Also got suited Assassin in this week (cheapest Joytoy purchase ever, I think it came to $18 CDN after coupons). He's nice, but when I opened him the hands spilled everywhere and I lost one of the ungloved ones. Drat.
(What do people use for stands for Joytoy figs? None of the ones I have - Marauder, Joe, Star Wars, even some leftover Tron stands - work.)

I got the Suited Assassin today (inadvertently). I ordered Steiner and the Mercenary from Flyima via AliExpress. I got the Steiner figure and the Assassin instead. I'm hoping they'll make it right.
I've been using blue tack to stand the figures up in my Detolf cabinet. Its about 75% effective at keeping them standing.

Does anyone have the JoyToy Crazy Reload SUV, or the Wildcat ATV? How do you like it? I'm also eying the Skeleton Forces Collection ...
I ordered my first figure from JoyToy. Mercenary K. Arrives tomorrow. The reviews have been generally negative on the figure compared to the other mercenaries. I think he looks cool / unique, and the standard all Coyote Tan contractor look I am kitting on on some Marauder figures. Also, I feel like if I wanted to jump into painting, I can paint the shoes to be Adidas and less of a bowling shoe. Completely on the fence with Fengmin.

The skeleton forces are one of the best looking and best equipped squads released to date. With it now having 7 members its one of the more imposing looking special operations teams on my shelves.

Agree 100 %. I cannot for the life of me find the first 4 figures. I have lost them. Makes me so frustrated.

The Skeleton Forces are what hooked me, especially the Grim Reapers. I'm buying more of those as I find them or when Amazon can get me a coupon. My local shop is now carrying JoyToy and I think I will grab another 5th Company if its still there next pay check.

These guys are about $50CDN for three after discounts. Not sure why this specific set keeps going cheap.... |

Here are my thoughts getting my first JoyToy figure in hand with the Mercenary K. This is actually the first time I’ve held a “modern era” style 1:18. I grew up on o-rings and I’m new to the game.
the plastic overall felt like something I could let my kids play with. Part of my worry in building a collection of the figures I want (Acid Rain, Joy Toy, Boss Fight, Dime Novel) is getting figures that they can’t ever play with. The plastic feels soft in a good way, unlike action force. It isn’t heavy. Articulation/stiffness: wish the neck looked better from all angles when the head is turned. Not sure if its because its fixed at the bottom of the neck. No stiffness issues. Figure felt ready to pose. Felt like i needed to take accessories off to seat him in a car, kept popping apart crunching him up. Paint: everything is good except a tiny spot missing on the head. But the face looks better in person. Accessories: mixed. The gun is a tiny bit odd proportion wise with the front hand-guard. The clip for the shield is way too soft. I wish that part snapped and stayed. Which leads me to the hands. The helmet is the worst part. Way too big for the head sculpt so its always flopping off. Looks cool though if left alone or placed on after setting a pose. Hands: these felt a bit too soft and the more i futzed with the gun and shield the flimsier it felt. Overall, not bad. It surpassed expectations in some ways but let me down in others. I wish the hands were firmer, and the shield clip was firmer. Then it would be perfect for me. I’m happy that i feel like i can supervise my kids with the figure and it wont break. I was worried it was going to be more fragile. |

Are Dark Source, Battle for the Stars, and Hardcore Coldplay inhouse brands for JoyToy?
