(More customer reviews)I was excited to find this figure for cheap in a store, after seeing it go for $60 plus online. Like one of my fellow reviewers has perviously stated, the figure looked great in the box. When I opened it however, both arms fell off. I was able to loosely put them back on, but if you touch the figure in the wrong way they fall off. That was my first dissapointments of many.
My first dissapointment was the dual magnums. At first I was excited to see these but after close examination I was dissapointed. The magnums both have pegs on the same side, which means you can't put one magnum on each of his legs (well you can but one will be backwards). I was excited to see a second hole added on the left leg to hang accesories from but with the magnums being identical it is rather pointless. Why couldn't they have put removeable and pegs on the magnums? The second major dissapointment with the magnums is their size. While it is possible to put the magnum in the right hand with ease, the left hand is another story. Promotional pictures show that this figure has two identical hands, with trigger fingers exposed. THIS IS FALSE. The hand sculpts are no different from any other spartan figure (trigger hand, and the cradling hand). The magnum can't fit in the left hand properly because the trigger guard is too small for the hands. At best it looks like the figure is loosely gripping the weapon.
On the positive side, once you can find an action pose he won't fall apart in, this is a sharp looking figure. The paint job on mine was a bit lacking but the figure still looks great regardless. The extra hole on the left leg is something that would be great to see on future figures.
In short this figure is not worth the high dollar value charged for it online. I was lucky I found it at a retail store, for retail price, and if it wasn't for that I would have been thoroughly frustrated. I wish I would have kept it packaged. Unless you are die-hard Halo fan who covets this figure as much as the armor in the game, I would be wary to buy this figure.
