I bought this toy to put on my husband's grooms cake and he loved it.
His helmet is the one big flaw, as it doesn't sit on his head properly at all. And he didn't disappoint. I purchased the Brute Chieftan from series 1, but the Brute Stalker was the one I really wanted. You would assume it would snap into place, but it doesn't. He's big, heavy and duel wielding a couple of spikers. He's fairly flexible, but the arms can be a bit of a pain as his shoulders don't move all that well. When trying to force it on, the only position it would actually sit well on looked goofy. So I have it just resting where it should be.
looks greatlooks faaaantaaasticbut looks aren't everythingright outta the box, this figure is posed in the position in the pictureand getting him out of it is a serious painthe legs work fine, in fact, they work better than most of the other figures but those gosh darned shoulders#$%^%$#the arms are a serious pain to move, mostly because they are so tough that they have very little give, so you feel like you're going to break themin fact, i did break minethe right wrist was stronger in bond than in plastic, causing the poor guy's wrist to tear, so now i gotta be ginger with it till i can find some super gluein addition, the spikers cannot be dual weilded by any other figure, because the handles are either too big, or that stupid ring/trigger thing on the handles gets in the wayas such, spartans can only hold one at a time and only in their left handokayenough negativenow to positivethe figure is a fantastic addition to any collection as it looks great and provides a nice variety of weapons in that it carries two that are unavalable anywhere elsein addition, the helmet removes, allowing for that "i just dropped your shields" look, and the figure is sturdy, wrists being excluded, you could probably drop and slam it with minimal damageas such i would still recomend it, despite it's minor flaws
