Whoa... for a sec I thought the EVA had a Sniper on his back (in addition to his Beam Rifle) and I shook me head at the poor weapon choice. But it must be an AR.

The ODSTs look awesome...
And the Chief, of course.

my fave is the Orbital Shock Trooper, I want that armor ingame including the blue face plate instead of that ugly ass gold.

"Like an Orbital Shock Trooper. And a Brute Stalker. And a Drone. And a Spartan in the much-fancied recon armor."

I see no recon armor... Luke do you mean the scout armor?!?

@gamestoremanager:

I was responding to the "spice it up" line. I wouldnt buy these either but they are a pretty accurate representation of the in game models used.

fiendman666 — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:57:26 MST

it would be nice for them to just release a single spartan and then release armor packs so you can dress it up to match your multiplayer character. same for elites...wait...there are no elites. apparently they think the arbiter is the only one. or they just get no love like usual.

I gotta agree.. albeit they are pretty neat, something just doesn't do it for me. That plastic look just makes me cringe >.>

@gray665: It's a good game mate... (finished it on leg. on first week of purchase look it up if you want. gamer tag Lewis Camel) I'm talking about the charecter design. It's pap. The characters ain't much to look at nor the toys. Only true "fan boys" could appreciate these poor figures. Feel free to plough more money into this franchise and feed the Microsoft fire... LOL bit extreme. Sorry dude just don't like em.

What are you talking about, thats exactly what they look like in the game. Seriously, have you ever even played it?

GOD — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:53:24 MST

@Jaysius: That is because the character design in the game leaves much to be desired (Bland! sci-fi by numbers western kack). If the didn't spice it up a little it wouldn't be much of a toy...

Jaysius — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:35:09 MST

Wow, its kinda funny that there(seemingly) is more variation in the toys than in the enemies in the game.
Also these figures seem to have more personality than the characters in the game.

multimoog — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:09:39 MST

And since they're McFarlane toys, they'll break as soon as you take them out of the box for realistic death action! If you want to respawn, that's another 20 bucks, please.

ODST for the win. And the plastic does look iffy, but it has that rugged (beat and worn) texture similar to the Halo 3 Bloomkamp short-films.

But still, these are all sculpts, and hopefully the final plastic versions will be nice.

I would pick up the scout armor if it wasn't tan - bleh - I didn't see the Recon armor though - just EVA and CQB

Anthropomancer — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 06:57:31 MST

I wish MacFarlane would give something like Silent Hill a shot. Or just go back to doing stuff like Tortured Souls, the designers are far too good to be wasted on uninspired games like these, as well as the sports/military ranges they've been putting out recently. All a bit too Tom Clancy.

Is it just me, or do the Covenant weapons - especially the sword - look disproportionately small?

The designs are fantastic but I'm a little put off by the texture of the plastic. It's not as cheesy as the 3rd series where you could tell it was cheap plastic but the texture just seems off on all the photos. Maybe it's just the photos. I look forward to seeing them first hand though.
