Just right after Ultrasmurfs Termies, Joytoy is releasing some more 1/18 Action figure for 40k named character and this time it is the Chief Librarian Mephiston from the vampiric loyalist Space Marine Blood Angels chapter! Scheduled for end of Q3 2023 release, Joytoy Mephiston will be sold for 70 USD SRP price tag.
Every Space Marine Chapters have their share of Psyker Space Marine known as Librarians but Mephiston is rather special even for Blood Angels chapter which have some skeletons in their closet too. Blood Angels possesed some genetic flaws within their geneseeds akin to a curse known as Red Thirst and Black Rage in which the latter affliction proved so fatal that the Blood Angels afflicted with this curse are consumed with insatiable rage that they are permanently put into Suicidal Squads known as Death Company until they find death on battlefield. Then we have this Mephiston guy being the only Blood Angels officially known to overcome the Black Rage and channel the fury of the curse toward the foes of Imperium. Surviving Black Rage curse and claiming the awesome title Lord of Death for himself out of the ordeal, Mephiston is no doubt a certified badass who will inspire his fellow Blood Angels battle brothers. Lastly despite being a Psyker, Mephiston is a Close Combat monster who can dish some serious punishment with his Sanguine Blade and trusty plasma pistol.
As much as I like Mephiston's fluff and consider him as very badass character, I might skip Mephiston since i am not fan of Blood Angel's Baroque Vampire theme aspect and need to conserve my budget for Chapter Master Dante who is another Blood Angels badass.
