McFarlane HALO Series 5 Review

Halo Series 5. Equipment addition Part Deuce.

Well here we are again with yet another set of really cool Spartan’s. My reviews are all on Spartans as those are what I collect. I could care less on the bad guys. Other than really poor quality control at McFarlane toys these figures are again really neat. Poor quality control in meaning the figures is in rough shape right out of the package. For instance, Sgt. Johnson’s right arm falls off while he just stands there, Many of the Brute shot weapons break while trying to fit them in the Spartan’s hands and the fames legs and arms of the Spartans some times cant rotate in the joint with out snapping them hence breaking them off the figure….What good is 24 Moving parts if you cant position any of them in fear of breaking the figure?!?!?!?!?

That being said you have a number of exclusives and cool boxed sets. Let’s start with the exclusives,

The Epic Griff Ball Spartan. Any one playing on Line knows this game, First place I got 5 Kills at once.... This figure was a Toys R Us Or Comic Con exclusive.




Then we had the number of Exclusives from individual Stores such as Entertainment Earth.



FYE.

Big Bad Toy Stores.

And Diamond Direct.

Then we had the number of regular released figures. and the first Sgt. Johnson!
Spartan Scout.
Hayabusa. - These are my colors on X Box Live.
and the Clear Spartan.
Lastly we have the Spartan Gear packs and Slayer two pack. I sold the Elite, but kept the gear. here they are.


The Red Armored Gear set. Has armor sets to make four different SPARTANS.

And last but not least the Blue TRU exclusive.
And a shot of the different Packaging offered this go around.


And a Front back of the Hayabusa.
