McFarlane Toys Action Figure - Halo Series 8 - UNSC MARINE

I recently received this product (just for the record I applaud the seller's speed of deliver, less than 3 days) and it is a rather nice figure. The paint on the marine is excellent, I hardly see any mistakes or blotches. He comes with two weapons, a battle rifle and a pistol. Some cool features I saw on this marine were the ability to attach the pistol to his leg (similar to the Sgt. Johnson figure) and the back-pack on his, well, back.Some drawbacks I had with this figure could only possibly be the limitations of his arm joints. It is rather difficult, if near impossible, to allow the marine to hold the battle rifle properly since niether of his arms can bend to the side. Of course, since I have seen this before I simply "mod" the arms so they can bend in a position in which he can hold the battle rifle with both hands. However, some buyers may not know how to mod the arms while others like me do not wish to mod the arms, but have to in order to have him holding the gun. The only guns he could hold if the arms are not modded would be single-handed weapons, such as his pistol or other weapons like the SMG or plasma pistol.I'd also watch out for the wrist joints. I've had people tell me they are not the best joints created but so far nothing has broken with my marine. I guess it's just luck for now. As long as you treat the figure gently you shouldn't have a problem with joints snapping.Overall I would rate this figure a 3 out of 5, simply due to the arm restrictions and wrist joints. But definitely a must buy for a Halo collector since this is the only type of marine Todd McFarlane has made for the Halo 3 line-up. It's just one of those rare figures a collector needs to have for the Halo series.-AW Merc.

Breaks easily. Piece of Junk.

I cannot believe you charged me $25 for this small toy. This was not worth $25 it was worth more like $7.99 like I would have paid at Target or WalMart. You are ripping people off by charging this much money for these toys. I thought this was some special toy that is why it was $25. My grandson had put this on his wishlist for last year and I didn't get it so I ordered it for this Christmas and was extremely disappointed with the price once I saw how small it was. You should be ashamed of yourself for charging people that much money. It is a travesty!!!! YOu should refund at least $10 of my money so I won't write another review about it. Shame on you!! Bonnie

Sculpt is extremely nice. Articulation is ok, great for pistol poses, arms can't turn to hold the rifle in both hands. Sturdier than many of the mcfarlane halos my kids have.The elbow on mine is painted in place, can't seem to get it to loosen up without breaking the arm. Overall, a really good looking figure though.

This figure is a good addtion to any Halo fans collection, and I would recomend this figure to anyone who likes the game.
