Toy Review: McFarlane Halo Anniversary Series 2 Mickey (ODST) not the mouse…

Here is my review of Mickey, the latest addition to the ODST squad from Halo 3: ODST. Mickey comes with his Rocket Launcherand the body of the bird part of the UNSC emblem.

The figure has the standard (which is to say excellent) articulation for a Halo human figure:
•  Ball Joint Head
•  Ball Joint Shoulders
•  2-part swivel Elbows
•  Ball joint wrists
•  Limited Ball joint Torso
•  Ball Joint Hips
•  2-part swivel Knees
•  Ball Joint Feet

The Pros and Cons:
Pros: It’s an extremely detailed figure. Lots of great sculpting went into this figure and it shows. The paint was good and the printed “Mickey” and “ODST” on the chest show particular attention to detail.
Cons: As with some of the other figures in this wave, Mickey can’t quite hold his weapon as intended. Not without much work that you may give up and choosing the “good enough” option. On mine his left shoulder armor came off. It didn’t appear to have any glue holding it on. Thankfully it’s a big enough piece not to loose so easily. Still, things like this shouldn’t happen.

And now for the pics:

The detail is awesome. Note below the sculpting and the printed parts. The backpack features some of the tiniest print of any McF Halo figure to date.

Whiloe there were a couple of minor things that could have been improved on, overall this is an amazing figure.

Whether you like ODSTs, or the specific squad from the game, this is a must figure to have. It’s my second favorite of this wave and is a very welcome addition to the collection.

Two more individual figs and two boxed set reviews still to come.
