I am first of all going to say that this is the best arbiter figure ever but just to let you know he does not come with the carbine rifle and is a pain when trying to put the energy sword in his right hand. I'm going to tell you now that the energy sword can be put in the left hand as well if you get it in the right position. I do recomend this figure to any halo collection and any halo fan.

First of all, this Action Figure does not have the Covenant Carbine, just the Plasma Sword. The toy is quite detailed but it's nearly impossible to pose, its articulations are hard to move and the fear of breaking something is a little high. The right hand come with fingers nearly closed so that installing the sword is hard, long and may break the hand.

Really, the Joyride version for Halo 2 is quite better, at least for the articulations... and it's not gold colored...

This Arbiter is great and only comes with the Energy Sword,not the Carbine. He has great stability and can go in poses for me. The Sword I got was easily breakable and was very pointy on the two ends. The left part of the blade near the place where he holds it broke off so now that part's not pointy. His shoulder piece on his arm he holds the Sword with came off. But overall it's a great toy.

This is incredible but there are a few problems:[. First the energy sword will not go in easily and the hand is fragile like his feet but this toy is still cool.

My son loves this toy. It's bit tall but I bought him 2 good guys and 2 bad guys. He' shaving good battles.

okay so i have to admit, after joyride's whole series of poorly articulated elites, i had sworn off ever buying any elite aciton figure again
ever
and so f course fate conspired to spite me and my mom's boy friend got me this
first off, just like to get these two points out of my system
GAAAAAAA, HE'S FREAKIN GOLD, HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SSILVER
GAAAAAAA, THERE'S NO CARBINE, WHY DO THEY ALL ONLY COME WITH ONE GUN?!?!?
ah
that's better
now then
his sword is awesome
every other rendition of it i've seen, from the joyride elite version to the actionclix active camo arbiter version, just fail epicly
the're either too bulky, or they're bent in odd and impossible angles because of the gel-plastic used to make them see thru
this one
not so much
it just works
and forget any fears of not being able to hold the darned thing, his hand has a peg to attatch it and his fingers close so tight around it you need a pencil to pry em open (don't worry, there's no cahnce of damgaing him i do it all the time with my guys when their hands just don't wanna let go)
his articulation?
so insanely good you would almost think he would start running around the room shouting wort wort
the only caveat is his hands
one holds the sword incredably well, but it's a small pain to switch out weapons
the other is just a teensy bit too open to hold any weapon reliably
and just a quick note the scaling on all these guys is exact, i went in game and checked
so, overall, if you can get past the gold armor, this guy is the best arbter you can buy, and i am now seriousl looking foreward to the upcoming combat arness elite

Love the body of the armor it's the best! Like the energy sword and how he looks in halo and halo 2 action figures the first halo he was an elite a golden elite armor with an energy sword of halo 1.The second halo he's the arbiter with an energy sword of halo 2 with the carbine. Now the arbiter looks cool to me.

According to my son, "it is a perfect toy for any Halo fan. All of the pieces never break, the hands and feet move well, and the arms and head move up and down but not side to side. It's an awesome toy!"

This particular Halo action figure is very detailed, but also very fragile (one of the arms snapped off while simply trying to change the pose). The good news is that it shipped from Amazon (not a third party), so Amazon agreed to send another in its place and to pay for return shipping of the defective unit.

Previously I had ordered a Master Chief from the series, and I was very pleased with it. The Series 2 Arbiter...not so much. Sure it looks great, but its points of articulation are the big disappointment. It's hard enough to stand it upright, let alone putting it in any pose you want.
