I always wanted these, really badly. But I was at that age where I was super self conscious about having toys so I never got them or asked my parents for them. But now that I don't care it seems I'm a little late. These things seem to have gone up in price insanely (I've only really looked on Amazon and Ebay a tiny bit) and I keep hearing stories about them falling apart. The Halo 5 and 4 figures just don't appeal to me since I like the armor designs of Halo 3 a whole lot more.
Yea I had the halo 3 master chief, it took forever to find him. Sadly he fell apart 2 weeks later, first his ass armor came off, then his legs completely came undone from the torso, then his waist and crotch all came undone. Never played with, only displayed, but I think that goes for all McFarlane toys.
I never owned the 12" ones but just recently I picked up a couple old halo 3 figures MOC, a red EOD and a green Security. Goddamn are the joints garbage, security was fine but EOD is completely fucked none of the joints in his arms work, none. I managed to free his right and left shoulders and at least twist his right elbow into a decent position, the hinge is still fused though, and the left is still fucked right wrist is fine, left is broken and I'm working on pinning it.

Hahhah wow REALLY? I still have my 12 inch master chief in perfect condition, had since release pretty much. How exactly does the armor come off? Even though the figure is fully articulated it always felt more like a statue to me due to its heftiness. I liked to have it next to the smaller light-up cortana.
about the armor coming off, I do remember it happening with the smaller figures with interchangeable armor. Had an eva trooper where the shoulder pads wouldn't stay on

Not that anon but the chest and shoulder armour were interchangeable with the other 12" Spartan figures but pretty much nobody ever did it.

ah right I always assumed you can't change the armor since it's Chief and not a multiplayer spartan
>>6292515
Apparently you can change the heads as well with those 1/6 helmet packs that McFarlane also released. No chest or shoulder armour which sucks.
I only ever owned Chief, so I never bothered with any of that.

yep same. The 12 inch is too big of a size for collecting random spartans honestly, but it's a pretty good size for mc
did like multiplayer spartan line in the normal scale tho
