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.

Just a reminder that the Vault opens tomorrow, 4/24.

$50 for the set isn't too bad either. I guess I'll do it and just deal with the extra Buck.

I pulled the trigger on both the multipack and the MC. Free shipping, 15% off coupon, overall, not too bad.
Has anyone seen the Marine 3 pack at Ross? I checked one today but didn't see much beyond a few Fortnite figures.

How about this? Is this "new" or a re-issue? Although it's a "Vault" figure, it doesn't look familiar to me. (I'm assuming "Vault" doesn't necessarily mean "reissue".)

Hopefully their mentioning means Forerunners are coming soon.
I'd kill for some of the dudes shown with the 'key guns' in the Legends cartoon. Also, I wonder if there's significance to Halo stuff showing up on Jazwares.com instead of WickedCoolToys.com. Hopefully they're pulling the line closer to home alongside the Fortnite team to get their quality-of-build into the line. I wish they had shown the back of the packaging to see if there's any indicia differences. Last edited by Ozymandias13; 04-29-2024 at 08:18 AM.. |
