McFarland halo figures are way better than mattel

[@hillman6901]

Mattel is shit the detail was suck

[@Geetarman69420]

100%

[@saudade969]

By far better than Mattel

[@Cabula1977]

wicket cool toys are making them now 2020

[@Alex-fl6fj]

I hope McFarlane gets the licence back when infinite comes out

[@saltytroopa6578]

Really sad that mcfarlane don't do Halo Figures anymore😭😢

[@devildude005]

i am so jelly

[@yourasskicker]

Do you not realize that scarab is from the action clix series? Its like 4 years old lol

[@tetsuoswrath]

I know this is from 8 years ago, but I wanted to see how it goes from prototype to final product after this. I was wondering if the figure shown is a 1/6 scale or an overscaled standard reach figure that gets translated down to its actual final scale during the mold making process. I'm pretty sure it's a 1/6 in the video but that part would have been cool to see. And if I'm correct that its a larger scaled figure I would want to see the smaller standard ones being made too. Too late now though huh. :{J

[@RicardoJunqueira]

The painting guy is a hybrid between Steve Buscemi and David Bowie. Congrats! Awesome pieces over there!

[@SlobZombie]

With some Robert Patrick in there

[@davagurodvil]

I'm always blown away by how good these artists are. And the whole process was awesome to get to watch. Thanks McFarlane for the great toys!

[@shasotirgis]

macfarlane still owes me more ODSTs! ;w; loved the odsts, hoping to have Romeo to complete my collection. just wish they hadn't focused on Spartans all the time!.....I mean geeze... give me army builders any time!.....watching this though makes me really want to build my own odst troopers.......

[@ARC117Studios]

R.I.P. the Halo line of figures..thanks for giving up on them, McFarlane.

[@SniperRed0092]

+ImpalaDude1969 They made Halo 5 figures.

[@TheSupersnippy]

They aren't as good, or widespread. Way back in the Halo 3 and Halo Reach lines we had several figures. We could make our own characters from the game. It was a good time.

[@fnafrulez3870]

+SuperSnippy True.

[@uglyburrito_]

The only time I ever got a figurine was when ODST was released and the arm and leg broke off taking out of the packaging, rip

[@thecreepycuck6036]

Too true. Halo reach hands down had the best sculpts and articulation the halo 4 and onward they screwed up the hips and they cant sot down on vehicles good

[@colebennett9316]

Too bad they are not making halo figures anymore

[@thecreepycuck6036]

Jazwares are releasing halo toys 3.75 inch and 6 inch figs later this year. Jurys still out whether they will be good or not

[@TheCitedAviator]

@@thecreepycuck6036 some of them are ok but the articulation on the first wave is really bad

[@ChuckNorrisIsHere]

@@TheCitedAviator i have the series 1 wave 2 they improved a lot !😳

[@Quakecon-s9r]

thanks for the awesome lines of halo figures youve done for us Todd. halo 3 and halo reach lines were the best!

[@Toukan1]

Wow, Watched Part 2 and Part 3. This looks like lots of work. These figures must really cost tons of money. Good job guys!

[@orion4624]

I miss the ole Reach series. Honestly I prefer y'all over Mattel ANY day! One thing I'd hope y'all would do was to be able to offer us commissioned individualized figures from the Reach line for a reasonable price. I just absolutely LOVE your paint work and detailing, I appreciate it soo much! Man... I'll miss yall, I've been collecting your Halo line for almost half my life now. Great times.. :)

I totally want to see a video like this for a SPAWN figure!! Omg this is such a cool vid. I love it! Thanks for uploading it!!! =]

[@sweetchildomusicians4621]

I still collect McFarlane figures. My parents on got me all the 343 figures (the ones with the questionable articulation. Now I buy Halo 3 and Reach figures whenever I see one. Mostly in conventions and cons. RIP McFarlane Halo. Please go go to making them for Halo Infinite. Mattel’s figures are so mediocre (I still buy them anyway because that’s all there is).

[@terrifiedace1378]

Watching this just makes me want to buy more figs hahaha

[@samellowery]

Why yes I don't like being able to hear well perhaps you can play you music even louder so I can go deaf even quicker.

[@TheGreatArloMan]

I dislike how the prototypes aren't what we could get. I liked how back in the day, joyride figures were large and in charge. If I could buy a prototype sized figure with standard paint apps, i would buy so many. Countless.

[@iMRCuddles]

McFarlane figures are way better than Jazwares. We need these back.

[@PixelatedPoro]

Thats the old halo action clix scarab pal, plus the falcon and banshee that where show last ear in the expo have been canceld as it would cost too much :/

[@davagurodvil]

@xIxExtremex That thing came out in 2008 based on the Scarab from Halo 3 and it isn't even from McFarlane Toys.

[@paranzopoli]

I would love to know how they do to make plastic joints, swivels and so on... Ok now I know how to cast a prototype and everything... but what's with the commercial version of the figure? How do they do the joints?

[@napoartiga2436]

Wich scale was that figure? Looks like 12 inch but never saw in market ?

[@orientallegendcomics1316]

Would you care to show us hoe you were able to make the fnaf mcfarlane figures? I kinda want to make my own.

[@themarker6]

you know if you look up a little of where it says " scarab " i think thats the scarab

[@Ednilane]

Why dont you make figures of halo red vs blue from Roosterteeth, it will be awesome!

[@xIxExtremex]

OMG look at the background at 7:19 it says scarab so maybe theyre making a scarab.

[@jaredtwibell1622]

it would be cool if they made a kit you assembled yourself and painted yourself

[@omrlpz]

What exact figure was he painting? Looks like the Noble Six but I'm not to sure.

[@miscellaneousmasters2378]

thats a scarab that came out a few years ago and it was made by action clix

[@thebatzinator]

I want that job! I agree with damjan, best toy company ever. I collect Spawn and the details are amazing!

[@cheetor182]

so every single fig that comes out is hand painted like the prototype??O_O

[@Spider-Sarge]

Would u do a video of assembly of mini master chief from combat evolved that would be awesome

I hate how the prototype looks better than the crap we end up buying.

Why aren't all Halo McFarlane figures this well painted?...... -_-

I bet they would get so much more money if they took requests...

[@JWGinator96]

If you do read this comment McFarlane Toys please may you make a 12" figure line of the Halo Reach action figure line you are currently working on. I really do love the final result of that Noble 6 prototype its astounding!

[@LoneCoolBeagle]

Dude, McFarlane isn't mass producing the prototype, because it wouldn't be profitable. Printing, hand painting, molding, touching up, packaging, shipping, etc. would cost a fuck ton just for this figure.

[@weijie2107]

Do they really go through the whole spray painting process for each and every figures produced? wouldn't that be too time consuming?

[@OMGITZTOMI]

How much do u get payed!?
