McFarlane Toys Destiny Iron Banner Hunter Action Figure I know these aren’t the most impressive or amazing action figures, though they have limited range in motion, the accessories, packaging, sculpt and paint really make this a great buy at $20 and I don’t have enough gripes to dock this a star for the few shortcomings it has. I’m glad Destiny is back, I’m excited and these figures just get me more excited to return to the worlds of Destiny.
Now hopefully we will get some Fallen, Cabal, Vex villain figures or some more main characters like Cayde 6. Any Destiny fan I think will be mostly pretty happy with these Destiny figures. I think out of the 3 figures released so far the Titan has the coolest paint job, but this Hunter has way more colors and a lot going on that really makes it pop. For $20 these are great, I am an avid Destiny fan and a huge action figure collector, I’m used to paying high prices for import figures and things so getting really detailed and well painted figures for $20 is nice. This Iron Banner Hunter comes with the Thorn Hand Cannon (one of my favorite weapons) as well as the Hung Jury Scout Rifle, and a Ghost and display base (included with each figure). And the weapons being able to peg into the figures backs are a nice touch. But hey, I’m just glad they include Ghosts and that each figure’s Ghost has a different shell. I see they have Walgreens/Target/Gamestop exclusives popping up now with different shaders and a different helmet attached, that’s pretty awesome (if you can track them down at a reasonable price, so far no such luck).Įach Guardian figure comes with their own Ghost (as they should), I’d have liked if there was a clear stand for it, or maybe a peg hole and an alternate hand with a peg so you could have the figure hold it better. Hopefully McFarlane just makes a weapons pack that has all sorts of guns that can be used with any figure.
Destiny first iron banner hunter armor series#
I’m glad these have more articulation than most of the Color Top series McFarlane has been doing of late, and I really like the collector friendly packaging they went with for this series. McFarlane is still using their traditional ratcheted joints in some areas, really hard plastics for certain things that can make posing or getting accessories into figures hands rather, annoying. Sculpted detail is great all around, the paint deco and applications are really nice, you may have some slop or missed portions but this is a $20 figure so it’s to be expected. I prefer to play as a Warlock but my 2nd favorite class is the Titan (I know right, what kind of self-respecting Destiny fan doesn’t prefer a Hunter?) but at the moment we’re looking at the Hunter action figure.
Granted I’d have preferred McFarlane went the route they did with their Halo figures and just made the armor pieces removable so you could customize your Guardian like in the game (though you can easily interchange the figures weapons with one another I suppose). This is McFarlane, so if you’ve gotten any of their latest Color Tops figures or any of their Walking Dead figures from the last few years, you’ll know what to expect in terms of detail, paint applications and accessories and articulation. So far we’ve gotten this Warlock (Kings Fall gear), a Hunter (Iron Banner gear) and a Titan (Vault of Glass gear) and will be getting Lord Saladin next month. The Bungie store puts out some great stuff from time to time, and ThreeA released some great 1/6 scale Destiny figures (I’m a Warlock guy so I got a Warlock) but those are pricey, luckily McFarlane is releasing affordable 1/12 scale Destiny figures. Being a fan of the series since the launch of Destiny on September 9th 2014, we’ve not gotten much in the way of merchandise. Destiny 2 debuted yesterday and after playing the beta (as well as the beta for the first Destiny and about 600 hours in actual game) I was very excited to get my hands on this sequel.
