Wizardry Variants Daphne - Beginning Abyss True Ending GET

 Supposedly I should have written this article before talking about making Wizardry Variants Daphne main article. But in this instance I would like to share my experience in clearing the Beginning Abyss Dungeon which is only achievable on Second run of the Dungeon. For the First tutorial dungeon, Wizardry Variants Daphne choice to put a very brutal challenge for new players is rather Peculiar. Because It took me like Three Weeks to reach the True ending with respectable amount of effort which is kinda unheard of for a Gacha Game. If you minmax and have time to Spare, probably you can reach Wizardry Daphne Beginning Abyss True Ending in One week but typical target demographic of this game unlikely have that kind of time with their Full Time job.

While the Difficulty level of the Beginner Dungeon is way too brutal for average casual gamer, It definitely sets the tone of a Epic Dark Fantasy that will come out from Wizardry Variants Daphne.

January 2025 Loot

 
 This month's hauls should have been posted Earlier this month but due to unforeseen circumstances, I ca only share it by this time. Overall a very solid haul which are dominated by Chinese Hobby Collectibles just like many previous batch. The most expensive of the hauls are no doubt the Gattai Seven Changer but the Chinese can deliver top tier product for 1/2 to 1/3rd of this Guy's value ranging from Chinese Gundams Metal Build, Joytoy Primarch to Cangtoys Loong. I would definitely love to crack open Jingwei or Tianfa in near future should I have time but Loong also got a good shot to be the first pick since I would like to see how it size up with Figma Chen. I would also love to crack open Joytoy Magnus the Red and have him doing some wrestling match with Leman Russ to settle their Grudges. In any case it is a solid batch of hayls again which align with this Blog's main interests.

Wizardry Variants Daphne

 
 Over past 1 month I have been playing this new Gacha game called Wizardry Variants Daphne. As expected from a Game that bears the same name with one of the Progenitor of JRPG, Wizardry Variants Daphne is a Solid classic Dungeon Crawling JRPG that comes with Brutal Difficulty yet fun Old School RPG experience. For a Gacha Game made by Japanese Dev in a time where Chinese Gaming Industry reigns supreme, Wizardry Variants Daphne is promising JRPG game that is quite well made and could have sold well even as a console game. But for some reason the Devs decide to make this new iteration of Wizardry as Gacha game that overall have solid production value and potential. Interestingly the Illustrator of this game is the same one with Fire Emblem Awakening series.

Bartender (Manga)

 Revisiting this particular manga called Bartender which I read halfway 15 years ago. Turns out I almost finished my reading run back then and as expected Bartender is one of those reason why Mid 2000s is the peak of Japanese Manga Genre. Taking place in Late 90s, Bartender is the story a Prodigy Bartender named Ryuu Sasakura whose skill is so renowned to be called Glass of God and used it in  Ginza Nightlife scene and eventually his own Bar of Eden Hall to soothe the souls of his Patrons with his cocktails.

Genshin Impact 1/7 Eula Lawrence Wavecrest Waltz Ver

 
 Mihoyo is still taking their time for Genshin Merchandise and Eula is the next one getting a Scale figure by Wonderful Works! Based on her SSR Illustration, Favonius Recon Squad captain comes in 1/7 Scale along with Song of Broken Pines Claymore. Scheduled for November 2025 release, 1/7 Wonderful Works Eula will be sold for 30580 Yen.

I am using this post to criticize Mihoyo yet again. While there is nothing wrong with Eula and her Scale figure, her release timing really indicate Mihoyo never really cares for their Genshin IP. For a top tier waifu character like Eula, she is very badly neglected since the beginning and even worse off than Keqing both in the game and Merchandise. To put it simply, Eula Scale Figure release timing is way past her hype already as it took 5 years for a First Year SSR waifu to make it as a Scale Figure based on default illustration, not even Figma or Nendoroid! While I would say Eula is still quite fortunate compared to other Monstadt characters, this is the sort of negligence attitude that led Genshin's playerbase goes Disillusioned with Mihoyo's management  on Genshin. While I personally felt it is kinda late, I hope that Eula's release indicate that Mihoyo do intend to get things done and release more of Genshin's collectibles in near future.

Wizardry (OVA)

 Wizardry is a Legendary RPG series that cannot be understated for its immense influence in Japan. This series is essentially one of the main pillar of JRPG genre that was well known for its brutal and unforgiving Fantasy Dungeon Crawling experience. Due to my recent encounter with Wizardry Variants Daphne, I end up came across the OVA anime of this 40 Years Old Classic simply dubbed as Wizardry.

Based on Wizardry 1: Proving Grounds of Mad Overlord, Wizardry OVA is a short and intense Fantasy adventure. The OVA is a hack and slash fantasy rollercoaster with a basic premise where a Group of experienced adventurers for various reasons decide to challenge the Mad Wizard Werdna who tried to unleash Evil Power from an Amulet stolen from his former friend in the deepest part of the dungeon he created.

As a Fantasy Anime, Wizardry OVA is very fast paced and goes straight to the meat of Fantasy Adventure and did it well, which is quite a rarity for Japanese anime as they usually tend to prefer their weakling protagonist went through some character development first. Even a DnD fan will enjoy this Wizardry OVA because it is a good depiction of Level 5-8 DnD Campaign where the Adventurers are somewhat experienced but still very vulnerable against the threat that a Dungeon had and will have to rely on their wits to survive the challenge presented to them. 

If you like Fantasy Anime, you won't have nothing to lose to give this Wizardry OVA a watch just to show a glimpse what Japanese were capable of back in the Golden Age of their economy. I will definitely discuss Wizardry Variants Daphne in near future which make me got into this old yet venerable Classic RPG series.

Age of Sigmar Joytoy 1/18 Stormcast Eternal Blacktalons

 One week before Joytoy took their well deserved break on CNY and they still managed to deliver surprises after surprises! This time we got something not from the usual Warhammer 40k but Age of Sigmar with the first honor goes to the Blacktalons Stormcast Eternal team. Scheduled for April 2025 release,these Blacktalons are sold for 284 USD as set of 5 or 50-65 USD each.

Joytoy release of this Age of Sigmar Blacktalons is a big deal because it is a potential gateway for Fans to get Quality Action Figures by Joytoy for Warhammer Fantasy Battle series just like 40k. I am not too well versed with Age of Sigmar myself apart from these Stormcast Eternal clad in Gold armor are roughly Fantasy counterpart for 40k Space Marines. But WHFB is one of those yet another massive power fantasy series that got its share of very cool Fantasy Medieval Armies. With this Blacktalon release, I am looking forward to Grail Knight and Demigryph Knights someday and might even assemble a Pike and Shot army from Empire faction. Heck, I wouldnt be surprised if we are getting Karl Franz with Deathwing in the future should this venture goes well for Joytoy and Games Workshop.

Out of the Blacktalons squad, the one that caught my attention the most is easily Hendrik Silverwolf which served as the veteran in Elite Monster Hunter team even though Neave Blacktalon is the actual leader which the latter remind me of Sister Vindicta from Warhammer Tacticus. In any case we will probably start to see more of these new Warhammer Lineup on Mid February once the CNY holiday has passed.

Farewell Super Mecha Champions

 Well, the inevitable has arrived and Super Mecha Champions today officially down its server and end its service. Another mecha game bite the dust without any sendoff which is really a sad thing. But like many fans who loved this game, at very least I did my part of sending off SMC by playing a last game on the final day.

Once again I would like to say that Super Mecha Champions met its demise due to Netease negligence whom never put the proper amount of effort for this game in the right direction. I have to admit that Mainland Chinese company's extreme pragmatic approach for their product do bear good results. But personally at times companies Netease take this methodology way too far. Comparing to growing a crop, sometimes you really need more than Top Grade Soil, Fertilizer and Insecticide to let the Crop bears the greatest amount of Yields and Netease doesn't put enough care for SMC and simply consider this game outright as a failure when it is unable to deliver the result they desired. Seriously there are things that cannot be seen if you don't have any love for it.

With SMC's Demise, I will not be touching any Netease products anymore at least until they tried to make any amends for SMC by making a revival of some sort. As for myself, I will still commit to complete the sendoff for SMC with full fledged Mechatalk which will also include the Pilots database. This is the least can do for Fans to have something to reminisce with the series just like Final Gear last year.

B'T X

 Going back to revisit this classic 90s series which I watched as a kid since as my preparation part for Degenerator Industry 1/12 Action figure for Teppei and X. Just like many other kids back in this era, I was exposed to this BTX series which did give me quite an impression and even at some point I had a copy of Takara Tomy Seiryu Ron & Raido. In this article I will cover the anime version which spanned over 39 Episodes and split into B'T X and B'T X Neo. I will cover manga in another future post as it deserve its own considering the anime did diverge from the original source material due to the circumstances at the time.

Platinumhugen Ordian

 Late 90s to Early 2000s gotta be the era where some really bad Mecha Anime were made. This particular era was quite different compared to 80s as Mecha anime in this time had transitioned from Overstretched Toy commercials. But lacking Solid financial backing from a Sponsor still doesn't prevent some anime studio to come up with really Bad mecha and Platinumhugen Ordian is another Prime example which happened to be directed by Masami Obari. Nowhere as bad as Cybuster which still held the title of the worst Mecha Anime, but this one is quite bad.

The Premise of Platinumhugen Ordian is pretty much about a teenage Male Protagonist with murky past who somehow related to an officer from an Elite Military Organizaion that got robots. In a turns of event, He got roped into piloting a Mecha then experience some PTSDs and then somehow find himself piloting One of the Two Super Robots which is an Ancient Weapon and the only thing that can confront the Black Super Robot counterpart which is piloted by Main Antagonist and bent on mass destruction, deciding the fate of the world with their showdown.

To put it simply, Platinumhugen Ordian is Obari's attempt at emulating and making his own Evangelion series. but given his limitation as Anime Director and lack of Good writer in the project, the series obviously failed spectacularly despite the overall concept is quite interesting. Also don't be fooled with the bulk of the Mecha design in this series which are real Robot, Platinumhugen Ordian is Obari's super robot show through and through.

While Platinumhugen Ordian is pretty much a failure destined to fate into obscurity, the series still got some merits. As expected by Masami Obari, The mecha designs are actually A+ and offer a glimpse of Mecha version of Tekkaman which Obari did contributed back then. But poorly executed storyline definitely make it difficult for average anime fan to get into unless they are Mecha enthusiasist. Also I find another missing piece of Muvluv series from Platinumhugen Ordian. Because Muvluv's pilot suits with distinct Chin Guard and TSF Shiranui is most likely derived from Platinumhugen Ordian.

As much as Platinumhugen Ordian is a failure as Mecha anime, the mecha itself are quite good and I won't mind getting a finished Product for Ordian which is Dangaioh with mini Dragonar Tekkaman.

Highserk Senki: What do you of with those Murky Eyes?

 With Kadokawa have been teetering recently, perhaps we will see less Isekais in the future, but I still come across to a promising one on a random encounter of manga called Nigoru Hitomi de Nani wo Negau: Highserk Senki. Dark Fantasy rarely blends with Isekai but Highserk Senki is one of those few specimens. Just like typical Isekai series, the main protagonist died once and transported into a Fantasy Medieval settings that just happened to be bleak one where War is a common occurence. The main Protagonist is an Anti Hero who served a warlike medieval Kingdom called Highserk and slowly rise from the rank of Common Soldier with his special ability and Magical talent of Blue Flame which had a peculiar significance in the setting and spread terror upon his foes.

Highserk Senki is quite a fresh Isekai reading experience since the amount of the Grimdarkness of the setting hit the right amount o balance without being too edgy. The main Protagonist also is not really a wuss either like typical Japanese Isekai protagonist who tried his best to stay in a Neutral alignment despite going through a hellish experience while keeping himself grounded and do whatever necessary to stay alive. So far the Manga only had 19 Chapters but the Light Novel translation had been going quite far which the Manga only reached about 1/5th of the Novel translation. I probably will binge the Novel and keep track of this series if It can wrap up with Satifsying ending which many of Isekais failed to do.

Arcanadea Ermeda Plastic Model

 
 Amongst Intensive barrage of Mecha Musume model kits from Chinese Manufacturer, Kotobukiya still managed to put up a good resistance even if overwhelmed by quantity. So after the Firebird themed Charmed, Kotobukiya's Fantasy Mecha Musume lineup comes with a new one called Ermeda and this one does not disappoint! Scheduled for June 2025 Release, Arcanadea Ermeda will be sold for 8965 Yen.

Arcanadea Ermeda goes back to the Angelic Theme like Lumitea, the first of this particular Mecha Musume lineup. In terms of overall vibes, Ermeda gives off a Cleric Onee-san vibe who use a Bow as a weapon of Choice. Or she could pass of as Senior Angel who came down to assist the Hero Adventurers. While I am not too well versed with the Mecha Musume, the Sculpt of Arcanadea Ermeda is impressive as usual when it comes to expresiveness and the Wing parts is a sight to behold to. I think the next Arcanadea will come with more serious vibe after Ermeda.

N-Gage Warhammer 40K: Glory in Death Space Marines Campaign Complete

 Warhammer 40k is no doubt one of the biggest Sci-Fi Series in the west because it is still one of the best Male Power Fantasy out there. There were plenty of gateways to get into 40k series and I found mine 18 Years ago. I used to be quite a devoute Nokia N-Gage Fanboy when I was in Highschool and through this Gaming Mobile Phone, I stumble upon this particular Warhammer 40k Game called W40K: Glory in Death. Just like Rifts and Pocket Kingdom, this game influenced me deeply in my gaming journey but I never actually managed to finish the game at the time. Now when I am in my 30s, I somehow find my way to get back into N-Gage through EKAL21 and go straight into this Hidden Gem of Warhammer 40k Game.

Arknights 1/7 Amiya Solo Around the World ver

 
 Arknights is very quick on this one! Just right around before Christmas last month, Arknights released  a special L2D Skin for Amiya in her Medic Class called Solo Around the world concurrently on every Arknights server. This Elaborate L2D skin give this Doktah's beloved Bunny Daughter a cute Witch costume reclining with a Violin on her side. Then 2-3 Weeks after the Skin release on Arknights game, Goodsmile Shanghai announced this version of Amiya PVC figure to be sold as 1/7 Scale Figure. Scheduled for February 2026 release, 1/7 Amiya Solo around the World ver will be sold for 27000 Yen.

 While I never really utilize Amiya in my Arknights Squad, after seeing her struggle with Doctor in the main storyline for over 5 years. I do admit that this Donki Cautus daughter deserves her Main heroine position in Arknights. Being the best skin so far for Amiya, this Solo Around the World skin gives a rather melancholy vibe for Amiya. Given Amiya's fate in the future will appear to be a very tragic one especially if Doctor is not by her side, as shown in the latest Integrated Strategies mode where Amiya become the Super Secret boss.

This PVC Figure release also served as a slap in the face for Mihoyo who don't put their act together with Genshin IP. Because even Hypergryph who make less profit with Arknights can coordinate properly and use the momentum well to release a Product shortly after an In-game content. Personally I am highly interested with this Amiya's PVC Figure despite she is nowhere in my Arknights top waifu list. But the dealbreaker for this product would be how elaborate the Violin Case stand that the manufacturer's effort to put in. Once again shame on Mihoyo who can't get their internal politics sorted out to deliver a good experience for their fans.

Super Mecha Champions Mechatalk: Part 2

 10 More days before Super Mecha Champions officially closes down. Apologies that it took more than a month for the SMC Mechatalk to continue but I will assure that the Mecha part for SMC Mechatalk will be completed before the Server closedown. After covering the Starter mechs in SMC Mechatalk part 1, this time I will cover the Non-Starter Mechs that I managed to unlock before the server closedown. In my opinion, this is probably the best on for the Mecha Parts of SMC Mechatalk series since I unlocked some of the Mechas that struck my Fancy and some of them are given generous amount of skins by Netease. Without further ado, here is the Part 2 of SMC Mechatalk!

SRW OG CCS Toys 鉄魄 [MORTAL MIND] Alteisen

 
 CCS Toys truly come for the rescue! It is almost about 2 years since Flame Toys reveal their take on the Iconic SRW OG Mech Alteisen which were rather on expensive side. And now CCS Toys ready to unveil their take for this Old Iron which is very impressive and justify the reason why any SRW fans should pay attention with them. After Cybuster, CCS Toys released a Diecast version of Alteisen under the same Mortal Mind lineup. Scheduled for March 2025 release, CCS Mortal Mind Alteisen will be sold for 32000 Yen Price tag.

Just like Cybuster, the CCS version of Alteisen will likely stand 20+cm which correspond to 1/100 Scale. Compared to the Flame Toys version, CCS sports darker color scheme and even look more bulkier for already Alteisen's imposing stature. Despite being 20% cheaper compared to Flametoys, CCS Version of Alteisen's value is no slouch and In fact even better. While this one does not have Shishioh blade, CCS decide to go beyond the limit and make some impressive effect parts for Alteisen's Heavy Claymore which are probably never done for any previous Alteisen's physical product. Despite I already have Kotobukiya's 1/100 Alteisen, I will likely get this one to reunite the SRW OG Main protagonists once again. I will leave the parts contents of CCS and Flametoys Alteisen for people to decide which company make the better Diescast product for this beloved Old Iron.

Cangdao Degenerator Industry SV-001 Metal Slug Review

 First Review for this year! Since I just discussed about the BT'X product from Degenerator Industry, I might as well use the momentum to showcase their previous product which is SV-001 Metal Slug. Never expected somebody make a mecha from the iconic Tank from SNK's 90s Popular Run&Gun Sidescrolling video game series but this is a well made product.

Overall Degenerator Industry SV-001 Metal Slug is a solid homage product for the Classic series which just hit the perfect balance of Value and Price point. While there were other decent options for Metal Slug collectibles like the Pantasy Brick Model or Beast Kingdom Pullback Car, however in terms of Value-for-money, This transformable Metal Slug Tank mecha is still the best one so far.

 For a 400RMB Toy Product, you got yourself a large Metal Slug Tank that have neat transformation gimmick even if the mecha is not the best looking. On top of that It comes with some Diecast parts and LED Gimmick. These sort of quality are not exactly even easy to achieve by Japanese manufacturer for double the price tag. Considering Degenerator Industry Production run has been more than 2 years already, it is kinda difficult to find a reasonable price on internet for this guy. But you won't regret to obtain this definitive Metal Slug collectible if you can find one around 80-90 USD.

B'T X Degenerator Industry DI-BT-02a 1/12 Teppei Takamiya & X DX version

 
 There are plenty of Classic Japanese mecha series that never got the revival it deserved due to Japan's faltering economic situation and nowadays it is up to China to come for the rescue. This time, B'T X a mecha series made by Saint Seiya Mangaka is the one that got the turn and we got a promising 1/12 Scale Product! Created by a manufacturer called Degenerator Industry and released by Cangdao, Teppei and X will be sold as a DX Set for 790 RMB with June 2025 release schedule. Though both can be bought separately for 380 and 550 RMB.

I think this product will turn out well because Degenerator Industry did have decent track record with their previous products. Considering they are actually the one behind Cangdao's Metal Slug mecha which is a well made product since I had one. This B'T X Product do get my attention because I did get exposed to the series as a Kid. I did watch the anime but never in full but what I get from the series premise, B'T X is a story of pure hearted Boy set forth on a quest to rescue his elder brother against Evil Mecha Empire with the help of a Sentient Animal Mecha called X that looked like Pegasus but actually based on Chinese Qilin. 

While we still won't know if Degenerator's Industry B'T X will come as a Diecast product or not, this one will fit with my collections of Cavalry action figure. In fact I did have Takara's Seiryu BT Toy back when I was a kid which is why I kept my interest on this product. Hopefully by getting this product by supporting the manufacturer, we can get to see at least Seiryu and Suzaku got physical release because the mechanical design are pretty good. I think I will revisit B'T X anime series in near future as part of anticipating this product release to keep myself hyped up.

Thermae Romae Redux

 Never expect this Great Historical Fiction Manga series to see some continuation, but Thermae Romae really do get a sequel! Simply Dubbed Thermae Romae Redux, this surprising sequel takes place 20 years after Thermae Romae ended where the Main protagonist, Lucius Modestus successfully finished his Great Roman Bathhouse Project for Emperor Hadrian and found the love of his life from Modern Japan. This time during the Reign Transition between Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurellius, after the mysterious disappearance of his wife, Lucius Modestus and his Son took yet another great adventure to create great Wonders for Roman Bathhouse Culture from their experience of being spirited away to Modern Japan.

As expected by Mari Yamazaki sensei who is probably one of the more well versed Mangaka with Ancient Rome History, Thermae Romae Redux is a great read just like the first series. As the balance between Drama and Humor remains great as usual and at the same time we will get another glimpse of Rome during the last stretch of Five Good Emperors period. Despite the theme used for Thermae Romae is rather narrow compared to typical Historical Manga, the Thermae Romae Redux experience is still fresh which is testament of the mangaka's storytelling capability. So far this Thermae Romae Sequel only made it around 1-2 Volumes considering the series started on early 2024, but I will believe the story quality can still remain consistent for 4-5 Volumes worth. While waiting for the Redux get its story continuation, I can still stick with Thermae Romae or Kentou Shitouden Cestus to get my Roman historical drama fix.

Nikke Hyper Body Red Hood

  Nikke is very quick on their Merchandising lately! Around the same time Rapi got her SSR version, one of the more popular Nikke who is closely related to the main heroine, Red Hood gets an action figure. Just like Modernia, She got a Hyper Body Treatment because GSC felt it is more suitable compared to Figma. Scheduled for December 2025 release, Hyperbody Red Hood will be sold for 15800 Yen.

 Red Hood is one of the legendary Nikke in the series being part of the Legendary Goddess Squad but at some point she fell in combat in the combat against Rapture. However Red Hood managed to live on somehow in a fateful encounter with Rapi when she still was a Mass produced Nikke and her soul lays dormant until Rapi needs her power. In Combat, Red Hood is armed with oversized Sniper Rifle and apparently she was a Meta S1&S3 Unit. When I still played Nikke, I managed to get her anniv Dress Costume which put her perfect body into good display even I never managed to get her by the time I quitted Nikke. Red Hood's caught my attention due to her close resemblance with Surtr from Arknights and would pass as her if the former decided to have goofier personality and picked oversized Rifle as her weapon. While Red Hood is still a skip for me, I would likely consider if D: Killer Wife ever gets an action figure.

Tsukihime Max Factory 1/8 Arcueid Brunestud - Piece of Blue Glass Moon

 
 Not sure what kind of special Occassion that Tsukihime had, but the Moon Princess Arcueid Brunestud got yet another Luxurious PVC Figure treatment by Max Factory! Perhaps it is in the anticipation of Tsukihime 25th Anniversary, but this is the second time in a year that Arcueid in her True Ancestor princess getup got a PVC Figure treatment! Scheduled for January 2026 release, this particular version of Arcueid will be released in 1/8 Scale and sold for 34800 Yen.

If this particular figure for Arcueid was made in 1/7 Scale for 35k Yen which was very possible in 10 years ago, It would have given the Aniplex version that was announced in Early 2024 a run for their money. But as the product ends up as 1/8 Scale, it is just a viable substitute.

Compared to the Aniplex version, this version of Arcueid got more color warmth with her and evoked more emotion compared to the former even if the pose simply a mirror job. For some reason, this version of Arcueid reminds me of Jalter Dress version and perhaps the Sculptor is still the same person which means the Hair part will be very heavy. In any case we could probably expect more Tsukihime merchandise within 2025 if Aniplex is somewhat competent in milking Typemoon's IP and perhaps we could even see Ciel and Akiha's PVC figure popping out.

Super Robot Heroes Orange Cat 1/100 Estailev Neamhain

  Without a doubt Estailev is one of the better looking Original mecha design that oozes Protagonist Mecha aura in past few years and Orange Cat Industry are making good use of capitalizing the design to make several iterations. After the Red Cassowary, Orange Cat moves onto the Black color scheme for Estailev dubbed Estaliev Neamhain. Scheduled for Q1 2025, Estailev Neamhain will be sold for 158 RMB Price tag.

Given the namesake after Irish Myth Goddess of War, Estailev Neamhain is a melee monster equipped with a pair of Heat Katanas as its main armaments. I suppose Orange Cat decided to refrain giving this particular variant of Estailev a Japanese namesake due to the oversaturation of this particular niche in Chinese Mecha Toys market. Considering Orange Cat could release Neamhain in the timing that I will be getting my copy of Cassowary, I am quite sure that Orange Cat could release another Estailev varient soon. If the next Estailev comes in Green color scheme, it will be highly likely a heavy support variant.

Warhammer 40k Joytoy 1/18 Constantin Valdor

  Trying to catch up the slack with my inactivity last week and for the First Post of 2025 and lets start with something Gold! As a parting gift to conclude their 40k Lineup run in 2024 which is absolutely solid, Joytoy gave us the Captain General of Legio Custodes, Constantin Valdor! Scheduled for June 2025 release, Joytoy Constantin Valdor will be sold for 140 USD Price tag.

The price tag of a 40k Joytoy Products already indicate the character's Importance and Constantin Valdor does not deviate from this rule. Constantin Valdor is the first Leader of Adeptus Custodes faction, easily being the best of the best of Imperium's Cream of the crop apart from Primarchs. Constantin is one of the Emperor of Mankind's closest Confidant apart from Malcador which speaks through what he is capable of. Constantin is armed with powerful relic called Apollonian Spear. In 40k Settings, Constantin didn't play much role as the Captain General position is relegated to Trajan Valoris and he mysteriously disappears just like many Primarchs. Regardless he will still have a significant role to play if GW wills it.
