Halo Spartan Gabriel Thorne.


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

My six year old Son is a huge Mega Bloks Halo fan and recently while looking at some sets in Toys R Us we came across a model kit called "Sprukits" by Ban Dai of Halo Spartan Gabriel Thorne:

I picked it up for him to build and wow...I am REALLY impressed! It has 110 pieces all attached to sprues like a typical model kit. The pieces are designed to snap together allowing the completed figure model to be posed in any number of action posses. The fit is absolutely outstanding!! The seams almost completely disappear. The plans were a little daunting for my Son at first (the kit says 8+ on the outside) but he's been building models since he was four so he figured it out. It took him about two hours to put together but he had a blast building it. I have since ordered the other two Halo figures in the series for him (Master Chief and a female Commander named Sarah Palmer). Kits retail for between $15 and $20 USD depending on where you get them.

Anyway, if you are a Halo fan, figure builder, or Sci-Fi fan this may interest you. Here is my Sons build:

Honestly, a light coat of flat, a little weathering and this would look killer IMHO. The only downfall that I can see are the stickers...<_< ...but I understand why they were stickers rather then waterslide (too bad they couldn't have included both though).

Happy modeling!

Regards,

Don.
