 No Grenade Included! April 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The figure looks great and has many movable joints. The paint job uses sort of a metallic green with paint flecks that really feels authentic. The visor looks good, but it's not reflective like it should be (like halo 1 figures were). The figure is a bit smaller then I expected (about half the size of halo 1 figures). The figure does not come with a grenade as advertised which is a bit of a disappointment and would definitely increase the fun level of this toy and it would have been a simple thing to include. I wonder if there are a few crates of tiny grenades sitting in a warehouse somewhere? I think even if it did have the grenade its still sort of an incomplete package without a second weapon which would take it to the next level. My final review score is low mostly because there was no grenade included even though it clearly says so on the box.
 halo April 18, 2008
I purchased the Halo figure for my teen drawing class. It is excellent proportionally and an interesting subject for the kids to draw. Full articulation lends itself to varied vantage points and added "energy" to a pose. Would like a little larger sized figure and one that doesn't feel fragile...I suspect that the compromise would be for the details and articulations...so overall I would take the details/articulations over the sturdiness.
Master Chief is cool April 5, 2008
I bought this item for collection purposes only. I do not intend to open the product to play with it, but I can say that the detail is awesome, which is to be expected from all McFarlane toys. The only grip that I have is that it is shown, on the packaging and in pictures all over promoting this figure, having a grenade. And as far as I can tell, not one of Master Chief's figures have one. But overall, I would recommend it to any Halo fan or video game figures collector.
 happy meal size March 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
like you have read before, there is no grenade. I was a little disappointed but i'll live. its just a toy, get over it.
One thing that I was greatly disappointed with is the scale that the Master Chief and the rest of the mcfarlane halo 3 series toys. They do not match the size of the halo 2 toys from Rc2 and racing champions.
So if you have the halo 2 spartans and covenant action figures, then don't bother adding these midget mcfarlane toys on the same shelf. frankly it would look just weird. Like a happy meal toy with a G.I. Joe, it simply does not work.
But with that said, this toy does have its perks. 18 points of articulation works great. the figure is very stable, unlike the larger halo 2 series. And (for you nerds like me) smaller toys take up less shelf space.
Very good figure! A couple of little issues. March 16, 2008
Got the figure and as has been reported in other reviews there is no grenade packed in with the MC Series 1 figure. Now, I am not going to say the I feel robbed, but I think it is a mistake that was made during production. The grenade is pictured, and it'd be nice to see them come up with some way to get the thing. The other small issue I have is with the articulation. I'm glad that the figure is as articulated as it is, but the joints are in kind of strange places and some are quite stiff. Plus, is seems a little strange that MC's foot twists in the middle.
Those are my only issues, I really like the level of detail and the figure does seem fairly durable. Overall, a nice figure and I'll be buying more in the series. I have some of the other Halo collectibles and I would say that this is every bit as good as the Joyride toys (if not better).
