Found the series 1 Halo 3 figures at Wallyworld today.
I haven't touched McToys in ages because of the absolutely abysmal quality, non-existant articulation and sleazy sculpts generally with one big boot. Oh, yeah and the overdone paint washes that make the figures look like they were dropped in a mud puddle.
So, I was very pleasantly surprised (okay shocked) by the quality of the Halo figures. Gone is the brittle oily plastic (not a single figure broke when I took them out of the package) and total lack of articulation. All but Cortana are very well articulated. Cortana's light up base is nice, but I am honestly ticked she didn't get the articulation the other figures did.
Master Chief has 18 points of articulation and it is real actual usable articulation. Not the usual you can rotate a figure's neck or foot a couple of centimeters McToys has been trying to pass off as articulation for the past decade. I know, I am shocked too! The Brute Chieftain has 15 points, The Grunts have 14 points and Jackal Sniper has 16 points of articulation.
It's nice to see McFarlane toys can still make mass market quality real toys with actual articulation when they put their minds to it.
