This is a novel idea for a statue that failed miserably IMO.The durability seems good for a statue though. I ended up setting the thing in front of a lamp, which does an okay job I guess.
It has a lightup base I had to see in action. Well, that was a disappointment.
So I got this thing and opened it up. I don't know how they got that picture for Amazon, it doesn't look like that unless you put it in a special lighting stage of some sort.
There are 3 LEDs aiming at the figure, and they are all to dim to do much of anything. They are slightly different colors if you look carefully too -- leading me to think some guy in a shop was just soldering in LEDs from a bluish grab bag.
but don't expect the lightup base to do it for you. It is a nice rubbery thing that won't break easily.
I was a little disappointed that the figure didn't actually light up. It just had 3 small lights that shined on the figure.
now this doll is definatly fun at parties, not only is it the envy of many, but when lite it casts this awesome sillouette on the ceiling, very cool, but you WILL be spendin some money on batteries haha.
There are three little LEDs in the front, which light her unevenly and at a weird angle, bringing out the seams on the plastic on the side of the statue.Getting the battery in also proved to be an adventure. Cortana is awesome, and unfortunately this little statue does her no justice. The screw to the battery compartment would not come out, and I ended up disassembling the entire base and having someone else turn the tiny screw while I held wires in place with one hand and pushing the other end of the screw out with a flathead screwdriver. When I saw "light-up base," I got it in my head that the white area at her feet lit up. Not so. In case you're wondering, that's why I gave it a "2" on education, because you'll learn a little bit on electrical work. *sighs*Once you do get past all that though, the statue does look pretty decent, and makes a nice addition as a night light for the kids or, in my case, a cool accessory in your man cave.
A very nice replica of an imagine transferred from a "virtual" world to a physical world. This item is a definite collector's item & shouldn't be purchased with small children in mind.
I have a soft spot for anything Halo related. Spent many hours playing the Trilogy & reviewing all the material that's available on-line, studying the art work.
What can I possibly say. the entire franchise can be truly described as a work of art from start to finish.
& once it's all said & done. Halo is not just another frivolous video game that is here today & gone tomorrow.
The overall quality of the molding is outstanding as the attention to detail. 5 stars out of 5 stars.
