That’s right comic book fans, the legendary McFarlane toys is making a new line of Space Marine Action Figures for Games Workshop!
Warhammer Community has the latest previews from the New York Toy Fair, and they have outdone themselves this time!
The New York Toy Fair is an annual event where game companies from all over gather under one spot to preview some of the releases that’ll be hitting stores around the holidays.
As long-time lovers of New York, Toys and Fairs of all kinds, we thought we’d pop along to the New York Toy Fair, a major event for toy sellers across the world. We brought with us some very exciting new stuff. Over the past couple of years, we’ve returned to our roots with a ton of board games aimed at new fans, alongside reinventions of classic games for veterans – and we’ve got good news for fans of both.
Hot off the heels of the Bandai Space Marine Action figure GW just announced a new line is on the way from the legendary McFarlane Toys. Those Bandai Space Marine figures should be landing here in the states within a few months. No word yet if there will be a delay due to manufacturing because of the outbreak of the coronavirus yet.
Bandai Primaris Space Marine Figure: Sold Out
This collectible work of art is right around the corner but there’s some important information to keep in mind:
There were only 9,000 Primaris Marine action figures sold initially.
We’ll send our final order to Bandai as soon as we hit 9,000, and they’ll produce the action figures and start deploying them around the world. We expect them to start arriving in your hands in the second quarter of 2020. Bandai will also make and sell a very limited run in select hobby and collectible shops, but don’t rely on being able to find one in stores – if you want one, pre-order it as soon as you can so you don’t risk missing out.
GW Announces New McFarlane Space Marine Action Figures
Coming soon from the makes of Spawn, and other action figures of comic book characters and sports stars through the years will be a new line of Space Marine pre-painted and primed action figures. They will start with the Intercessor model.

Games Workshop is announcing a new partnership with action-figure masters McFarlane to release a range of Warhammer 40,000 action figures, starting with this Primaris Intercessor.
Details are being kept on the down-low right now, but we have a few tidbits we can share. First of all, these fully poseable action figures are planned for release in both painted and unpainted versions (perfect for representing your favourite Chapter). Secondly, this Primaris Intercessor is only the beginning – there are more already in the pipeline, and they’re not all Space Marines… We’ll have more news on just how you can get your hands on these before too long.
Wow what a surprise! Many of you out there probably have at least seen the quality of McFarlane toys throughout the years, if not own a few yourself. I know I do! With a little luck, we may see these in big box stores by the holidays priced for hobbyists and toy collectors alike!
