>>8495756McFarlane's Halo line was 2008 - 20013 or somewhere around that. 2014?
Whenever McFarlane was ending their Halo line was truly their lowest point, since paint has been scaled back and so was the articulation. Also, the sculpts were pretty wonky for a while, since they were transitioning to 3d modeling instead of traditional sculpts.
Either way, no one really exceeded what McFarlane did back then, at least for collector lines.
