My kids and I don't have any connection to whatever Halo game these newer marine designs came from so we got our fill of those pretty quickly. We have a squad of goofy goatee marine clones, but some variety would have been nice.
But for me, I think hunters...why no hunters? Those would have sold two by two. They're the only "main" class of covenant we never got (only the winged bug things come to mind as other covenant that weren't released and those never featured as prominently as hunters). EDIT: Engineers too, I guess.
We never saw the magnum released either. All those masterchief releases and they never popped a pistol in there to entice a purchase? The checkpoint and armory sets...no pistols?
Give me a banshee, wraith, scorpion, hunters, and then the noble team and alpha 9 team (if they fixed the crappy ODST sculpt) and I think we could have found a happy breaking point for the line. There is always more to want, but that would have covered a lot of foundational and core story aspects reasonably well.
Still, I'm glad we got as much as we did. I had been waiting a decade for 1/18 halo by the time they announced these.
Yes to all of this, especially the hunters. I've been looking for the MacFarlane figures but they're about $85+ each these days. I remember a batch of preorders that showed up on Amazon and I had hoped those were going to be more vehicles.
One more gripe - the Jazwares Vault "opened" today and I was really disappointed (but not surprised) that there wasn't any Halo, even after some indicators that there would be.
But on the positive side, I was very happy to get these guys in 1/18th as well. I had always wanted figures that would match my preferred scale and felt the MacFarlane figures were too large. I felt like the SpruKits were close but these guys were perfect.
