From the Manufacturer
Thought to be the last surviving SPARTAN soldier, Master Chief possesses a unique trait that has made him both a hero and symbol of hope in the eyes of humanity, and a “demon” in the minds of his enemies. That trait? A rare combination of skill and luck that has seen him through many battles, including the destruction of two HALO installations

A great addition to any collector or fan
Now to be fair this is a mass produces 1/6 scale version of the Master Chief character from the Halo franchise. Being a mass produced toy in this price bracket it will not compare to offering from companies like Hot Toys or Soldier Story. But its not supposed to, and in its context is a great figure. The detail is nice and articulation is pretty good leading to the ability to pose the figure in a variety of positions.

The paint is fair, but pretty good considering the price of this figure. I was slightly unhappy with the helmet visor paint, but the rest of the figure was pretty good. Its worth mentioning that there are two more versions of this figure. There is a blue Spartan and a brown one. The blue figure is exclusive to Walmart and the brown to Toys R Us.

A bigger version of the 5″ figures
My only gripe with this figure are some flaws in the design. The ankles weaken and the figure falls over if not properly balanced. They used a click-lock version of the ankle joint on the 5″ figure. I believe they should have used an ankle similar to the 7″ figure joyride studios produced for the Halo 2 figures. My other complaint is the right hand. The left hand is a sculpted hand with great detail, but the right hand is multiple joint hand that looks awkward. Its supposed to allow you to get a more realistic grip for the AR, but the fingers are weak and the rifle fits loosely. I believe they also should have used a sculpted right hand as well.

Those being my only complaints, Im still satisfied with the figure. Its a good price and very durable figure with a lot of detail. It compliments any room (if you’re a Halo fan). However if you’re skiddish about having things like this out in the open, this MC doesn’t easily blend in to any shelf environment.

Finally
Finally a 12inch master Chief at a really good price, this is a great figure, the paint job is pretty good, although I may add a few details of my own to it’s over all paint, the helmet particularly. You can actually pose this figure the way you want, which is a great step for McFarlane Toys, so you’re not stuck with a statue all ways looking in the wrong direction.

I would really give it 4.5 stars for the lack of detail in the paint, the small ones McFarlane made have just a bit better paint job……

Product Description

The Halo 3: Action Figures Series 3: Jackal Major is set in 6 scale, features multiple points of articulation and weapon accessories, and is presented in clamshell packaging. The Jackal Major is clad in sparse silver-black armor, and is equipped with a plasma pistol and energy shield, the latter of which indicates rank via color. The Jackals vulture-like head is situated at the end of a ropey neck, the bristly plumage indicating male gender. Imbued with honed reflexes and heightened senses, Jackals fare especially well as scouts or snipers. Originally recruited as a replacement for the Grunts, the Jackals minimally adhere to the Covenant cause, and will plunder for their own benefit whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Customer Reviews

awesome figure!!!!
When i ordered this figure i thought i was making a mistake but when it got here i was really amazed at how perfect this figure is. His poseability is just outstanding to a figure like this. What is really amazing is how durable he is. I’m not saying to drop him down the stairs and see if he made it though. In all this figure is just a perfect edition to any halo collection and any halo fan. P.s. the plasma pistol is really small in person,be careful not to lose it.

Fine detail, stubborn in posing…
The jackals are one of the most annoying enemies in the video games, and this toy has brought that quality to life. Yes, it’s highly detailed and attentively sculpted. It’s also been the hardest of all the Halo 3 figurines to put in a balanced stance. The feet are really tiny and the shield is awkwardly heavy; I find I have to constantly let him lean backward onto a Brute. This is a model that could have greatly benefited from a base, much like the Drone. He’s also the strongest indicator that the sculptors sacrifice consistency in scale for a satisfactorily durable model – stand this guy beside a Spartan, and you’ll know. His eyes are about level with the Spartan shoulders. In the game they’re no taller than the bottom of his ribs (same with Drone, they’re way too big compared to human units). And I know it’s a trivial matter; I just like things to be consistent.
