Two Arbiter figures, side by side. The figure on the left is from the set: Hierarch's Shadow Convoy (2014 I think). On the right, is 2017's Halo Heroes: Series 5 Arbiter. Honestly, these figures aren't even comparable. The new Arbiter is better in just about every way. Better articulation, better mold, and it scales better with human figures than the old Arbiter did with pre-armor system human figures. My only real complaints are availability (I had to spend 3X more than I should have because I had to get it online) and issues with the armor on the upper right arm limiting posability. If you can find this figure for a reasonable price (as in, not $30 USD, looking at you scalpers) get it. It'll be a great addition to your collection.
