A week ago I bought an Elite Zealot for $10 and a Helioskrill for $5 at Walmart on clearance.

>>6186529
Dang, now to go to Wal-mart

Looking at the new figures, I'm interested. Definitely want to give them a custom paint job but also wanna wait for reviews after Kelly and Fred.

Nah they'll completely ignore scale and he'll be the same size as a Spartan

>>6186600
The six inch is more literal then scale with this line, after all.

>>6186600
but that elite is taller

>>6186571
Careful, I lucked out. Someone returned them to my Walmart even though they never carried the 6" figures.

>>6186606
Elites are fuckhuge dude. Pretty sure the Mattel Elite is exactly the same size as a McFarlane Elite, which is a different scale.

>>6186620
If the elite could stand straight up it'd only be like, 1.5 CM too small anon, the mattel one.

>>6186634
Regardless, it's not big enough, and it's a lazy oversight

say what you will about the mcfarlane halo toys, but at least their paint texture didn't immediately scream chinese lead-paint knockoff.

>>6186645
True but the same goes for the whole, Spartans also not being 1:12th scale thing.
They're just 6 inch figures, not to scale, which I can deal with myself but can see why it's bullshit.

>>6186620
No, the Mattel one is comparatively bigger. Unless you count the last McFarlane Halo figures (Jul was about the same size).

While I'm severely displeased about the size of the Spartans compared to other lines, I'd at least expect the line to scale with itself.
>>6186665
Ah my bad then, I was just going off the fact that it scaled decently with McFarlane Spartans. Never did pick up Jul, despite my liking the design. Didn't like the character, especially when he was just wasted in the first 2 seconds of Halo 5

>>6186439
>>6186443
These are nice. The sculpt is a bit soft but the articulation looks solid. Definite get.

Spartan IIIs are not as large as the MC.

>>6186800
>>6186620
Also look at the elite's pose in the picture you posted compared to what you're quoting.

>>6186800
>>6186805
All the Mattel Spartans (Spartan IVs) are the same size as that Chief figure. And IV's are smaller than IIIs. And the elite's pose is just slightly more stood up, like that other anon said, the Mattel elite would still be too small.

See now I'm curious what the relative scale should be for the Ghost given how the thread is going.

>>6186434
That's a surprisingly good looking figure. Will buy.

>>6186443
>>6186439

How the hell is this line not dead yet?

>>6186434
>>6186436

>>6187064
It's not mushy.
It's just lacking in paint and using glossy paint/plastic, which washes out the details in photos and strong lighting.

Gotta wonder who's buying this shit.

>>6187083
It really looks like the paint is just so thick. None of the edges are sharp. It's just gross.

are there any noble team figures aside from mcfarlane and play arts kai?

i own the PAKs and like them, but a smaller scale would be nice too

>>6186439
>>6186443
His face is killing me. It looks so bored and sedate. He's gonna look hilarious in action poses.

I never thought I'd say this, but this really makes me long for McFarlane's Halo figures. I did my fair share of complaining about those back in the day, but this really makes me realize how spoiled I was. I didn't realize how bad things could get.

>>6187083
>>6187092
Is it even painted? If it's like the earlier figures the armor is cast in that soft rubbery colored plastic.

Megabloks and ThreeA.

ThreeA's Noble Team was phenomenal, they had some of the best weathering the company's done in a while. I am frustrated that they will likely never finish the lineup, I really wanted a 1/6 Jorge. I think their heavily flawed Master Chief sorta killed interest in the line, which is a shame since the earlier ones, like Carter, are quite good.

>>6187083

Mattel is just fucking retarded when it comes to selling their product and let shit like that be the publics first impression.

In person, the paint... what paint? They look like they're literally like something out of a preschool section.
The proportions look worse in person too, making them look like they're from Little Tykes or Playskool.

I seriously don't get why people would pay money for such a downgraded line.

>>6186620
that image is an weird comparison to make, Spartan IIIs are shorter than IIs, plus that elite is hunched.

>>6186571
>>6186617
of the many wal marts I been to, only one carried any of the new halo stuff that was not mega bloks. Hell they weren't carrying even the last few Mcfarlane waves either when those came out.

Walmart just is not a good place to hit up for halo, unless you luck out and are neart one that has had enough success with the franchise to keep carrying them.

>>6187103
>Mattel is just fucking retarded when it comes to selling their product and let shit like that be the publics first impression.
>let shit like that be the publics first impression.
>the publics

you have to understand Mattel's very flawed mindset. They feel the primary buyers will be kids like always for anything Mattel. They do not understand how the collector market usually works, and can't comprehend that they would get more steady sales with these lines if they would wise up.

In their mind, they can put out crappy prototype photos because they 'know' the 'public' will not be seeing those images anyway. The first time the 'public' in the eyes of Mattel sees their toys will be on a store shelf. Not online.

It also explains why mattel is allergic to preorders, releasing release dates, and so on. They figure collectors are too minor of a demographic to waste money catering to.

>>6186443

>>6188089

Yep, fucking Mattel.
It's amazing they havn't completely gone under and got bought out by a bigger company yet honestly.
And moreover this line actually turned out great considering their standard figure releases.

They're only a step above Mattel shit.

Dude, fuck way off - Joyride figures are solid, last a long time and are well made for the price point (a decade or so ago). Moreover they don't look like skeletons like the Mattel figures and the gun props don't look like sticks.

Lastly they can stand on their own in sick poses unlike the dumbass shit McFargus released.

The only images I foun of the display shows just these, the two other figures in the wave seen up top, the even crappier 12 inch figures, and not very accurate looking hot wheels of the vehicles.

Does this mean absolutely no Boom Co stuff this year for Halo? That is really upsetting to me if so. Those were easily the best thing Mattel was bringing to the table in their Halo brands, easy to repaint into very accurate display props, on top of having far more satisfying performance over Nerf guns.

>>6197624
good point. Toy Fair reminds of E3 in a way, were we see excellent display models and demos and then the commercial version sucks dick

Speaking of which, anyone know if Forge will be getting a six inch figure anytime soon? He's the only Halo character I give a shit about.....

>>6203098
Unlikely. His game came out 8 years ago, and the game was a spin-off. Plus, he's currently dead within the lore (the only thing that could change this is if his daughter finds him alive somehow). If this was a collector line I would think that they would do him eventually but Mattel seems to only be going for characters kids will recognize, which is probably why they're sticking with the first T-rated Halo FPS.

If you skipped the Mongoose, you did yourself a favor. It's not fantastic, and the figure that comes with it isn't either. The helmet doesn't feel like it fits on that body and it screws with the neck articulation.

not him, but he does have a point; that opinion is seriously wrong, case and point: this pic

comparing tomatos to cats here. They are complately different toy types. Lego type toy to actual action figure? At the same bloody show he shows those off he showed off the Destiny stuff which looks a ton better. Sadly they probably will ONLY look good and not have much articulation, but the point is that he still puts out stuff that is unarguably better looking then what mattel has paint wise. Might as well use megabloks to represent everything Mattel puts out, which WOULD be an improvement.

(you)

so how much does McFarlene pay you suck their shitty ass brittle products?

>>6223248
Someone needs to talk Todd into becoming the revoltech of the west at some point.

Anybody have pics of the new hunters? Google is failing me

>>6225037

It'll probably be too small, the joyride figures are a bit smaller than joes.

>>6190159
i agree with you 100%

>>6225037
hunters? from destiny? CTRL+F destiny on the /toy/ catalog.

>>6223439
brittle? A completely different argument then 'looks better'. I personally have not run into any brittle halo figures except for the hands. Those hands were beyond fragile, sometimes it felt like they snapped being looked at.

But looks? again you are being foolish by purposely saying something completely unrelated to the previous problem. I apologize that the only toy line that your favorite show gets has to be either funko or McFarlane's block building line, but you must get over the salt and move on.

no you fookin dunce, hunters from HALO, ya know, cause we're in the halo thread?

>>6225325
You said new hunters, so I was confused, I had no idea there was new hunter figures coming out. I too would be interested in seeing what they look like.

>>6225647
I didn't say shit lol you're talking to two different people here friendo. I, too , don't even know if there are new hunter figures coming out but I figured he's def talking about those big monstrosities

>Pick up Kelly
>Expect the worst QC wise
>>Only thing wrong with her is just the neck being loose, armor is fine
I guess the shit armor QC was just early run stuff. Outside of the butt plate I don't have any issues with her.
Or I just got insanely lucky.
sorry for the low effort shit picture

>>6236545
You have really fucking low standards for good qc then. I can see the calf armor splitting in the photo, and the chest/helmet still doesn't match the rest of the armor.

>>6236557
thats not poor QC, those armor pieces are removable so that is way they are splitting.

>>6236557
>>6236609
Actually he was right, the armor wasn't snapped together all the way, but that was my fault actually.
The rest of the armor not matching is still true, but that's just the rest being flat plastic with small painted details.

>>6236545
I'm happy you're happy man, but I gotta say, that figure kinda looks like shit.

Gotta love this shit folks.

You can tell they're aiming at the fucking 6 year old audience who will smash them into dog shit in the fucking sandbox, forget about them for 12 years and blow them up when they find it again.

Bring back McFarlane.

I was spoiled and used to shit-talk McHalo figures on the reg. If only I could have seen forward into this dark future.

>>6241145
i still have 2 odsts in the boxes :3

the entire Halo franchise is taking a nose-dive. the games, the story, the toys, the art. this series died in 2010 with reach, RIP

>>6249147
That was definitely the feeling I got watching the quality and especially quantity of McFarlane's offerings through the 343 era. that one year before he put out wave 1 of halo 5, he had just a measly 2 figures released both of them the Chief. He really seemed to be playing it safe with the figures he released since while yes Halo 4 and 5 were still popular, but he must have realized no longer popular with the sort of people who really collected his line during 3 and reach.

So, in general, does the Mattel stuff have good QC or are there widespread issues that I need to watch for?

The reason I am asking is because I saw this in the PX today and had to look for where the brand logo was since I didn't want to get burned.

>>6256278
So far the only figures with bad QC was the Ghost's Elite pack in, Fred, and Kelly due to armor falling off.
However I got a Kelly a few weeks ago and her armor was fine so I'm assuming that was an early run issue.

>>6256492
>>6256278
not sure how much bad QC one could expect from mattel stuff aside from limbs falling off like crazy. its not like you are going to get sloppy paint jobs, smudges and crap like that. You need paint for that.

>>6258358
speaking of paint, anyone do a custom paint job of the mattel stuff?
