UGH!
this is really annoying
so far, of the 9 guys i've baught, only the brutes have been correctly labeled with their proper weapons (a gravity hammer for the hammer chieftain, and dual spikers for the stalker)
which is naturally a pain for people like me who buy these guys for the variety of weapons
UGH!
over it now
obviously, this guy does not come with an AR (assault rifle) tho he does in fact posses a beam rifle
(oh the irony, for those of you who play Live)
instead he comes with a grenade as a second "accessory"
both have pegs to easily attatch to him
in addition, the shoulders and helmet are removable (at least, the shoulders are, i'm not adventurous enough to try removing his head...)
the beam rifle fits well in his hands, but it is a little more awkward on his back, in that the crystaline rounds that power the rifle push it off the peg
regardless, he still is incredably well detailed, a fact McFarlane is known for
uncommon for McFarlane tho, he moves
and he moves very
very
well
the joints are a little stiff right out of the box, but after some vigorous moving, they loosen a teensy bit, allowing for neat poses and cool play, without that annoying flimsy joint common in other figures
in addition, he just plain looks awesome in my opinion, with a nice set of directly contrasting colors in his white armor and black undersuit
be warned tho, his shoulder guards can and will obstruct his arms vertical movement, meaning he can't point to the side or form a T
(sorry to those of you who like to make youtube vids of action figures performing the YMCA)
overall, he is fantastic, arriving quick, looking great
and he's ready to pwn your little brother
all at only 5 inches tall

The product did not arrive in the specified time that it was suppossed to; and when it did finally come, it had a broken thumb on the right hand. Then, to top it off, I sent an e-mail concerning this to the seller and never got a response. I don't think I will be ordering anything else from this company. I was very disappointed and so was my son...it was a birthday gift for him.

Well, it took a while for it to arrive, so I was pretty psyched. But after reading some reviews, I was a little cautious with removing it from the box. The beam rifle was a little difficult to get into position, and I noticed the thumb was loose. It seemed pretty durable, but I was wrong. Less than thirty minutes out of the box, the thumb broke off. It came out like a peg, so it's stuck back in there. It kind of makes me angry, but I figure I'll glue it back in. Nevertheless, it's fun to pose.

We just bought this toy today and found it to be of annoyingly poor quality. First off, the ankle joint is stuck twisted, giving him a permanent clubbed foot stance. Secondly, the rifle cannot fit into the right hand properly and he can only "shoot" sideways. Thirdly, the leg joints are cock-eyed not lining up correctly, and also the torso joint is floppy.

All these problems were very frustrating to my nephew, who used his allowance money that he worked hard for, only to get a toy of very inferior quality. Needless to say he was very upset, and I can't blame him. I am surprised to find this lack of quality in a McFarlane product, and we will probably not buy anymore of these Halo 3 action figures again. The only reason that we gave it a "2" instead of a "1" is because it does look good in the box, but that's about it.

Let me first start out by saying that this is a great figure to look at. He is a detailed figure; you can see all the lines and grooves of his armor and weapons.
Though he may look detailed, his left leg is loose beyond all imagination. The leg is loose due to the fact that the joint that connects the leg to the body wants to fall out. Since the leg is so loose, it is almost impossible to get him to stand, let alone pose him in a variety of positions. Also, the holes behind his torso armor piece is not deep enough, therefore when you try to put in the peg for his grenade, it can and will most likely fall out while you're trying to pose him.
In conclusion, this figure is great to look at, but I advise that you buy him at a toy store and open him up on the spot as to prevent getting a figure with a leg that's as wobbly as a noodle.

These has such loose leg to waist joints you will feel like this was a realistic humpty dumpty toy you got to keep putting back together. Series 1 was complained about how tight they are so they made them so loose the stuff just pops in & out so easy. Hell some even fall out without even trying.

I thought it was pretty neat that much of the armor types for multiplayer was released. I didn't play with it so much as it just stands there. Worth the money if you play the game enough though I suppose. The only thing I noticed is that the torso doesn't seem to move, or to want to, so he looks a little hunched

I got this for my 12 years old son for Christmas. As soon as he opened the package and put a gun in the right hand, the thumb came off. He didn't yank or put extra force to put the gun in the hand or anything, just came off. So we sent it back, and thank you for the Amazon's quick refund system, we've got a new one soon. But the second one is not so as good as we expected. My son said that the right hand fingers were now so tight and it's difficult to attach the gun, the grenade doesn't go deep enough in the right leg ( it's sticking out. His other soldier Hayabusa has a grenade but it doesn't stick out ),the one of shoulder pad doesn't stay attached and it doesn't stand firmly.
I was thinking to send it back again but it's too much trouble to pack it up and pay another $1 fee for UPS pick-up ( yes, the return package didn't fit in the pick-up box, so I have to bring in our town's UPS pick-up store and they charged me $1), and there is no guarantee to get a decent one. Maybe this Eva Armer is all cheap made or something or we are just unlucky to get defective ones twice. So I don't recommend anybody to get one.

It's actually pretty good. It came before the estimated delivery date, which is good. After reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to try it out. At first, when I took it out. I was nervous. After a couple seconds of GENTLY turning the joints, they loosened a bit. The Beam Rifle is really cool. It's really detailed, but the crystalline rounds that power the rifle kinda get in the way when you try and put it on his back. he comes with a grenade and 2 pegs. The armor is kinda stiff when trying to pull it out at first. But they can get a tad loose. Which put at the point in which I super glued the shoulders in. on his trigger finger, the index finger is pointed out, like he's ready to shoot. But it can make weapon a bit floppy. Otherwise, great detail, great figure, I would recommend this figure to any collector. 5/5 figure.

Well I have to say I was very satisfied with this figure. I was a little worried that I would he would break as soon as I took him out of the packaging becuse of all the review that call it a Brocken figure. But mine was just fine, there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. Although I was expectin him to come with an assault rifle and a plasma pistol. Nevertheless he is a great figure, and looks great if you pose him properly. A warning though, if you are going to buy this figure you should be careful, because judging from the other reviews, a majority of these figures are deffected in one way or another.
