\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are all of the figures from this series, with the ones on the bottom being the exclusive ones for certain retailers.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Green HULK<\/strong><\/span>ing spartan in orthogonal views.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

As with the others I’ve reviewed from the Halo 5 Guardians series 1 figures, there is good articulation. But for the hip articulation which is limited, it can be put in some cool poses.\"McF<\/a>\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some detail shots. This figure as you can see has mostly green and black paint. Pretty much the only other paint colors are the visor’s gold and the shark blue color on the under armor.\"McF<\/a>\"McF<\/a>\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Evaluation<\/strong><\/span>
\nSculpt:\u00a0<\/strong>Excellent\u00a0sculpt. McFarlane does\u00a0gets\u00a0the digital files direct from 343 to use for the sculpt. Still, this looks pretty spot on. 10 of 10 medals!
\nArticulation:\u00a0<\/strong>This figure has some good\u00a0articulation to it. As mentioned here and with the other H5G s-1 figs, just the hip articulation holds this back from being superb.. You can’t quite get it to pose in some natural human poses. (This has remained consistent through the first of the Halo 5 Guardians figures) 9.5\u00a0out of 10 medals
\nPaint Application:\u00a0<\/strong>For having only two main colors, there is a good amount of detail in the paint application. Weathering is decent too. Lived in but not worn out. 10 of 10 medals.
\nAccessories:\u00a0<\/strong>With a Battle Rifle that can easily fit in the figures hands as well as be stowed on it’s back and a magnum that has similar qualitited, I give this a thumbs up!\u00a0Maybe just a little too weathered is all.\u00a09\u00a0out of 10 medals
\nPlayability:\u00a0<\/strong>Since this is a mutlplayer Spartan, it depends on what you’re using it for. To reenact anything from the campaign, this fig won’t help as much. But to recreate a play in matchmaking, this is a good choice. 8 of 10.
\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>46.5 medals out of a total 50 medals.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend this product?\u00a0Yes!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
