 Extreme disapointment November 19, 2009
A. Braun
As others have commented, leave it in the box! Upon removing from the box, the arm fell off, the armor fell off, and the legs can't move. I worked with it for a while and was able to get most of this moving and back together without to much work. You cannot pose the arms very well. The right hand has to be opened and stretched to hold the weapon. And do not for any reason think that a child can actually play with this. Like others, mine is on display only. It's very frustrating as this is my first purchase of the line of figures and I am extremely reluctant to consider making a second purchase.
All that said, the paint and detail on the figure is truly great. Still, it just seems like a half ass job.
This has to be the lowest durable mcfarlane halo figure yet. November 14, 2009

I like to speak my mind and when i get duds or really nice figures i express myself. This figure has to be the worst designed figures for durability mcfarlane made yet. I think the problem is we the consumers got used to companies making figures like this and we keep buying them. I love these lines but back when series 1 and 2 came out they had issues we all complained about. This company that makes these are just cutting way more corners and it really shows. I buy so many of each of these figures since series 1. I am a big fan of the halo design and love these figures when i get them unbroken. I bought some in stores that look fine but when i open them there back hidden area has mold or huge paint defects or just falling off pieces. The shoulders and heads are made to come off easy they made it that way. The other parts falling off is where i get mad cause i got to start putting super glue to fix them. This in turn makes a arm or a leg not able to do anything but the pose you put it in before you super glue it.
This figure looks amazing even through the 4 i bought online are all the error ones with no white stripes which the rookie figure has. The amazon photo even shows the one without the stripes. I guess these were produced first and they found out about it late and fixed it. The visor also is a different color as well as the chest is green not white. I think they look great anyways and if you get one that does not have a defective peg hole for a arm or whatever it is a 2 thumbs up figure. I just warn you all alot of these being sent to people are not the true Rookie from the game it is a regular ODST just redesigned a bit from the older one. The difference that makes it the rookie is the color stripe on the helmet and chest and whatever else it has. I love how there Quality Control could miss such things. Well i guess i should get used to it they always screw up the simple things like these. I hope they hire someone that can actually see and fix these issues. If there just doing this to make more money while putting out defective stuff on purpose shame on them!
So i give 2 thumbs up if you want a non rookie version and it comes without broken defective joints. I recommend buying all mcfarlane figures in the future locally so you can buy something that has a less chance of coming broken. You get good at seeing those spots where you go hmmm nope not this one!

I bought this for my 10 year old son, who has many Halo figures. The minute we took it out of the package, the arms tore apart, and would not hold back together. It is poorly made. Pieces were just falling apart and we couldn't put them back because they wouldn't stay in place. My son's reaction was, "Wow,this is cheap." I would not recommend it to anyone who plays with action figures, or collectables. The other Halo action figures, and collector's items that my son has were not 'cheap' like this one.
Have to agree- lousy construction November 9, 2009

This toy arrived with the fingers of its right hand glued together. When we separated them, it became apparent the right arm does not bend at the elbow (it's articulated, but the body armor prevents the arm from bending) - a major flaw when it comes time to blast away with the rifle!
From examining the figure, I believe the arm may have been assembled backwards at the factory - the armor appears reversed compared to the left arm (where the flap is in back of the elbow, not at the bend). However, the figure in the picture has a straight arm, so maybe this is just bad design.
6" action figures typically have a short life expectancy around our house - we have baskets full of mutilated soldiers. But this is the first one we've gotten that's been unplayable right out of the box.
Weakest Ever November 4, 2009
Logan Morwood (Santa Clara, CA United States)
This is by far the weakest Halo Action Figure to date that I have. He is small, and his left leg broke off in my hands literally 15 second after he was taken out of the package.
Size: He is quite a bit shorter than the other figures. He is skinnier, and his weapon is tiny compared to other two-handed guns that others carry.
Broken: The joint that holds his left leg snapped off as I was trying to move it. I am gentle with all of the action figures from McFarlane since they tend to paint completed figures and they tend to stick a little anyway. The leg did not have a chance. So, it has been glued on to a stationary position, and now he can only stand.
That being said, the armor is neat looking and different than the other Halo figures. He does stand out a little, and look like he would be easy to kill. I guess that is what happens when you are the "rookie."
