My take on the Spartan IV Battle pack…
This Battle Pack gives buyers a chance of army building these four all new figures by Mega.
Contents include: 1x Red Spartan Scout, 1x Spartan Recruit(AC) , 1x Storm Jackal, 1x Imperial Storm Grunt, 1x stand, 1x manual.
Weapons and accessories: Orange Energy shield, a purple plasma pistol, Reach design shotgun(AC), black SAW, and crimson needler.
Figures:
Scout:
The scout uses the Halo 4 design with a red backwash(crimson) and black detailing.
The shoulders are downsized, his visor is gold, and his armour contains the primary scout pieces, the recruit knee pads, and GV-09 Locking forearms.
The details are very accurate and crisp, however the Spartan could use a secondary colour as it could further bring out the detail and make the colouring less dull.
The helmet is also a bit too wide and as before, the shoulder pads were sized down.
9/10
Jackal:
The Storm jackal is once again very game accurate.
The only problem here is that the machine painted the jaw a bit too far up.
This design however makes the jackals reptilian rather than bird-like. Then again they look that way in the game.
9.9/10
Grunt:
Follows the storm grunt in look except with a face mask.
However it is very lacking in articulation like the previous models(legs and arms)
When will their arms and legs be redesigned?
7.75/10
Recruit:
Following the other recruits, this model is no different. The design is superb and rather fits the mega blok design quite well.
A problem here is that on the box art it is clear, but inside he is blue.
9.5/10(thanks to the misleading art)
Overall this is a great set and I highly recommend it.
9/10
Note I found this set in the states by the border.
