What our customer's say!

"Cool Toy but....", This toy is very detailed and very cool. I bought it for my son, who loves it, but the hands are constantly falling off, the rifle does not fit well in the hands, and the toy did not come with the grenades like the product description said. I am somewhat disappointed in this purchase.

"Halo 3 Series 1 - Master Chief ", When i decited to by these McFarlane "action figure" I started reading reviws on these items... Big mistake. Every one was crying over how horible these "action figures" were. so i decited to test one out. It was the best buy I made on amozon. (but ebay is still cheaper.) However amozon DID mess up on the wepons this item came with.

"Chuck Norris checks his closet at night for Master Chief", wow
you people must have gotten the bad end of THAT stick
something i'd like to point out real quick
none of the figures have the right weapons and/or gear pictured or listed
well
except the covies
all the spartans are just totally screwed up
so boo hoo
get over it
it's a grenade
i've got three other figures with them, and to to tell you the truth they're annoying,
they're tiny, easily lost if removed, and they take up a valuable storage spot on spartans
grenades are over rated
that being said
this guy is fantastic
i've read some of the other reviews about how he isn't meant for children's play etc etc and that's true
but i mean come on
he's from a video game that centers around killing vast quantities of people
of course he's not designed for 4 and 5 year olds
despite this, he is incredably durable
i bought him at Alakazam around when the first series came out, so that i could have someone to fight my brute chieftain, and i've been playing with him every day practicly
i've dropped him out of helicopters, pitted him against thousands of clones
(i'll be the first to admit i still play with toys, yes, you nerds out there, we can all admit it now)
and he still holds up
in fact, i like him the best out of all nine of my guys (six spartans, two brutes, and the grunt)
the painting is the most acurate to the game i've seen, with a sort of bronze/green remeniscent of the E3 announcement trailer, and the articulation means you can replicate any action pose, or any ragdoll, from the game
his AR is sturdy, and fits incredably well into his hand, loose enough to allow for a fast melee, but tight enough not to fall out at the slightest touch, and his molding is supurb, down to the nicks and scratches of his armor
all in all, this is the exact figure to get your die hard Halo fan
be it the old school CE devotee, or the noob Halo 3 fanatic

"The Master Chief...", Being a fan of the game series, I'd wanted to get a Master Chief figure for some time, but had missed the Halo 2 release. So when the Halo 3 figures came out, I picked this guy up at a local Toys'R'Us.
Impressions: I can't say I have any complain with this figure appearance wise. He is well detailed, not just with painted details, but sculpted elements, from the various lines of his armor, to pits and dents, to the black inner layer of the armor. No sculpted detail was spared.
As far as possibility, again I was not disappointed. Arms, legs, knees, elbows, even wrists, ankles and toes move, giving one a wide variety of poses to put him in.
There is negatives, though. He doesn't seem terrible sturdy, although mine hasn't broken yet. But I take care of my stuff. I can imagine a kid taking him through serious play and breaking something off. But this figure seems like more of a collectors' piece to me.
Also, as you'll notice others have said, the grenades (that the package said were included) were nowhere to be found inside. Thus, the Master Chief comes only with his assault rifle, and the peg you use to mount it on his back. Really, where are the grenades?
There were no instructions about mounting the weapon either, even though it is pretty straight forward. Peg goes into his back, and the small end of the peg sticks out so you can put it in the hole of his rifle, thus supporting it. But to me, it seems a bit odd for him to be holding no weapon, yet have his rifle on his back. I really wish for more weapons. Maybe a shotgun or a pistol even maybe?
Oh yeah, the rifle doesn't fit perfectly in his hand either. It tends to be quite lose.
And while the paint job on the figure is pretty good, the rifle (at least the one that came with mine) does seem to have a lesser quality paint job.
But anyway, for collectors, this is a fine figure. Just don't expect a high durability figure, and don't be surprised if you get no grenades.


"Halo Action Figures - from a Child User's View", This review is not for collectors; it is for people buying these items as toys to play with. My 8 year old son is a fan of the PC Console based HALO game, so for his birthday we got him a Master Chief and a Jackal Sniper. We have a couple of the other figures on order. As action figure toys, they have some notable flaws. 1)The hands cannot grip the weapons well at all. These are fighting figures and they can't even hold and manipulate their rifles for the kid's scenarios. Hand position and lack of articulation is a big disappointment. 2)The Master Chief's rifle is designed and built so that the muzzle falls off and is nearly impossible to keep glued in place. 3) The Master Chief box said it comes with grenades; there were no grenades. 4)They are not particularly sturdy. The Jackal Sniper's head, in particular, is prone to coming off. 5) The weapons come with little pegs so they can be held and so they can fit into holding spots. You will have to glue the pegs into the weapons or - you will lose them, or they will stick into the holding holes and have to be pried loose to be put back into the weapon.
Overall, my son is happy to have these guys, but I notice that he clearly does not find them very much fun to play with compared to his expectations and to his other action figures and Legos. I believe these design and construction issues are a big part of that.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"halo", I purchased the Halo figure for my teen drawing class. It is excellent proportionally and an interesting subject for the kids to draw. Full articulation lends itself to varied vantage points and added "energy" to a pose. Would like a little larger sized figure and one that doesn't feel fragile...I suspect that the compromise would be for the details and articulations...so overall I would take the details/articulations over the sturdiness.

"Master Chief is cool", I bought this item for collection purposes only. I do not intend to open the product to play with it, but I can say that the detail is awesome, which is to be expected from all McFarlane toys. The only grip that I have is that it is shown, on the packaging and in pictures all over promoting this figure, having a grenade. And as far as I can tell, not one of Master Chief's figures have one. But overall, I would recommend it to any Halo fan or video game figures collector.

"happy meal size", like you have read before, there is no grenade. I was a little disappointed but i'll live. its just a toy, get over it.
One thing that I was greatly disappointed with is the scale that the Master Chief and the rest of the mcfarlane halo 3 series toys. They do not match the size of the halo 2 toys from Rc2 and racing champions.
So if you have the halo 2 spartans and covenant action figures, then don't bother adding these midget mcfarlane toys on the same shelf. frankly it would look just weird. Like a happy meal toy with a G.I. Joe, it simply does not work.
But with that said, this toy does have its perks. 18 points of articulation works great. the figure is very stable, unlike the larger halo 2 series. And (for you nerds like me) smaller toys take up less shelf space.

"Very good figure! A couple of little issues.", Got the figure and as has been reported in other reviews there is no grenade packed in with the MC Series 1 figure. Now, I am not going to say the I feel robbed, but I think it is a mistake that was made during production. The grenade is pictured, and it'd be nice to see them come up with some way to get the thing. The other small issue I have is with the articulation. I'm glad that the figure is as articulated as it is, but the joints are in kind of strange places and some are quite stiff. Plus, is seems a little strange that MC's foot twists in the middle.

Those are my only issues, I really like the level of detail and the figure does seem fairly durable. Overall, a nice figure and I'll be buying more in the series. I have some of the other Halo collectibles and I would say that this is every bit as good as the Joyride toys (if not better).

"Lived up to my expectations! A little dissapointed with false advertising though!", This product definately lived up to my expectations. It looks good, it moves (something many mcfarlane toys don't or are limited to), and is very nice to display in various poses. The toy however does seem a bit fragile and probably not meant to be played with. I stopped playing with toys long ago, so I don't really care, but I can imagine all these young children taking it out, ready to play some awesome mastercheif action only to have the toy disintegrate limb by limb by just the everyday wears and tears of average child's play! These toys are geared towards children and that is why they are designed to move and pose. Defiantely as well made as the other Halo toys that have been in production, but they definately look alot better!

I was also very disappointed that the picture shows a grenade attached to master chief's leg, the box even states that a grenade is included, yet all we get is an assault rifle and a little black peg with no instructions on how you use such peg. However if you look on Master Chief's back and legs, there are holes to put the peg in. These pegs are so that MC can put his weapon on his back and maybe a grenade on his thigh.... except we only get one peg, and ZERO grenades! What is this?!?!?! False advertisement! The packaging states that the grenades are included! So now my master chief sits on the shelf holding a rifle in his hand, and with a black peg sticking out of his back... since I didn't want to lose the peg, and also since the peg stick out of his leg looks really stupid! This is my biggest complaint! I cant believe that they let this problem happen! It says on the package "includes grenades". Well I don't see A grenade... let alone this so called "grenades" business! Major disappointment especially from a toy company like McFarlane who's whole infrastructure is based on pure quality!


Well enough of that. Lets say I will let them slide on that one fact.... just barely! But only because the toy is very nice looking, it poses (not easily mind you), but it still poses and looks great on my shelf where it is meant to be! I like this product overall, and recommend it, but looks like series 2 will be the same chief, but with 2 guns and grenades! So maybe its better to wait. Hopefully they will release the grenades next time! I think I am going to get Cortana next! Also accessory packs would be nice that include different weapons and GRENADES!
