12″ Masterchief

Greetings heroes/citizens.Halo is a huge video game franchise which I think I don’t need to introduce to you. If you let your fingers do some working on your keyboard, I’m sure you will find a website dedicated to Halo. Anyway, back to my world this is a 12 inch Masterchief action figure manufactured by McFarlane Toys. Retail price for this action figure is somewhere around $39.99-$40 something. If you can find a lower price tag than that buy it, don’t think twice.
Packaging; I hate it, because I’m living in a small room with no space to display my toys. I always kept my action figures back in the box, and this type of packaging is not for those B.I.B collectors including me. It’s either you live it on the card or rip it off and put it on your display cabinet.
Design/sculpt; ok, it just a bigger scale of the 5 inch Masterchief. Most of the detail sculpt on the small Masterchief will be more obvious on this version.I compare it to another Spartan Soldier, I can’t remember which box I put my small Masterchief. Anyway you can see how big he is from the pic.Like the small version, this Masterchief came equipped with an assault riffle and a grenade. It can be attached on his back and leg.Really nothing special,in design and sculpt other than the gigantic size.
Articulations; this is the best part. I like the locking joints mechanism (like Revoltech) used for the hips. This will help this heavy giant stands and do some action poses. Other than that, the fingers on the right hand have great articulations. It uses ball joint and swivel joint for the fingers.
Colors; not bad, the armor is in olive drab color with pearl effect. It’s not necessary I think but, what the heck it looks good.Detailing lines were done neatly,and the body base was painted with light black and washed with a darker black. The visor was painted with metallic golden color.
Accessories; just the rifle and a grenade.
