Really coolDec 05, 2009
I got this toy for my 12th birthday and even though it was a few months ago, I still have a lot of fun with it. Right now it is posed by my E.O.D. spartan. It is very detailed, and the duel maulers are awesome. unfortunately, they don't fit into the right hand, which must be molded for pistols etc. A very cool thing it can do is hold the 1999 Darth Vader lightsaber in the right hand. Also, the interchangeable armor is a nice.
P.S. ignore the ages 14 and up notice. It is as simple as any other action figure. Here is another great Halo toy. Halo 2009 Wave 1 Spartan Soldier EOD

Lovingly detailed but oddly small...Nov 07, 2009

This is the only Halo 3 McFarlane toy I've purchased online. I already had one of this type prior, and suffice to say an attempted customization left me unimpressed with my handiwork, thus I wanted an untampered version.
These are definitely cool toys. The attention to detail and obvious passion the sculptors have for the Halo universe goes without question. That said, I have more nitpicks than acclaim for this toy, which are critiques of all the Spartans in general.
My first issue is scale. When the merchandising for the first two games was designed by Joyride, the figures were all approximately 7 inches tall, which was the perfect scale. McFarlane Toys made an interesting decision to benchmark their Spartans at 5 inches in height. I've just stood this guy up, legs as straight as they can be with balance, and he registers at 5 and 1/8 inches tall, not the 6 given in the product description. What this odd reduction in total scale does is make the weapons, with all their skinny barrels and thin handles, incredibly frail. A good example is the forward grip of the rocket launcher - my efforts to get the Spartan to hold it the way you would hold it in real life have summarily broken that handle off the launcher. A big part of this issue is the hands. It comes as no surprise that the right hands would be sculpted in the 'pulling trigger' gesture, but the plastic on most of the hands is so firm, getting the weapons in there is almost certain to damage that tiny plastic gun. Likewise, I've bent the grip of the SMG belonging to the invisible Chief because his hands are utterly rigid. The hands present another risk - if a hand of your Spartan seems too stiff in its socket, Do Not try to force it. I twisted the left hand clean off my red CQB Spartan simply because the socket was too tight on the wrist pin. I would argue that had these toys been benchmarked at 7 inches tall, these little problems wouldn't be so prevalent.
My second issue is color - I don't know who thought 'snot green' would be a good color for this Spartan, nor do I understand the fluorescent yellow for the one EVA Spartan (or calling a color that's clearly Maroon 'crimson' on the other EVA Spartan); suffice to say somebody in the color-design department at McFarlane Toys needs their vision checked.
But they are cool little guys, and if you're like me you're not so much playing with them - they're decorations. They essentially are trophies for geeks - little symbols of our dedication, and I know I will continue to collect them despite the minor flaws brought on by their size.

Security SpartanMar 19, 2009
By K. Showalter
This is a very good replica of the Spartan Security Armor Varient, as it even includes the little radio on the back. While it comes with dual maulers, I found it a pain to try and get him to grasp them. Overall, he's very flexible, and the joints work out perfectly. I've tried swapping armor with some of my other olive spartans and the system seems to work very well.
 TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!Jan 15, 2012
By master cheif
This product SUCKS!!!! right when I got it his hand fell off right when I took it out of the package. His joints were so loose that he couldnt even stand up or be posed and over all he couldnt even hold his weapons. it just sucks!!!!
