HALO Mini's McFarlane.

Well they have a series two coming out, and I wont be buying them. So this will be the first and last review on these things. I was highly disappointed. And was looking forward to this collection. I have every Joyride studios mini made, and think they are fantastic, Pose able, have vehicles. SO when I got the three exclusive controllers with the Mcfarlane minis, I thought, Nice here is a chance to snag more troops in the same some what height range, and even though not very pose able, a really cool add on to some sick dioramas I may build one day.

WRONG.

Please see below the image of the Olive Drab Master chief controller packed figure (with the HALO 360 Good guys controller) Behind is the Joyride studios trooper one of the last before they lost the HALO License, and then the NEW Blue armored McFarlane mini's......


As you can see, none are compatible in size, not even McFarlanes Green and blue mini's. So this brings McFarlanes Halo figure line to not one, not two, Not even three, but, FIVE different Sized series to collect.... ENOUGH. I am just sticking with the six inchers. Not only are the new mini halo figs not compatible with any Joy ride vehicles or even McFarlanes own Controller mini's, but the figures barely stand up on a shelf with even the stands they come with. SAD. barely possable and barely able to stand on their own unless leaned against something, it is a depressing line. And I do not recommend them. Which is tough to say because I LOVE Mcfarlane toys, but these look rushed, and crappy. Nothing like the ones they produced in the past. But here we go below with Series 1. I wont be snagging any of the others unless they are white with swords. :)


Red Team.


Blue team.


Multi player.


And the controller variants. A Black one came with the Covenant controller along with an OD both with Shot guns. these unlike the new Mini's were Top Notch!!!!! Just wish Mc Farlnae could of at least staid with these sizes and sculpts....
