Product Description
Two powerhouses of pop culture-- McFarlane Toys and Microsoft-- are collaborating to produce Action Figures based on the fantastically popular video game series Halo. From the incredible third entry in the Halo trilogy, comes this awesome 6-inch scale action figure! Order yours now! This Series 2 action figure includes an Tan Spartan Soldier Scout from the hit game series, as well as accessories. Halo is a popular series of science fiction first-person shooter video games developed by Bungie Studios and published by Microsoft. The games are set in the 'Halo universe'-- a science fiction universe created by Bungie Studios exclusively for the series. Halo: Combat Evolved quickly became known as the first 'killer application' for Microsoft's Xbox video-game console when it was released in 2001, achieving both critical acclaim and financial success. Combat Evolved was later published on the PC and finally released for the Mac (for which it was originally developed prior to Microsoft's buying developer Bungie).

The weapon is the wrong size... Posted 06 August 2008
The one reviewer saying it is the right size must work for mcfarlane or something. The facts are its the wrong scale weapon. If you bought a Exclusive Walmart or Gamestop ODST the gun with it is also the same gun but made the right size for these guys. They just goofed & put the smaller scale regular ODST gun with the Scout. Thats the facts next time do your homework before you try to say someone else is wrong.
The other reviewer also admited his leg pops off & on. Who here would like a leg popping off as you pose it? Remember you got to pull outwards to pose alot of different poses which causes it to keep popping out. I have a few that are so bad i can twirl them like a helicopter blade. I bought over 50 you be amazed how many have it so they legs pop off so easy. Some are worse then others. The MC V2 seems to be fine the 5 i have. The EVA/Scout/EOD & few CQB have this issue. The EVA/Scout is the worst % to have this issue. This is from experience opening over 40 of series 2. I love these figures but if people do not speak up how will companies stop doing stuff like this & fix the issues? This series 2 is plagued with issues. Back in the day this company would of had some serious heat on them by the customers. Things change nobody likes to speak up cause there such halo fans. I am to but i do not like defective toys to this extreme. The way things are going series 3 will have even more issues. Mcfarlane makes some nice sculpts but if you really have a clue you know this company has the worst quality control ever.
i don't know what the delio is with ^ guy... Posted 26 July 2008
this thing is great
definately mcfarlane qualty here, especially the attention to scale
i had the leg problem too but the leg easily snaps back in, and it doesn't hinder any movement
the Battle rifle (that's the only gun that comes with it unfortunately) is perfectly scaled
when i say perfectly scaled i mean the following
the imaginary gun s designed for people six feet tall, i.e. "regular people"
as such, it does look a little small in this guy's hands
that being said, it is a teeny bit loose, but the trigger hand easily holds tight, as the trigger guard is not, similarly to the shotgun, carved out
overall the figure is incredably detailed and poseable, complete with a shiny visor we all know and love
as a final unfortunate downside, the SCOUT only comes with a single gun and one grenade, so the only oportunity for weapon variance is if you have more of these guys and/or have an old gundam heavy arms custom 1/100 scale model (for those of you who want your spartans to carr around turrets)
They added the wrong size gun for this! Posted 12 July 2008
Ok this figure leg to crotch area falls out when i pose it sometimes. But why did they include the Regular ODST gun which is tiny to a full size one? They goofed & did not include the ODST Exclusive gun that is the same gun just bigger size to fit in there hands. This company has no QC cause this will be like this for all the figures. You only get that gun to which will not stay in his hand cause the gun is to small to hold. I would not even want the gun used on him looks like he is using a little kids size gun. I think mcfarlane needs to give us all replacement guns for this figure for the huge goof yet again they did. They are scoring big on this license why not get some Quality Control people to make sure the product is right before they send them out. Most companies would give a free replacement part if they goofed or took exchanges for a updated one. Mcfarlane has never done this they jip the buyer & can care less what they think. Nice molds just worst QC i seen in a very long time. The figure looks nice if it is not defective mold or paintjob. I give my figure i got a C- Cause the limb falls off to easy & well cause the gun is worthless! Also why all the false advertising showing the figures come with stuff in the photos but a big chunk of them do not come with what is shown. The gov needs to start cracking down on these stores/companies that do this.
