>>6399685You know, i was actually thinking of getting the early figures for their guns too. my TRUs has the older wave on clearance for about half price and they have a 15% off coupon for clearance stuff that will apply to them.
I'd go for those, if i were you, but I can't speak for their details.
Since this guy came out, i'll probably buy whatever new stuff they release from here on out.
As for his weapons, it's basically replica tier, as far as i can tell.
They actually managed to give them deep barrels and the appearance of rifling too. Great molding and a lot of nice detailed paint apps.
Overall, I'd probably put these figures with McFarlane's best in the early 00s. Amazing paint and sculpted detail just like from back then. Odd articulation, but this time they're sculpted to be less dynamic and that actually makes them more fun to pose around.
If they had better hips, like just adding a swivel piece where where the ball joint connects to the hips (like the Halo 3 figures), they'd be fantastic toys.
Oh, and the gun is massive, so normal sized hands will have trouble holding it even in 7" scale.
