Atriox, leader of the Banished looks imposing through the window on the front of the box! The Build-A-Figure Grunt legs are hidden backside some of the graphics on the front end of the box.The dorsum shows all of the contents, too as the other figures in Series 2. It also shows the corresponding parts for the Build-A-Figure Imperial Grunt. Here'south the plastic tray with the figure, armor parts and accessories along with the instruction manual. Oh, I should have noted this before. The teaching manual is usually sitting backside the yellow cardboard insert (seen through the window above). And so if you don't observe it correct away, look there!

As with the other figures from serial ii, all armor is removable! Of note, the paint application hither is fantastic! Though generally silver, there are some brown and blackness areas well. What makes this even better though is the "pitting" of the armor. That makes it await really boxing worn!

Don't tell Atriox I got a pic of him without his armor on! Seriously though, he looks huge, even without it on! The correct forearm/paw does non have removable armor. That's fins as information technology's game accurate. Note Atriox uses an ODST's breast plate for his belly armor too as ODST shoulder armor for his knees. Yeah, he's THAT big! Hmm, I wonder what poor ODST lost his armor (and likely his life) to Atriox? Lore fans, go on that!!As if Atriox isn't big enough without the armor, here he is in full regalia! Dude is 1 Brute you DON'T want to mess with!

The articulation of the figure is amazeballs! Yes, even though Atriox is acme-heavy, he can easily be posed on one pes! Here I did my all-time to bear witness him starting into a lunge/spring.

Each figure from series 2 includes different parts for the Grunt. Atriox will go yous the Legs for the Imperial Grunt. I'll have the review of that figure afterwards I've reviewed all the other figures from this serial. Atriox'south Gravity Mace is VERY absurd! Annotation that information technology has translucent red blades! I'm So glad Mattel didn't only make those a solid carmine. To the correct, I bear witness a top down view of the Mace as well every bit the official Banished logo. Encounter the resemblance? Now you know why that's their logo, if you didn't already.

The Grunt pieces are the pair of legs. These are not duplicates folks. They are indeed a right and a left leg!At that place are ii plastic pins (as seen in the small plastic purse above). Each figure has these pins for similar usage.

Atriox in orthogonal views. Exist sure to click on this motion picture! There'due south a TON of detail here folks. Don't pass up seeing this pic in a bigger format!

Not to be outdone, I received some pics of the Atriox costume equally seen in the comedic Halo Wars 2 commercials.
Likewise, here is the line-art version of the Ortho used for cosplay:

Evaluation
Sculpt:Excellentten of ten medals! (Tin I requite information technology an 11?) LOL
Articulation:This figure has articulation that at present fairly standard for Mattel Halo figures. 10 out of x medals Same hither…should be an 11!
Paint Awarding:The paint on Atriox's armor has a sheen to it. The added pitting effect as mentioned higher up really makes the armor expect battle tested and worn.10of x medals
Accessories: As Atriox is only known for having his Gravity Mace, it makes sense that that'south his only weapon. It'due south And so well done. As a fan of translucent toys (equally yous longer time readers know), I'm especially happy that the blades on the mace are se-through and not only painted red. ten out of x medals
Playability: Tons of posing possibilities. 10 of ten medals
Overall: fifty medals out of a total 50 medals. (though it could easily exist 52…LOL)

Do I recommend this product? 100% YES! Atriox is the GEM of series 2, in my stance. Everything virtually this figure is then well done. This is a MUST own Halo figure, IMO!
