 An undeniably cool toy July 19, 2008

I had already bought a couple of McFarlane Halo figures before I bought this one, so I already knew that the articulation and presentaion (armor detail) of the ODST would be pretty good. However, I've found that each McFarlane Halo figure has their own unique fault to them. Some can't stand up on their own very well. Others have limbs that fall off easily. And others have armor plates that should just be ignored, they fall off so quickly. The fault of this ODST figure is that he can't hold his weapon very well. Sure, he can hold it at his waist or mid chest, but he can't maneuver his arms around the chest plate so that he can look through the scope of his battle rifle. There are other flexibility issues in his waist and legs, and they are all because of the armor. This is bothersome, but the way that the ODST is presented, with incredible detail, including his height which is a head shorter than his Spartan Super-Soldier comrades, is very impressive. Overall, this figure has some articulation issues, but is an otherwise incredibly enjoyable action figure and desk prop.

I love mine. The Mcfarlane Halo 3 toys are not as durable as many people would like. But they make up for it in detail and accuracy to the source material.
This ODST is arguably my favorite of the bunch so far, neck to neck with my steel colored CQB Spartan that I love to run around with in the game as well.
The detail, and paintjob is just superb. And like others have said, his scale in relation to the Spartans is great. It's really nice to see the regular UNSC soldiers represented in a set. Without looking so... dorky like in the old Halo I figures from years ago.
Hoping to get some UNSC pilots, regular troopers, and hey... who else wants one of those awesome female Dropship pilots!!! =)

I bought this for my son, on his 12th Birthday. He was totally stoked. He is a huge HALO fan, and we hit a home run with this one. It sits on his TV when he plays HALO.

As Comic Book Guy would say, "This is not a 'toy'...it's a scale model replica."
Yet even given that, the McFarlane Halo figures are becoming notorious for their lack of pose-ability and general difficulties in gun-holdingness.
Such qualms aside, this is an amazingly great looking figure.
It trumps the Spartan ODST by a mile in regards to detail/"coolness."
The accuracy of the figure is not appreciable in online photos; had I not seen it in person, I'd probably slough it off in favor of another Stalker.
This is quite possibly the pick of the litter in this release.
I've seen almost all of them in person - this is a ringer.
 A little less than thrilled.... August 18, 2008

I love the ODST's. I think they're some of the coolest looking characters in the Halo games and I was really excited about FINALLY getting one for my collection shelf. The good news is- the character looks very cool. He's even shorter than the Chief- so it looks good scale wise. The bad news is- they did a TERRIBLE job with the pose joints. The legs can't move. The arms don't move well enough to even hold the gun. The gun is too small- so small you can't even swap it with one of the MC guns for variety- it's just not possible. The gun has a hole in it for the peg which- BTW - doesn't even fit in his back so you can't even mount the gun that way.
In the End
Very cool character done as a very poorly constructed figure. Don't bother unless you're a ODST freak (like me).
