Anyone collect Halo or Halo 2 toys? I have Halo 2 series 1 Master Chief. The one I want to get most is the series 3 Spec-ops Grunt. Anybody Collect?
-
I used to be a hardcore Halo Collector - I have all of Series 1 (carded and loose, except for the vehicles, which I have loose) including 4 Active Camo Master Chiefs! 8)
I stopped being a "completist" on this line after the first series of the Halo 2 figures - now I buy just the ones that look good. On my desk right behind my keyboard I have 6 various Master Chiefs (including a custom one in my "cobalt" color scheme ;)).
Halo rules and these figures are great! I am really looking forward to the newest assortment
-
yea, i got a good couple of them but i only buy the ones i like. been collecting since they first came out
-
I think I have 5 or 6 from Halo 2 and two miniwarthogs that I now use for clones. They are pretty nice. I'm a huge fan of the game.
-
I played around with these years ago before they came out at Gencon and was planning on picking up a couple, but the price was too much IMO. My roomate has the Halo 1 Black Master Chief; it's pretty good but something is a tad bit off about it IMO. I used to collect the smaller versions, but my Suncoast never had any new stock and it became a hassle tracking them down, so I stopped.
-
I only collect the smaller scale Covenant figures and vehicles as they can be used as alien species in the Cantina et. all.
The Covenant vehicles (Ghost, Banshee, and up-coming Spectre) all hold Star Wars figures so I use them for customizing. I picked up 6 Halo2 Ghosts and 1 each of teh Halo Banshee and Halo2 Banshee. I planon picking up a Spectre or 2 as well as the upcoming Heretic Banshee.
-
I'm definitely picking up the Spectre when I see it. That's my favorite vehicle in Halo 2, especially when I'm online. My friend and I play every-man-for-himself Sniper King on Headlong, and we just gun people down in the Spectre just to tick 'em off. ;D
-
My GameStop discontinued its action figures... :'(
I was in there last night and I don't know, they rearranged and everything and they aren't there! Maybe they'll put them out after XBOX360 comes out. Darn, I really wanted the Spectre and Arbiter!
-
I collect these, but I don't have anywhere NEAR all of the line. I just can't find them anywhere. I've got a lot of the different chiefs, but I'm short on my vehicles and aliens. Are they making a new Cortana? I'd really like to get one of those, but I just can't find her anywhere.
-
No. Suprisingly, they're not. Head on over to www.joyridestudios.com (ftp://www.joyridestudios.com). It gives you pics and info on all the Halo/Halo2 figs they've made/making.
-
I am currently customzing the one Spectre I have found into a "H.I.S.S." (Hover Interceptor Speeder Sentry) for my "Brotherhood Of The Serpent" Star Wars/Cobra crossover!
-
Cool. That's the other one I really, really, really want to find. Can't wait to see it.
-
I only have a couple spartans, and I'd really like to get some aliens and minifigs
-
I've only got 2, Heretic Elite (which is brand new) and a Brown Spartan (on it's way from eVilBay)...so if anyone has any they'd like to sell, I'll be more than happy to trade or something. ;D
-
It looks like Series 8 is going to be the last series of Halo 2 figures. Series 9 and 10 are cancelled. (http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=719046)
Figs in Series 8:
Master Chief v.4 (http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2_8_mc.asp)- Shotgun, Pistol, and Flood Infection Form
Covenant Jackal (http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2_8_jackal.asp)- Plasma Pistol and Shield
Heretc Elite Leader (http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2_8_heretic_elite_leader.asp) (now named Sesa 'Refumee)- 2 Plasma Rifles and Holodrone
Heretic Grunt (http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2_8_heretic_grunt.asp)- Plasma Pistol, Shipping Delayed Due to "Production Issues"
:(
-
That Heretic Grunt would be so much better if it included a bigger gun. I forget the name of it, but there's this gun that the Grunt's use in the game and it has a knife-like thing on the back end. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
-
Umm...what game are you playing, Roton? ???
The only weapons the Grunts used were plasma rifle and needlers, and I think at some places on Legendary, Plasma Rifles.
The Brutes, on the other hand, had the grenade launcer with the melee blade on the end. But the Brutes were really different than the Grunts.
-
Oh ya, Brutes are what I was thinking of. I always get them mixed up. My bad. :-[

You're thinking of a Brute Shot.
(http://xboxmedia.gamespy.com/xbox/image/article/562/562670/2_1099367270.jpg)
Lol... If a Grunt tried to pick one up, it would crush them. So it would be better if it didn't include a Brute Shot.
-
Yeah, that's the gun.
-
This figure looks sharp:
(http://joyridestudios.com/images/news/2006-07/prophet_of_regret.jpg)
I loved the part in Halo 2 where you got to beat the crap outta this guy, so this is a must for me. Sucks that there's only one Hollywood Video near me... Hope they'll carry it.
Does anybody know the release date for this? Is it already out? Has anyone picked it up so far?
-
im gonna buy him he looks cool as hell! i have to many spartans but i dont know where they went so im gonna start buying more spartans and elites bc there the coolest im just happy as anything that the only spartan i dint lose was my halo 1 master cheif bc hes my fav ;D (http://i1.tinypic.com/23lnk12.jpg) just cant find his machine gun :'(
-
i dont think hes out yet bc i've been at hollywood video renting my movies and havent found him yent but i have 2 holly wood vids near me so far anyone who cant find it when it comes out if i find two i'll pick both up and give the other 1 to u ;)
-
Stopped by Hollywood Video today. No luck with the Holo Regret, but I did pick up a Series 3 Spec-Ops Grunt on clearence for $9.99.
-
sweet
-
I wish they would make a regular grunt..and the Heretic Grunt has been postponed due to production problems.
-
they maxde a regular grunt in the halo series but thats it
-
I wish they would make a regular grunt
Both orange and red flavors of infantry Grunt were released in the Halo 1 line... And a Spec-Ops Grunt was released in the Halo 2 line... Hope they make a Green Grunt (Heavy Gunner) and a White Grunt (Pilot). They could both be repaints of the Spec-Ops Grunt, pack a Needler and Plasma Grenade in with the white one, and a Plasma Turret and Plasma Pistol in with the green one and you'd be all set.
-
Received my micro die-cast Halo 2 Warthog in the mail today...
-
Will the recently released Series 8 be that last wave? I was wondering because there's still a lot of characters and weapons to be made, like:
7' Figures:
Sergeant Johnson (Halo 2) w/ Beam Rifle & Battle Rifle
Commander Miranda Keyes w/ Dual SMGs & Frag Grenade
UNSC Marine (Halo 2) w/ Rocket Launcher & Frag Grenade
Elite Honor Guard w/ Energy Sword & Plasma Rifle
Spec-Ops Elite Commander w/ Covenant Carbine & Energy Sword
Brute Honor Guard w/ Brute Plasma Rifle
Green Grunt (Heavy Gunner) w/ Heavy Plasma Rifle & Plasma Pistol
White Grunt (Pilot) w/ Needler & Plasma Grenade
Elite Flood w/ Plasma Rifle & Covenant Carbine
Sentinel 2-Pack w/ 343 Guilty Spark
Accesories:
Sentinel Beam
343 Guilty Spark
2401 Penitent Tangent
Fuel Rod Gun
Any I missed?
Hope that Series 8 isn't the last wave, after all, it's more than a year 'til Halo 3's released.
-
Spec-Ops Elite Commander w/ Covenant Carbine & Energy Sword
Hope that Series 8 isn't the last wave, after all, it's more than a year 'til Halo 3's released.
He's in Series 8- just with different weapons I think.
I remeber hearing on some forum (not SW, a Halo one) that Series 8 was the last Halo 2 wave, so Joyride can focus on planning the Halo 3 figures.
If I recall, the figures were out like 2 months before the game- some exclusives were in stores almost 3 months I think.

That's weird, the last wave of Halo 1 figures came out around 4-5 months before the release of Halo 2... Hopefully the year-long break between Halo figures means we'll get some really great Halo 3 product.
-
Looks like they're putting out some last little items:
Halo 2 Weapons Pack (http://www.diecastexpress.com/shopping/prod_detail/main.asp?productID=103354&maincatID=10463)
UNSC Small Turret, Covenant Small Turret, Brute Plasma Rifle, Shotgun, Assault Bomb, Frag Grenade, Plasma Grenade.
That looks pretty cool.
Jackal Major (http://www.diecastexpress.com/shopping/prod_detail/main.asp?productID=103330&uid=3309484D-E667-4713-99A4-19F2772156E9-7883938&maincatID=10463&catID=10463)
Same version of the Series 8 (or 7?) Jackal with a gold shield.
Blue Spartan (http://www.diecastexpress.com/shopping/prod_detail/main.asp?productID=103353&uid=3309484D-E667-4713-99A4-19F2772156E9-7883938&maincatID=10463&catID=10463)
Includes Large Stationary Turret (the one on top of bases on multiplayer), Blue Flag, Shotgun, 2 SMGs, and interchangeable left hand.
This guy comes with lots of goodies....I like that.
Finally, a Red Spartan (http://www.diecastexpress.com/shopping/prod_detail/main.asp?productID=103327&uid=3309484D-E667-4713-99A4-19F2772156E9-7883938&maincatID=10463&catID=10463) with a Battle Rifle and Plasma Small Stationary Turret.
All are Diecastexpress.com (Joyride's online dealer) exclusives and are expected to ship late September.
-
I thought Series 10 was cancelled... (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RA76358O)
Hopefully JRS decided to not cancel Series 10... I'd really go for an Elite Flood.

Nice score on the Ghost.
Picked up the new Halo book, Ghosts Of Onyx, at Borders.

Got the newish Series 8 Heretic Elite Leader for my birthday.

Noticed that the postponed Wave 8 Heretic Grunt has been taking off Joyride's site: (http://www.joyridestudios.com/halo2.asp)
Veeeeewy interesting...
I wonder if this thing will ever see the light of day...
:P
-
Got the Halo Graphic Novel for Christmas. Very awesome read, would recommend it to all Halo fans.

I was wondering, does Joyride still have the license to make Halo figures? I was wondering because I read somewhere that they lost the license. Is this true?

Gentle Giant And Microsoft Form A New Covenant
February 9, 2007, Burbank, Ca. Gentle Giant Ltd. announces a new partnership with Microsoft and Bungie Studios, that will bring fans of the best selling Halo franchise a series of high end collectibles and figures. Halo is a premier title for the Xbox platform, with the eagerly awaited third installment in the trilogy currently in development by Bungie Studios.
Gentle Giant plans a full slate of collectibles that will entrance casual Halo gamers and hardcore Halo fans alike. The license spans the Halo trilogy, meaning that Gentle Giant will produce a range of products from the entire series, including:
3-inch block figures (produced under the official Kubrick name in partnership with Japanese toy giant Medicom, pioneers of the block figure category),
12-inch collectible figures
resin mini-busts, and
1/4-scale mixed material statues
This is something of a dream scenario for us, said Gentle Giant Vice President of Product Development and Design Dev Gilmore. Weve had a long standing business relationship with Medicom and only have the utmost respect for everyone there and the products they produce, so were thrilled to partner with them on the official Halo Kubricks. Plus we have the opportunity to break some new ground and bring a whole new line of amazing collectibles to the Halo-loving masses. It doesnt get much better than that.

Dammit! (http://http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=6&show_article=1518&nl=1)
This really sucks, I was looking forward to Joyride's Halo 3 figures...
Looks like the 7' action figure license is up for grabs. Watch Mattel get it and release 20,000 Master Chief variants. I can see it now...
Master Chief
Master Chief (Jet Wings)
Master Chief (Ice Armor)
Master Chief (Fire Armor)
Master Chief (Kung Fu Grip)
Master Chief (Mega Grip)
Master Chief (Venom Armor)
Master Chief (Rocket Boots)
Master Chief (Power Attack)
Master Chief (Brute Slaying Armor)
Master Chief (Grunt Slaying Armor)
Master Chief (Holographic)
And Cortana, Brute, Marine, and Prophet Of Regret figures packed x1 per case each...
:P

Pretty neat, but I'm reluctant to start all over. Likely I'll just get past Joyride figures to satisfy my Halo fix...

Finally revelaed on their site... These are sweet !

Holy schnapp!
Those figs look great! They rival some of Joyride's best work. However, I'm reluctant to start all over, so I won't be picking any of these up. Except Cortana. That I have to get.
-
What's the scale there? That's some nice stuff.
-

6"
-
Oy! Oh well, they're still really nice... Smaller scale and I think I'd be more into it, but they're really nicely sculpted. Love the covenant figures.
-
I am at least getting the master chief and once they start the repaint spartans I will get those...
-
What's the scale there? That's some nice stuff.
6"
I'm pretty sure It's 5'' scale. Could be wrong though.
-
When do those come at? Where are they sold? That Chief looks awesome.

They should be out first quarter of '08, from January to March is my bet. I love that Cortana.

Joyride's official site used to have good pictures of the entire line... But, since the Joyride Halo line is kaput, the website is kaput. Sorry I can't help you out there.

Picked up a Halo 2 S3 Ghost w/ Brute at Amazon for $8.
-
Received my Ghost w/ Brute from Amazon.
Both the Ghost and Brute are much bigger than I'd thought they would be, lots of great detail on both of them. The Brute has some pretty good articulation too. SW figures fit perfect on the Ghost, especially the AT-TE Gunner.
-
Where do they sell Halo toys? Online only?
I wouldn't know, I just got into Halo.

Joyride was the company that made Halo figures for Halo: CE and Halo 2. Sadly, they lost the license and now McFarlane has it. You can still find some Joyride figures at stores like GameCrazy, GameStop, or Toys R Us, and also online. Amazon has a buttload, and a few under $10. McFarlane's Halo 3 figures are set to be released around February/March of next year. You can preorder them on Amazon for $12.99 each. Hope that helps. :)
-
I heard W*M will get an exclusive so I answered my own question. I might pick some of the first figures up though, I'm going to Game Stop soon to trade in some old PS2 games I play any more ( & LSW 1 & 2 because I'm getting the Complete Saga).
-
http://spawn.com/news/news3.aspx?id=13301
Wave 1 is hitting soon. Keep an eye out!
-
Bump again.
There coming out Tuesday but mainly at W*M.
-
They;ve been out for like a week.
Wal-Mart and GameStop.
Gamestop has the exclusive steel spartan .
-
Technically, today was the "official" release date for these figures but stores have had them out for about a week.
I would highly reccomend picking at least one up if you're a Halo fan. I bought the GameStop Exclusive Steel CQB Spartan and the figures are top-notch. Great articulation (almost too much), unique paintjobs ("battle damage" and paint details on undersuit), Interchangeable armor, these guys have it all. If they were only an inch and a half shorter, they would be in scale with Star Wars and would blow Hasbro's work out of the water...
-
I;m personally glad they are not too small.. I was actually hoping they would be bigger. Especially for the price point.
-
So who is heavily collecting this line? I ordered a Cortana off Amazon, but I'm on the fence about getting more into this line. I figure a small display of MF figures couldn't hurt...
-
I'm not too into the game(s), but I'm thinking sbout getting a couple of figures from this line. Master Chief looks cool, but what I'm really looking at are the Brute figures. That's a neat alien design. The only thing detering me is the price per figure.
-
Received my MF Cortana. A lot smaller than I thought she'd be, but she still is pretty neat.
-
None yet. :'(

SDCC Exclusive on the way. Here. (http://spawn.com/news/news2.aspx?id=13354)
-
Just wanted to bump this up since soon wave two will be out. I'm going to need some help securing the exclusives this go around as they are many.
If you can help me out with Halo 3 figures I have a short list to look for. All are exclusives. The first wave was scarce in my parts and I had to resort to eBay. Something I did not want to do.
Here's the short list:
WAVE 2 due out around June ( I only need one of each with exception to the last one in the list):
Spartan EOD (Blue)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (STEEL)-Game Stop Exclusive
Spartan ODST (CYAN)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan E.V.A. (BROWN)-TRU exclusive
Spartan ODST (Black)-this one is the only non-exclusive one. I need 3 of these
Blue colored for Wal*Mart (selling theirs for $9.99 each), Brown colored for TRU (selling theirs for $11.99 each), and Steel (grey) colored for Game Stop (selling theirs for $13.99 each).
Any help would be greatly appreciated and of course I'll pay cost plus shipping so there is not cost to yourself in the end. Don't make a special trip on my behalf (especially with the price of gas nowadays), just whenever you happen to be on a toy run, if you could check the Halo stuff.
Thanks to any and all who may help.

Bumpy bump.
It's getting close to when wave 2 is going to hit retail.
Just wanted to remind folks of that. (If you can help me as well-see list above this psot for what I need help getting.)
-
Another bump up since it's been a few weeks. These are due out within a week or so (approximately).
I really could use your help with this.
Again, here are the ones I'm looking for:
WAVE 2 due out around June ( I only need one of each with exception to the last one in the list):
Spartan EOD (Blue)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (STEEL)-Game Stop Exclusive
Spartan ODST (CYAN)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan E.V.A. (BROWN)-TRU exclusive
Spartan ODST (Black)-this one is the only non-exclusive one. I need 3 of these

On a GREAT note...
Wave 2 is IN STOCK at BBTS:
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MCF11598&mode=retail
Also, TRU has some of them on their website for pre-order and it's due July 21 for them.
So go get them already, why are you still reading this! heh heh

If anyone is going to SDCC and is NOT getting the exclusive Halo set, would you PLEASE get it for me??? I'll pay up front for it.

Please help. I paid through the nose last wave, eBaying the final two I needed (both being the Wal*Mart ones). I'd rather NOT do that again.
Thanks to any and all who may help. Sorry for the shameless begging...
-Sal
-
Carp, I forgot, there is also a GOLD colored Spartan exclusive to FYE and Suncoast.
PLEASE help. I need one of these as well as the few others I listed.
These exclusives are getting to be ridiculous. For this specific one, I called all of my FYE/Suncoast stores within a 25 mile area. Either they aren't carrying them in store or the couple that have carried Halo figs in the past only get a case and then it's done.
What's the frackin point of having these exclusives if stores aren't going to carry them??
I DON'T want to eBay these, but I can see that happening. GRRR!
-
Scored the TRU exclusive last night. So I just need the two WalMart, one FYE/Suncoast exclusives and 2 mass retail ODST (Blue visor) figures and I'm done with this wave.
-
I hope the Recon figure is available everywhere. Atleast we can have one type of Recon thing. :'(
I wish they would of had Rogue as the special helmet, because that's the only helmet (Elites included) in the game that I hate.
-
Crap, here's my needs:
Ok guys, thanks to Justin my Halo wants are now:
Spartan EOD (Blue)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (CYAN)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (STEEL)-Game Stop Exclusive
Spartan (GOLD) colored FYE and Suncoast Exclusive
Spartan ODST (Black)-this one is the only non-exclusive one.
-

Wait, what recon one??? I don't recall ever seeing anything posted about a recon figure, exclusive or otherwise.

Spartan ODST (Black)-this one is the only non-exclusive one.
I'll keep a look out for you. I will say to call your local FYE/Suncoast's and ask them about it. The only one remotely around me only got in TWO of them. I lucked out and happened to call at the right time on Wednesday and they got them in yesterday. I had to drive 30 miles one way to get it, so it was a little costly for me in gas. However there is only one on eBay right now and it's upwards of $41. So work on that one.
The Gamestop/EBgames one isn't too hard. Again call around for that one. If you're in one of their stores, ask them to look it up at other stores and see if you can have one special delivered to your local store.
The WM ones are going to be a pain in the arse again. I never found them from the first wave and subsequently had to eBay the darned things. I paid more than I'm normally willing to spend on such things. I'm SO hoping that doesn't happen again. However the very discouraging news (at least for me) is that I've visited no less than 11 different WMs in the last 2 weeks, and NONE of them knew what I was talking about with regards to the Halo figs. None of them could help with special ordering, etc. I've been asking, begging, pleading my local store to carry them, but to no avail...
The mass retail black ODST is NOT a Spartan, so make sure you correct that when asking for it. It has completely different armor other than the helmet from the regular Spartans. It's more a camo jumpsuit with some armor on it.
Like I said, I'll look out for you, I just ask the same in return. Cost plus shipping as per usual.

The Gamestop/EBgames one isn't too hard. Again call around for that one. If you're in one of their stores, ask them to look it up at other stores and see if you can have one special delivered to your local store.
The WM ones are going to be a pain in the arse again. I never found them from the first wave and subsequently had to eBay the darned things. I paid more than I'm normally willing to spend on such things. I'm SO hoping that doesn't happen again. However the very discouraging news (at least for me) is that I've visited no less than 11 different WMs in the last 2 weeks, and NONE of them knew what I was talking about with regards to the Halo figs. None of them could help with special ordering, etc. I've been asking, begging, pleading my local store to carry them, but to no avail...
The mass retail black ODST is NOT a Spartan, so make sure you correct that when asking for it. It has completely different armor other than the helmet from the regular Spartans. It's more a camo jumpsuit with some armor on it.
Like I said, I'll look out for you, I just ask the same in return. Cost plus shipping as per usual.

Thanks Sal. I will be hitting some Wal-marts this weekend. I will definetly be keeping my eye out for you. A friend of mine was able to grab the TRU one for me.
Wal-mart is always a pain.
I called like three Gamestops with no luck. :(
ANd they closed all the FYE/Suncoasts in my area.
I am so S.O.L.

Hmm, I might be able to score a Gamestop one for you. ( I might have already said that, and if so apologies for repeating).
What I don't get about FYE/Suncoast is that if they have an exclusive, you'd think they'd WANT to SELL them...
A rumored I've heard is that for the stores that will carry them, they will only get 2-4 figs. That's beyond ridiculous.
Anyway, here's hoping we can help each other on these.

Well....no sooner did I post the previous response then I checked my eBay account.
I won an auction for both the Gamestop and mass retail ODST figures. If you want them, let me know. total is $33.56 for the auction (including shipping). I can see if the seller would ship straight to you. Otherwise, he'd ship to me, then I'd have to ship to you, so it would be a few dollars extra for that shipping as well.
Just let me know. (I'll provide the eBay auction number to you for proof-by PM-if you want it).
I was able to score the Black ODST. So I'm now just down to the two WM figs for this wave and I'm done with wv2!
-Sal

After some calls and help from some friends...
My needs now looks like this:
Spartan EOD (Blue)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (CYAN)-Wal*Mart Exclusive
Spartan ODST (Black)-this one is the only non-exclusive one.
Looksing better. :D
Thanks for the offer though bro.
I hit six Wal-marts this weekend but scored Zip !!!!! :'(

My local TRU got Halo figs in for the first time in at least three months, so I picked up a TRU exclusive Brown Spartan EVA.
-
I got my first 2 Halo figures in the mail yesterday, the SDCC exclusives.
-
Well, I'm getting my case of Halo busts shipped to me and should have it by WED or THUR. I'll have one each of the red and blue and two Master Chiefs. Not sure if I want the extra MC. If not, I'll sell it at cost plus shipping.
Anyone interested, PM me and I'll let you know once I get the package if I'm going to keep it or not.

Been seeing more an more of these. I have to say, it's might tempting to pick at least one up.

Picked up a Series 3 Flood Combat Form at TRU.

Before you do, I've got several extras and most were exclusives. If you're interested I can post a list and the cost for each (at cost of course).
-
Picked up a Series 3 Flood Combat Form at TRU.
You can get the Human Flood for CHEAP on Amazon.com.
$3.99 per figure! Now THAT is cheap for a Halo fig. The reason why this one is so cheap I think is due to the lack of articulation. But it's still a sweet figure. I already had three beofre seeing this price, but I may just buy some more because that is such a good price.

Well, I'm in need of help for one of the latest figures. It is the Blue Hayabusa ( http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3824 ) exclusive to Wal*Mart. I'm not worried about card condition. If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. The figure should cost $10 plus tax. I'll pay cost+shipping+$5 extra for your trouble.
Please PM me and/or respond in this thread if you can help.
Here's a pic of the fig:

Whew this topic needs a serious refresh...
Wave 6 (Medal wave) is due out any time now. I have a complete wave on order from BBTS as well as an extra each of: Brute, Flood pureform, White Recon, 6 red grunts.
Also, be on the lookout for the remote control Warthog (can be found at Gamestop for about $25). There are also a RC Mongoose and RC Hornet (yes it FLYS!) coming this month.
As well the McF Halo Mongoose sets are due to drop this month as well.
Damn, I'll be spending about $400 on Halo stuff this month. Just at the WRONG time for me too... I'm buying a house. Well, thankfully I've had these toys budgeted for, but still my wife may have a small conniption.
-
I picked up my very first Halo figure, the green one with Rockets. Ross, $4.99. Glad I got one, but the accessories seem easily breakable.

Green with Rockets? Do you mean Master Chief?
If so, that's from an older wave, but man, that's a great price!
I've got an ever increasing collection of these figures now. At last count it's approx 150 figures.

I've done like Anton and nabbed some of these at discount stores for cheap, just for the accessories alone. Pretty cool and can work with SW scaled figures.

Not to burst any bubbles here, but did you know that there is a third mongoose? It comes with a Crimson and Silver CQB Spartan.
Main link: http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=4028
(http://www.spawn.com/toys/games/other/mongoose-cqb/images/other_mongoose-cqb_photo_01_dp.jpg)
Likewise when you say waiting on your favorite, did you know that the picture you posted was NOT of Master Chief? In fact the one you posted is a Spartan from the "Halo Wars" video game, not Halo, Halo 2 or Halo 3. There is a significant difference in the armor and coloration.
For the record I too am awaiting this specific figure. It was to be in the latest wave of figures that is currently out in stores, but for some reason McFarlane pulled it back. It will now be coming out in a two-pack with the actual Master Chief. See pic below:
(http://www.spawn.com/toys/games/other/spartan2pack/images/other_spartan2pack_photo_01_lg.jpg)
Here's the main link: http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=4100
I've been collecting this line since McFarlane took it over. I've enjoyed it quite a bit and it's not really expensive to collect, save a few exclusives, mostly stemming from overseas. Still, it's nothing compared to the money I've spent in the past on SW.
Jesse, if you're interested in just the accessories, then you might be interested in the weapons pack. They issued one a wave or so ago and are reissuing it. Here it is:
(http://www.spawn.com/toys/games/halo7/weaponpack/images/halo7_weaponpack_photo_01_dp.jpg)
And the main link: http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=4093
It's a decent mix of both Human and Covenant weaponry. Though if you're after an AR or BR, then yeah, you're going to have to buy the figures for now. I'm hoping for a NEW Weapons pack that includes those weapons among others, instead of this reissue. But you take what you can get I suppose.
-
I've never even seen those packs or I probably would've picked one up.
-
Yer i know its a 2 pack but after the 3 master chief,s i already have i believe the 2 pack idea is the only way they can sell him to me a forth time thankfully he comes with the "M7057/Defoliant Projector"
(http://www.spawn.com/toys/games/other/spartan2pack/images/other_spartan2pack_photo_03_dp.jpg)
and yes i know bout the crimson mongoose but Australia wont get that one.
(there are things in this life that we just have to come to terms with eg: living in the highest taxed contry in the world)
-
I can prolly get you a decent deal on a Crimson CQB w/mongoose. LMK if interested.
And yeah, the flamethrower is awesome. I've been waiting for that weapon.
-
Every day i check the MCfarlane website for new pics of wave 8 but they just don't seem to be posting does any one know when they will?
oh and they just posted about halo reach figures.
We'll bring the heavy weapons into the fracas with all new five-inch action figures, in-scale vehicles and deluxe figure packs
omg so excited

I already knew there would be figures from the game. What I'm more excited about are the vehicles. Hopefully we now get something bigger than mongoose. I really hope this opens the door for the warthog.
If so, I can see them makign the "Falcon." No, not the Millenim Falcon, but the Halo Reach Falcon. This the mini-Pelican VTOL aircraft seen in the REACH trailer.
Thanks for posting the link.

Ok well this set of pics were from that big diorama that they made but the scale is simalar to the 5 inch figs so we have some sort of idea

i want a warthog so bad.
-
ok...where the hell did you get those from? lol
Those are awesome.
That tank is huge. If it were made into a toy, I'd guess it to be in the $150 range. While I'd buy one, I don't know if there is enough of a fanbase (of buying fans) to warrant it being made.
Now the Warthog though, that is a different story. That would be much less expensive, I can see it being in the $40-60 range. And McFarlane could easily make both the Turret and Gauss canon versions at the same time. In fact they could include the parts for both to allow us to choose which version we want to display. Though see how toy manufacturer operate, I would see McF releasing the Turret one first, then the Gauss later, possibly as an exclusive. Oh and then there is the artic deco version.
That Banshee is sweet. That's easily a $30 toy.
Damnit why did you have to show these? lol I wants them, I wants them! heh heh
-
That Banshee is sweet. That's easily a $30 toy.
$30? You do see the water bottle behind it for a scale reference? That's a pretty big model.
-
Ok just for your viewing pleasure cause i know i saved these pics cause i was like wow
You do see the water bottle behind it for a scale reference? That's a pretty big model
yer i do have to agree the Banshee is significantly larger scale for some reason but the tank is quite accurate.
but the most we can hope for is a warthog. I love the idea and i quote In fact they could include the parts for both to allow us to choose which version we want to display
thats awsome i hope they see this thread. Enjoy.

No that's fine Pooda, the pics are great. I never saw these so I really like them just from a customizer POV. That's some perfect rusting detailing on those last pics. Well done to the studio they hired.
-
(i apologize for filling thread with so many pix)
Shoot, no apology need dude, these are awesome pics.
I love this stuff. This is one area for which I have a degree in. (Industrial Design)
I love seeing how people make scratch built models. Looks like a lot of vacuum forming was done.
The Banshee is definitely out of scale with the rest. It's a much smaller craft than the Tank. My statement of it being a $30 toy should be understood as, "in scale, this toy should retail for $30." So apologies for not making myself perfectly clear. Of course if McFarlane were to include a figure to pilot the craft then tack on another $10-15.
poodachoo, if you've got more pics, please post them, or at the least, I'd be happy with links so I could check them out myself. Again, thanks for posting these.

hey thought you might like to see this im so excited omg look at the quallity.

Yeah, I saw this. Beautiful vehicle. I can't seem to find out how much it's going to retail for. I'm guessing between $50-65.
Lots of good stuff coming for Halo. Halo Reach figures!
I'm very happy about the Ghost. The Grunt that comes with it (as pictured) is one from Reach, that is why he has a very different backpack. Bungie folks are calling it the "mini-keg."

Huh, I just realized that the warthog in the above picture is NOT the final product. It looks like it's a mock-up made of foam or balsa wood parts. Look at the texturing and I noticed a holding pin in the second picture where the windshield meets the fender.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great piece, but since it's not the final product, I wonder if McF brought this along to gauge interest in a Warthog.
Let me say that I'm emphatic about having a warthog. It's one of the more iconic vehicles of the Halo series.
-
That warthog does look like an excellent vehicle. I like the looks of all the figs and vehicles they've shown. Still, I can't help but wish that these were in the 3.75-4" range so they'd match up with the SW and Joe figures.
E...

E...
True but im happy that they reduced the size down to 5'' from like 8'' or 9''the old bungie joyride ones that i have cause vehicles really wouldn't be possible for that size.
-
I agree on the size, the 5" line seems to be a decent size, it's just that nothing else I own other than mid-90's Star Trek is really in that scale. I have one Master Chief and probably would have bought a lot more if they'd been in a format that was compatible with the other lines I collect.
I have several Avatar ships/creatures, for example, because they look cool and fit in the 1:18 scale.
E...
-
I don't mind the size. One good thing is that these figures aren't all that much more expensive than SW figures and their much bigger. Not really many army builders either, so I'm not burning through money for these. While this line is rampant with exclusives, it's not been all that bad to find them, eventually.
I'm glad McF took this down from Joyride's scale. Besides, JR never had the detail that McF does. I don't think there would be that much detail though in the 3 3/4" scale.
Though to be sure, I'd have bought them in that scale as well. I'd love to have these standing next to my other figs, SW, Marvel, etc. They look like giants now though in comparison.
-
Not really many army builders either, so I'm not burning through money for these
wow thats true.
I would like to see some packs come out with like 3 unsc troops or like 3 cov or red team from halo wars.
but to tell you the truth i want a profit in its chair. fingers crossed for a hornet or falcon. lol

look at this. a yellow eva and mongoose.wow.

poodachoo, you should check out Halocollectors.com for Halo stuff. While there is only about a dozen of us that are active, you'll get Halo info much quicker there since it's specifically a Halo site.
I'm not trying to steal you away from here, just saying if you want to broaden your Halo fandom, you can add Halocollectors.com to your repertoire of websites you visit.
