NECA Gears of War Marcus Fenix Series 2 Action Figure (Added Articulation!)

Great action figure
This a great collector's item!! I purchased this action figure for my husband, who is an avid collector, and he loved the mobility and the durability of this product..

Do not buy this toy
Sorry guys, the picture and the general look of this toy is very good, but as many people happened, it happened to me too, when I open the box, the arms of marcus fallen from the body....bad very bad quality....

Brittle paper weight
This is a great action figure that looks awesome but the arm broke at the elbow within an hour of getting it. Really shotty joints.

great gift
Bought this as a gift for my nephew. He loves it! Was delivered promptly and in excellent condition.

GoW 2 Marcus Fenix
Pros:

-No balance issues. Stands well on his own

-The sculpt is faithful to the character's design in-game

-Comes with rifle and pistol

-Durable. So far, I've had no breaks or cracks whenever I've accidentally knocked him over from tables or shelves

Cons:

-His rifle doesn't seem to fit that well in his hands. In the picture shown, his left hand is supposed to be holding the forestock. Unfortunately, I can't seem to place his hand under there. I'm sure I could apply some force, but I don't want to risk snapping his fingers off (can any owners out there reading this give me some tips?)

-Not as much articulation as I would have liked. As I said previously, this figure comes with an extra firearm. You certainly CAN equip him with his pistol, however, he just looks awkward because you can't alter his posing more than a few degrees.

-The paint job is shoddy in certain areas of his ears and face

-Face appears to have cracks, particularly half the left side of his nose. I'm well aware the character has scars and wrinkles in game (as does this figure), but one of the lines appears to be an honest to god crack. I guess they went a little too far in production?

-No place to holster pistol

For those of you still on the fence (particularly big Marcus Fenix fans like me), I'd recommend this figure. I'm pleased with my purchase!
