What are the best Halo figures, any lines to avoid/ specifically go for?
Are there any Warthogs made in the same size as the figure lines?
>>5208899
there'll never be a good articulated elite except the subpar mcfarlane ones
>>5208899
Those two mcfarlane mk6 spartans fit the reach warthog better than any other figures imo. McFarlane may have 28 points of articulation but, have shitty range overall.
I have the Play Arts Kai Anniversary Chief and Spartan Warrior. I'm pretty happy with them, but I've heard bad things about the rest of the line.
If you're okay with the scale, PAK is the way to go. There are some missteps here and there but they're serviceable figures.
Ignore anything from 3A like the plague, especially the Master Chief.
Had a couple of the mcfarlane halo 2 figs in the old bst but I really wish I'd gotten some of the ODSTs when I had the chance. Eyeballing the Halo 2 kai chief cause its the only play arts that doesn't look like shit.
The new 3A ones look pretty good.
>>5209163
The range on the joints isn't that bad, but it is limited.
pic of what poses you can do before modification, which is usually just shaving away at the sculpt near the joints.
I've got a few reach Spartans i got from target years ago but they are so hard to stand up
Was thinking of getting this, pretty cheap.
>>5215017
>that ugly elbow joint
I don't remember McFarlanes having such ugly obvious joints
>>5215043
The videos i watched of it looked much better than that picture it didnt really seem like it was noticable
The amiami master chiefs look pretty nice
>>5215076
I broke down. .. amazon had it the cheapest I've seen so far.
>>5210795
Ugh, are you the guy with zero mcfarlane halo figures but saved a bunch of pics and defends them on here?
>>5215156
>those proportions on the legs
JUST
>>5215162
>implying i shouldn't use top-tier photographs with cool poses to example how awesome the toys are
smh
I'd be unfair to use my own pics anyway, since I've modified mine to increase the range from their joints.
have some lalam
>>5215156
that's funny because i just did the same thing. I was looking at the halo 5 Kotobukiya one but twice the price and low articulation seemed not worth it.
>>5215188
Can you use a pic of how much range you get when you mod them? And a how to mod them.
Thinking about getting the pink spartan.
>>5215191
The other ones just look so janky by comparison
>>5215488
The mcfarlane halo 5 one actually looks pretty good except the hips but i imagine you could improve that a decent amount.
Seems Kotobukiya's ARTFX+ spartan line is starting to add in joints to the base body.
How long do you think until they have fully articulated figures?
>>5215191
>>5215156
Got here today, it is pretty decent for the price.
>>5215188
Here is why I think you are a trill, where us one pic of extended articulation halo figs? None. Hell, I would be interested in doing that to a few of mine.
>>5215719
Koto guy here, never cause we cant have fully articulated figures due to licensing. So there is only so much we can do.
>>5219266
>cant have fully articulated figures due to licensing
that doesn't make sense. explain. engineering articulated joints sounds absolutely irrelevant to what the licensed merchandise itself is.
>>5219298
See the thing is like this, are you aware of our star war ArtFX+ figures? those have some simple articulation like swivel the head or rotate the hands and thats it. We cant go full articulation because hasbro has the US license for fully articulated figures. Is the same reason you cannot buy the SH Figuarts here but have to import cause Hasbro would sue the living shit off off Bandai japan. Now you might be saying but i seen articulated figures from SW else where at the disney store, and the explanation for that is those figures are bigger then 6inches and the hasbro license for figures is only within that scale so anything bigger is free game for anyone. So know that u know that this is why we cant have fully articulated figures because Macfarlane has the license for full articulation at the 6inch scale.
So there you go.
>>5210795
Reach Figures look good. But there are ass.
>>5215017
Don't. The legs don't even come out to 90 degrees
i would love to get the mcfarlane jul mdama, but that wave never saw the shores of malaysia...
>>5219318
Skeptical that you really do for for Koto, but wondering, since Koto is a japan based company? wouldnt it work like bandai does? not allowed to directly sell to North America, but be available for import
>>5219944
It could, but Kotobukiya seems to like their US sales and their sales for statueshit seem good enough for them not to care for fully articulated figures.
>>5219091
Got mine too, shits fucking cash. For what i payed for him i'm incredibly satisfied dudes as tall as my GF's statueshit, wish he came with an AR or a BR but i'm definitely pleased. I'd ask for an Arbiter but i don't trust PAK to make something else i like.. as this is literally the only one i can vouch for saying i like the look of it.
>>5220294
Under the right lighting the sword looks spot on.
>>5208899
The Halo 2 figures are still the best.
>>5220294
Man, i have that Selvaris figure and i never opened it.
>>5220294
>>5220296
I wish that would have done a more accurate sword not this stylized/huge one. Does look pretty good though
>>5215188
total BSer right there. You brag about modding them to increase range yet you refuse to give us examples or show us how you did it. We would love to get more range in our figures.
>>5219298
Like >>5219318 says, there are tons of crazy little details in licencing agreements over things like figures. This is to help keep one company from having a complete and total monopoly on big licenses. Know why some Funko pops are Bobble Heads and some aren't? Because hasbro had a license that says they have ful rights to making vinyls figures of Marvel, But adding a simple bobble feature gets around that.
License agreements can be a real PITA to deal with man, good friend of mine is a Patent and License lawyer and he complains about this stuff often.
>>5208899
since no one else seemed to really Answer you. There are currently two Warthogs made that can fit McFarlane figures. You got the Reach hog, which is the most compatible with the McFarlanes since it is afterall a McFarlane and there are 2 weapon upgrade sets to change the turret on the back to either Missiles or Guass. Good luck finding the McFarlane Hog for a decent price though.
Far more recent and thus easier and a bit chaper to get is the Jada diecast hog from halo 4. Sadly it is a smaller scale so figures have to really crouch to use the turret which can't be height adjusted, and some figures can fit in the seats barely while others can not at all. On the plus side the die cast has a ton ton more detail and stuff going on then the McFarlane. It also comes in 2 paint jobs IIRC, a normal and a dirtied version
>>5220630
The biggest thing is the head seems a bit small. For the price it's nice though
How is Mcfarlane Halo 5 Fred? How is the leg articulation? Not looking for miracles, just basic movements
Any worth while ODST figures?
>>5221776
If you look at the picture of the Halo 5 McFarlane Chief (the one with his legs kind of far apart), that's about the extent of the hip movement for the entire H5 series.
I got the Halo:CE Anniversary Chief. I liked the look and it's the only one with that design. But holy shit you guys.
I mean there's 'articulation limited by sculpt' and then there's this. 28 points of articulation my ass.
>head up/down is a negligible amount
>barely moves at the shoulders
>elbows move ~45 degrees
>knees about 30 degrees
>clicky joints on ankle but knees are loose and floppy
>all joints hard to turn if they get flipped around the wrong way
>limbs don't seem to be removable
>why even have an ab crunch when it barely moves

>have to force him to hold his gun because elbows can't bend

I mean holy shit all I can say is at least he looks cool
>>5222413
There is a reason these only cost $12 at the time. That said I really do love the reach line, though I do admit they aren't the best
>>5222539
I really just wanted that low-poly look. I wish someone else would use it so I could get a replacement.
>>5222539
what a dumb thing to say.
If you want to free up the joints to have more motion, they'd just cut away at the sculpt or position the joints further apart from the sculpt. That doesn't cost more.
If the guy was complaining about a poor paint job or a poor sculpt, yeah, that might have to do with it costing $12, but he isn't.
Besides, McFarlane doesn't skimp on the quality of their sculpts. They used to go all out with paint, but they have skimped since the 00s, yet they still produce high-mid or low-high tier paint jobs
pic of $7 super articulated awesomeness you won't find on anywhere else. Obviously, you get what you pay for: shit tier paint, redecoed body, and extremely mushy sculpts.
>>5208899
Which Mustard Chef figs are in the OP?
>>5221776
He's not bad. I just got him and Kelly today. Kelly's leg articulation is trash straight out of the box.
>>5208899
does anybody know what the best halo 2 master chief figure is?
>>5224998
Either PAK or Halo 2 Anniversary Chief.
PAK is anorexic, but besides that looks better. It isn't exactly the most articulated figure, but as long as you are ok with its scale and price point, it should do you fine. The Mcfarlane Halo 2 ver is cheaper and closer to scale to your figmas, SHFs etc, and it has better articulation than the PAK (outside the hips, were both suck for different reasons). Its cheap as fuck though.
Seriously I'd just get both so you can have the "best" figure, while also having one that can be posed with your collection; while we wait for someone to finally get the Halo 2 design right.
>>5224998
McFarlane's is pretty much in-game perfect
>>5225251
>Its cheap as fuck though.
i hope you mean inexpensive.
>go to target today to try and pick up a figure for my brother's birthday, because Halo and REQ packs
>can't even find the Halo section for figures
>Megabloks still there
Gonna try Walmart tomorrow. Is there a "best" figure for the Series 1? And why is the Athlon priced like $10 more than everyone else?
So I'll either be buying the Mcfarlane Halo 1 Cheif or Halo 2 Cheif today. Who owns them? I'm leaning towards Halo 1 Cheif since CE was my favorite, but he's a little more expensive and a bit more hassle it ordet. Halo 2 Cheif looks Excellent and has a good amount of accesories, but appatently can't hold his weapons for shit. What are some of your guy's thoughts on the two. Good or bad.
>>5228691
It's late. Disregard my sloppy post. Any help is appreciated.
>>5228691
I have Halo 1 Cheif. He certainly looks very nice but his articulation is abysmal. I also think the lower legs on mine might be reversed, and if they're not they can look a bit awkward at times. I certainly don't regret buying him as a 7$ impulse buy from target, though. Not sure what he goes for now.
>>5228737
I don't mind the articulation being a bit restricted, but he does seen to have very few viable poses. One reason why i was leaning towards him was his head up on 2's height, but it seems he's still a bit short. Right now I could get him for about $26-28 bucks and Halo 2 Chief for $20. Bit steap?
>>5228737
Also, if you have a chance, would you mind posting him in a few poses? Something like this, or holding his AR?
>>5228858
By "this" i meant this
>>5228858
See
>>5228691
As that is basically the only pose you can work him into.
Get the H2 chief. He can do the same pose.
>>5228927
Can H2 chief hold his SMGs well? Maybe if I cut his index free from the rest of his fingers?
>>5228944
Yes and yes. I dont have a pic handy or the figure out to snap a pic, but I did just that.
>>5229052
Yeah I should have picked him up last month when he was only about 20 bucks. I don't think I could spend upwards of $40 for him. Looks like H2 chief it is for now. I'd like to pick CE chief up if I can find him cheap tho.
>>5228923
Here you go. This is pretty much the extent of his action-y pose capabilities.
>>5229409
>sideways smartphone picture
Why the hell is this such a common problem? Is it me?
>>5229415
>Is it me?
Nope. Some phones just suck at realizing they're turned. Windows Photo Viewer lets you hit the "Turn" button, though, and it actually saves the image as turned, if you do that before you post.
I don't know anything about toys, I don't know what makes them good
was this considered good? I liked the detail on it (and prefer the Halo 3 design the most)
>>5229415
Thanks for delivering. Gah. He looks so damn good tho. If only he was still $20. I may pick him up next paycheck anyway basefd on how good he looks. Definitely ordering H2 Chief tomorrow tho.
What's the best Halo 4/ Halo 5 Chief? I like the look of that armor.
>>5215188

Holy shit are you 3 years old?
Do they just sell Spartan shit?
I wouldnt mind some ODST or UNSC figures especially halo 1 marines since they had that scouter shit with there helmets.
>Sgt.Johnson never ever
>Rookie never ever
>>5227645
you might wanna try gamestop
>>5229922
Wow did you know google exists? Because they made a Johnson, a Rookie, Marines & Troopers, and tons of Covenant.
Ive decided i want the neca master chief. But 100 bucks.....damn
so everyone thinks the joyride chief is shit? i have it and i think its a pretty nice figure
>>5229963
But it's 18 friggin inches dude. Think about that. It's fucking massive. And most 12" figures sell for over a hundo already, sooo...
>>5229975
But where the fuck are you going to put an 18 inch figure? Plus you can't exactly play with it on your desk.
>>5229975

Are you even old enough to post?
>>5229938
Well, this advice worked. Didn't find them at Target or Walmart. Only Gamestop. And they luckily had a yellow Athlon to give to my brother.
>>5231180
nice
yeah gamestop has seemed to be a good spot to check for them for a couple years now
also walgreens
>>5231920
>walgreens
What.
>>5229951
I heard the McFarlane ODST figures are shit and break easily and can barely hold there weapons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtcRl5xz8Dg
but there the only ODST figures around?
>>5231929
As someone that owns a Rookie figure, I don't think his elbows and knees ever bend.
>>5231929
>I heard the McFarlane ODST figures are shit and break easily and can barely hold there weapons.
Well you heard wrong.
The series 6 Rookie was rushed through production to get it on shelves but suffered brittle plastic at the wrists. That is the single notorious QC fail of McHalo figures.
Fortunately, he got a rerelease with the Anniversary figures, and it's a solid and great figure.
>>5231938
Tell your mom you're sorry you turned out retarded.
>>5231923
It's a cornerstore/pharmacy in America kinda like CVS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walgreens
They're on pretty much every corner in the USA.
>>5231952
I know what a Walgreens is, and this Rookie figure doesn't want to bend. Hell, knowing Mcfarlane figures, it'll snap in two and catch on fire.
>>5231972
epic :^
>>5232012
He isant lying though pre Reach Mcfarlane figures were like bombs in your hand.
>>5232025
I've owned every single campaign McHalo and several of the multiplayer.
And you're full of shit.
>>5232028
I'm the original guy, and they're pretty awful in quality at times. Hell, why did they stop making the paint matted down?
>>5232033
disgusting did you take that photo in an abandoned crack den?
>>5232050
No, at your mom's house.
>>5232052
does she live in an abandoned crack den?
>>5208899
If you don't care about the small scale, the Mega Bloks figs and sets are fucking 10/10, especially from the last 2 years.
>>5232054
I don't know. Have you gone upstairs lately to check the state of the kitchen?
>>5232057
one time i ate a bananaphone
>>5232059
Buh nuh, nuh nuh nuh.
>>5232056
The armor customization is even better than McFarlane's.
>>5232095
>>5232056
they look alright i just don't like the scale much.
Just ordered this.
>>5235294
He's a bit of a bitch to get standing.
>>5235349
In the videos i saw it didnt seem too bad.
>>5235349
its feet are flat on the bottom and it has full range ankle joints
are you a retard?
>>5229705
He's my favorite Halo figure. The articulation takes a bit to work with, and his hands are wonky as fuck, but once you figure him out he's fun to play with. I sling him into a lanyard and wear him as a necklace to midnight launches.
Also, that is definitely not the color he actually is. More of a lighter olive color.
>>5229963
Just be careful. He likes to dive. A lot.
Are there any good Halo CE or 2 Elites? What about flood?
>>5238304
I was wondering too. The only elites i could find were at least $50 and didn't look that great.
>>5235349
He arrived today, he definitely is not hard to stand.
>>5239735
How is he, anon?
>>5239828
I like him. My only problem is the direction his eye is looking isn't great but overall it's worth it.
>>5240099
He looks rad. How does he scale with some Chief figures?
>>5238304
Unfortunately, no. I myself dont care for the Joyride figures. The mcfarlane all suck ass and cant stand for shit, until the H4 figs. Finally gave them decent feet, but they look like H4 elites.
Now all McF will ever do is a handful of spartans and recolor one a wave for a store exclusive.
>>5208899
Sprue kits Master Chief is quite good.
>>5240542
it is quite nice, only that i hate the halo 4 master chief design. absolutely despise halo 4 designs
Are there any figures that scale with marvel legends, figuarts or figma?
>>5240240
>>5240846
Dang, he's pretty big. Still looks good tho.
Anyone get any of the halo 5 toys yet? Wondering how they are. I picked up Kelly for like, 12 bucks? Gonna see about opening her tomorrow.
>>5241671
Chief looks cool, but I can't find many good reviews on him.
>>5241740
The leg articulation on them all seem to be pretty shit. Is there a way to fix that? I hear people talk about modding them to add articulation, and that anthony customs dude in his review said you can clip the hips or something.
>>5241752
I'd have to have it in hand. I'm waiting on my Halo CE Chief to come in right now. My roommate is pretty handy with models, so I'm going to see if he can clip the shoulder pads down a bit for better articultion.
>>5241752
Has like old style ninja turtle ball hips. The position makes them go more inward than outward. Im not sure how to trim those to get better movement.
>>5241843
on the CE, its more the inner shoulder area on the front chest piece. Trim the first ridge off and it should allow a bit better two handed grip on guns.
>>5241859
Rad. Thanks. I'll post pics if I go ahead with it.
>>5243704
post some pics
>>5243913
of what
>>5243917
of the elite(s) you're talking about
>>5243704
I watched some reviews on the H3 Elites. They look like they'll work just fine. I'll keep an eye out for some on ebay.
>>5243923
http://jobs.spawn.com/toys/categorytype.aspx?categoryid=5
>>5243704
The H3. With rubber hands that break when placing a plasma riffle in, and feet are better than the stupid reach elite, but still prone to shelf dive, and break. Yeah, never owned any.
With the prices now and the way plastic degrades over 10 years, I find it hard to suggest anyone get anything from the H3 line.
>>5244547
>rubber hands
Haha literally what dude.
At least I know I can ignore the rest of your retarded and wrong claims. The "shelf dive" is especially laughable, considering they're the absolute most stable figure I've ever owned and I've owned about 300 figures from every brand you could name.
>>5244624
The hands have no hinge, putting a weapon in there rips the two middle fingers.
The arbiter is the only one with a flat foot surface. The others are on tip toes with a ball. They tip over when you sneeze in a different room.
Given the facts the plastic was shit quality when it was new, age wont help it either, and aftermarket prices, just bit worth buying the 3 line. Just look at any mcfarlane halo 3 lot on ebay, 90% have at least 1 broken figure.
>>5244660
Wow you're just hammering in the fact you've never owned these figures.
Yes the Anniversary Elites you pictured don't have hinges, but earlier H3 Elites do have a hand joint which makes holding guns on a whim a snap. But
>putting a weapon in there rips the two middle fingers
Are you a fucking retarded 6 year old? Jesus Christ man that's some dumb fucking shit.
Hair dryer it for 5 seconds and you can bend those spindly fingers to your hearts content. Getting them to hold anything is easy as fuck.
>The arbiter is the only one with a flat foot surface
To reiterate, the H3 Elites are EXTREMELY stable, so this claim makes it impossible at this point to claim you've owned these figures. Two legs that end in three-legged stools, and ankles that can aim in any direction? You'd have to be an invalid not to get these guys to stand. You can thrown them at a wall and they will land standing on the floor.
>they're old they're gonna break!
I've owned well over a hundred of these figures and the only break I've had is the notorious S6 Rookie's wrists (Rookie had an Anniversary re-release that was superb). So while you'd be one to go around tearing Elites hands apart if you had ever owned them, anyone with a partially functioning brain will be fine. A steel box can break if you abuse it like a retard.
>say anything bad about Mcfarlane figures
>Yo bro I owned over like 1000 and they are top quality your just retarded
Who the fuck is this guy?
How much are the McFarlane figures? Are there in scale vehicles?
>>5245126
I know right. Every fucking thread. Same bullshit.
>I can throw a halo fig at the wall and he will land, holding his weapon in a two handed firing grip, in a dynamic crouch
I believe this faggot never owned a halo figure.
To reiterate, the H3 are notorious for breakage. Spartans have hips that split apart. Grunts break at the arm and shoulders, kig yar drones are fragile as hell, hips on the H3 jackals break, plus the thin weapons tend to warp hopelessly or snap.
The elites lacking finger joints, what happens is over time, the fingers will begin to split apart from the hand. You can hair dryer it to get it in sure, but it will eventually tear.
The feet, yeah, arbiter has a flat surface and will stand easy. The rest on the tripod foot will tip over constantly. Still better than the reach elite.
There it is. The ugly truth. If you know, you can at least look at what you buy closer, and deal with the issues.
>>5245651
>>5245126
I dunno.
The guy's pretty specific about about how the toys are made and pointedly disarming claims of fragility, making him more believable than smomeone making general claims that seem to be untrue.
But what do i know? I only started buying McFarlane Halo figures with Reach. i had bought the Joyride figures before and they're so shit compared to McFarlane's.
>>5245808
Probably not a big deal or anything, but I got the Sprukits Locke today and it's damn nice. Looks much better than the other three Spartans.
>>5245814
spruekits are shit.
I'd rather buy a PAK.
>>5245818
Okay, cupcake.
>>5245808
>one anon gives photos and describes in detail what problems the figures have
>another anon says he is wrong, offering no photos or detailed info. Makes claims of samefagging when called out by many anons
Obviously i am just stupid and wrong, clearly outmatched, defeated by this subject anon. If I respond and prove she is full if shit, she cries and gets posts deleted.
>>5222539
why do you like the reach line?
>>5228691
saw halo 1 chief in store. it is good by mcfarlane standards.
>>5240846
I had that grunt a while back. I finally realized that there are much better figures out there and blew him to fucking smithereens.
>>5245935
>I finally realized that there are much better figures out there
Like what? He's not too bad and he looks decent.
you'd be a nut not to take the Mega Bloks into account
Bought a H3 Elite for cheap last night, so I guess I'll find out how good or bad they are soon. I'll post my tears next week when it arrives.
>>5246092
the scale and detail turn me off of it.
>>5245814
Pics anon? Can't seem to find any reviews yet, didn't even know he was out. If his articulation is anything like Palmer's I'll toss my mcfarlane Locke out of the window.
>>5245920
>If I respond and prove she is full if shit, she cries and gets posts deleted.'
IT's your word against his.
Some of his sounds believable though, like putting the weapons on their hands.
Again, i didn't start buying the line until Reach and i really had no issues, so it makes me lend credence toward him.
.... but looking it up, i guess i did buy a single figure from Halo 3 with Dare.
Also, pointing out the pictures thing really does make you sound like you're full of shit, considering he was right that they have hinges.
He does sound more credible than you.
Also also, I don't remember many complaints about the Halo line until the Rookie came out on /toy/. Again, points toward them being pretty good.
>>5247023
Except je backpedaled and lied
>
Yes the Anniversary Elites you pictured don't have hinges, but earlier H3 Elites do have a hand joint which makes holding guns on a whim a snap
Those are straight rereleases/recolors of H3 figures. From a box set. The elite didnt get standard hinged hands until the reach line. A few h3 do have them, but as an exception, not the rule.
TBH, most the halo collectors dont bother to post at all due to this fuck suck.
This figure lacks a trigger hand
>idiot, just cut tue hand and hair dryer
This figure only has 1 weapon
>faggot buy more stuff
This figure has poor articulation, 28 points that move less than 10 degrees
>retard i modded all of mine to have extra articulation
These figures are fragile and are prone to breaking 10 years ago when new
>that never happened, in fact i launched my entire halo 3 figure collection with a catapult against a wall and they all came out in dynamic poses
>>5247046
whoa
>>5247046
>The elite didnt get standard hinged hands until the reach line. A few h3 do have them, but as an exception, not the rule.
This sounds like backpedaling, but i guess that's true for both of you when you're trying to peg down the entire line based on a few figures.
>idiot, just cut tue hand and hair dryer
Cut the hand? Don't see that anywhere
The hair dryer trick is absolutely valid advice though.
>This figure only has 1 weapon
Where's this said in the thread?
>These figures are fragile and are prone to breaking 10 years ago when new
Seriously, you just sound like you're bitching just to bitch. How do you know it'll break ten years from now? If my Dare is anything to go by, i doubt it.
>>retard i modded all of mine to have extra articulation
I don't think anyone said you're retarded for complaining about the articulation not allowing much movement, but they're still pretty poseable and modding was very popular on /toy/ back when we had Halo generals.
Seriously, you just sound like a whiny little bitch making exaggerated complaints.

THIS IS ME, I'll post some of the reach ones and halo 4 I have, beside a hulk and the black 6" starwars. The reach ones look like stormtrooper size to vader which is kinda ok. Scale lol...
>>5247136
You are very correct.
MCFARLANE HALO FIGURES ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TOYS, PERFECTLY ENGINEERED WITH ZERO FLAWS. IF YOU HAVE CRITICISM YOU ARE LYING AND I WILL SAMEFAG AND SHITPOST TO MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE SUBJECTANON.
Fuck this faggotry.
So I just got a used Halo CE Anniversary off ebay that supposedly was only posed once and is in perect condition, but his right foot is loose. Not to the point where it will slump down, but the tiniest ammount of pressure will cause the figure to fall forward. I had heard that the rachety joints were tough, so I doubt they all suffer from this issue.
So should I return it or is there something I can do to tighten it up?
>>5247326
Same Anon, here. Would the floor cleaner trick work?

>>5247326
>>5247331
any glossy acrylic will work, even colored ones.
you can use rubber cement, tissue paper, nail polish, string, and who knows what else people have been suggesting on /toy/ for almost a decade now when offering advice for fixing loose joints. They'll all work to varying degrees (enamel and rubber cement actually have lasted me the longest).
Also, is the joint that's loose just the swivel part or the actual ratcheting? because I've never had a problem with any ratcheting joints for any of my toys. IT's always the fucking swivel part.
>>5247339
point is it's a catchall term for anyone who disagrees with them
>inb4 I'm samefagging and arguing with myself
>>5247348
>point is it's a catchall term for anyone who disagrees with them
no it's term for subjectanon. it's his name.
>>5247365
But that isn't me and he's just calling him that because boogeyman.
>>5247348
The actual racheting. Could it have to do with the grooves? Like they aren't prominent enough to interlock with his ankle. If so, how could I fix that?
>>5247326
Shut up liar. These figures are perfectly stable and never ever tip over. The only loose joint here is your asshole.
>>5247430
Come on, dude. You seriously can't not have something better to do with your time.
>>5247189
I haven't really been checking /toy/ for a while, since baysplosions chk chuk chick 4 (Walberg edition) Pretty sure I'm not subject anon as I've never tripfagd and I successfully managed to forget all the rest of the annoying tripfags. Unless subject anon is a catchall for people posting in here and such.
>>5247411
Sounds like the actual joint is loose or was poorly put together, rather than worn out.
As i said, you'll want to jam something in there. Any glossy acrylic is very safe to use or you can just shove tissue in there. Anything will work,... that's small enough to fit. Even white glue will make it tight enough, but that'll wear out relatively quick.
>>5247456
It's basically anyone that is disagreed with, sorta like "samefag."
Not sure why anyone would think I'd hate McFarlane though, considering all the shit I've gotten for talking about how amazing his 90s and 00 figures were. Glorious golden age of toys, which the Halo figures are all but a reflection of. Yet, they're still some of the best toys still being made... inspite of how they've cut back on the articulation. It's like a sun, that got cut in half and is now growing into a red star. STill amazing but not that blindingly radiant.
Shit, i really really wish any toy maker were this awesome again.

articulations are shit and can't hold his guns worth fuck
>>5248665
What's the best elites from the line?
I'm new to it. I read the later releases were a lot better than the earlier ones?
Do the characters scale with the vehicles?
>>5248689
Reach figures are pretty much the epitome of the entire line and it's also when they scaled it up, which means all the older figures are a bit smaller.
And yes, they'll all scale well with the vehicles, even the Halo 3 ones.
>>5248675
go back to /b/
Dolan pls
>>5248720
Last question: Was the Halo reach line before or after the Halo: Wars line. A lot of the Halo Wars stuff is cheaper. Is that because its newer, or because its shit?
>>5247456
Subjectanon is a single person, and he likes to try and throw newfags off by claiming it's not. He has a dead giveaway posting style, very easy to identify. And his telltale sign when trying to obfuscate his existence is the use of the word boogeyman, as you can see him doing here >>5247522

>stock photos
You are literally too retarded to insult.
Look up what "stock photo" means you idiot.
Those are not stock photos.

You're arguing against at least two people, from the looks of it 3 or 4.

Jesus christ /v/ please fuck off already. That really explains a lot though.
>>5248775
They are all 10 year old photos from a forum that got zapped 5+ years ago. He posts the same pics everytime.
There are a few anons that have posted problems. CE chief with a loose ankle. Immediately called a liar when asked for help.
Also, has been proven a liar and wrong, multiple times, just seems those 3 or 4 anons are ignoring or missing that too.
>>5248768
>Subjectanon is a single person
right, which is why this person is subjectanon >>5247046 and i'm also subjectanon... arguing with myself in this post >>5247114

Clearly it's just one person (me) arguing with himself (myself).
Keep trying to keep your boogeyman alive, because it obviously no longer means me, duder.
>>5248757
Yep, Halo Wars happened before Reach, but i didn't know that they made articulated figures. The mini figures were amazing though. Micro OPs were great too.
>>5248675
>posting fan made photos from a thread where people were wanting to prove that HAlo toys don't need stands and be very poseable means I'm a McFarlane employee
>this is what 10 year olds really believe
Yes, my name is Todd and I'm richer than you.
>>5248817
The forum was "zapped" last year.
Please continue showing us how little you know about these figures.
And there are several people here who post pics from that forum's dynamic pose thread, as several of us have been coming here since before and after it went down.

Ok fam.
>>5248939
I thought the forum went down in 2012. Big whoop. Still doesnt make me wrong about the figures being shitty quality, H3 figures exploding in your hands, or 50 points of articulation with a 5 degree range.
Lets face it, we cant have a decent discussion because anytime any criticism is placed on mcfarlane, this bitch will derail the thread.
Im pretty sure its a dumb polish cunt mod from a halo collector group on facebook.
>>5248939
Except the use stands and sticky tack to get those poses.
> Immediately called a liar

Why would I bother? This autistic twat cant help herself.
>>5248947
>No one called >>5247114 subjectanon
But that's me, you tard. learn how to read. like i said, why would i be arguing with myself? And since when do i ever bullshit? I'm pretty sure almost everything I've said is backed up by pictures of hilarious mushy, ill-proportioned, poorly painted toys. And that sure as hell aren't McFarlane's... well, besides the few that they really fucked up. Pic related.
But please, keep proving that subjectanon is just another term almost on equal footing as "samefag" and that people bullshit when they pretend they can "easily spot me"
>>5249071
>Except the use stands and sticky tack to get those poses.
What does it matter if a stand is used at all? Lots of figures can't be balanced because they're top heavy and not every figure comes with depleted uranium feet to retain a pose where they appear to be in motion.
The whole point to those pictures was just to prove they could do cool poses, not that they're well balanced (though some were).
Cool as fuck poses > mediocre poses needed to keep a figure balanced. And this applies to even god-tier articulated and poseable figures like Micromen, whose ball joints become loose as fuck and have trouble retaining poses even with stands.
Stands are included with most figures because they're needed, albiet in the most gaudy way possible.
>>5249450
was it in a thread about figures not needing stands?
Well shit, i sure as shit didn't really pay attention to it, since i was too busy jerking off to awesome pics.
>Who is the back peddler now?
Back peddling to what? oh, that that thread existed for figures not needing stands? How is that backpedaling if i never claimed anything of the sort?
Being able to do cool poses inspite of limited articulation is the only claims I ever made.
>>5249609
Admittedly it is worse. Every time a new halo thread pops up, we argue about the same god damned shit.
Its either a real shitty shill for McF, or a troll that hates halo and tries to stifle any discussion. How can anyone defend a product that is well known for breakages and other issues so vehemently?
Where is a single current picture? Just a hay /toy/ and date with one of those fancy figures modded for extra articulation would shut me up for good. Never delivers.
>>5249712
You could always stop spurring it on like a spastic fuck, set the keyboard down, and just ignor him like everyone does. Getting all huffy and sweaty over ONE guy's opinion shouldn't be enough for you to willingly derail the thread and ruin it for everyone else.

At least you have a sense of humor.
are there any spartans that stand around 7 inches? I'm not a total whore for scale but I like approximations
always wanted a chief toy but never got one
>>5215017
Just got this one and I think it's awesome.
>>5250603
Halo CE Anniversary Chief is the tallest of the Mcfarlane line at about 6". Joyride Halo figs are like 8", but looks super outdated. I have CE chief and really like his hight.
Actually now that I think about it, Halo 4 and 5 Chief might be the same height as CE Chief.
>>5250618
Thinking i should get it, but i dont think i'll ever get around to beating 4 or 5 since no xbone.
>>5248570
Probably McFarlane. They're newest set are all like $12 each on Amazon.
>>5250630
I don't have an xbone either, I just figured I should have some kind of Master Chief in my collection, and he was cheap enough. I'm very happy with him. I mean, he suits my needs. I might get some of the other Spartans too.
the 3A ones are overpriced and have an odd track record. Apparently some of the problems from the godawful chief were fixed on the spartan that followed it, but I have my doubts, and the previous Carter had a pretty okay paintjob and could barely hold his rifle. All of the PAKs are stylized, but are the most poseable out of the group.. I just can't get over how off they all look. Granted, the new halo 2 one showed they were at least trying to make them more accurate, but it was still far from perfect. All of the McF figures are based on the digital renders, but they still manage to fuck them up in either mold quality or joint setup no matter what. And the NECA 1/4 Chief looks like it's probably the best overall chief toy, but it's just not a scale I can deal with.
tl;dr all current halo toys are mostly junk. I'd like to see SHFs, but I'm afraid they'd stylize it like the avenger's and stuff, instead of going for super accuracy like SW and most riders.
>>5247326
I actually recall having a similar issue where it doesn't even ratchet, while the other foot does. I changed the shit out of mine though so I don't really remember what's original or not anymore.
>>5250571
Here have some Halo 5 figure fuck ups. This is a deformity. No hair dryer will fix this.
>>5255745
If it's the indent and it's shrinkage, you're correct, no hairdryer can fix that. Even if you managed to warp it outward and pump in something to bulge it, it's still a deformity that happened while it was curing, so there's no real way of fixing it.
I had the same issue on my Jun's thigh, I just swapped out the piece with an older one and painted it to match in the end.
>>5228923
what is with that helmet, fucking christ
>>5255745

>>5250630
I bought Halo 5 the other day. the campaign is seven hours long and disappointing. mp isn't much better.
honestly don't give two shits about Spartan Locke nor do I care why I should. either give me a new character and introduce him and his motivations in-game or just let me play as the chief again.
also the ending is dumb. the plot is dumb. Halo 4 is better and that's saying a lot.
>>5251132
figuarts halo figs would be great if they were accurate
but it's unlikely to ever happen.
>>5255850
dude go see an eye doctor, right now
>>5255857
To be fair, halo 4 was the best halo game right behind CE. But yeah this was a subpar release.
>>5255857
>mp isn't much better
Nigga, are you serious? I'll agree with you on the campaign but the multiplayer's fun as shit with all the new movement abilities.
As for the toys, I'd probably be more annoyed with them if they were 20 bucks or so, but give that they're 13-15 bucks I feel like they're decent for what their price is. I've heard of all the QC issues, but luckily never been hit with any of the 30+figures I own from the line.
>>5255947
if I wanted to be jumping all over the place I'd be playing titanfall or tribes. the req system in itself is perpetuating cyber-jewery.
So does anyone have a way to give the halo 5 figures decent articulation? I got Kelly and she can barely move her legs. It's really disappointing how limited the range is.
>>5255882
>halo 4 was the best halo game right behind CE
>>5226235
aight, i got this guy for 7 euros complete with all accesories in very nice condition
>>5215076
such a pity that you can't move the legs
Are the Halo 5 McFarlane's taller than the Halo 4 ones?
I saw Palmer listed as 5-6 inches while Chief, Locke, et al. were listed as 6 inches on the same site. Does the inch make a difference, do they scale with figuarts now or are they still tiny?
>>5267273
I've been buying a couple of HAlo 3 and Reach figures and only the Halo 3 figures are a bit smaller than the newest HAlo figures.
They make the newer figures seem poor, considering the hip articulation on previous figures was so great. Also, interchangable armor.
Also, since i only own midget-muscle-men from the Figuarts line, i really can't say whether they're the same scale or not.
Also also, they'll never be in scale, because Figuarts is a non-scale line and the Spartans stand about 5.5" tall, which means they're 1/15 scale (7' Spartan = 84 inches of armored super soldier. 84/15 = 5.6" toy).
Bought a Halo 3 Elite. Not the sturdiest figure, but stands up just fine. Better than my Chief actually, cause of his loose foot.
So yeah grab a Halo 3 Elite if you need one of some kind. Hands are shit tho.
Does anyone have the new McFarlane Kelly? I have the anniversary Halo 2 Chief and wonder if Kelly and Fred would look good next to him and if they are decent quality for the price.
Shame about Halo 5 though. Story was shit and they didn't utilize Blue Team at all. Everyone just walked around and looked bored.
Anyways, I want to have Blue Team, but I don't want low quality shit. McFarlane isn't the best, I know, but it's inexpensive and there are more options.
>>5268248
I have kelly, and she looks alright (her shotgun looks awful). She would probably look fine just standing there. My main gripes with her is how dull the colors are, and how the helmet is inaccurate to the game and even the art on the box. Also, articulation sucks shit, and i tried to ask that one anon who kept bitching about how great these figures are when you mod them to show me how to improve hers, but apparently he's gone now so i guess he was full of shit or something. Also, don't expect her to hold any of her guns properly. Arms and hands are too restricted. Still, for 10 bucks, it's not the worse thing, though, i surprisingly got more articulation out of the jakks pacific samus figure.
>>5270096
Thanks for the heads up. I found that was a problem with Anniversary Chief too. I can only have him holding the battle rifle in a relaxed stance. I probably would've been a lot better off with getting something else. I'm not posing very much, so they might as well be nicer looking statues instead, but I didn't wanna spend much.
>>5270096
No one said that the newer figures have good poseability. In fact, just the opposite was said.
I don't think anyone's even talked about modifying the newer figures either.
Stop being such a butthurt person who has to lie because you're butthurt.

Kelly can hold her guns in a relaxed state, and i was even able to get her to kind of cock her gun, but I had to warm up the joints for awhile to get to that. If you just want them for a cheap display piece, you probably won't be disappointed.
Here is a pic of her, just so you can have a reference on how she handles dynamic/action poses.

I will tell you what is fucked up with the figures and how to deal with it, if possible. Unless you chop the figures up and run a wire to use as a bendy joint, ain't much that can be done. Like pretty much every mcfarlane ever made, a glorified statue with 30 joints that move 5 degrees.
>>5270364
>It's 10 bucks, dude. You can make that in a quarter of an hour at work
here's your reply
>>5270364
Thanks for proving I'm right that everyone is pretty disappointed with the articulation on the newer figures. I guess i did miss the people speculating on mods to improve it, but no one said it can be improved with a mod.
Still, point is you're lying and making up strawmen over your butthurt.
Also, do those places you linked to show any improvements in the range of motion? if so....
>>5270392
You think i could chop up some parts and replace them with those hobby base/revoltech joints? I just wanted to put big space marine dudes into compromising positions, but that was apparently asking too much. Though, i could have sworn i had a radical spawn figure as a kid that had wicked articulation. Though, i was pretty young so it might have been my imagination. [nospoilers]Spawn will never come back ;_;[toyspoiler]

The first link i sent. Dude talks about how he has been modding figures for years and how great the halo 5 figures are after modding them
>Kelly, Locke, Tanaka, Fred all have +90 degree elbow articulation (Though Fred was badass out of the box, didn't have to mod much)
>Kelly & Tanaka for some reason have "chest shoulder" molding that prevents them from sticking their arms straight forwards to hold say, a pistol, with two hands without looking like a monkey. Fixed that too. (This problem was apparent on the Orange Scout figure from Halo 4 too, idk why...)
>Tanaka's knees can now bend 90 degrees
>Locke/Tanaka improved hipped articulation
I just want to know how to make it a better figure. I don't know what it is about people, but they just seem to refuse showing pictures on how the articulation mods are done, or how much they improve. All they do is talk about how great they are after modding them. Every picture i've seen of the halo 5 figures is either them standing in a relaxed pose, or of a defect.
If i want a cheap halo figure with good articulation, which one should I get? Should I just go scouting for the Reach line or something? I think thats the only one that i've heard good things about.
>>5270246

Being a lying asshole isn't going to get you much help.
No one's taken pictures because you sound like a troll in the first place. Nevermind the fact people are lazy about taking pictures in the first place.
Now, talking about taking pictures of HOW to mod a figure to increase articulation? That's harder, and for many of us, it's just common sense. You cut away at the plastic that gets in the way of the joints. So it'd be like someone taking pictures of how to dig a hole. fuck that.
Just get a sharp knife and start whittling away.
I managed to snag a bunch of that MacFarlane Points stuff on ebay back in 2010 or something, I never see it posted anywhere.
