What's the point of being an adult if you can't buy yourself a big Joytoy Warhammer 40,000 action figure to display on your PC gaming desk?
For the classic space marine look, this guy's a really affordable option made that bit more attractive with the discount. Castor is a bit of an obscure character—he's from the Space Marine Heroes range of miniatures—but ultimately he's just a badass Ultramarine with the iconic bolter weapon and the option of a bolt pistol and chainsword too.

Sometimes being a grown-up means being responsible, restrained, and sensible with your money. And sometimes it means no one can tell you off for buying a badass six inch tall space marine to watch over your bookshelf.
Joytoy's large scale Warhammer toys are really genuinely impressive. I'm not normally an action figure guy, but I've got one of their Sisters of Battle and a 30k Thousand Sons Terminator, and I was really pleasantly surprised by the level of detail and articulation. Here's a pic—just don't comment about my messy desk:
They're sizeable, too, and really chunky—definitely more imposing than your average miniature. They also come with lots of extra accessories, including in some cases optional hands, heads, and weapons, which is ideal for posing.
They can be quite expensive however, especially the larger and more elaborate figures depicting some of Warhammer 40k's most iconic characters—so any kind of discount is always welcome. Thankfully, Walmart's got some offerings on that front this year for Black Friday, with 10% a wide selection of different space marines.
The sale includes:
- The Horus Heresy version of Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons | $106.20 @ Walmart
- Ultramarines, including Marneus Calgar, Sergeant Gadriel from Space Marine 2, a terminator chaplain, and more | from $26.29 @ Walmart
- Horus Heresy Custodes, including terminators and venatari | from $47.70 @ Walmart
- A Horus Heresy Thousand Sons dreadnought | $87.30 @ Walmart
- Lion El'Jonson, the triumphantly returned Primarch of the Dark Angels | $117.89 @ Walmart
- A Horus Heresy Blood Angels praetor | $60.29 @ Walmart
- An Iron Hands terminator captain | $51 @ Walmart
They haven't made it the easiest sale to navigate, because some of the product pages include multiple different figures. The trick is to click on the different prices under the main product name to see all the different Space Marines on offer.
My pick of the bunch is definitely Lion El'Jonson. He's just so grand and imposing, it'd be like having a big piece of Warhammer art on your desk. And I love that he even comes with his two mysterious little helpers. Cute!
This imposing Primarch is one of the most elaborate and impressive figures in Joytoy's entire Warhammer collection. He's certainly priced accordingly, however, so a 10% discount with free shipping is very welcome.
