Agree that the sculpt isn't great, but it's also the result of trying to re-use mold pieces to minimize costs. While the figure doesn't appeal to me personally, it's an adequate alternative.
Honestly, I never expected this box set to begin with, as most collectors missed out on at least half of these figures. I'd be happy if they kept this sort of thing up with both Halo and Fortnite. |

On the plus side, I think the only figure that's a straight repack of anything available here is Buck. If 5 out of the 6 figures are "new", that's probably enough for me to spring for it.

Compare those two figures to what's below. I am only focusing on the design on the right-hand side of this image:
https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/ODST_battle_armor I love Landfall and the We Are ODST shorts. They took some liberties and I think the armor in them looks awesome. Even the velco-attached armor pads in their design meld better with the shoulder than what you see on either figure. The Jazwares and Mcfarlane pads look like something you could pry off. There shouldn't be a huge rise above and off of the shoulder like that. A little one, yes, but not much. They should also wrap around and blend into the arm on the front/back of the arm a lot more. These just look "stuck-on" rather than "worn" I guess is what I mean. Jazwares' most of all. Mcfarlane got closer to the source on this one in most respects. Heck, look at the gap between the top of the shoulder armor and the straps on top of the shoulder. The 5" (?) Mcfarlane figure has less gap than this ~3.75" Jazwares figure has. The Jazwares legs look like he's tending goal in the NHL, too. The hip armor flares out like a ruffled skirt. Just...ugh. Quote:
No one's saying that the Jazwares spaulders are good, but there's nothing wrong with their ODST body's arms, not if you want to have any kind of meaningful articulation.
