McFarlane Toys Halo Reach Series 2 - Kat Action Figure Cyan
Customer Reviews
Wow, McFarlane's reverting to type. This action figure has even less articulation than the regular ones, one wrist doesn't bend, nor do the toes (which is frusting enough on its own but when you get one like mine where the feet are swapped left and right...it makes it difficult to pose her)In addition, the paint is..lacking. There are whole portions of her arm (the robot one) that are primed for paint but aren't given the silver coat to finish them off. Even the connection joint of the robot arm to her suit is sculpted, but its not painted, leaving it dull and black. By contrast her armor is very clearly cast in that color rather than painted, namely because it's SO bright on all the pieces that it shows through even the black paint. While this leaves her very vibrant, it detracts from the immense detail of the sculpt, which is, like all McFarlane pieces, quite detailed and accurate. This creates another issue however with her arm. In making it skeletal like the character's...it's...fragile. Mine came with a deformed shoulder joint, and while she hasn't broken, it is very obvious her arm will not last to heavy play. In addition, her shoulder pads attach to pegs, rather than haveing pegs that go in holes. This means her pads cannot be swappped with any other figure. Given that Carter has one shoulder pad thats the exact same as hers, I'm left oblivious to why this change was made. Final problem: her legs. Her feet aren't articulated, only her ankles, meaning she can't adjust her toes for posing support like the other figures. Also, her knee pads aren't removeable, and her shins are sculpted like elite legs, or dog legs for those unfamiliar with the game. They form something of a lightningbolt shape that leaves her curvatious but...dispraportionate. I hope and pray that this is a rough draft for future female spartan bodies, because there is so much work that needs to be done. In short, only buy this if you are collecting noble team, because sadly, it will NOT stand up to play. and even the Emile figure can stand up to play, so that is a big old FAIL to you McFarlane....By Buy only if you're collecting Noble Team
