Action Figure - Spartan Soldier Mark VI Armor - Games Review

Halo 3 Series 1 - Spartan Soldier Mark VI Armor (White)

 

This figure has great detailing and is very poseable. At first some of the joints were a little stiff, especially in the ankles and feet. The head, chestplate, and shoulders are removable so they can be swapped with other figures but at times this can be a little frustrating. While trying to pose the figure the shoulder pieces kept falling off the moment my fingers so much as brushed against them. I recommend removing them before attempting to pose the arms.

The assault rifle and grenade the figure comes with can be attached with pegs to a few points on the Spartan, or held in the hands. While the pegs and peg holes hold them well, the hands are another story. I can get the grenade in the left hand for some poses, but it’s better off on the thigh. The rifle is meant to go in the right hand with the left supporting it, but the space between the fingers and thumb on the right hand is so small you need to grab them and force them apart to get the rifle to snap in. Even then the rifle hangs loosely, only held in place by by the spot where the fingers and thumb connect.

I’m just nitpicking now. This is a great toy with a few minor annoyances, but nothing to make me regret buying it. A good addition to any Halo fan’s collection.
