The only problem i have with this is take the Gijoe large scale figure, a Bazooka, Resolute Roadblock, Night Adder, ROC Heavy Duty, Bench Press etc. Now those (argueably) are the true 6' figures for the Joe line if not a little more. We're talking a body weight of at least 200lbs in most cases right? When I say the Spartans are out of scale its their proportions even the big Spartans were not anywhere near 300lbs which is what these guys would weigh in AT LEAST compared to a Joes 180-200 or more lbs. The figures presented have arms and thighs the size of Joe torsos sure they're armoured but its not a mech suit they are wearing its body armour. This makes them very stocky 6 inch figures. Sure they got it right with the non-spartan Halo figures but that doesnt mean the big brutes are the right scale, and definetly doesnt mean this equels instant correct Joe scaling. A truer Halo scaled figure in body mass would be a little taller than a MU THOR figure and no larger in mass. Take ROC accelator suit and put it on the Thor figure and you'd have something a lot closer. IMHO.
Not to mention that Duke actually barely comes up to his imaginary nipples if you take him off that base, even the shoulder comment is a stretch

the Hip structure of the Halo figs actually does bug me yes because my Spartan Master Chief keeps breaking his junk off and I glued it back then it fell off the shelf and his hips broke in half, legs torso and head in all directions...btw notice the Joe figure stands give agent Jinx and Duke the height or they would be even more shorter than the Halo figs that don't obviously need stands, hence why my spartan broke in half when falling off the shelf 300 times. (cynical)

That's just the thing.. The master cheif is 6'10" tall and 300 lbs out of his armor.
In the armor he's 7 feet tall and 1000 pounds. Notice that's 700lbs of armor. And it IS power armor. It's not a 'robotic vehicle' but it is power armor. Mjolnir armor is powered armor that apparently weighs in at 700lbs with it's own nuclear power source. So, the blue guy standing beside duke, is as big as big show.. BEFORE he puts on his armor. then add on 700lbs of power armor. They're the right size. It's just discombobulating to think of someone that big and strong. That's why the Spartans are so bad assed.

you should look into Gears of War figures, they are about as cool as Army of Two and the game has an awesome storyline.

And that's also assuming that Helix is 6 feet tall too. Pretty big for a girl who if I remember right is part asian? But yeah Duke and she are on stands, but that doesn't add but maybe 3 or 4 inches to the joes heights. Again I point to just how huge the big show is, next to a 6 foot tall very athlectic wrestler (( Jericho)) And maintain that when you add on 700 lbs of power armor, the bulk and size are dead on.

yeah the stands do give um a smidge of height. but my duke and Jinx were already on stands so I didn't wanna take um off. If you look, Helix is a smidge taller than the 'normal human' female.
