I'm very dissapointed with McFarlanes Smaller Halo figures the 6" scale or whatever they are..
They look great but the articulation just is ass. I bought 3 sets of the Mongoose w/ rider figures, and then bought an extra master chief with rocket launcher to ride shotgun.. and I will say.. BOOOO.. They look better in the package.. The mongoose is really cool.. but the stand that the rear rider is supposed to ride on.. broke off when I barely put a figure on the back. The actual drivers DONT fint on the mongoose.. Their legs dont bend well enough for them to actually SIT.. Im going to post pictures on my flickr in about an hour. The master cheif with rocket launch cant actually HOLD IT. The grips arent designed for the hands to find in or around them.. and the grip piece under the rocket laucher has broken part way off.. Now look.. if I was 10.. I would say I might have been a little rough with my toys... but im not.. I almost NEVER open any of my figures and I am very careful with what I do open for display purposes.. but what the hell.. as much damage that has happened with these 2 items they would have been destroied as a kid.. I mean I was never ROUGH with my stuff.. but I was a kid stuff got smacked against each other and PLAYED WITH.. these things cant even be displayed let alone PLAYED WITH... grumble. |

Yeah, they're crap. When I bought ODST, I got a free rookie figure. I opened him up, in trying to get him posed right, his left arm separated at the bicep. As I was moving the wrist to put the SMG in his hand, I actually broke the hand clean off. I went back and exchanged the figure for another and just left it unopened. These look great in box but with all of their quoted "XX points of articulation", but have only a few degrees of motion per point. I too picked up the mongoose, broke off the passenger foot plate and had the same seating issues for the figure. You've got to put the feet on the front foot rests. The swing out rests are totally useless as the figure is looking down at the ground and looks like they're riding a horse.

Yeah...just based on my experiences with their early stuff, I've been afraid of stuff with more articulation ans smaller parts.
How about the 12" HALO figures? Half of the ones on the shelf seem to be missing fingers. |

Thanks for the heads-up. I had heard elsewhere that these figures sucked, but I didn't know the extent. I will continue to pass on these.

The QC of Todd McFarlane Productions in general seems to have gone this way. I've heard plenty of problems with the rookie like yours on the Spawn boards, and to be frank, they really messed up with the Launcher, though the problem with the 'Goose is news to me.

The Spartans have great articulation but the ODST guys? NO. THe ODST's look cool but can't move anywhere near as well.
