I think It has been around 6 months since the last time Joytoy released 1/18 Primarch in their human form. With the recent series of addition of Iron Warriors into Joytoy 40k Portfolio, It is not surprising that Perturabo joins in the fray with his children! Scheduled for November 2025 release, Joytoy 1/18 Perturabo will be sold for 140 USD SRP.
Among Emperor of Mankind's Primarchs, Perturabo is one of the more resentful with his lot. Extremely proficient in Siege warfare, He is tasked to lead his Iron Warriors legion to fight some of the worst battles in Great Crusade which force high attrition rate which are relatively thankless as other Space Marine Legions picked up many battles where Iron Warriors did most of the difficult job only to have glory denied to them so many times. This eventually built up Perturabo and his legions resentment quite fast which eventually led him to join Chaos side to settle scores with Imperial Fist, especially Rogal Dorn having the honor of building Palace of Terra which Perturabo coveted.
When it comes to Joytoy rendition, Perturabo's sculpt is no doubt superb just like many of Joytoy's Big ticket items for Warhammer 40k. But I expect the articulation will have significant issues given the bulk but there is definitely a certain charm with 40k Army having Hazard Stripes as part of their color design. I will expect there will be more Iron Warriors Space Marine down the road considering Imperial Fist got sizable roster for the 30k settings and it would be certainly a sight to re-enact Imperial Fist and Iron Warriors bitter rivalry in 1/18 Scale format!
