After an extended wait, McFarlane has announced the next figures in their Warhammer 40k figure series.


There are five new releases on the way, including two Artist Proof unpainted variants. The Ultramarines are being bolstered by the release of a Phobos Armour Lieutenant complete with a Bolt Gun, Bolter and Knife as well as a Backpack. There is also an unpainted Phobos Armour release for those who want to paint their own chapter Lieutenant.



Up next is a Blood Angels Assault Intercessor Sergeant complete with Power Sword, Power Fist, extra hands, and both helmeted and unmasked heads. There is also an accompanying unpainted Artist Proof.



The final figure is a Gold Label Exclusive and see's the debut of the Imperial Fists into the line with a new Intercessor Sergeant including Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, alternative hand, and two head options. This one is a Gamestop US Exclusive but should get a broader release outside of the US at McFarlane stockists.



Pre-orders on all the figures went live on the 16th July 2025 and all five figures are due for release in early August 2025. We have added all of these new releases on to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database



Assault Intercessors are amongst the most widespread close-support units in a Chapter’s arsenal. Firing their heavy bolt pistols as they close upon the foe, they charge into the fray, where they make short work of their enemies with brutal swings of their chainswords.



Lieutenants act as the right hands of their Captains by providing flexibility and helping to direct their battle-brothers in engagements. Clad in MK X Phobos armour he is adept to lead Vanguard Task Force equipped for infiltration and reconnaissance operations ranging ahead of their battle brothers.



The Imperial Fists were the most stalwart of the Space Marine Legions during the Horus Heresy, and their legend has grown with every passing century. Such heroism has always claimed its blood-price, but this is a burden the Imperial Fists bear with fortitude. Such is the Primarch’s inheritance: bluntness and hard-headedness, leavened by idealism and a passion for the dream of an Imperium restored.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
