Do not mistake this for the Fred Blue Team Spartan figure. While it’s the same sculpt, the color makes it very different.\"McF
\nAs always, McFarlane’s presentation is spot on. No guessing as to what is in the package.\"McF
\nYou get a DMR and Magnum with the figure. As you can see above, they each have pins inserted into them. This is for attaching to the figure as you will see.\"McF
\nI’ve learned my lesson from previous figures to not try to put the DMR into the figure’s nearly closed right hand. Above the DMR is resting against the figure while having the left hand hold the weight of it. Note the Magnum attached at the thigh.\"McF
\nA closeup of the the thigh area where you attach the magnum to. A permanent hole is there for the pin to be inserted.\u00a0\"McF
\nThe Spartan is loading his magnum and getting ready to take out some covies! Lots of detail here in the sculpt.Not too much variation in paint, though its a solid deco. I do like that attention to detail was paid to the glove. Note the teal color bits there.\"McF
\nOn the back a hole centered between the thrusters is for the DMR to be attached to. Again, look at that level of detail with the figure. I’m going to miss McFarlane’s Halo figures for this point alone.\"McF
\nA close-up of the head and shoulder. One of the only points I didn’t like was that the joints are not so well hidden. But I wouldn’t trade that for the amount of articulation they bring!
\n\"McF
\nSaid articulation in full effect! Is this Spartan dancing to a beat? LOL<\/p>\n

Evaluation<\/strong><\/span>
\nSculpt:\u00a0<\/strong>There is no way I can fault any of the sculpt here. It’s fantastic! 10 of 10 medals!
\nArticulation:\u00a0<\/strong>This figure has articulation that has become\u00a0pretty standard with McFarlane Halo figures. Hip articulation is limited. 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>The paint here is good. I however am not a fan of this particular color. But that’s me though. 9\u00a0of 10 medals.
\nAccessories:\u00a0<\/strong>A DMR and a Magnum. Not that much to comment about. Not much paint detail on either 9 out of 10 medals
\nPlayability:<\/strong>\u00a0Standard playability. It can be pose in many\u00a0positions. 10 of 10 medals.
\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>46.5 medals out of a total 50 medals.<\/p>\n

This figure is good. Fix the hip articulation and maybe a power weapon for the variant and this fig would have got a perfect 50 or 50.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend this product?\u00a0Yes. As one of the last of the McFarlane Halo action figures, I definitely suggest picking it up.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
