I think the Agryna helmet is gonna be renamed retroactively since there’s now an infinite helmet called “flanker” and it seems pretty different to hers in the cutscenes

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yeah, I saw that a few days after filming, which is annoying XD

[@rb240tuner]

That Yuroi is a definite grab! The Camo could be a pop and swap with other Spartans like the Mark VII from the Banished Transport vehicle the weapon is a meh and the Brute Chieftain is cool will look great as a diorama guy the scrap canon is one of gun I have never gotten yet in Halo Infinite but I hope to get it soon! The other Spartan looks cool! Love your vids and the whole series is a definite grab!

[@DemarcationMedia]

Hmmm yeah popping and swapping Kovan would make some cool mixes

[@Donuts0rdoughnuts]

Hopefully the Yoroi gives Mega a foot in the door to design a H3 Hayabusa chest with a back sheathe instead of the clip. Can you imagine with the new articulation how epic that would be??

[@DemarcationMedia]

A back sheath would cover the hole, unless it's a extra piece that pegs in. Also, Mega has no rights to the Hayabusa design, and can't legally make one

[@C-709]

@@DemarcationMedia Even though Bungie created Halo 3, the IP still belongs to Microsoft so I believe they could make it. Look at the Halo Universe series 2 blind bags, they include the Halo 3 EOD. If they had no legal rights to Halo 3 armor, they couldn’t have made the EOD.

[@DemarcationMedia]

@@C-709 No, it's not the Halo 3 issue, it's the fact that the Hayabusa was made as a collab with Ninja Gaiden, so the rights don't fully belong with the Halo franchise.

[@imlewishehe]

The scrap cannon being two separate parts is probably a thing for production to make it easy or something (I can't tell you exactly what), and not meant to be pulled apart once they're together. Same deal as the missile pod

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yeah that's a good point. Though the missile pod makes a little more sense

[@Taykoe88]

I almost feel like the best way for yuroi to be is to mix parts of the fake with the real one. They both have parts that seem less than top quality, but also each have things that are significantly better than the others. Regardless though, I love the fact they brought in a figure like this. Reminds me of the Hayabusa's that they used to make. Really wish licensing issues didn't take away the possibility of a new, updated Hayabusa.

[@DemarcationMedia]

The majority of the bootleg parts won't work with the real one very well due to them being smaller

[@thunderslug1066]

​@@DemarcationMedia I'm making a hybrid custom with the bootleg Yoroi using real parts and mine fits (barely) but the shoulder piece is definitely too small

[@DemarcationMedia]

@@thunderslug1066 Yeah the parts are for sure smaller

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

My guess with them painting so much of Agryna is that it's probably easier and cheaper to mix a new paint color than it is to make a new plastic color.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Hmm maybe?

[@halostopmotionandreviews]

I feel like the reason the scrap cannon is 2 parts is so there will be 2 shell parts. The current one and then one with handles like the mounted turret type

[@DemarcationMedia]

Hmm I very much doubt it will honestly

[@liam12377]

i love the brute i would love him in you collection

[@headcrabking9054]

I would kill for a pink Yoroi spartan! I remember when I got a pink Hayabusa from the old blind bags, and I was so freaking happy. I know this isn't the exact same kinda figure, but it'd be so dope to have something similar in the newer figure design!

[@DemarcationMedia]

Ohhh yes, a pink Yoroi would be epic!

[@yolihsieh]

I want Yoroi

[@DemarcationMedia]

Sadly it's nearly impossible to get now

[@chronomize]

That's a 4x6. Pretty standard (at least in LEGO). And the forearms on the Yoroi are just one of the Halo 4/5 ones we've had for a while. For Agryna, her helmet isn't Flanker. MEGA uses the same mould for the Flanker helmet but in game you can definitely see the difference. I'm guessing they didn't have access to the right colour green plastic. I enjoyed your review, and look forward to the next video!

[@DemarcationMedia]

4x6 tiles aren't so common but 4x6 plates are. And yeah, it was like, 2 days after I filmed that the Flanker helmet was revealed XD

[@TrueSavage555]

The reason the Scrap Cannon is in two pieces is so they can have it be in multiple colors without having to paint it. Like the top armor portion can be a light grey while the cannon potion can be dark grey or black. Atleast thats my guess.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Hm I don't think so because they did paint it

[@TrueSavage555]

@@DemarcationMedia and not as much as they might have. Although, I bet the other reason is that this might have made it easier to mold/get all the detail in. Since that same logic is how they ruined the Flood Elites.

[@Brutus_the_warden]

Where can I find this online. I think kovan is fine. The helmet is still technically the storm fall helmet and stone had the same torso dilemma. But as as you stated in I believe the scorpion clash video spartans are beefy anyway so I see kovan as a big win.

[@DemarcationMedia]

You can't. Any of the ones you buy online have a HIGH chance of being fake unless you get it from somebody who bought them from a store

[@jcbp93]

Hello! Do you have any advice on where to buy the Series 17? I usually buy my mega on Amazon, but I can’t find the Series 17 or it’s too expensive. Greetings from Colombia.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Unfortunately Series 17 is nearly impossible to get these days :( All the ones online are fake, overpriced or both

I STILL can't find these at my Target or any Target around my area. It sucks. And I still can't order them from the site. I really want to get a few of those yoroi figures for some customizations too.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Target doesn't have any Halo Heroes right now

[@cesarcontreras7869]

The weapon chip I use it as a like halo 3 terminal, just cover the chip part on the bottom, and it looks good

[@DemarcationMedia]

Oh interesting idea!

[@malcolmr8348]

I would of liked a bootleg comparison with the camo one. I recently acquired the bootleg carded versions via ali express, in hope that just maybe they weren’t. And i would of preferred to get the genuine set but thats unlikely to be possible in australia

[@DemarcationMedia]

Can you tell me how you got yoroi I can’t find him anywhere

[@DemarcationMedia]

Explained in the video

[@jermeyjones7118]

How much do you want for the hold set

[@DemarcationMedia]

Not for sale

[@fresnillo6771]

My stores only have HH15 and infinite blind bags 3 for the longest ever and I’m missing out on 2 series already.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Well if your stores have Heroes, then they will most likely restock either 16 or 17 once 15 sells out

[@crypticbait]

Well they have the gungir attachment in game so her armor could be using that attachment since she’s a long range type

[@DemarcationMedia]

She uses it without the attachment though

[@Hansik_squigWH]

When are you going to do the brute chieftain comparison?

[@DemarcationMedia]

Honestly, I totally forgot there was enough Chieftains for a comparison! I'll add it to the list!

[@Hansik_squigWH]

How could you forget about big monkey boys

[@Hansik_squigWH]

But thank you for adding the comparison to your list :)

[@DemarcationMedia]

Mainly 'cause the last one we got was in Series 17 and that series was such a mess

[@Hansik_squigWH]

Yea, that's true

[@hunterdavid3581]

Ayyyy you get them! I found my actual Mega yoroi at Rite aid

[@DemarcationMedia]

I've been checking all my CVS stores to see if I can find any more or some S16

[@leonarddrawsisback4718]

I really want these but Mattel can’t make them pack in teaxs😢 unlike California but I have to wait

[@DemarcationMedia]

Just keep your eyes peeled, hopefully they'll show up

[@meman176]

honestly i want to get the fakes and the real ones. Who knows these might be the only fakes we EVER get. As a collector this could be a pretty cool one off series to collect..... I dont support fakes especially like this. But here they are... i HOPE we never get more. But i do want them just for completion-ists sake. And im not gonna pay very much for them either lol.... idk them being the only fakes in existence might have some value. Or for me: sentimental value. Its like "Ah these scary fakes that could have ruined everything" Or "ah yes these are the figures that got an entire mega factory shut down and everyone went to jail because of these fake figures" I mean its just like cmon thats kinda unique to have in the collection as long as this does NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HOPE NOT. XD

[@DemarcationMedia]

😂 That's one way to look at it. They're not hard to find

[@fishyfow3767]

Where did you get these? Also that Brute looks much darker than before, in fact everyone does, but especially that brute

[@DemarcationMedia]

I explained in the videos, I was helped out by a fellow collector, Halo_Bricks

[@seatedbotot]

This is a little off topic but I have the original mk5 master chief but it has blue stuff on it is that supposed to be like that?

[@ventris425productions5]

Idk, kovan has stormfall, without the attachment, but since they don’t have the mold it’s close enough Edit: actually, it’s a male not a female body, so maybe it’s just a mp Spartan using wild kovan and the s7

[@DemarcationMedia]

That's kind of my thought process. Also they ARE making Stormfall soon

My dude. Whenever they use female bodies people complain that they ruin the figure. Kinda feel like Spartan females gain more of a male body anyway
