Great Halo 3 Figure, Nice Recon Armor, 5/5
 
Review Date: October 21, 2009
Reviewer: P. Wolf Bass, Outer Banks, NC USA
Ever since Halo 3 came out 2 years ago, the Recon Armor has been more pursued by gamers than a masters degree. For some reason, everybody wants it, but no one can get it. (With the exception being buying Halo 3: ODST and completing 7 near impossible task in both games) Now with this figure you "can haz reconz" This figure does a great job of replicating the Recon Armor and is more durable than other MasterChief models, this model is also more poseable and with dual pistols some great poses can be made, an absolute buy if your a halo fan.
A really great figure, top notch.

Definitely my favorite choice for a Halo Figure, a little pricey for an action figure but I suggest it as a first choice.
100 percent awesome

hey, these mcfarlanes are awesome!

BUT, I would like to see better paint jobs on the heads (well, bodies too, but that is more forgivable since the heads are most important)

The quality of the paint jobs on the Halo figures is usually good, but more often than not, there are MAJOR issues leading me to either be frustrated, or have to touch up the paint jobs myself, and after paying big bucks for these figs, that's usually not going to make me happy.....

Recon is awesome, paint jobs are not.

5 stars for the figure, 2 stars for the paint jobs......
Right arm broken... in box

Reviewer: Alexander Hannah,
i recieved the action figure very promptly and it looked great in the box. however, after i opened the thing up i quickly discovered the arm was already broken and had been pressed on loosly again before it was put in the box. im used to mcfarlane toys being of less playable quality and more of high detail... but come one, it's like the tan scout from series 2 all over again. i am currently getting a replacement and look forward to posesing a non broken one very soon.

Review Date: December 1, 2009
Reviewer: Eugene M. Roby,
I was excited to find this figure for cheap in a store, after seeing it go for $60 plus online. Like one of my fellow reviewers has perviously stated, the figure looked great in the box. When I opened it however, both arms fell off. I was able to loosely put them back on, but if you touch the figure in the wrong way they fall off. That was my first dissapointments of many.

My first dissapointment was the dual magnums. At first I was excited to see these but after close examination I was dissapointed. The magnums both have pegs on the same side, which means you can't put one magnum on each of his legs (well you can but one will be backwards). I was excited to see a second hole added on the left leg to hang accesories from but with the magnums being identical it is rather pointless. Why couldn't they have put removeable and pegs on the magnums? The second major dissapointment with the magnums is their size. While it is possible to put the magnum in the right hand with ease, the left hand is another story. Promotional pictures show that this figure has two identical hands, with trigger fingers exposed. THIS IS FALSE. The hand sculpts are no different from any other spartan figure (trigger hand, and the cradling hand). The magnum can't fit in the left hand properly because the trigger guard is too small for the hands. At best it looks like the figure is loosely gripping the weapon.

On the positive side, once you can find an action pose he won't fall apart in, this is a sharp looking figure. The paint job on mine was a bit lacking but the figure still looks great regardless. The extra hole on the left leg is something that would be great to see on future figures.

In short this figure is not worth the high dollar value charged for it online. I was lucky I found it at a retail store, for retail price, and if it wasn't for that I would have been thoroughly frustrated. I wish I would have kept it packaged. Unless you are die-hard Halo fan who covets this figure as much as the armor in the game, I would be wary to buy this figure.
