Feels like they're using Master Chief as a test subject on what they want to do with their figures for articulation.

[@tobbeborislyba]

They should just try to make a gundam RX 78 2 joint on the legs, I'm pretty sure it would look great, same to the arms.

[@RANDOMPEPSIBOTTLES]

Thing about the series 1 knees is that it made it look like the undersuit within the armor. The new knee design takes away that detail.

[@Goodberry]

I replaced my plastic torso with a foam one (made by me) and now it moves soooooo well.

[@MrChickenMemes]

I really think they should get the series 3 figure and give it a chrome visor, the battle damage would look good with it.

[@SargeJ117]

I agree the torso piece should have more range without removing the floating piece, and that there should also be a lot of improvement with the knees and maybe a bit more accessories. But I don’t really mind having a long neck, that’s not the most important part of the Chief in my opinion.

[@Wayfaerers]

Like I said in an earlier video the wave 1 Chief is still my favorite, but this one looks really good too. I also just finished the game on legendary and I absolutely loved it. The character interactions and villains were all great, and I liked the somewhat more personal story though it retreads some of the same ground as Halo 4 (which I also liked story wise). I am extremely optimistic about Halo's future.

[@tobbeborislyba]

Really hope we get a Halo 4 chief on the Spartan collection.. (we are probably going to get it soon considering we have halo 4 Palmer)

[@TheLocus343]

Series 1 chief Is still my favorite one, It has the correct neck height, It has the silver brush which looks great, also the series 3 and 4 looks so tall and that makes him look weird, if the series 4 one has the scale and height of the series 1 It would be my favorite one, (also i blackwashed my series 1 chief and looks amazing), the knees of the series 3 and 4 looks even worse than series 1 so yeah, i keep the series 1 chief

[@Mr.Grimm99]

Also i would recommend the series 2 master chief. The series 2 has less loose issues than the series 1 but i was unfortunate enough to get one with a loose leg but I'm fixing that. One other thing i noticed is one thing i didn't like about the series one is that his feet were always at a angle and you couldn't get them straight but on the series 2 and from what i can tell the other ones the feet are straight

[@lulubuu8586]

The series 3 chief is still my favorite one, and I don't regret owning it. The campaign on the other hand is definitely my favorite one, story-wise. I feel like they could've gone without the whole open-world gimmick, feels unecessary.

[@thatboiht]

Wym “the campaign one” all versions of chief are from the campaign lol

[@daviddamasceno6063]

I like the Infinite campaing a lot, and I think the open world was a fun and welcome change of pace. I like what 343 brought to the series but I think that since they took over, Halo has embraced it's sci-fi side a little too much. It's roots has always been about war heroism, and I miss that special flavor. Infinite, despite not without it's flaws, offered a good amount of both, in my opinion, and I had a great time with the game. Damn good time! 343 has something very special in their hands now, and if they can bring a little more of that war epicness feeling they can really make a badass sequel.

[@timothyblackburn82]

Great review as always, extremely intuitive and well thought out comparison review. Love your work!!! LOOOONG time fan, never stop!! (And yeah, Jazwares would definitely benefit from consulting with you, I have all of the figures and you have all of the same gripes+solutions I too have worked out)

[@jeanlucacanomontiel4824]

Anthony, are you going to review the CE figure from the 20th anniversary two pack? Question of the day: Not a lot happens in the campaigns story, they seem to have a long term plan for the campaign.

[@DeadAzCustoms]

Been following you for years still by far my favorite reviewer, keep up the great work.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks, will do!

[@DankBean]

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day

Just beat Infinite before I came here to watch lol I loved the campaign. I enjoyed the open world and all the stuff you could do. I wish they’d do an Elite.

I'm just glad the chrome visor is back

[@ItIsTaeee]

Those knees are scary.

[@hannahsaphire7643]

I really like the look of the battle damage with chrome visor. Jazwares should definitely consult with you and fix those atrocious knees. Great review Anthony❣️

[@Mr.Grimm99]

I got two of the master chiefs from series 1 and 2 and for both of them i had to modify the body and by modify i chopped out a lot of plastic to get that torso joint working but it paid off. I hate when they give figures like this a good torso joint but it's blocked by something that could have been easily resculpted not only does that mid abdomen area block it but the plastic under his chest blocks it as well

[@sockfullofsoup3165]

i think series one master chief is my favorite i have it on my shelf and it just looks so cool to me but the series 4 one looks good to i might get it cause my others ones foot broke so im holding it with sticky tack. i thought the halo infinite campaign was really fun and i liked it i liked the weapon and chiefs dialogue but i will say it was really confusing they left a lot out and took out a lot of stuff from halo 5 when it comes down to story

[@troloinkto]

i used Tamiya Thiner to remove the black paint on the torso of the Series 1 figure. so if you wanted the whole wave 3 version cleaner, or the wave 3 head on the wave 4 you can use that kind of thiner to remove the paint, it looks like both series use the same color for the plastic

[@simplynotthere4726]

series 2 I think is objectively the best campaign is fine, gameplay is solid, repetitive sections with not enough enemy variation and the story feels less like a sequel and more like a soft reboot

[@raulvillarroel7316]

We realy need Jazwares people to watch this vídeo!!!! Let's make it happen AnthonysCustom's followers and fans!!!

[@Alienated29]

Vectorman sure has changed a lot over the years

[@GhostySkate]

I loved the game and I have the series 1 figure. I wonder what are your thoughts on the campaign?

[@georgerollinmud5953]

I recently picked up series 3 master chief & noble six. Yep its the knees & torso articulation tht was a bummer for the figs

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

The neck is so bad mate.glad I got series 1 chief

[@Reyma777]

I might get this figure. At 7.5 inches his scale should be accurate to 7 inches neca gears of war figures.

[@peepingeyes5005]

Could you customize the torso to be more flexible? Trim down the grove?

[@user-ek8cg7tm5s]

There’s a chief out right now that looks like series 3 but with a reflective visor it’s on eBay. It’s supposed to be a Walgreens exclusive i just ordered it brand new 🔥🔥 it’s the best one out the 4 series.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I believe it still has the long neck and bad knees. Trying to find one locally.

[@silvarknite7]

PS, I really like the clean look of this one over the shiny metal drybrushing the other ones have. Halo I. No spoilers. love the moment to moment narrative and characters. Only about 70% done so far

[@Z-Romello]

They should make a better version of the 12 inch Chief figure. Like an exactly copy of the 7 inch figures, but 12 inches ( duh )

[@troloinkto]

the wave 1 Master Chief was perfect, i applied it a blackwash and it looks fantastic, the wave 2 on the other hand looks disappointing, those figures don't have the knee articulation from what i've seen... i bought the wave 2 master chief just to repaint it

[@tundak630]

I think the ideal version would be a series 1 body / neck but with the series 4 color. Series 1 and 2 has a nasty lime green color.

[@masterchief6106]

Loved the campaign

[@silvarknite7]

This is the one I ended up picking up ^^

[@WiseLuck117]

I think it’s just his neck it seems to be longer than it should be.

[@Spike-13]

I think when you made your series 1 video they started selling faster; there was a stack of them on clearance at Walmart and I kinda slept on them thinking they wouldn't run out. After your series 1 vid I ran down there and there was only 1 left!!!👀

[@lucasduran2577]

Thank god I saw this review, I was thinking of replacing my series 1 chief for this one, cause it have more accurate colors, but those knees look like crap and the neck is long af

[@agnitbanerjee1115]

Dope

[@j0hn00]

Here's an odd question for you. Is it possible to put the head and neck of this version onto the body of the series one version? I think I prefer the series one overall, but I really like the extra articulation the newer head has

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not without some relatively serious work

[@RandoMan07]

Two things. I just got this today for $15 on clearance so with no connection to Halo this video helps a lot. Now for a question. What is the hand for that has 2 fingers pointing? I just can't seem to figure it out.

[@thatboiht]

Haven’t seen the GameStop exclusive yet but feel like this is the cleanest version of the infinite chief might get em on eBay. That’s just my opinion tho

[@ryantheanimator1156]

How come the Jazzware Halo figures aren't being sold on BBTS?

[@maverick7730]

I wonder if it’s worth trying to mold a mold for the keyed abdomen piece and make your own copy out of soft, flexible resin to allow torso articulation

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Probably

[@New2Kendo]

The one I have desperately been trying to find is the Yoroi Armor Spartan, I refuse to turn to eBay or similar site yet, but I am not far off

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It just released. You'll find it.

[@gesie0504]

Why they can't do the Waist ARTICULATION Right? 😔

[@bradencreech6630]

They should just make the belly shell a soft rubber it would increase the articulation a little but not a whole lot it would be better than what they have now

[@xhypegamer9246]

When I bought this later when I unboxed it, it wasn’t used but had cracks on his head and the armor pads on the arm is to far out and the black thing in the middle looks way different then your

[@jasonwonkawich5275]

The Series 1 figs available @ retail, or just Amazon/eBay? I know my Walmart is flooded with the other two, so depending on price I may have to settle for this guy here. Lemme' know, and tks for the in-depth comparisons!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

They were available at retail. Still are if you're lucky.

[@troloinkto]

idk if it's a good thing or not, but here in mexico we got almost everything after a year or maybe more, so the 6.5 figures came two weeks ago, and i could get the Series 1 Master chief

[@impossiblepie]

I know 3.75 isn't your preferred scale but the 3.75 halo line is great especially the warthog, have you seen ? Wonder if you've thought about getting it.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I've seen them. No plans to buy at this time. Look nice though.

[@topminion554]

The halo infinite campaign is cool

[@DPCHM0D]

I have the series 1, and it doesnt have any of that grey brushing on it :/ looks more like the series 3 one xD

[@super3vil710]

After seeing this figure I think I'll stick with my series 1 Chief

[@Tf_hazbin]

Fun fact the series 3 one is based off of the Halo show

[@AnthonysCustoms]

How?

[@Tf_hazbin]

@@AnthonysCustoms look up a picture of the design for the series and look at the figure and compare the visor is the same the battle damages the same

[@wallahmarang1781]

The visor on mine is completely matte, is it a factory fault or a variant?

[@timothyblackburn82]

From what I've seen it's varies on batches, mostly there still be a slight "shiny" finish but rare batches might look not as shiny. Irritating for those who only obtain the matte.

[@Megatron118x]

I loved the campaign; ending made me tear up :’] Can’t wait to see what comes next. Also, despite its QC issues, I think series 1 is still the best due to the neck proportions, knees, and dry brushing. Although I’m eager to see how the two-pack version with CE Chief turns out, maybe that’ll be the best.

[@pliantimpala7858]

Jesus Christ!!! If you take the back tiny piece off, make sure you take it off carefully. Mine basically disappeared into thin air, found it half an hour later.

[@noosedogg7845]

Eh idrc if they keep making new master chiefs they’re probably just using him to experiment. I do like the look of all the other names characters so I think they know what they’re doing

[@gavindixon15]

I still can’t get a hold of any of the figures here in the UK never had such a hard time getting halo figures when it was McFarlane so annoying

My only issue with the new Infinite game is the plasma pistol doesn't have the emp feature to disable vehicles! Why even have the weapon in the game?

[@Skater-gc8sg]

[@PopCultureLeague2]

anthony today is my birthday wiiiiiii

[@naus6081]

The re1000 takes the cake for poses. That one knee, energy sword out with the rifle holstered on the back really well is so solid. It’s a hefty price to pay; and I might have to do a bit of panel lining and drybrushing to weather him up more but yeah the scale and complexity are just right. Campaign is solid- I went in with heavy doubts- because there were elements of 4 and 5 I really loved and didn’t want them to toss to the wayside (like they did with certain characters in the expanded material in 5, jul Mdama being a big one) but they defied expectations and did a really great job

[@loydzero]

They tossed Halo 5 and sort of 4 to the side though. Game literally starts with, "...and everything from the last 2 games are no longer around. Do you get to experience it? No but let's be honest, you didn't really care. So here is what Halo 5 should've been, a chief focused story about dealing with Cortana's loss."

[@impossiblepie]

Just bought series one master chief I like the figure but his left arm pops off easily.

[@bttsai]

I just want them to make PLASTIC guns

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

I like series one the best after you boil the grease away so the arms are tight.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Boil the grease away?

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

@@AnthonysCustoms what I mean is there's too much oil applied to the arms so I put master chief in boiling water until it boils it away. The one bad thing is that now the fig slightly lighter also don't boil the head or the crime visor will be ruin

[@AnthonysCustoms]

You should never put a figure in boiling water. I haven't seen any lube on the jw figures btw... Just low spec tolerances.

[@luisd.pacheco1074]

Great review, but how many figures of MASTER CHIEF Jazwares does he intend to make? NO Improove the HORRIBLE knees, series 3-4 I don't particularly like the neck is too long, it worries me, I ordered the HALO 20th Anniversary at Gane Stop and I think it will be the same figure and I'm already regretting it, I think at least JAZWARES should have made the pack including HALO 3 and HALO 4 Armor too, JAZWARES NEED TO LOOK THE ENGINEERING OF OTHER COMPANIES THEY STILL IN THE SAME MISTAKES. as for the HALO INFINITE campaign, (I LOVE IT). HOPE 343 MADE OTHER VIDEO GAMES LIKE BUNGIE IN HALO REACH OTHER STORIES OTHER SPARTANS.( HALO IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME SINSE FIRST DAY I PLAY COMBAT EVOLVED)
