As usual with these slim cases, the figure is very well display and takes up most of the space within.

Within the package you get Kelly, her shotgun, a magnum and a REQ Pack code.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Orthogonal views of Kelly\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Where and how to stow the weapons”\"McF<\/a>\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Some close-ups of the paint application:<\/p>\n

McFarlane Toys did a really good job here by adding small details like the thin line.\u00a0\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

As well, the markings on the forearm and detail on the thigh.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Weathering is most prominent. Again, more of the gold stripe markings.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at a few poses.<\/p>\n

Kelly can hold the Magnum with two hands.\u00a0\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Staring down the barrel!
\n\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

This shows that she can also hold the shotfun two-handed as well.\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

A little more zoomed out.\u00a0\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Evaluation<\/strong><\/span>
\nSculpt:\u00a0<\/strong>Exceptional!\u00a0But I expect nothing less from McFarlane as they do get the digital files direct from 343 to use for the sculpt. 10 of 10 medals!
\nArticulation:\u00a0<\/strong>Good\u00a0articulation to it. With smaller shoulder armor, she has slightly more articulation in the arms.\u00a0The H5G s-1 figs have one drawback with articulation, that being \u00a0the hips. Posing, in some natural human poses, can be difficult. (This has remained consistent through the first of the Halo 5 Guardians figures) 8.5\u00a0out of 10 medals
\nPaint Application:\u00a0<\/strong>Kelly’s armor is nearly all gunmetal grey with exception to those gold markings as noted above. Weathering is very good. She definitely looks like she’s seen more than her share of battles. 10 of 10 medals.
\nAccessories:\u00a0<\/strong>The number one thing that stands out here is Kelly’s shotgun. McFarlane Toys could have cheated out and just given us a regular shotgun. HOWEVER, they didn’t! Instead we have a wonderfully detailed Legendary shotgun! The rabbit stems from Kelly’s nickname as she’s the fasted spartan. 10 out of 10 medals
\nPlayability:\u00a0<\/strong>Another of Blue team, she certainly is worth the posing and playability. If you’re getting Fred and Chief, you MUST get Kelly (and eventually Linda) 10 of 10 medals.
\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>48.5 medals out of a total 50 medals.<\/p>\n

This figure really is that good. Oh but for the hip articulation, it would have received 50 of 50!!<\/p>\n

Do I recommend this product?\u00a0MOST Definitely! <\/span><\/span><\/strong>As mentioned above, if you’re getting Fred and Chief, then getting Kelly is a must as well!!<\/p>\n
