Halo 3 Series 2 Review Pt 1

Halo 3 Series 2 Review Pt 2

Halo 3 Action Figure Series 2 have now reached stores and the feedback is the trade is brisk and stock is clearing off the shelves as quick as they can be stacked.

Many collectors and gamers will be pleased to note that with these Halo 3 Action Figure McFarlane's have listened to collectors and fans who have long been asking for more articulation on their figures.

This series of Halo 3 Action Figure is by far the most articulated that McFarlane's have done and the results, from what I can tell so far, are excellent and it seems that everyone agrees.

McFarlane has added the extra articulation without sacrificing their usual high standards of detail and quality.

But be warned, collecting this lot could be expensive as there are several different versions of the Spartan with different Armor and different colors available, see below for further details.

The Halo 3 Action Figure Series 2 line includes:

• Master Chief
• Spartan
• ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers)
• Brute Stalker
• Drone
• The Arbiter

The Master Chief is said to be the last surviving Spartan Soldier who has thus far, through a mix of luck and skill, survived the destruction of two Halo installations and numerous battles.

Seen by many as a hero and symbol of hope for humanity against the forces of the Covenant who are edging closer to the end of their "final journey" The Master Chief again seems himself having to take up the fight against humanities enemies.

Now, with the Covenant forces edging ever closer to their hallowed, and cataclysmic "final journey," it once again falls upon the Chief's mighty shoulders to take the fight to his enemies.

With weapons that will attach to his leg and back the Master Cief stands ready for combat.

McFarlane Toys' Master Chief's weapons can attach to his leg and back, and also feature:

Figure Specs

• Stands 5 inches tall.
• Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
• Includes Spartan laser and grenade.

Halo 3 Series 2 ODST Action Figure

Those of you who are either fans of Halo or Gamers will need no introduction to ODST but for those of you who, like me, are new to all this ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.

Who are the ODST?

They are an unique team of elite United Nations Space Command (UNSC) special forces troops.

This elite team of volinteers consists of the UNSC's bravest men and women who have fought bravely and valiantly against the advancing armies of the Covenant against all odds.

The ODSC were especially valiant in the defence of the defence of the first two Halo Installations and are now being called upon to help protect humanity again and the defence of the third Halo installation.

Figure Specs:

• Figure stands 4 3/4 inches at top of head.
• Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles.
• Includes battle rifle.

Halo 3 Series 2 Brute Stalker Action Figure

The Brute Stalker is feared across the Galaxy and is a formidable hunter. Using light bending technolgy, known as active camoflage, the Brute Stalker is invisible to all but those with the keenest eyes and senses.

With this ability they can sneak up on their unexpecting prey before unleashing their destruction and power on their enemies.

Watch your back and your surroundings carefully for you never know when he may be near and you have become the hunted.

Figure Specs:

• Stands 6 1/2 inches tall.
• Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, hips, knees and ankles.
• Includes Spike rifle and removable helmet.

Halo 3 Series 2 Drone Action Figure

The Drones are an insect like warrior that attacks in swarms. Also known as "buggers" amongst humanity, because of their insect like appearance, the Drones are another weapon in the fearsome arsenal of the Covenant forces.

The only warning of their apporoach is the static sound of their wings buzzing.

Ferious combatants in battle the Drones ability to fly erracticly and attack from any angle not only makes them a fearsome opponent but a difficult target to hit as well.

The Drones are one of the best looking action figures in this series in my opinion and will look awesome in any collection, each figure has:

Figure Specs:

• Figure measures 5 inches at top of head.
• Top wingspan measures 7 inches wide (both sets of wings pivot up and down).
• Articulated at shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles.
• Includes plasma pistol.

Halo 3 Series 2 Arbiter Action Figure

Once a High Commander of the Elites the Arbiter lost the honor among the Prphets after he failed to protect the first Halo.

Now disillusioned by the war and the Covenants reasons for their fight against humanity the Arbiter again leads the Elites when they align with the UNSC.

A former foe of the Master Chief he now prepares to finish the fight with the Spartan soldier against the Covenant and the threat of the Flood.

McFarlane Toys now bring the Arbiter to life with this incredible, highly detailed action figure.

Armed with an energy sword and carbine rifle he is locked and loaded for battle.

Figure Specs:

• Measures 5 1/8 inches at top of head.
• Articulated at top and base of neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles.
• Includes energy sword.
