1.0 out of 5 stars War Chieftain Breaks Too Easily, January 7, 2009

A real world story ...

Because of an unbelievable holiday price, I purchased two of these, one as a Christmas gift for my 12 year-old son, and one for the collectible value later on.

On Christmas morning, it took less than 5 minutes for the War Chieftain's left hand to break off as my son was trying to position it. It does appear to be a movable joint. While my son is generally careful with his toys, I assumed he must have done something wrong for it to break so quickly.

In an effort to make it look like a "super repair" job, I decided to secretly substitute the extra one I bought with the broken War Chieftain. I opened the package and looked at the left hand. It appeared movable. I gently tried to position it as he had intended (so it could hold the weapon). As soon as I did, I could just tell the turn had twisted the plastic and not actually moved at the joint. With one more movement it would be just as the one my son had .... oops, too late. Yes, it had broken just as the first one had, and I did it to the second one.

This is not durable as a toy. It should only be purchased if you want to display it as a collectible with minimal handling, not actually play with it.

Unfortunately literally 10 seconds after getting the Brute out of the package his hand fell off while I was trying to pose him. I guess I just had a dud unfortunate but what are you going to do.

This Brute Chieftain is a very large, detailed Halo 3 figure. His helmet is removable, and he can be posed with or without the Fuel Rod Gun. However, unlike the Halo 3 Series 3 - Elite Combat Soldier, his shoulder armor is not intentionally removable. It is difficult to pose the Chieftain with the Fuel Rod Gun, with the barrel parallel with his line of vision. Its also hard to get his left hand to touch the gun while the right hand is gripping the handle. Also, when I made the right hand grip the handle, the trigger broke off. I couldn't see a way to get the hand to grip the handle with the trigger there.
However, the detail on this toy is amazing. Although he has a lot of weight above his waist, the large feet help balance the Chieftan in many different positions.
