There isn't too much you can do with a figure of a hologram. Since there can't be any real articulation this toy is basically a statue. But it is a good one, and since there are not joints or moving parts it has some great detail and a nice layout. There are three LEDs in the base that give her a nice blue glow, which is a nice feature. the switch is on the bottom of the stand though which means you have to turn the figure over to turn it on, which isn't bad or hard, just a fact.

Being made of plastic the durability on this toy is fine, so long as you stick it on your shelf and don't fool with it too much. A heavy hand, or a child, would have no problem breaking little Cortana into a couple pieces.

This is a very life like figure.....She is a collectible ,but I took her out for daily viewing...She sits on my night table ,so I can see her every day...Lucky Master Chief :)

Nice, and only Cortana figure from McFarlane so far.

Get it if you can!

I was a little disappointed that the figure didn't actually light up. It just had 3 small lights that shined on the figure.

Cortana is awesome, and unfortunately this little statue does her no justice.

When I saw "light-up base," I got it in my head that the white area at her feet lit up. Not so. There are three little LEDs in the front, which light her unevenly and at a weird angle, bringing out the seams on the plastic on the side of the statue.

Getting the battery in also proved to be an adventure. The screw to the battery compartment would not come out, and I ended up disassembling the entire base and having someone else turn the tiny screw while I held wires in place with one hand and pushing the other end of the screw out with a flathead screwdriver. In case you're wondering, that's why I gave it a "2" on education, because you'll learn a little bit on electrical work. *sighs*

Once you do get past all that though, the statue does look pretty decent, and makes a nice addition as a night light for the kids or, in my case, a cool accessory in your man cave.

So I got this thing and opened it up. It has a lightup base I had to see in action. Well, that was a disappointment. There are 3 LEDs aiming at the figure, and they are all to dim to do much of anything. They are slightly different colors if you look carefully too -- leading me to think some guy in a shop was just soldering in LEDs from a bluish grab bag. I don't know how they got that picture for Amazon, it doesn't look like that unless you put it in a special lighting stage of some sort. I ended up setting the thing in front of a lamp, which does an okay job I guess... but don't expect the lightup base to do it for you. This is a novel idea for a statue that failed miserably IMO.

The durability seems good for a statue though. It is a nice rubbery thing that won't break easily.

I bought this as a collector's item for my husband, as we named our daughter Cortana. It's perfect. I wish they made more Cortana stuff.. (hint hint!)

Anybody who plays Halo should have their very own Cortana statue. The statue takes three AAA batteries. The LED's are super bright which reflect off the statue in a bluish color which gives you the impression are looking at a hologram.

this cortana figure is very detailed and makes a great collectible its a statue not a action figure i dont know how durable this figure is i have not taken it out of the box yet all halo fans should have this figure

now this doll is definatly fun at parties, not only is it the envy of many, but when lite it casts this awesome sillouette on the ceiling, very cool, but you WILL be spendin some money on batteries haha!
