I didn't see a dedicated thread on this:

Who else is excited?
It says it comes painted, but I bet you could easily slap on your own paint scheme. I'm really looking forward to seeing what people do with this guy.
I can imagine dioramas galore and with it's articulation, I could see quite a few stop-motion Vids popping up. I might even do one of my own
It also looks like the right size for a custom Knight, so I'm sure we might see one of those eventually.

Does anyone know if there's been an official release date for this? I didn't see one in the article, nor in any of the Warhammer fest articles I've seen.
Knowing the price would be nice too.

Ditto on being excited for them. if it has the same level of articulation as Bandai's Gundam models, I think they'll sell like hotcakes. It will be interesting to see if they add plates to the MK X armour to make gravis, phobos, etc.

Any guesses on price point?

I spend enough money on the models. I’ll be be good off this.

Meh, thats suddenly unsold me.

I was hoping for more of an "airfix" kit sort of thing, to serve as a replacement for the FW Imperial Space Marine.

Ah well, maybe if the price is right, which I expect somewhere in the region of $50-75.

$50-75 for a 7" action figure? That's a bit rich. But I guess it's higher quality than your run-of-the-mill toy for kids.

I guess it's cheaper than an Imperial Knight, or WaithKnight, which are about the same height. And it will come assembled (mostly) so there is that. Just trying to get some perspective on the price.

I really want to get one of these. If they release chapter variants (just paint swaps), I may be in trouble. I have 2 sons that play UMs and Salamanders respectively. If they have both of those chapters, and maybe a Red chapter (likely BAs) I may have to get all 3 for us....if they are $50 or less. More than that would mean only 1 for me.

Honestly, $50 is a pipe dream. These will be closer to $100 just based on Bandai's other offerings these days. Their SH Figuarts line is probably the most comparable, and something like an armored character like Iron Man is running around $100 with a stand or accessories. Those are also 6" scale figures, so even the Iron Man figs are smaller than the Marine will likely be. I'm super excited and expect the Space Marine fig to turn out amazing, but it's going to be a hundred dollar figure realistically.
