Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This set contains four Master Chief Kubrick figures in four different colors. The colors include blue, red, green, and clear. There is also a rare black Master Chief chase figure. Sets that contain this figure will not contain the clear figure. In addition, the set also includes weapons for each figure. Included are 4 battle rifles (one per figure) and eight SMGs (two per figure). The set is packaged in a display box that gives a clear view of all four figures and their weapons. Each figure measures about 2.5 inches tall and resembles a large Lego style figure. Although these figures can be taken apart like Legos, I would not recommend it since they are not as durable as Legos.
The overall quality of this set is pretty poor. The paint and detailing work is lack luster and could be seen as down right sloppy. Many paint related defects such as spots and blotches can be found throughout. The legs of some of the figures in my set were also stuck together from when the paint first dried and had to be gently pulled loose.
The figures also seem to have been assembled with little care. The legs on some of the figures are uneven causing them to lean slightly when standing. In addition, some of the armor has also been put on poorly and requires some readjustments. The biggest problem with the assembly is the figures' hands. First of all, it looks like two different types of plastics were used in producing the hands for the figures. One type is a hard plastic, and the other is a softer plastic. Visually there are only slight differences is appearance between the two plastics, but this creates a situation where some figures will have mismatched hands. In addition, the hands are also very loosely put on and can come off easily. This can pose a choking hazard, so these toys should stay away from young children. Care should also be taken to not lose any of hands.
The overall playability of the set is low. They can only really be put in a standing position. The range of motion of the arms and legs are limited by the figure's body armor. The figures are unable to fully raise their arms. In addition, the way each figure holds his gun looks somewhat awkward, especially when holding the SMGs. The lack of enemies also hinders the playability of the set.
This set is definitely geared more towards a collector than a person looking to open up the set and play with the toys. If kept in the unopened display box, the deficiencies of this set are hardly noticeable. Only upon closer inspection can one really see problems. With an MSRP of around $20, I would expect the figures to look just as nice out of the box as they do inside. The bottom line is if you are a collector who plans to just display the figures in the box and never take them out, this set maybe a decent buy. For everyone else, this is a set to probably just avoid all together.
