And on with the pics! (Click pics to make BIGGER)
The packaging is the drop pod itself, which is a two-part mold. There is a thin sheath of clear plastic that surrounds the pod to keep it intact while hanging on pegs, while waiting to be bought. I just like how they look like hand grenades! LOL
This pic shows the contents of the pod, as well as the pod separated into it’s respective two pieces. The minifigure does not come assemebled. It takes no time at all to put it together though.
The insert sheet shows all four of the sets.
Finally here is the minifig close-up.
It has a great metallic sheen to it. Note the teeth markings above and below the visor. The blok the fig stands on comes with it and is imprinted with the word “Halo” on it, in Metallic silver ink to match the minifig’s detail color.
Here’s the video review:
Summary: No time needed to build this as it’s just the figure, weapon and its’ stand.
Overall Rating: I give this set 10 out for 10 medals.
For the money, this is a good deal. Consider that the single blind pack minifigs are $3-4, for the same or maybe a dollar more, you get the two-part drop pod. If you’re a fan of ODSTs then these are the sets for you!

I got all 4 of these in the last week of january and I really liked them, although I would have liked the red and blue ODST’s to be a little brighter. Also someone over on Halo Toy news posted a link for the Halo Mega Bloks series 9 blind bags and there’s a pretty good line up including, a active camo skirmisher, orange flame marine, and a purple brute stalker.
Links man! LOL Seriously, a link please.
I picked up this same ODST today just before you posted. I think its fantastic, especially the detail around the visor. Now I just have to decide if I’m going to army build, or get one of each colour and make them squad leaders….
I want these ones to be unique in my collections, so they are going to be Squad leaders.
