... maybe they don't realize pulling a heavy duty figure like these out of a package by its arm (which would be against its joint, thus hyper extending it, of COURSE it broke when you did that... lol). The new Marcus doesn't have a ton of extra articulation, but they had to call it something to make people realize it was improved, and it very much is. All they really did was throw in some extra joints in the arms, but those extra joints make it very easy to get his rifle into his hands, his left hand around the barrel near the chainsaw slot and its looks awesome. Marcus looks like he's ready to tear apart some Locusts. But my figure is sturdy as a Brumak. I've enjoyed all of these figures from NECA tremendously. But word of advice, never drag something heavy by its weakest point to take it out of very secure packaging... and especially don't whine and blame the figure or the company when you do. Grab the body, where its solid. Lol...

I have collected all of the Gears of War Neca figures so far and while this one is among the BEST LOOKING of the series it is also the least functional. So if you buy these things to keep them on a shelf in the packaging, go for it, it's a gorgeous piece of art but it will never be a collectors item for reasons that I'll get into later.
If however you are like me and like to take these things out of the packaging and position them in a display, avoid this figure at all costs.
The elbow joint is faulty on all of these Marcus Series 2 figures (read the reviews below mine that are reporting the same fault). I've had two and BOTH of them broke at the elbow joint while trying to remove the figure from it's blister packaging! I never even got to the point of trying to pose the figure!
Not only is the elbow joint faulty, but Neca has produced SOOO many more of this figure than the others in Series 2 that several toy stores have reported having MASSIVE quantities of the Marcus series 2 figure while being sold out of the rest of the line. Look around and you can find this figure for [...] shipping due to it being massively overstocked.
So not only is the figure faulty, but it's also been produced in massive numbers that really make it the LEAST collectible figure of the series.
Buyer beware.
Pretty nice. November 24, 2008

Aside from the gun being broken, and one of his arms breaking off, this is a cool toy. Its nicely detailed and is nice and big, too bad its not very durable though. This is definitely a look but don't touch kind of toy.
 faulty dont not buy product November 21, 2008

the arms breaks no matter how gently you touch it, it is not the toy you are looking for i just wanted to put the gun in his hand and it broke, it is not worth hassle of paying for no matter how cheap it is look at the other two toys first they might be what your looking for
Looks great, until its arms fall off... November 17, 2008

The toy looks beautiful, the detail is great. The second I took it out of the package though (yes I take mine out of their packaging) and tried to mount the gun, his arm fell off. It didn't simply detach either, the joint actually broke in half and I barely moved it at all. I managed to putty it back together, putting aside the fact that it now has NO value even outside of the package. When I tried a second time part of the gun broke off and a little piece of hit armor.
Again, I was not rough with it, so I don't know if recieved a faulty product or if it is cheaply made, but if you don't mind having to deal with this stuff than the toy looks great, but it reall isn't worth more than [...] is its gonna fall apart the second you look at it...
Kinda dissapointing...
