Product Description

The Halo 3: Action Figures Series 3: Jackal Major is set in 6 scale, features multiple points of articulation and weapon accessories, and is presented in clamshell packaging. The Jackal Major is clad in sparse silver-black armor, and is equipped with a plasma pistol and energy shield, the latter of which indicates rank via color. The Jackals vulture-like head is situated at the end of a ropey neck, the bristly plumage indicating male gender. Imbued with honed reflexes and heightened senses, Jackals fare especially well as scouts or snipers. Originally recruited as a replacement for the Grunts, the Jackals minimally adhere to the Covenant cause, and will plunder for their own benefit whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Customer Reviews

awesome figure!!!!
When i ordered this figure i thought i was making a mistake but when it got here i was really amazed at how perfect this figure is. His poseability is just outstanding to a figure like this. What is really amazing is how durable he is. I'm not saying to drop him down the stairs and see if he made it though. In all this figure is just a perfect edition to any halo collection and any halo fan. P.s. the plasma pistol is really small in person,be careful not to lose it.

Defective or Poor Toy?
My son asked me to order this toy for him using his allowance money. He LOVES the figure and as other reviewers noted, it's detail and likeness to the game character.

The problems with the toy we received were:

1. Fingers on one hand were already cracked when out of the package.
2. One knee joint was bent sideways and would not allow the leg to bend properly to pose it.
3. One arm was not seated properly in the socket and the arm will not stay up to hold the shield.

We've returned the item, and ordered another. Hopefully the next one will be able to be at least a little bit of an real "action figure", which for my son means posing and rearranging his figures into different positions, not rough and damaging play.

My son (11) requested that I give this toy a 3 star in durability, I would have rated it lower.

Fine detail, stubborn in posing...
The jackals are one of the most annoying enemies in the video games, and this toy has brought that quality to life. Yes, it's highly detailed and attentively sculpted. It's also been the hardest of all the Halo 3 figurines to put in a balanced stance. The feet are really tiny and the shield is awkwardly heavy; I find I have to constantly let him lean backward onto a Brute. This is a model that could have greatly benefited from a base, much like the Drone. He's also the strongest indicator that the sculptors sacrifice consistency in scale for a satisfactorily durable model - stand this guy beside a Spartan, and you'll know. His eyes are about level with the Spartan shoulders. In the game they're no taller than the bottom of his ribs (same with Drone, they're way too big compared to human units). And I know it's a trivial matter; I just like things to be consistent.
