Halo Reach Warthog Accessory Gauss Cannon Rocket Launcher with Spartan JFO Custom Operator Figure

This was bought some time ago for my 8 yr old son and put aside for Christmas (yesterday). He was originally more interested in the Spartan JFO figure than the rocket launcher. However, with my finding a Warthog for him to attach it to it became an even better buy.The figure itself is up to the usual standard with steel and blue paintwork that is made to look suitably weathered and the normal amount of articulation for the Halo Reach range of figures. Note. This figure does not come with any personal weapons.The rocket launcher fits into the warthog with no problems and turns easily in 360 degrees. Again the weathering is well done. Both sets of tubes can be moved up and down, with enough room between the two sets of launch tubes for the Spartan to stand but the grips for the operator to hold appear very flimsy and are too close together for the figure to get a good grip due to the design of his hands. To get your figure to have any type of grip you have to place his arms close in to his body with his hands nearly touching. It helps to have the nearest launch tube turned upwards to give you more space. It can be done but it is a bit fiddly. Such an oversight detracts from what is for the most part a well thought out item.How durable this item will be depends on how its going to be used. If It's going to be played with then depending on how rough someone is I suspect the grips will be the first things to break. As to how good a buy it is, then that depends on what disposable income you have, what price you can get it for, and of course, how much you want it. I think I paid between £12 and £15 for this at the time along with the canon and operator at just under £10 with free p&p which I think is about right for the quality and as a stand alone item.

Very happy with it however If you are looking to play with it this toy won’t be right as it looks so much better on display in a pose, one bad thing is that the figure doesn’t fit properly with the turret but design and detail is amazing

well it's cool and made okthough I'd recommend the bigger 50 pound cannons for your warthogHOWEVER : after buying a dozen packs - from different series and sellers I can safely say that no two packs even similar are of the same quality.in my moongose gang - 3 - I have seriously different qualitys.I also keep them as models not toys so they should last longer.

We bought one of these for our son and he loved it so much that we bought another, this one, as a gift for a friend. Our so was 8 when we bought it but we bought it for a 12 year old. He loved it. Our son needed a bit of help but it was good fun and easy enough to get stuck into.

Good but a little delicate and the price keeps going up. Figure is basic.

This was purchased for a young enthusiast and meets with his full approval. It is his favourite toy and complements the Master Chief Action Figure.

Cool
