Nice... It would be great to know what the Halo points are for...? Maybe a weapons assortment ?
-
I bought the white spartan (with grey shoulders) orange grunt, brute cheiftan, jackal sniper, red eva, blue cqb (From wal-mart) silver cqb (from gamestop) Master Cheif, and red spartan, I didn't notice the points until after I had bought the Brute cheiftan and master cheif. Still have no idea what the points are for but if it's just the bar codes that their going to want those are easy to find. Someone mentioned a custon pink paint job for sale on ebay... I would just wait for the 2nd series, bigger vehicles would be nice, as well as maybe a special order scarab. I'm hoping that the haybusa (sp) is going to come in more than just the red. Also all the pics of the cqb spartans had shotguns so wtf? Maybe some sticky and spike grenades to round out my complaints. And oh yeah 33 yrs old and I had kids just so I could keep buying toys. LOL
-
@ Rouzeki.... Did your white spartan have grey shoulders/or white shoulders?
-
Yep, McFarlane Toys are the reason I still buy action figures as a 20 year old (damn proud too :P) They put so much damn effort into most every figure, all of them are works of art in their own respect, unlike 90% of the action figure "population" *cough*star wars*cough* I already got my white spartan (sold exclusively at local retailers btw) and may I say that it is awesome, way cooler than the H2 figs. They are extremely articulated, with spinning joints including ones located at soles of the feet. But don't take my word for it, go get one, or two! Hell, I want the whole damn shibang! Wouldn't it be awesome to remake the miniature battle from the Halo 3 commercial, but with spartans? Me so happy, me want to cry. My only complaint is that there is no katana with the Hayabusa spartan, guess I just have to make one then!
-
Looks like Hayabusa and Recon armor for Series 3..... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1378&company=0&category=4491
-
Looks pretty cool, and I'm sure that people like DigitalPh33r may use these a lot. Heres a thought, why not make certain armor detachable so that people can customize just like they do in game?
-
you can switch out shoulders, chest, and head pieces. its just that we need more of the same color figures, or you could just paint all the varients one color. [Edited on 03.15.2008 9:12 PM PDT]

It would be sweet if these guys could turn your Halo 3 player model into an action figure. imagine that!
-
And, the few times I have made the trip up to Washington to visit the Bungie studio have been great. Nice group you’ve got there, and I have to say, I’m a little jealous of your set-up. The first time I walked into your inner sanctum with the low-wall work stations and the unholy shine of a hundred computer monitors, each displaying something cooler than the last — I just loved it. _________________________ ....I'm jealous you got to SEE said workstations...I have never seen one...M.E. and my poor unprivelaged Elite self...LOL...
-
i currently own chief and cortana and im getting the red and white one tommorow. if your look at amazon they have preorders for the arbitor and other spartan figures. btw, g.i. joe figure weapons fit perfect on the spartans edit- i have most of the figures except for the grunt varaints [Edited on 03.15.2008 9:09 PM PDT]

HAYABUSA ARMOR!!!!!!! HAYABUSA ARMOR!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the figure I want to see, with or without the katana. but with the katana would be awesome. If they don't make 1 with a katana i'd probably end up making my own outta steel. Todd did mention that they might go through all the premutations, so you never know. Everyone's thoughts?
-
Talking about action figures, me and my brother have made a film with the current (soon to be old) figures. He did the video and I did the Halo themed guitar track. [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ7b2j9Qt10]Halo Toy Wars[/url] Should we carry on the tradition with the new figures??
-
Heard it would be hard to find a Recon armor action figure. That would defintely be one to keep in the box :)
-
"Is there any way to address the seemingly wide girth at the waistline? The descending arch beneath also seems to add to the notion that the Chief is wearing diapers." Hahaha.
-
what types of figures are out
-
I went on eBay a few days ago and was looking for some of these..BTW, don't buy them on eBay. They're much cheaper in the stores. People on eBay want WAAY too much $$. Anyway: I saw a "custom painted" pink spartan Mark VI from Mcfarlane. :O surprised face. I knew it was from Mcfarlane because it had the pegs and everything. What the heck does "custom painted" mean? I guess the pink's not very common, because the winning bidder got it for like $33.00. Can you get your spartan custom painted?? Just curious as to why it was pink.
-
I have the Cortana and Master Chief figure. They do look pretty cool, but I just wish that they were a little bigger like the figures that came out before. I also want to see the other armor perms like the hyabusa. The katana should be included with it as well! hehe
-
Are they going to make E.O.D, Hayabousa, Security, Scout and the other armors inclouding the Elite armor as well? Hope so.
-
hey, why dont u guys just have like an order form or a system where it checks ur halo character, and basically makes an action figure from it. have it sell with something or charge say... $10-$30 for it. and u can get like... bungie points or w/e with it
-
the figures are tight, but when i went to go get the vehicles, i was totally disapointed. how in the hell am i supposed to put the master chief in that tiny ass warthog. WOw, They need to take those back to production. That's my opinion, others may think differently!!
-
nice figures ill definitely get 1 of them .... join the spartan masters !!! we know u want to click the link at groups [Edited on 03.12.2008 9:15 PM PDT]

after several days of searching, I finally found a store that had one figure left. I t was the master chief, i was hopin for and eva or cqb, but I guess i'll settle (already have mc from halo 2). It was 12.99 almost 15 bucks with taxs included. master chiefe was behind the counter , and I thought it was reserved, but I asked and the guy said "no". like all the other stores I check, one person comes beofre me and buy most of them like 5 or 6 of them in one trip to the store, WHAT HOGS.
