Joytoy's output for Warhammer 40k in 2025 are not as frequent as it used to be but it doesn't mean they are pulling they are punches! After Pre-Heresy Magnus and Daemon Prince Angron, the Primarch of Death Guard makes it in his Daemon Primarch form! Scheduled for February 2026, Joytoy Daemon Primarch Mortarion will be sold for 200 USD.
Among the Daemon Primarchs, Mortarion's lot is similar to Magnus being unwilling servant of Chaos, representing Nurgle, Chaos God of Pestillence and Decay. While he had resentment toward Emperor of Mankind, he fell to chaos due to Nurgle exploiting his despair and in the attempt to save Death Guard from Chaos corruption, he became the Daemon Primarch representing Nurgle. In 40k settings Mortarion fought a mortal combat with his brother primarch twice. Once with Jaghatai of White Scars during siege of Terra and another bout with Guilliman after his resurrection.
While not as large as Angron, Mortarion in his Daemon Primarch form is certainly a sight to behold with! The sculpt quality of Joytoy is superb as usual, perfectly depicting the Primarch of Death Guard as harbinger of corruption and decay. For the action figure of Mortarion size, Joytoy also include a robust stand base for Mortarion to be put on flying pose, perfectly reminding of my nightmare with him as raid boss in Tacticus.
With Mortarion release, I think we could see more Death Guard to be released in the future particularly Typhus, the champion of Nurgle. With Mortarion release, all left from the main Daemon Primarch to be released is Fulgrim which I will look forward to collect his pre-heresy form.
