Marines get so much produced that the quality varies wildly.

I realized a couple days ago that all the original Blood Angels characters went without updates for at least *twenty three years* up until the new Mephiston a couple weeks ago.

I actually think the Dante model still looks great even by modern standards (I want to have Jes Goodwin's weird raspy-voiced, Disney-villain babies), and that Corbulo is still fine, but 23 years is… well… it's something, alright.

Yeah I remember when they came out. Tycho was painted in non metal metal gold which was crazy at the time.


They're still not as old as Ragnar blackmane.

And the Phoenix lords are just as Old...

The vyper is the oldest plastic vehicle currently for sale..

Didn't the IG Sentinel come out at the same time? It was updated to put both variants in one box but is still essentially the same

No the first plastic version came out in 2000.

The CAD update one that came out in 2009 has so many new parts and improvements that is it essentially a new version anyway.
