I really love this Warthog and the Banshee. my Kroger had them both on sale for about $20 each so I bought them. ignoring the characters I dont care about, the sets really are amazing, detailed, and fun to build, and they look great.
@@DemarcationMedia just saw them again today, it was actually 19 for the banshee and 23 still there, sadly people in my area dont seem to be buying any mega where I am so all the krogers and meijers are stocked and discounted.
I really like how this set looks, can’t wait to get it. The master cheeks face looks quite accurate and as a animator, I see a lot of animation potentials with it lol
I really really love this set And that Chief helmet is what ive always wanted in terms of the grey printing I've always hated the chief helmets not having the dark grey to contour and make the helmet look more slim and sleek instead of making it look bulky and recycled That's my favorite takeaway from this Might order it!❤❤🎉🎉 Much love! 🙏
I honestly think this cortana looks really good for The Weapon (aka cortana 2 lol) I feel like she makes for a good stand in if you don't have the halo heroes Weapon, and just ignoring the fact she's paramount cortana I love the silver team spartans as generic spec ops looking spartans, I haven't watched the show, never will, don't know any of their names and don't care for them either, but, they still look really good and imo I like them more *because* I don't know their names and as for Jimmy rings, master cheeks over here, I hate his head and I'll probably toss it in a box never to see the light of day again, I HATE HIS FADE HAIRCUT, IT LOOKS LIKE ASS FOR A SPARTAN, WHAT ARE YOU CHIEF, A FUCK BOY? - ... *o h w a i t*
Her hair is a bit off to be the Weapon but she could work as a stand in. I almost want a second Silver Team for weathering and pop'n'swaps because that gray look is so nice. And Mr. Cheeks, well, we won't talk about him XD
Dude I’m not going to lie to you, I REALLY love this warthog! It might be my second favorite, other than my first MEGA set ever! (Winter CTF hog!) that head goes on civilians and marines. Not. On. The. Master. Chief! Maybe this is the ACTUAL Halo infinite warthog! The turret shiel is joined together! Plus I guess paramount firetema was ok… free parts are always welcome to me! So over all? 7.5 outa 10! ONLY cuz of master cheeks head. And weird Cortana. I guess that’s my thoughts on the set. If you’re just looking for any hog, I think you could skip over this set and get either Red Team Rescue, or Warthog Rally, or if you are rich, Warthog Run from 2019. IF you’re desperate and you can’t find any cheap hogs online or in store, I guess this is a last resort. So yeah. Finally got my Xbox EOD boi! At the usual! Meijers! AND found me a Halo Universe Blind bag series 8! Got my leet boi! Not Jega though, so I guess I’m happy. Just wish I got Chips Dubbo. Or a brute, flood or reg. It’s fine though! They restocking soon anyways!
I hope they use the new chief codpiece and legs for Halo 3 chief figures from here on out. The new molds just look so much more accurate to the in-game model when compared to the Halo Wars parts.
I mean, considering they're still using the Mark IV legs for the Halo 2/3 Mark VI Spartans, despite having the correct legs as seen on Infinite Chief, I kind of doubt it.
Seeing that this set is based on the show, the Cortana figure is supposed to look like the actor portraying her (Which means we technically have an official Jen Taylor Head Mold).
YUP! Waiting for this review from you since you got the mongoose! As soon as January hits im getting this set asap! I think orher sets have better warthogs, and even master chiefs, but this set is good nonetheless! All this to say I LOVE THIS SET!!!
also, my FIRST Mega set came in! the Hornet begins my collection! (i found it funny it took me 3 DAYS to realize that Stacker had his shoulder pads put on incorrectly, other than that AMAZING set!
Gotta say the Hog looks pretty slick. I do like that green, even though its not realistic mil type - but its the future so, things should look good! 😂 One area where I see Mega improving is the tampo printing (I know, its more of a transfer than a "print"). The symbols and numbers are super crisp and more in scale and it shows in this set. Great models all around, except Cortana. She looks like blue-Halsey. Cortalsey? Haltana? Even her "display" clothes look like a version of Halsey's pant suit / lab coat combo. I guess smart is the new sexy.
If Mega can get a handle on the random rubbing prints, they'll be spot on print-wise. Technically, Cortana IS blue Halsey. They just went a very literal route with that for the show
I'd love this set if it had the hexagon gun shield. I know the square one is more accurate to the source material, but I never liked the square gun shields. The hexagon ones just match the overall shape of warthogs much better.
It annoys me how much effort they’re putting into the halo tv show sets in comparison to the halo infinite sets. And I really want a halo infinite Master Chief figure in the new mold they used here
Kevin confirmed we will be getting a Chief with this new mold. And I wouldn't say they aren't putting in effort for the Infinite sets because they've done a lot of awesome stuff for that part of the line. Plus, Multiplayer Mayhem is coming and that set looks to blow this one out of the water
I like to take the duplicate mini figs I have and mix and match parts to make new ones and I want that back pack so so bad for mix and match since I don’t care about the figs them self, 12:50 but I love the warthog. Too bad it’s $60 now
Still waiting on mine from Amazon! The Spartans look pretty cool, and the Warthog itself is really interesting looking. Quick question! What sort of sealant would you suggest applying to the faces here?
Just get yourself a can of matte Krylon sealer from Walmart, one coat should do the trick. So far, I haven't seen any issues with the print, but I haven't had it for very long
I’ve bought the mongoose and have this one coming sometime between December 19-Jan. But I can’t find the banshee on Amazon for anything under $46 so I’m gonna wait.
I put these guys and Blue Team together because they go together really well despite the conflicting colors. I always felt that Blue team was a bit empty so these guys are a great addition.
Why isn't there a antenna on the back of the hog? Also can you put a marine helmet on the Jimmy rings head? Might ad some nice variations in your marines with that hair
The real reason Chief's on the front windscreen, is because after so long of having that helmet on and not being seen, now his cover is blown and has gone mad because of stage fright.
I love this set. I now have over 20(!) Mega Warthogs and this one has got to be in the top 5 for sure. I just love the classic look. Despite being a set from the TV series, this is what I think of when I think Halo Warthog. My only gripe (and the reason for this comment, it bothers me that much) is how limited the suspension is (compared to previous Hogs anyways). I just can’t stand how little distance you can push down. Even the Neon Superfly Hog from the Multiplayer Mayhem set goes down farther (although still not all the way, like say the Razorback). Granted it doesn’t bother me now as much as it did when I first built it, especially since I just display my stuff, but it still irks me. I thought maybe it could be fixed by simply removing a layer of those gray “shock” pieces above the axel (for lack of better term), but then the wheel ends up rubbing against the wheel well. So I guess limited suspension is just a quirk of this design variant, and it probably doesn’t bother most people nearly as much as it does me.
@@DemarcationMedia tbh I’m still trying to decide if I like the new rubber band spring suspension better, or the older silicone tube leaf spring system (as seen on the recent I believe it was called Red Team Rescue Warthog, which itself of course wasn’t anything new but a reuse of the previous method). The new system is neat, and definitely adds play value, but do I like it more? The older Hogs, like my first, the Halo 4 Warthog Rally one, just used the simple droop suspension. A couple later added the little “spring” pieces to that, but not many of them. Then they went to the tube leaf spring system. And now the modern rubber band active suspension. Every time I think about it my gut tells me that my favorite is still the suspension system they did for the yellow Security Warthog (forget what the set was called exactly but it was something like that). That Hog had the best of both worlds, it had the “droop” of the rubber leaf spring but it also had the 4 little spring pieces above each wheel, so you could press down a little and the Hog would pop back up. Very similar to the modern system although much more limited. And for reasons unknown it’s the only Hog they implemented that on. Lots of others had the droop, and 1 or 2 other had the springs, but no others had both.
I like the green used on this hog beter than other hogs like the red team hog, the figures are really awesome, i like and dont like the fact that cheif can take off his helmet, cortana is ok, amazing printing on Vannak and kai, my favorite it probably spartan riz, kai's and riz's characters in the show sucks
Mega is definitely not dying out, since their Hot Wheels and Pokemon stuff is everywhere. The Halo line definitely is having a rough go, so I agree, these sets are helpful
Out of curiosity, does the green on this Master Chief match any of the Bungie-era Chiefs? I'm curious about part swapping with the sandnest Chief since it could theoretically be used to make a more accurate H2/H3 Chief if it was the same color.
Oh word, might be worth swapping parts then. I was thinking of sandnest Chiefs helmet shoulders and chest on the Fleetcom one, if the colors line up then that would be the most accurate Halo 3 Chief shapewise!
@@DemarcationMedia Perfect. I think I'm gonna give it a shot then, I have a Sandnest Chief coming in soon and that would probably make the figure beat out the Series 5 one Imo.
personally I don't think that the show should hurt any of the fleetcom sets, they're all very well done. not to mention, if you don't like Kai in the show that's fine, but apparently a lot of people like her character.
I do wonder why in the tv show chief has the military colour armour and then his other spartan members wear grayish blue armour you think they all would wear the same color armour
It's to make him stand out in Silver Team and because Master Chief has always traditionally been green in the games. But notice that Paramount Chief is a very dark green compared to the light green of Halo Infinite Chief. It's done so that Chief still somewhat fits the color palette of Silver Team and the series.
that's actually so sad, missed my chance to get it. Kinda odd on the mega amazon page it uses the falcon sweep as its "new releases" banner. thought there was some more hope@@DemarcationMedia
I know the UK had a couple minor restocks via the Mattel site, but as far as I'm aware, it isn't ever going back to Amazon. If I'm wrong, I will be very happy about it
Im sorry but im not too knowledgable about this topic but I've been trying to find a set online since the start of this new year and well its hard to even find a scalped version of it. Is this a normal release or is there going to be another soon? I'm just wondering if im too late to the party on this one or what lol.
yes this one, idk if im not looking correctly but im not seeing this set anywhere. Not target or walmart, just amazon has one listing but its being sold by scalpers that (im not kidding) are shipping this item until like 6-12 months. again im just not sure where I am, If im late or just in a weird cycle of release when it comes to getting this set. The one in this video that im commenting on. @@DemarcationMedia
Amazon has it, and then Paulmart's Ebay store gets it from time to time. $40 USD is retail. Amazon restocks every so often, and it technically is just now supposed to be releasing
Love your videos…I know some HALO purists, yourself included, that completely and almost unapologetically shit on the TV show. However you completely miss something while taking this type of stance…there are a lot of us that never played the game nor gave a crap about any of it until the TV show came out. I NEVER played the Halo games until AFTER watching this show. This TV show is what got me interested in the game and these sets. I started watching the show on a whim and loved it. Season 2 especially. Now I’ve gone back to learn the history of the forerunners and the Flood and I basically opened my bank account to this “new” world. I watch your TH-cam channel because of the show you take a dump on. Had no idea you even existed. LOL. Ironic right?
I don't honestly care about the 'lore breaking' stuff in the show. I'm a writer first though and when shows do lazy character development, crappy story beats and just overall make a weak, watered down, taped together show, that's when I take issue. Especially when they have A LOT of money dumped into it. If they focused on making a truly thought out and solid story, I wouldn't be complaining about it, even if it broke 'lore'
@@DemarcationMedia Thank you for responding, that’s awesome actually. You are a rare content creator that actually responds. So, I totally hear you. However, I knew nothing about characters or lore or any of that. I knew absolutely Nothing. I Didn’t know who John was, I didn’t know Who Halsey was, I didn’t know what the covenant was. I just didn’t know. I never played the game. Sure, I saw Halo stuff at stores but just didn’t know. I went into watching the show with zero expectations, it’s probably why I enjoyed it as much as I did. We started watching it because we happened to be watching Yellowstone and the ad for the show looked cool. Total whim. With that said, I’m a pursuer of story and I’m a writer myself. Was there a lot left to be desired with the show? Absolutely. Did I want to know more about the story? Yep. After researching Did I end up finding a storyline that matched the game lore? Not really But even with that I was still fascinated and curious. I was still drawn into the overall story. My point is that the show was the front door for me and it didn’t scare me away, it exposed me to a new world. I don’t think I’m alone. For that reason, it’s a win for 343 and Halo, it keeps the game and everything you love about it going forward and it’s drawing in more and new fans like me.
Heresy! how can you put a helmet on the beautiful face of the only Jimmy Rings figure we have? Jokes aside, ignoring the awful show, the set itself looks pretty cool, might have to get it! And really? You don't like Kai? she was the one character that felt likable!
In the uk on amazon i still haven't seen the phantom or falcon so ill be lucky to see this set any time soon anyone know a better online store in the uk to get halo sets not ebay because people will overprice it
Why is the look better looking than other regular warthog I’m pretty sure this is just to say they want more money Also demarcation media If you can observe with me here People who like the halo show never really played the game or know the lore Just like the FNAF movie sure was Not really great but it had some lore to the actual game franchise it’s self
man, its just so unbelievable how much they butchered the show, like him getting his memories back and commander keyes not being a commander but a scientist. cortana not being played by Jen taylor, chief removing his helmet. the set looks great tho, all that detail, altho it always bugs seeing the 343 warthogs with gasoline jerry cans, even tho im pretty sure in universe theyre hydrogen powered.
I've got this coming tomorrow. I'm enjoying the show (unlike some people) and I'm excited to finally pair this with the Mongoose. Now if only we can get the full Silver Team armors in Infinite.

If you ignore what it’s from, the Spartans don’t look bad at all, this is a pretty good set.
I totally agree with you.
Garbage show, good set.
I agree 100%
I need
This show isn’t that bad until master chief starts getting freaking with the human covenant woman
Haven’t watched the show, never plan on it, the silver team figures look amazing on their own
I like how you critic the sets and figures others are like “hehe nice Spartan”
I do my best! The goal of these videos is to give you guys as much info about the set as possible to help you decide if you want it or not

There's certainly a 'Hog for every occasion, but this one is really solid. The green just hits different
also, my FIRST Mega set came in! the Hornet begins my collection! (i found it funny it took me 3 DAYS to realize that Stacker had his shoulder pads put on incorrectly, other than that AMAZING set!
The new Hornet is SUCH a good set. A++, fantastic way to start your collection!

As much as I hate the character, her armor is epic
Bro this is crazy i was sick all the weekend and i saw to entrentaimen and like it some much thank you
Oof, being sick is never fun. Get better soon!
Gotta say the Hog looks pretty slick. I do like that green, even though its not realistic mil type - but its the future so, things should look good! 😂 One area where I see Mega improving is the tampo printing (I know, its more of a transfer than a "print"). The symbols and numbers are super crisp and more in scale and it shows in this set.
Great models all around, except Cortana. She looks like blue-Halsey. Cortalsey? Haltana? Even her "display" clothes look like a version of Halsey's pant suit / lab coat combo. I guess smart is the new sexy.
If Mega can get a handle on the random rubbing prints, they'll be spot on print-wise.
Technically, Cortana IS blue Halsey. They just went a very literal route with that for the show
@@DemarcationMedia Ahh yes. The subtlety of a brick. Now I may have to watch to see which formula they follow.
I'd love this set if it had the hexagon gun shield. I know the square one is more accurate to the source material, but I never liked the square gun shields. The hexagon ones just match the overall shape of warthogs much better.
I dunno, this is such a beefy hog that smaller shield may have made the gun look too tiny

Not a bad idea!
I still feel like chief's old team figures more then the new ones but still the new ones are still cool
I agree. Fred, Kelly and Linda are Chief's real team
Imagine 343 made a skin selection for Master Chief, then Pablo Schreiber would be the skin. I’ve always dreamed about that for like 3 years
Skin selection for who?
@@DemarcationMedia For Master Chief, so he can have the CE skin, Pt2, 4, whatever.

Why isn't there a antenna on the back of the hog? Also can you put a marine helmet on the Jimmy rings head? Might ad some nice variations in your marines with that hair
I'm not sure why there isn't an antenna. Also, you could put a marine helmet on the Jimmy Rings head BUT you'd have to cut the peg out of the helmet
Ah okay thanks!
The real reason Chief's on the front windscreen, is because after so long of having that helmet on and not being seen, now his cover is blown and has gone mad because of stage fright.
Ohhhh that makes total sense!
man that was quick
I work fast 🫡
So i actually just got my copy of this set, the Jimmy Rings figure doesn't have his 117 or silver team emblems which i found pretty odd
Really? Huh that IS odd but honestly, kind makes the fig a useful one

Great review as always. Would you say you like this one better than the warthog rally?
Style-wise for the hog, yes I think this one is a bit better. I just personally prefer the matte green to the metallic
Honestly Jimmy Rings fig looks like jangbricks... A little
Hmmm maybe a weird wider Jang
Ok, that looks really good. I’ll get as soon as it arrives to my city.
Let’s… just ignore where it is from.
Greetings from Mexico!
Hahaha yes we'll ignore the source material
Weird that in all the promotional material chiefs helmet has a grey square print on his helmet but its just absent on the physical set.
You're right! That is weird. The box art and real thing really don't match super well in terms of Chief and Vannak
Pretty cool
Does it come with Master Chiefs package?
No

BAHAH bro i died when you said Jimmy Rings
I like the green used on this hog beter than other hogs like the red team hog, the figures are really awesome, i like and dont like the fact that cheif can take off his helmet, cortana is ok, amazing printing on Vannak and kai, my favorite it probably spartan riz, kai's and riz's characters in the show sucks
Agreed! Not a fan of the Cortana but the printing is done really well
hi can the warthog be used without the rubber bands? thanks
It can but it will sag a little
It’s a really good set, even if it comes with Chiefs’… face. (Shutters)
Agreed
Despite the horrible show it was born from, it’s a pretty awesome set

the biggest dubs of this series were the reissue of the revolver mold and the CHUNKY warthog.
Getting the revolver again was a nice surprise
@@DemarcationMedia as someone who makes a lot of mega Customs and OC's, I particularly love the revolvers and I'm super excited to see them back
Are you gonna review the CTF hog or was that just build livestream only?
Definitely gonna review it!!
@@DemarcationMedia can’t wait! Been on a halo 3 kick lol
personally I don't think that the show should hurt any of the fleetcom sets, they're all very well done. not to mention, if you don't like Kai in the show that's fine, but apparently a lot of people like her character.
I agree. Also, Kai's armor is cool, but she's a weird character. I liked Vannak but then they ruined him too
@@DemarcationMedia they ruined Vannak when they killed him off. paramount had one freaking job😂
@@TamaraWarden-k8r Exactly
Every time i hear riz’s name i instantly think 🥴
Yeah it's pretty stupid XD
How tasteful. The Master Chief gets a human face. Kill me. Mega blox, you coulda spared us this one thing.
I mean, not really. Paramount probably required them to add it
I do wonder why in the tv show chief has the military colour armour and then his other spartan members wear grayish blue armour you think they all would wear the same color armour
You would think so. But the show doesn't make a ton of sense sooo...
It's to make him stand out in Silver Team and because Master Chief has always traditionally been green in the games. But notice that Paramount Chief is a very dark green compared to the light green of Halo Infinite Chief. It's done so that Chief still somewhat fits the color palette of Silver Team and the series.
just wondering what kind of printing does mega use im more of a lego star wars guy
Honestly? I have no idea. On the figs, it's thicker than Lego's
prob uv then lego uses pad printing
I don't think it's UV, since it's more like actual paint
will the falcon sweep ever come back :(
The Falcon Sweep is done as far as I know
that's actually so sad, missed my chance to get it. Kinda odd on the mega amazon page it uses the falcon sweep as its "new releases" banner. thought there was some more hope@@DemarcationMedia
I know the UK had a couple minor restocks via the Mattel site, but as far as I'm aware, it isn't ever going back to Amazon. If I'm wrong, I will be very happy about it
@@DemarcationMedia ok, thanks for the info !!
Awesome
"That's a nice hog"
It is indeed
Slightly bigger and nicer looking than the previous ones
YES THE VIDEO I WANTED
It's finally here!
I disliked the show, but shit, hell yeah I'm buying this!
Well worth it!
@@DemarcationMedia am I right marines!?
Do you think they will go on sale after release I can’t imagine them selling good.
Seeing how the Amazon US listing has sold over 500 units already, I think it'll sell fine
Im sorry but im not too knowledgable about this topic but I've been trying to find a set online since the start of this new year and well its hard to even find a scalped version of it. Is this a normal release or is there going to be another soon? I'm just wondering if im too late to the party on this one or what lol.
You've been trying to find this set specifically?
yes this one, idk if im not looking correctly but im not seeing this set anywhere. Not target or walmart, just amazon has one listing but its being sold by scalpers that (im not kidding) are shipping this item until like 6-12 months. again im just not sure where I am, If im late or just in a weird cycle of release when it comes to getting this set. The one in this video that im commenting on. @@DemarcationMedia
Amazon has it, and then Paulmart's Ebay store gets it from time to time. $40 USD is retail. Amazon restocks every so often, and it technically is just now supposed to be releasing
thanks for clearing that up for me, ill have to wait and see. love your content btw i just subbed. @@DemarcationMedia
Nice
What's disappointing is that there are no ODSTs in the mega Halo tv series set
I don't think ODSTs were really a part of the series...
@@DemarcationMediaand im glad, dont want them ruining odsts
im mad cuz i had the numbers "S-134" since halo 5 and now vannick comes around and steals my numbers smh
Darn, that's a bummer
The problem is scalper price
It's on Amazon for its retail price
This warthog is build different
Very literally!
I put my Master Cheeks face on an ODST
Not a bad idea
Love your videos…I know some HALO purists, yourself included, that completely and almost unapologetically shit on the TV show. However you completely miss something while taking this type of stance…there are a lot of us that never played the game nor gave a crap about any of it until the TV show came out. I NEVER played the Halo games until AFTER watching this show. This TV show is what got me interested in the game and these sets. I started watching the show on a whim and loved it. Season 2 especially. Now I’ve gone back to learn the history of the forerunners and the Flood and I basically opened my bank account to this “new” world. I watch your TH-cam channel because of the show you take a dump on. Had no idea you even existed. LOL. Ironic right?
I don't honestly care about the 'lore breaking' stuff in the show. I'm a writer first though and when shows do lazy character development, crappy story beats and just overall make a weak, watered down, taped together show, that's when I take issue. Especially when they have A LOT of money dumped into it. If they focused on making a truly thought out and solid story, I wouldn't be complaining about it, even if it broke 'lore'
@@DemarcationMedia Thank you for responding, that’s awesome actually. You are a rare content creator that actually responds. So, I totally hear you. However, I knew nothing about characters or lore or any of that. I knew absolutely Nothing. I Didn’t know who John was, I didn’t know Who Halsey was, I didn’t know what the covenant was. I just didn’t know. I never played the game. Sure, I saw Halo stuff at stores but just didn’t know. I went into watching the show with zero expectations, it’s probably why I enjoyed it as much as I did. We started watching it because we happened to be watching Yellowstone and the ad for the show looked cool. Total whim. With that said, I’m a pursuer of story and I’m a writer myself. Was there a lot left to be desired with the show? Absolutely. Did I want to know more about the story? Yep. After researching Did I end up finding a storyline that matched the game lore? Not really But even with that I was still fascinated and curious. I was still drawn into the overall story. My point is that the show was the front door for me and it didn’t scare me away, it exposed me to a new world. I don’t think I’m alone. For that reason, it’s a win for 343 and Halo, it keeps the game and everything you love about it going forward and it’s drawing in more and new fans like me.
Spartan r… spartan WHAT?!… 😏
Yeah...yeah. That's the Halo show for you
The Master Cheeks set
Yes
keep the helmet on
100%
@@DemarcationMedia Yep throw that crap in the trash the head
As much as the show was horrible, I think mega did a great job with the warthog.
I definitely agree!
The master cheeks😂😂😂
Yep XD
TALL HOG😈
Am happy theres no kwan or makee a figure am not getting them
A makee or kwan fig would be so dumb
@@DemarcationMedia ikr
Spartan Rizz 💀💀💀💀💀
Yeeeaahhh...
But 66 dabloons?
66?
@@DemarcationMedia 66 Dabloons unsurprisingly when it’s a Third party seller.
@@Ermington321 Ohh, yeah no. Not worth it
Heresy! how can you put a helmet on the beautiful face of the only Jimmy Rings figure we have?
Jokes aside, ignoring the awful show, the set itself looks pretty cool, might have to get it!
And really? You don't like Kai? she was the one character that felt likable!
Kai was not Spartan-like at all, and didn't even really act like a soldier, what with her dying her hair, etc. At least that's how I saw it
Did you see my post yet?
I just did--I actually own Genesis Part 1 and 2's albums in MP3 Format, bought it from Gareth Coker's Bandcamp!
@@DemarcationMedia Awesome!
*Where tf does kai sit*
She doesn't XD She has to run
See i went into the halo show with 0 expectations and enjoyed some parts but they keep butchering it
Yeah they can't stop making dumb choices
In the uk on amazon i still haven't seen the phantom or falcon so ill be lucky to see this set any time soon anyone know a better online store in the uk to get halo sets not ebay because people will overprice it
The Falcon has been more available in the UK direct from Mattel, it isn't coming back to Amazon
@@DemarcationMediaI just got the falcon thanks for the suggestion
Why is the look better looking than other regular warthog
I’m pretty sure this is just to say they want more money
Also demarcation media
If you can observe with me here
People who like the halo show never really played the game or know the lore
Just like the FNAF movie sure was
Not really great but it had some lore to the actual game franchise it’s self
I know nothing about FNAF, but I'd say yeah, people who aren't into the lore of the games can like the show easier
man, its just so unbelievable how much they butchered the show, like him getting his memories back and commander keyes not being a commander but a scientist. cortana not being played by Jen taylor, chief removing his helmet.
the set looks great tho, all that detail, altho it always bugs seeing the 343 warthogs with gasoline jerry cans, even tho im pretty sure in universe theyre hydrogen powered.
The gas cans are full of water
Jen Taylor did play Cortana in the show
@@johnboko7110 oh. oops she just looks and sounds different
@@ruufiss9922 It's ok.
It’s a nice set but I won’t pick it up personally I don’t care about these figs
The figs are GREAT for pop and swaps though
I HATE THE HALO TV SERIES!!!!!!!!!!😡👎🤬👎
But, I love Forward Unto Dawn, Halo: Legends, and RVB still.
FUD was the best live action Halo
Exactly!!!!😃
It’s gay they give you a head option for master chief
It's based on the show, they had to add it
"head"...
Wtf is this? We're did this come from?
XD It's part of the TV show line. Popped up a couple months ago
I stopped watching when you said you hate the show lol
🤷♂️ Your call
The show is absolute trash though
I've got this coming tomorrow. I'm enjoying the show (unlike some people) and I'm excited to finally pair this with the Mongoose.
Now if only we can get the full Silver Team armors in Infinite.
Having the chestplates in Infinite would be great
Halo tv show bad
The show was bad, the sets are pretty good
