    I was going to pick one up but $10 is a little much for something so small. If it was about $6-7 I could see it..

    Considering the ass load of paint apps, and extreme detail (in some parts its even MORE detailed than the Joyride figures, insane? I think not!), combined with the superior sculpting that is McFarlane I'd say $10 USD is a STEAL.

    I agree, especially since most McFarlane toys go for more than $14. $10 is not bad.

    I did. She's SWEET. Translucent figure with paint apps everwhere.. and a blue LED light up stand. When lit up, she looks just like she does in the game.

    I saw these last night at my Walmart in NC. They were on an endcap and there were multiples of each, except Cortana. There were only 2, so I picked her up. I'll probably go back and get a MC as well.

    I saw the figs tonight at Fred Meyers. How good is the quality though. Todd has a knack for making good looking toys, but also toys that fall apart/break right out of the package.

    I hope I can get one of the active camo ones from the Spawn store. I'm a sucker for translucent figures.

    Another one here.

    I would be really temped to grab a few of these. Any word if they are getting released in Europe? They need a Scout and an ODST set, then I can combine those with EVA and CQB and create my own Spartan. That would be amazing.

    EDIT: Oh, there is an ODST and Scout figure coming in series 2. Tempting.

    I bought a Cortana for a fellow board member...but have yet to receive the payment. I guess I'll keep her if the guy doesn't come through. Anyone know where I can find loose pics of her all lit up on her display base?

    Just came back from Wal-Mart and there's an entire endcap filled with them. I'm a huge fan of the Halo 2 figures and these really don't hold much to them.

    - They're kinda small, much smaller than the H2 toys.
    - The weathering effects really don't add much to the figure.
    - Cortana looks like a tranny.
    - The MC's weapons are all identical.

    I'm kinda bummed because I'm an H3 fanboy. : \

    Only the series one Spartans have all the same weapons, series 2=more variation. You can't complain about that, because that's EXACTLY what Joyride did with their first series of Halo 2 figures.
    Mas paint apps makes em look more like the game, no more of those flat plastic colors from the Joyride Spartans, now you can actually tell they're wearing real armor, and not some paintball mimicry.

    Grabbed me a MC at Walmart. Quickly twisted the left hand off as the ball joint was far to large to give it any movement. Shaved it down used a piece of metal in between the hand and ball joint and glued it all together. Also I want my damn grenades, the back of the MC package even says grenades but he's the only spartan without them.

    Honestly these things blow the Joy Ride figures away by light years.

    I might have to pick up some of these. Right now I have the Joyride Master Chief and Arbiter standing next to my 360, and I wanted to replace them. Although it depends how much smaller they are. I hope they release a weapon pack though...

    So are they worth it? Anyone do any kickass poses? I think I'll just wait for wave 2 Chief so I can charge mah lazer. I might pick up a Spartan though.

    Oh how I hate exclusives. I'd love a steel CQB Spartan.

    EDIT: Just saw some photos of the Steel CQB and I need it. Can anyone get one from Gamestop and ship it to me? I'll Paypal of course.
