I have been/still am a avid collector of Mcfarlane Halo 3 figures, having way more than I want to think about. I am really happy with the line (as far as collecting/displaying), even the LE's, like the Recon Grifball and the hard to get Halo points Gold chief. IDK, when that line was going, it was a fun time IMO for collecting them.
Now, I don't necessarily dislike the Reach figure line, but I've been somewhat dissappointed. I can say the primary reason is the lack of quality control I have seen when sorting through them. I must have searched through about 40 Jorge figures before I found one worthy of purchasing, because alot of them had twisted limbs, the legs looked like they were place on wrong, etc. I think the worst QC'ing I've seen is with the Emile figures. I cannot tell you how many horrribly painted helmet skulls I've seen, one wasn't even on the visor! Even the ones that were painted correctly had messed up limbs.
Eh, my buddy got me an Emile figure today, and it's impecable! He searched and made sure it looked good, and I can tell you it looks awesome. Overall, I just don't "feel" it with the new line. The overall quality is killing me and I don't really care to get anymore Reach figures. I really wanted to get a Noble 6, but I'm having the same exact problems.
It's just amazing that considering the extent they went with the halo 3 line, with every other accessory in the game being put with a figure, I've never seen such a lack of concern for a figures appearence and packaging....
