I like the figures for the most part as they're well done, especially at the standard $20 price point. Wal-Mart, Target, and GameStop consistently carry them. I definitely grabbed a few last year but I'm not sure the line is really going to expand to anything but Spartans in the 6 inch series. They kind of teased some things but we've seen nothing yet.

McFarlane did a good job with the Spartans in Halo: Reach (I was able to get all except two members of Noble Squad) but I only picked up Master Chief and the Spartan Athlon from the succeeding lines. I see the newer figures and they don't look bad but they haven't shown up in this part of the world yet.Wayward Knavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-59042677590389800092022-07-26T15:25:39.547-04:002022-07-26T15:25:39.547-04:00Pokemon is a staple, too, and Jakks' Mario/ Wo...Pokemon is a staple, too, and Jakks' Mario/ Worldof Nintendo line has been going for almost 10 years now.

Halo seems to have a pretty consistent presence even if the company releasing product changes every few years.

Their stuff has been pretty solid with good articulation and quality and decent prices. Their distribution can be very spotty on some lines, though. I'm not sure I ever saw the Universal Monsters or the Cereal Monsters in a retail store, though they were readily available online. They're starting off with Fei Long, Ryu, and Chun-Li. I too would love a reasonably prices and well articulated Street Fighter line that at least delivers the Street Fighter 2 lineup from Championship Edition as well as some of the greatest hits from other games, too. The line could have some serious legs but video game lines are often really weird and seem to end randomly.

There's been a long absence of their figures in this part of the world other than the specialty shops.
