JoyToy decided not to delay betraying the Emperor. Ahead of schedule, it released a 1/18 scale action figure of Erebus, the First Chaplain of the Word Bearers, and also published a new review video unboxing this Architect of Heresy.
The collectible item stands 12.5 cm tall and 8.1 cm wide. The set includes a plasma pistol, interchangeable hands, a stand, a power pack, and the Crux Malefica—an ever-blazing staff adorned with the desecrated remnants of Imperial doctrine that serves as a symbol of Erebus's authority.
A 15% discount is currently available, so the figure can be purchased for $73.94 (6,124 rubles).

Many fans of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: The Horus Heresy fiercely despise Erebus, as he was the primary culprit behind the Horus Heresy and destroyed the Emperor's dream of a bright future for mankind.
It all began with Erebus being a psychopath and an impostor since childhood; he strangled the real boy named Erebus and stole his identity. After becoming a Space Marine, he secretly worshipped the Chaos Gods and spent years corrupting his Primarch Lorgar, nudging him toward betrayal.
The culmination of his schemes was the fall of Horus, the greatest of the Emperor's sons. Erebus stole a cursed blade and orchestrated events so that the Warmaster would be mortally wounded on the planet Davin. Taking advantage of the dying Horus's vulnerability, the Chaplain entered his mind and, using deceitful visions, persuaded him to rebel against his father, sparking the bloodiest civil war in galactic history.
