It&#8217;s emblazoned with the UNSC logo! On the bottom of the stand are a few felt pieces to keep from scuffing up furniture. Printed on the bottom are the Halo logo, trademark info and where it was made.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27605\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand.jpg\" alt=\"dh-unsc-infinity-stand\" width=\"1044\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand-600x322.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-stand-500x268.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1044px) 100vw, 1044px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the Infinity from the side. It&#8217;s got lots of good detail for it&#8217;s size. As you may see, there is a black UNSC logo at the front (left in the pic below) and the text &#8220;UNSC INFINITY&#8221; in white along the side. I do wish the blue glow from the Forerunner parts near the rear engine were distinct. I guess if you really want to, you could paint it though. The prongs sticking out on the top and bottom kind of detract a little from the model. While they are supposed to be there, two on my model were slightly bent.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27606\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail.jpg\" alt=\"dh-unsc-infinity-length-detail\" width=\"1512\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail-768x203.jpg 768w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail-600x159.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-length-detail-500x132.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here you can see the hole in the bottom of the model where the metal pin is inserted to allow for the ship to rest on.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27607\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole.jpg\" alt=\"dh-unsc-infinity-hole\" width=\"1008\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole-768x460.jpg 768w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-hole-500x300.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ugh&#8230;my pin was bent (came ike that). So that is what is atrributing to the list of the ship. I did try carefully to straighten the pin, but didn&#8217;t want to force the issue and possible break the stand.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27608\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front.jpg\" alt=\"dh-unsc-infinity-back-front\" width=\"900\" height=\"741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front.jpg 900w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front-768x632.jpg 768w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front-600x494.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-back-front-364x300.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At 3\/4 side view though, this model looks FANTASTIC! Again, lots of detail in the sculpt.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27609\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-3-4-views.jpg\" alt=\"dh-unsc-infinity-3-4-views\" width=\"716\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-3-4-views.jpg 716w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-3-4-views-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DH-UNSC-Infinity-3-4-views-497x600.jpg 497w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Is it worth it? At the price I paid of $35, yes. $50-60? Hmm, I&#8217;m inclined to say no. More paint detail and a straight metal pin and the prongs comgin from the ship being straight would have likely pushed me to say yes.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, we aren&#8217;t likely to see too many UNSC Infinity models. This may be your only chance. So if you see it and have been wavering on buying it, I do suggest getting it. If anything, it would make a great gift for the fellow Halo fan in your life!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t just\u00a0review toys ya know!
