McFarlane Toys Halo Reach Series 1 UNSC Trooper 2 Pack

I was severely disappointed with these figures. I thought it was great value as you get two of them and I also ordered the Warthog car so that I could pose them with it. Seeing as how they are from the same set of McFarlane Halo figures, it would make sense that they would suit each other.Imagine my shock when I discovered that the Marines cannot be posed to sit down. This would be fine as I am collecting many Halo figures so I have back-ups to sit in the Warthog except for a few other issues I have.The Reach series figures are not made to scale with the previous Halo figures (like Halo 3 series for example). What I mean by this is that these Marines are bulkier and bigger than Master Chief himself which makes no sense and ruins the collection for me!Perhaps I am going overboard but I wouldn't recommend these if you are purposefully collecting Halo figures. Either don't get them at all, or only get them with the Reach series. This also goes for the Elite Minor which I purchased previously. He is the same size as Tartarus and bigger than the Halo Wars Arbiter!To make matters worse, the Heavy Marine in this pack kept coming apart as I tried to pose him. His pelvic area was literally backwards which meant his butt was in front. I tried to sort it out but his legs keep coming off. These figures are not as easy to pose as older figures and have less joints, making them quite rigid.All in all, very disappointing. They look cool though.
