The Crawler is one of the new enemy types found in Halo 4. I’ve given it the nickname of “Didact Dog.” I love the design of this character from the game. So I was excited to see it in toy form. Read on to see if that excitement continued!

This figure is fantastic. The sculpt is ridiculously good. The articulation is hidden well, except possibly for the mouth, though that is to be understood if you want that kind of articulation. (And I certainly do!)

The Crawler has the following points of articulation:

Head-Ball Joint
Jaws-Swivel
Shoulders- front are swivel, back are DOUBLE-ball joints!
Knees-No front knee articulation, back have limited swivel joints
Ankles-swivel

As you can see from the pics above the figure has a fair good amount of articulation. I’m VERY happy with the outcome of the toy and can’t wait for the other two versions of the Crawler, especially the “Prime” or Alpha Crawler. The hardlight spikes coming out of this figure will look SICK! (And I mean that in a good way)

So should you get this? I say hell yeah! Even without accessories, the sculpt and poseability totally make up for that. Knowing that we’re likely to see the other two variations makes me happy and wanting more!

This figure can be found in the slender Gamestop packaging, the normal large card at big retailers as well as in both the Target and Toys R Us 4-pack boxed set.

If I could get more of this figure I would….darn being strapped for cash.  🙁  It’s an army builder for sure.

I give it 9.5 out of 10 medals.
