The Latest Halo HeroClix Previews
September 9, 2011 by dracs
It seems HeroClix took note when we said that the best kind of Halo HeroClix figure is one you can't see as their latest offerings are the Cloaked Master Chief and Holographic Cortana.
While not the worst Halo HeroClix figures we've seen so far they still aren't great. There's something about the way Master Chief is posed which just does not look right to me. At least being colourless means that this figure has avoided the half sucked jelly baby appearance of the others.
What's your views on these guys? Are they an improvement? Is there hope for the range yet?

Lol! not being able to see the cloaked dude does mean he can’t look so bad Sam!
The pose is a bit weird but if you gave him a skateboard it would look fine 😛
I hate to ask, but what exactly are you trying to do with these articles Sam? That is, this week, Heroclix.com previewed figures on Monday (Seven Deadly Brothers), Tuesday (the Halo guys above), Wednesday (Parasite) and Friday (Queen of Fables). You picked the worst, okay, fair enough, but then what? As I pointed out in the last thread, the sculpts are not strong in Heroclix, but you know what, I think a better point can be made by looking at the preview for these figures on the Heroclix site (http://heroclix.com/heroclix/now-you-see-them/).

Had a look at the website.
From what I saw the Halo clix are far worse than other ranges.
The question should be if they can get it right for super heroes, why so wrong for Halo?
As I said before, if I was a designer for Halo or was involved in licensing the franchise, I would be more than a tad miffed by how poorly it was being represented. Whether they are targeted at 5 year olds or adult collectors they are shoddy.
If it plays the part who cares what they look like. Its Heroclix after all.
Those are not bad at all. There is still hope for Halo Heroclix line after all.
As I said in a previous post , Heroclix arent wargaming figures, we are used to GW/Mantic level figures, HC arent intended as models at this level , there for a game.
I still say they need to bring back MechWarrior, I would give a kidney to be able to run my Clan Wolf force again… =/
