The packaging is quite nice. I like the slim packaging as opposed to the wider ones from series past. For those who collect these carded, it will take up less space for sure, whether you display them or store them.\u00a0Scroll on for the pics and my review of Commander Palmer!<\/p>\n

As stated, this slim packaging is neat and tidy. Palmer is well displayed in the packaging should you choose to keep this carded. If you do remove the plastic bubble, you are greeted with a nice background from the Halo 4 multiplayer map, Haven.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Orthogonal views of the figure. Do her hips seem a tad wide? Not overly so, maybe just a little bit. The sculpt, details, and decals are well done.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

The figure comes with two magnums as well as two small pegs by which to attach to the outsides thighs.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Below shows how to attach a magnum. Simply insert the peg into the hole on the outside of the thigh, then place the magnum on the thinner part of the peg face outward.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

My figure has a lot of ‘wear’ to it. I’m curious if this much ‘blackwash’ was intentional? I’d have preferred it to not be as much. I like my figures to be a little cleaner than this. Still, it’s not a deal breaker.
\n\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that does stand out is that the shoulder armor has a different hue to it than the rest of the armor. From far away it’s not too bad. But up close, which is how I view my figures, it’s a bit glaring.
\n\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Note that Palmer does indeed have all of the her markings on the armor. Very authentic looking.
\n\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Posing is pretty good to. Here Palmer is standing slightly hunched backward as if veering away from a shot fired at her.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

In the shot below, the figure is balanced on one foot and one toe. This is by far an improvement from McFarlane Halo figures in the past, which is much appreciated.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

I definitely\u00a0recommend this figure.\u00a0While I’m not a huge fan of the Palmer character, this makes for an excellent Spartan toy.<\/p>\n

This gets a 9.0 out of 10 from me. The 1 point ding being for a bit too much wash over the figure as well as the shoulder pads having the different hue. Again, they aren’t deal breakers, just a slight draw back from an otherwise stellar figure..<\/p>\n

Price for this ranges between $14-17 depending on where you get it from. I got mine from GameStop.<\/p>\n
