It’s official, the new Bandai Space Marine action figure will be coming out for preorders next week in at least one chapter’s colors! Check out the latest.
Warhammer Community just let us in on the pre-order release lineup for October 5th. One of which is a sweet Bandai Space Marine action figure!
TBH, we really didn’t get any new details about the model other than the confirmation on the date. However, keep eyes peeled through the week if you are excited about the model because we may see more information released on it during the week.
Earlier Release Rumors for Bandai’s Primaris Marine Action Figure
According to an industry insider, the new Primaris Action figure will be priced and packaged similarly to the other licensed releases Bandai does.
What does that mean? Bandai has their own specific line that they categorize licensed models under called S.H Figuarts. This new Avengers Warmachine figure is a prime example. With that said, the Primaris Marine might also hit the shelves under the same product line (mainly because the Primaris belongs to GW and therefore a licensee item).
Warmachine Figure Stand
Going off one of Bandai’s latest products, this Marvel Avengers action figure sits just one inch shorter than the Primaris Marine will. It might be out of stock right now, but we first saw the item go for pre-order at $80. Now that it’s available (and out of stock) it’s sitting at just under $90.
The extra inch and weapon options could drive up the price on the Primaris but at the end of the day, the model could very well sell for $80-$100 just like another licensee items.
You can see the Primaris Marine on display here with a clear plastic stand that looks to hook around his waist. Just like the stand holding up the Warmachine figure from above. Also shown are separate Primaris hand options as well.

LATEST: GW Reveals Painted Primaris Action Figure
This action figure is a collectable-grade posable model with over 50 points of articulation. The build quality and paint finish are everything you’d expect from our partners at Bandai. They’ve captured features like the Imperialis on his breastplate and distinctive Mk X faceplate in crisp detail while remaining faithful to everything that makes a Space Marine instantly recognisable.
Massive pauldrons, looming backpack vents, flared greaves and, of course, the bolt rifle – this iconic silhouette works just as well at this scale as any other.
While the Primaris is posed standing in a pretty neutral position, we’ve seen the range of motion this figure has from the earlier images from above. And with 50 points of articulation, you should be able to pull off any realistic pose you can think of.
The figure is painted up as an Ultramarines from the 3rd Battleline squad of the 2nd company. (Seen on pauldron markings). It will be up for pre-order sometime next month so keep your eyes peeled! While we have some excitement to look forward to next month, that’s not the only thing Bandai has been working on in the 40k universe.
