"KAT" Halo Spartan Collection Figure Review | Halo Reach

[@KuyaPow626]

Man I only wanted to get Chief but now I want Kat too, one of my favorite Halo designs.

[@FaceSmackerStudios]

I think you should just get the whole wave. There's only 4 of them. 🤷‍♂️😅

[@KuyaPow626]

FaceSmacker! Studios oh no. Ive collected too many figures, not enough shelf room anymore its actually become quite unattractive. I can only afford to get myself master chief in terms of display space now

[@TheToyPhotographer6312]

I just want some halo action figures. They don’t sell them in my country 😭😭😭 My country stopped selling halo action figures after Halo Reach. They then stopped selling Halo megabloks when Halo 4 came out.

These figures are such nostalgia blasts!! It's gonna be hard not to spend my pay on these spartans... I really hope they make the baddies in this scale!!! I'd love to have an elite or a brute or something 🤩

[@SpartanDave99]

PSA For Spartan Collection Kat: her matte visor appears to be a mistake(maybe part of the chrome finish process that was left on by mistake), and you can easily scratch it off with your fingernail to reveal the chrome underneath! Looks so much better this way!

[@Charicards1997]

hope this helps. the weird pointing finger. its for you to put against the side of her helmet to make it look like she's talking on the radio to someone

[@FaceSmackerStudios]

I knew that, but I just can't unsee the Disney 2 finger point when ever I see that type of hand pose. 😂. But thanks for letting me know in case i didnt!

[@UwUvatar]

So, Kat cannonically is shorter than Chief, mainly due to the fact she's from the Spartan III program, where chief is from the Spartan II. The recruits from the III's had slightly different augmentations because the genetic pool they took from was wider, and the kids were older. She's probably in scale in comparison to Chief. Apparently under the visor is a mirror finish (dont have the figure, cant find it in Canada, so cant confirm). However, due to how gritty the Fall of Reach was I think it suits it better without the shine. Shes missing ALOT of paint apps on her back, but all that can be easily fixed. Lastly, that torso can be fixed with nail polish to make the ball joint bigger, or if putty along the shift that attaches to the legs. The pistol mount can be fixed easily too by just cutting it down with side cutters/nippers. 🤙

[@FaceSmackerStudios]

Theres supposedly a updated version 2 Kat now circulating. Has a bit more paint apps, new visor, and better joints from what i hear. Still looking for one though.

[@TitanShadow]

@@FaceSmackerStudios Mine must be a version two then. The visor is vac-chromed like the others. There's a white stripe around her right thigh and light gray paint apps on that pouch on the left thigh. The back peg is present. And I have many of the same loose joint issues especially in the torso ball joint. And the left arm likes to fall out of the torso. I have every figure in this series and they all have major issues with loose joints everywhere, ugly knee articulation, poor gripping hands, the thigh pegs are a good idea but they don't really work and fall out when a weapon is attached, and useless articulation (Master Chief's torso has no range in movement, MK V's hips are very limited). I really hope they work to fix these issues for future figures because they have a lot of promise.

[@mdredheadguy1979]

[@omarm4225]

The Reach female body did have a round booty, but on this figure it looks a bit off. I'm going to check my Targets and see if I can find some. I want to like these more but the limited paint kills me. The Hasbro black series figures have more paint. Is this because Jazwares isn't that big of a company, or do they just have more cost to cut?

[@FaceSmackerStudios]

Every company has different business strategies and profit margins, so it's hard to say why exactly they didn't put as much paint. But if this line does well, perhaps the talent involved in making these figures might be able to strongarm Jazwares into spending a bit more on paint apps in the future. 🤷‍♂️. Fingers crossed!

[@Primal2229]

Compare articulation to anything from Hasbro, especially when it comes to female figures. What might be lacking in paint more than makes up for it in overall sculpt and articulation.

[@omarm4225]

@@Primal2229 I did pick up the Chief. I was impressed and I will take back some of my negatives I initially had. Assuming you get one that isn't loose in the joints, they're great figures. I still say some extra paint would make things a bit more accurate, but they do have nice presence

All of the problems you had weren’t on mine, the peg is on the back to hold the laser, joints are all sturdy and pose, helmet visor is chrome, I’ve also got a bit more silver brushed on the armor

Did you buy yours recently? Bought mine on Amazon today, hope the newer batches are better in quality

[@Itsjayduhhhhh]

@@adnanqasim30 yeah picked it up from target yesterday because it was the only one of Her and I liked reach, I think the newer batches are better then the older ones

[@creeploxx]

You can fix the loud squeaks by putting a little bit of dish soap on the joint. I did it on my chief and it worked, dont put too much though cause it will end up being too loose.

[@Cooleepable]

Mine has a back peg, so yours is just missing. Same issue with the waist though. Cool Bird.

[@behroztaib2052]

You know what’s funny about the visor at my target I saw a kat with a scratch on the visor and under it was shiny material. So I think it is shiny under.

[@Night_Rider83]

Yeah, it is. I scratched the matte silver off, now she has the same chrome visor as my other Spartans.

[@MW3EXPERT1000]

Nice!! I just got the whole wave except Kat probably gnna grab her from work tomorrow!😎

Congrats! Hope you find Kat! ✌️

[@happybuddyperson]

I just got one of these, and it has a peg in the back, and the waist and arms not wobbly at all. The arms are smooth but not loose. Everything else poses and feels nice and firm but not like it will snap. Mine also seems to have less silver paint splodged all over with more applied to corners and high points, but the weapons don't fit on either of her pegs.

[@inverthed]

Is it the snap that broke her waist joint cause I kinda want her but don't know if she is worth it.

It's not a design flaw for the back piece they made it to where any weapon that has a peg on it can fit onto the back of her suit

Hope so. As of now, not a single weapon from Chief, Kat, or the Red Spartan have pegs on them. The mattel pegs are too short to be useful too. We'll have to see what they give us in the future I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@SpartanDave99]

@@FaceSmackerStudios sorry to say this, man, your Kat is missing a piece. Mine has a black piece that ports into that hole, with a peg on it. It's basically just like chief's side holsters. I face, all the figs have the side holsters and back detachable pieces but some of them are VERY stuck and won't budge at all. Seems like your Kat is just flat out missing the back piece, mine has it

I wonder if they were trying to give her, her scar that runs down to her left eye (wrong position on the figure if vourse)

[@tristanlee8495]

The sculpt and articulation look really good, however, the figure is let down by what seems to be really poor QC which is a real shame. The paint definitely could be better but isn't bad by any means.

[@FaceSmackerStudios]

The Wicked Cool Toys team is aware and are fixing the QC issues asap they said. In fact, if you have problems with yours, they say to email them and they see about fixing or replacing your figure.

I really hope these QC issues aren't common. Some floor polish in torso ball joint should tighten it up. And some petroleum jelly in the hips should help too. I've been waiting on good halo figures for so long and these might not be it either. Mcfarlanes are way too small and the Mattel ones are trash. :/ Excellent review though.
