Toys and Games Reviews of Halo 3 Series 2 Arbiter

Customer Review: The Arbiter
Summary: 4 Stars

The Arbiter quickly became one of my favorite characters in the Halo storyline back when he debuted in Halo 2. He's one of the bad guys who eventually comes to realize he's been working for the real bad guys, and in turn has been betrayed by the Covenant. The story for this character was great in Halo 2, but Halo 3 left me wanting more for him (the fact that he seems to just "tag along" with the Master Chief does seem to diminish things a bit for him).
Despite everything, he still is one of my favorite characters, and thus I got him to complement my Master Chief figure.
One of my initial thoughts about this figure simply is that this is not a childs' toy. I can imagine damage with some heavy play wear, and on top of that, his energy sword (his sole accessory) is quite sharp.In fact, I'm amazed how sharp it is with todays toy laws.
For the rest: The Arbiter is a well detailed figure with a decent amount of posability. He has a dark brown, bumpy skin with dark blue bands running here and there in between the segments of his gold armor. He boasts 18 points of articulations, although I am slightly irked with some of the (elbows for instance), since they don't bend as much as they could. But this may be intentional, since bending too much might rub on the pieces of armor. The armor itself is nice, with plenty of detail matching the game, although I think in the game he had a more tarnished gold look, not this complete gold look here. Stiil, it looks nice.
The head was also very well done, with his four individual mandibles spread out giving one the impression that he's about to chomp down on something Alien style (indeed, the mouth portion of the Elite design reminds me of the Predator). In fact, teeth can be seen on EACH mandible, and inside the mouth too! My only complaint with the head is that the helmet seems pushed ahead of the head itself slightly too far. Or maybe it's just me. It seems that you can't see he eyes as well as you should from the side of the figure.
The sword itself is another nice feature. It's cast in purple and pink translucent plastic, and as I mentioned before, is quite pointed at the tips. Not a kids toy, but as a display piece, it looks quite deadly in his hand.
The ability to store the sword is also boasted on the package, but does not seem to be actually fully employed with this figure. Like Series 1 Master Chief, there is a hole on the back an right leg, but there is no plastic pin to pin to put in there to store the weapon. In fact, the sword handle itself has a hole to be used to fit on a peg sticking out of his palm. I prefer to display the sword in his hand (since in the game, when he's not using the sword anyway, the energy blade is off anyway), but if I decide to, I might make a custom peg to fit it on.
All in all, a nice figure. I just don't recommend a lot of rough play.

Description of Halo 3 Series 2 Arbiter

Though considered a high commander of the Elites, the Arbiter lost his honor among the Prophets when he failed to protect the first HALO. Disillusioned by the reason behind the Covenant's war against humanity, the Arbiter leads the Elites when they align with the UNSC. Measures 6" tall.
