Mc farlane HALO Series 7. Plus the Send Away Active camo Recon!

Series 7!!!!
I figure if I blab enough about how crappy the quality control is at McFarlane on their figures some one will read this from there and fix it. It also doesn't help they closed their replacement parts division of their website at spawn.com. Out of the package I noticed one the side of a sniper rifle for the Blue Scout one of the bi pods was completely not there..... And on the Game Stop Exclusive Spartan, out of the package the Rocket launcher handle broke right off.... UGHHHHH

Yet again though we have a really great looking wave of Spartans..... LOOKING being the key, these are not to be played with folks.... Unless you want broken parts all over. Above is the scale difference of the characters. I commend McFarlane for this detail. The chick is shorter than the Guy, the guy is shorter than the Spartan. And it looks cool.

Another change is the design of the figures seems different. The newer molds have a better joint system I think, and the choice to do not just HALO 3 figures but other HALO games is a great one!

Also below is the last of the send aways the Active Camo Recon trooper. I do realize they made the all Gold Spartan, but really? Do we need it? No... I don't. Enjoy Series 7!!!!

Active camo RECON - You can't see him!


The Epic Orange TRU exclusive Spartan.



The Game Stop Exclusive Spartan.



The Blue Scout Spartan.


Two new molds. Sgt. Forge.



And from ODST Dare, the only female figure (other than Cortana)


Also the cool back of the cards so you can see the enemies created.


And the two pack featuring from HALO Wars Red Leader. We caught a glimpse of this figure on the card back of Series 6!





And IMHO The coolest figure in this set. What I do wish McFarlane would do with these multi parts sets is also give us the chance to maybe buy on line base line bodies for the extra parts. Just a suggestion!
