An Alien Life of Starboykb

Having Chapter Master Marneus Calgar in the collection is a must for Ultramarine. He wears a big-size armour that arms with both a power fist and a built-in bolter. The figure has a bulky design with a beautiful emblem and decoration around the figure's armour plate. However, there are problems with the figure.

The common one is very limited articulations. In the Calgar case, the hip joint movement was blocked by the armour causing some problems in posing. Secondly, the paintwork is not as good compared to the Librarian, even to the Grey Knights. My biggest complaint would be the Marneus Calgar head is so poorly done. Looks like it was hastily worked on from the factory and the painting is far too different from the official promo. My eagle decor was affected (on the backpack) with a visible dirty gold colour in the photo.

Thirdly, the ‘Halo’ and the bullets at the bolter cannot be removed. Both of them are directly fixed. I see some community reported the ‘Halo’ is somewhat fragile and can be easily broken. 

This is an Ultramarines Primaris Captain wielding a master-crafted heavy bolt rifle and a power sword that comes with a sheath. The set only comes with a clock, and pairs of swappable hands. It’s a shame it doesn’t have the option to swap helmetless character heads because look a bit plain despite him being a captain. I may have to do mixing with other figures to upgrade his looks. Surprisingly, he is taller than the Librarian and comparable in size to Grey Knights Terminator.

The Ultramarines Primaris Librarian is the second wave released in 2022 which I asked the Game Workshop local dealer to help me purchase when it was put up on the official website. Good articulation (limited), is nicely painted and the quality is better than the Mcfarlane toys. Sadly, this figure comes with a few problems like loose shoulder joints and side armour plating easily popping off.
