McFarlane HALO Series 6!

What can I say; McFarlane has one of the worst WORST Quality control in the toy business…. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve collected McFarlane figures sense day 1. But they need to get their crap together or I am DONE with collecting their figures. Why am I so angry……? Well for starters three figures from this new series had their legs not all the way placed on the figure. See the pictures below of the AMAZON Exclusive Haybusa green figure, Not only did his arm fall off out of the package but his left was not all the way fixed at the knee joint, nor can it be as it wasn’t properly fitted to the whole on the leg… JUNK. And it was like this with two other figures in this series for me….. It’s kind of pathetic…. And luckily I set them up for display and super glue does the trick but god forbid a kid wanted to play with these…..


JUNK.

Needless to say McFarlane once again created a fantastic ‘LOOKING’ line of Spartans. They also created the Mongoose, one of my favorite vehicles in the game series. Each comes with a Un Armed Spartan but with the release of the weapons packs you can arm the heck out of them. We can all wish for a Warthog but until that day I will take the Mongoose instead of nothing! Enjoy series Six!!!

E.B. Games exclusive Recon!!! Notice this series comes with nifty achievement Shields!

Toy's R Us had the Orange CQB exclusive with Shot Gun!!



Then we had the Walmart Exclusive EVA!

And the famed and junky Amazon.com exclusive.

And located anywhere you could find them, The Blue Eva and White Recon Troops!


Also a cool note, two variant ODST troops. One was given away with the game, the other found very sparsely around town.
The give away.

The Keaper.


Also the back of the packages show a figure from the HALO wars game, have no fear he is due to be released in March of this year.



MONGOOSE MADNESS.
TRU Exclusive.


The Orange Fighter!




And Lastly the Turquoise EOD.
