It's just flabbergasting to me how this line tripped all over its own dick. This could have been the line to topple the long reign of RAH/SW as the best 18th action figure line ever but it just shat its pants from the get-go with ridiculously too many MasterChiefs. No Hunters, no Forerunners, no Brute Choppers, no Cortana figure; all while Halo has (an admittedly derided) show airing.
Lots of people fucked up to get us to today's situation. |

And rubbery, low-quality weapons. How many armory and checkpoint packs remained unsold because the accessories in them were garbage? I know I went light on them. That would not have been the case if the weapons were awesome.
But yeah, Master Chief overload choked this line to death. Literally everything else sold through for single carded figures in my area but stacks of chief remained and were never put on clearance. Very frustrating.

https://shop.jazwares.com/products/h...40746407952457 Pessimistic thoughts: Other than Sgt. Johnson it's all repacks I either already have ("Rookie," spartan Buck, and oh hey look...Master Chief) or do not want (I loathe Locke's armor style and as for the active camo Arbiter...if that's what that is...meh). This will be good for people who missed wave 6 (spartan Buck) and so on, but if it's a 6-figure pack and all I want is Sgt. Johnson that's going to be a definite pass for me. Kinda bummed, but I hope it sells well so they get to something that I can support.

That's not the Rookie (who apparently has a name now; LCpl Jonathan Doherty), it's the Series 5 Halo 3 Campaign ODST.

I'm excited for the pack because I missed out on all of Wave 5. Looks like the MC is a repaint of the W5 version.
It looks like the Deluxe MC is a repaint of the Wave 6 MC. I wonder how much the single figure will be. Any thoughts?

You mean the previously-released single-carded Halo 4/5 Master Chief? You can still find him on shelves up here in Canada.

Fair enough. Whoever he is this time around, I think it's a very poor sculpt and I'm not interested in more of it. It's a shame, too, because I love ODSTs and would have purchased a pile of them if they were done well (and obtainable). Instead I have been building my own for the kids.
