Just got these guys in the mail, and they are... Pretty good
Overall, I like them. I don't regret buying them (even with the aftermarket price). However, they aren't without flaws.
A lot of the figures seem to have problems holding their weapons in a convincing way (and this may be a problem across the Spartan Collection), but it seems to me that the root of the issue is:
1.) no trigger finger hands. Now this might be me being more accustomed to G.I. Joe Classified, but not having a hand with a finger to loop into the trigger guard is a little awkward to me, not to mention it results in a less stable grip
2.) little to no waist swivel. I accept that the arms and chest are too bulky to hold the weapons straight (hell, the cosplay folk often have the same issue). But there isn't anything physically stopping waist rotation. Leaving the figures a little stiff without it
And make no mistake, these guys are still awesome, sculpts are solid, I love the way you can peg the weapons on the figures, chrome visors will never not be cool. But ignoring problems doesn't make them no existent.
