I purchased the Brute Chieftan from series 1, but the Brute Stalker was the one I really wanted. And he didn't disappoint. He's big, heavy and duel wielding a couple of spikers. He's fairly flexible, but the arms can be a bit of a pain as his shoulders don't move all that well.
His helmet is the one big flaw, as it doesn't sit on his head properly at all. You would assume it would snap into place, but it doesn't. When trying to force it on, the only position it would actually sit well on looked goofy. So I have it just resting where it should be. |

| Hmmm, maybe? mabye not? |
looks great
looks faaaantaaastic
but looks aren't everything
right outta the box, this figure is posed in the position in the picture
and getting him out of it is a serious pain
the legs work fine, in fact, they work better than most of the other figures
but those gosh darned shoulders
#$%^%$#
the arms are a serious pain to move, mostly because they are so tough that they have very little give, so you feel like you're going to break them
in fact, i did break mine
the right wrist was stronger in bond than in plastic, causing the poor guy's wrist to tear, so now i gotta be ginger with it till i can find some super glue
in addition, the spikers cannot be dual weilded by any other figure, because the handles are either too big, or that stupid ring/trigger thing on the handles gets in the way
as such, spartans can only hold one at a time and only in their left hand
okay
enough negative
now to positive
the figure is a fantastic addition to any collection as it looks great and provides a nice variety of weapons in that it carries two that are unavalable anywhere else
in addition, the helmet removes, allowing for that "i just dropped your shields" look, and the figure is sturdy, wrists being excluded, you could probably drop and slam it with minimal damage
as such i would still recomend it, despite it's minor flaws |
