    The 3.75 inch ones are easy to paint as well. The Mark V (white one) comes apart very easily (not in a bad way) and even if you have minimal tools is just fine to paint.

    Got the 3 3/4 Cheif today and he rocks! The only complaint is a loose hip and the gun sucks.

    Can't wait to buy 6 more!

    What are the Quality Control issues you guys keep mentioning on the Spartan Collection figures?

    I ask because I have series 1 Chief, and series 2 Jerome and Emile sitting here still factory sealed. I haven't opened them up and played with them yet.

    Series 1 Chief is a floppy mess. Loose butterfly joints, loose elbows, loose torso. The back of one of the hips keeps running into the butt plate and scraping the plastic off too. It’s just not very refined. Maybe I got a fluke. But I’ve heard Emile and Jerome are better so hopefully series 2 Chief has those improved tolerances

    Just really wish Emile would get listed for sale anywhere online so I could actually get him and compare...

    That would be awesome, thank you!

    Since I was stopping next door I did step into a Target for the first time in months today just to look for them, only to be met with disappointment heh. But it did now mark my first time seeing any of WCT's Halo toys on shelves with their 3.75" figures, so that was still cool to see it having a presence.

    Yeah, so far I need to find 3 Jeromes and 3 Emiles for you two and 1 other person who wants all of wave 2 because their stores didn't get any in (Washington, USA) but got all of wave 1 in.

    Hopefully they'll become more available. Hopefully.

    So is Wave 2 onward going be Target exclusives? I’ve heard no word on them being found at Walmart or anywhere online. If so I should probably sell of my Kat figure since I won’t be able to complete the Reach team.

    I’d drive over an hour to the nearest one to look for Emile but I know its a waste of gas considering no store lately in Ohio has been carrying anything new.

    Jazwares did tweet this week that wave 2 should be showing up at "Target and Walmart" soon so.. they seem to think so. But whether your stores stock them of course..

    My Target had the red 6” Spartan, can’t remember if that was Wave 2 or Wave 1.

    Sweet, GameStop actually came through! Emile arrived exactly as predicted and wasn't super delayed like wave 1 was from them.

    First impressions are he's definitely much more solid than those first figures, which is excellent. But I am a disappointed with none of his hands being sculpted to have a trigger finger. So he holds his shotgun pretty awkwardly...

    Weird how in other lines we get tired of trigger fingers because it's easy to reuse them and characters with no need for them end up with them, but for a line built around just people with guns, they just aren't doing hands built for holding them very well.

    At least not in the ones I'm getting heh. I just took a look at the unnamed generic Spartans for the hell of it and see they've got pretty good hands for their included guns, so... Weird!

    Did either of you find a Jerome yet? I found an extra for one of you. The only thing is he has a small horizontal dent/gouge near the bottom of his chromed visor but he's also COVERED in silver weathering so it looks fitting. I can sell it to you for Receipt cost plus shipping.
