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

Here is the first Toy review from HFFL for Halo 4 McFarlane Action Figures!<\/p>\n

This boxed set includes the new style Master Chief, a Blue “Soldier” Spartan IV, Zealot Elite, and Storm Grunt.
\nWeapons included are: Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Energy Sword, Plasma Pistol<\/p>\n

Each figure has the standard articulation:
\n\u2022 \u00a0Ball Joint Head
\n\u2022 \u00a0Ball Joint Shoulders
\n\u2022 \u00a02-part swivel Elbows
\n\u2022 \u00a0Ball joint wrists (except Grunt)
\n\u2022 \u00a0Limited Ball joint Torso
\n\u2022 \u00a0Ball Joint Hips
\n\u2022 \u00a02-part swivel Knees
\n\u2022 \u00a0Ball Joint Feet (except Grunt)<\/p>\n

The Pros and Cons:<\/strong>
\nPros:<\/strong>\u00a0Great value for the set and a way to get three of the figures that are also on single card. The only one different is the Spartan IV. In this set it’s blue, the single carded fig is red. the sculpts are excellent as always.
\nCons:<\/strong>\u00a0Not really any cons to this set. The redesign of the characters is due to 343 and not McFarlane. So whether you like the look or not, McFarlane in not to be credited.<\/p>\n

And now for the pics:<\/p>\n

Great detail, though mine had just a bit too much silver paint on the helmet for my liking.<\/p>\n

The grunt detailing is fantastic, though I’m not a fan of the redesign. I’m sur eit will grow on me though. Just take a look at the size of McFarlane grunts. The Halo 4 version sure is beefier than the Halo 3 version. Look at that Grunt bummer! LOL.<\/p>\n

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

Once again, McFarlane nails the sculpt. This elite looks more monstrous and scary than any previous iteration. I love the color. The stunted mandibles with the head remind me more of the Rancor from Star Wars than the traditional Elite. The range in size from Halo 3 to Reach to Halo 4 is huge. The Halo 3 Elite looks puny, while the Reach Elite just looks like a slightly smaller brother. I’m liking this scale size, even if it doesn’t fit with the Halo 3 style figs.<\/p>\n

I definitely recommend getting this set. It’s worth it and can save you from multiple purchases form the single carded figures if you’re not looking to repeat figures in your collection.<\/p>\n
