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.

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.

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.

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).

This product definately lived up to my expectations. It looks good, it moves (something many mcfarlane toys don't or are limited to), and is very nice to display in various poses. The toy however does seem a bit fragile and probably not meant to be played with. I stopped playing with toys long ago, so I don't really care, but I can imagine all these young children taking it out, ready to play some awesome mastercheif action only to have the toy disintegrate limb by limb by just the everyday wears and tears of average child's play! These toys are geared towards children and that is why they are designed to move and pose. Defiantely as well made as the other Halo toys that have been in production, but they definately look alot better!
I was also very disappointed that the picture shows a grenade attached to master chief's leg, the box even states that a grenade is included, yet all we get is an assault rifle and a little black peg with no instructions on how you use such peg. However if you look on Master Chief's back and legs, there are holes to put the peg in. These pegs are so that MC can put his weapon on his back and maybe a grenade on his thigh.... except we only get one peg, and ZERO grenades! What is this?!?!?! False advertisement! The packaging states that the grenades are included! So now my master chief sits on the shelf holding a rifle in his hand, and with a black peg sticking out of his back... since I didn't want to lose the peg, and also since the peg stick out of his leg looks really stupid! This is my biggest complaint! I cant believe that they let this problem happen! It says on the package "includes grenades". Well I don't see A grenade... let alone this so called "grenades" business! Major disappointment especially from a toy company like McFarlane who's whole infrastructure is based on pure quality!
Well enough of that. Lets say I will let them slide on that one fact.... just barely! But only because the toy is very nice looking, it poses (not easily mind you), but it still poses and looks great on my shelf where it is meant to be! I like this product overall, and recommend it, but looks like series 2 will be the same chief, but with 2 guns and grenades! So maybe its better to wait. Hopefully they will release the grenades next time! I think I am going to get Cortana next! Also accessory packs would be nice that include different weapons and GRENADES!
