 Might stop buying McFarlane figuresOct 25, 2009
By Stephen Watts
Let me start by saying I'm 26 and a collector of stuff I like. I buy figures, open them, pose them, and set them on display. I do not play with them or handle them much. That said, this is easily the cheapest figure I have ever owned. I read reviews before I purchased it, but figured the bad reviews came mostly from parents who bought it for their children. I was wrong. As I removed the figure from the plastic package, the shoulderpads fell off. Poorly fit. I cut off some flashing that had been left on and they fit better but would still fall off if the figure was held upside down. The joints were all stuck except for the head and elbows, all of which are extremely loose. Using a set of pliers I was carefully able to break the seals holding the stuck joints in place, however one of the legs still will not move and if I twist it any more I'm sure it will break off the ball joint. When I twisted the upper torso slightly, it came off. The ball joint holding it on also had some excess flashing that needed to be removed, but the whole figure will pull in half with minimal force or if I twist it slightly. The right hand fingers were molded to the thumb, making it impossible to hold the gun. I cut them apart and it fits now. I own 4 other McFarlane figures currently from the Halo series and have owned several Spawn ones in the past. All of them were of much more solid craftsmanship. This figure is so cheap that I actually decided to write a review to warn other potential buyers, a first for me. I will say that the likeness of the figure to the character is great and paint job is on par with the rest of the series. You might be happy with the figure if you plan to leave it in it's original packaging. If not, beware and be prepared with a tube of superglue.

Extreme disapointmentNov 19, 2009
By A. Braun
As others have commented, leave it in the box! Upon removing from the box, the arm fell off, the armor fell off, and the legs can't move. I worked with it for a while and was able to get most of this moving and back together without to much work. You cannot pose the arms very well. The right hand has to be opened and stretched to hold the weapon. And do not for any reason think that a child can actually play with this. Like others, mine is on display only. It's very frustrating as this is my first purchase of the line of figures and I am extremely reluctant to consider making a second purchase.
All that said, the paint and detail on the figure is truly great. Still, it just seems like a half ass job.

ODST SoldierNov 11, 2009
By D. Rodriguez
I bought this for my 10 year old son, who has many Halo figures. The minute we took it out of the package, the arms tore apart, and would not hold back together. It is poorly made. Pieces were just falling apart and we couldn't put them back because they wouldn't stay in place. My son's reaction was, "Wow,this is cheap." I would not recommend it to anyone who plays with action figures, or collectables. The other Halo action figures, and collector's items that my son has were not 'cheap' like this one.

McFarlane's Quality Gone DownhillNov 25, 2009
By Tsuba5
I got this item for my 12 yr. old daughter. She has been collecting Halo figures for years and must have a dozen+. I picked this up at our local Toys-r-Us along with some other Halo figures and this one was by far the WORST. All the joints were locked up and the shoulder armor immediately popped off. The fingers were so poorly molded that it was nearly impossible to fit the weapon. No sooner do I get the gun in his hand and hand it back to her for inspection, the arm snaps off. We were aghast! Not only that, this figure is slightly smaller than the Spartans and we joked that maybe the Rookie gets fed less. At least we got a laugh out of the experience. I took it back and was glad that I didn't save it for Christmas. I'm even more happy about the fact that I paid $11.99 for it because I see it now on Amazon for nearly twice as much. I also took back the Mongoose with Mark IV because his elbow kept swinging a 360.

Have to agree- lousy constructionNov 09, 2009
By lynn del sol

This toy arrived with the fingers of its right hand glued together. When we separated them, it became apparent the right arm does not bend at the elbow (it's articulated, but the body armor prevents the arm from bending) - a major flaw when it comes time to blast away with the rifle!
From examining the figure, I believe the arm may have been assembled backwards at the factory - the armor appears reversed compared to the left arm (where the flap is in back of the elbow, not at the bend). However, the figure in the picture has a straight arm, so maybe this is just bad design.
6" action figures typically have a short life expectancy around our house - we have baskets full of mutilated soldiers. But this is the first one we've gotten that's been unplayable right out of the box.
