First and Favorite Halo Figure
»
The Explosive Ordinance Disposal armored Spartan was my first Mcfarlane figure. It is the most detailed figure that I've ever seen, though i haven't had a close up look at any of the other halo figures. This figure comes with a shotgun and a grenade. It does not come with a sniper rifle as in the picture. The figure can be posed very well.

cool armor...

'EOD' stands for Explosive Ordinance Disposal. This means that this Spartan has to be a one-man bomb squad, defusing and disposing of bombs and explosives. I imagine he's kind of like a United States Marine Corps Combat Engineer. This kind of dangerous work requires heavier, more bulky armor in case of an explosion, and although it looks ugly from a distance, this Spartan soldier stands out from his more aerodynamic brothers. So the armor is cool, but what about everything else? Mine came with a shotgun, and while this is a cool gun, its trigger is molded to the trigger guard, making it impossible for the figure to hold correctly. This mistake can be overlooked, but it is quite irritating. The soldier's right leg sometimes has a hard time staying attached, as well as the right arm. But I've seen worse, and this figure really isn't half-bad. It's great for posing and can easily stand up on its own with some adjustment of the legs and feet. A great addition for any collector.
