>>8258582The articulation wasn't better.
The removable armor just gave them more leeway, so it's like one foot away from the rest of the body, instead of being right against the body.
Looks fucking stupid.
Size is terrble. They were literally just 6", instead of actually having a scale.
The only positive is that their weapons were modeled to actually be held by the figures.
That's it.
The fact that they're larger figures and have less detail than the McFarlane stuff is mind boggling to me.
>>8257894McFarlane was basically just cutting his losses by the end of the license. They were producing the bare minimum of what their contract entailed, so they wouldn't have to pay any penalty fees. They didn't bother to reup because it was no longer selling anymore. I don't think anyone would have bothered with the license at that point, except for Mattel being desperate to get any popular boys license.
Jazwares got a hell of a deal from MS, considering how unpopular Halo merch is now.
