Just a quick update for you all to let you know that I personally saw some of the McFarlane Halo 3 figures for sale this weekend. No not at a retail store, but at a booth at the San Francisco Wondercon. Like an idiot I didn’t take a picture, but trust me the picture of the figures in the box suffices since there really wasn’t anything to see that hasn’t been put on the internet yet.
While checking out Unleaded Logic’s site the other day, I noticed he had posted images of Halo figures in their packages. I hadn’t seen this posted on any of my usual sites so I thought I’d share the picks here for those who are obsessed with all things Halo.
Halo fans, if you want some more Halo toy news I don’t have a whole lot, but I can point you towards McFarlane’s website where they posted some new pictures of Halo figures that will be on our way someday. Or you can just check them out here. Yeah, I’d like that.
Master Chief 2
Master Chief is locked and loaded with a shotgun and a… damn what is that on his back? A Spartan Laser? First one of you to tell me what that is gets… nothing but my respect. But isn’t that what you really want anyway?
It’s not often when you see those around you rise from modest internet blogger to internet star, but it’s happening to ToyBender reader Unleaded Logic right before my very eyes. He’s got his very own review of the Halo laser gun games from Jasman Toys up on that fancy YouTube thing that all the kids use these days. Imagine, video on the internet!
This post has been a long time in the making, especially considering how lazy I am. It took me forever and a half to upload these images from my camera into the computer and thenceforth to put them on this mighty web blogithing. But finally, here it is as I had hinted at months ago (but everyone probably didn’t see it or forgot about it): A look at my roomate/friend Shawn’s massive Halo Actionclix Scarab which cost a whopping two hundred and fifty bucks. I encourage you to read his update talking about it, but be sure to read mine here… because I am out of news for the moment.
McFarlane Toys revealed this last week (or so) their version of the Arbiter from the mega popular, sweet ass, you should be dead if you haven’t heard of it yet, Halo 3.
Just when I start dipping into my crappy emergency posts for something… anything for you guys, I find out that McFarlane toys has a new Halo figure update. Sweet.For their Collector’s Club exclusive figure, they’ve got an exclusive “camouflaged” Spartan in EVA armor:
Very disappointed in this announcement.
I’ve recently gotten a fair amount of traffic from an XBox 360 fan site in reference to an old Halo toy article I wrote awhile back. One comment in particular bothered me and since I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to leave a response, I decided to leave it here on Toy Bender.
Hardcore Halo fans and anyone interested in things that are awesome no doubt will want to pick up every single variation of McFalane’s upcoming Halo 3 series of figure. If you are one of these people then you’ll have to head on over to video game retailer (and secondary home to many greasy, pimply faced 13 year olds) GameStop, and get your exclusive Steel Spartan in Close Quarter Battle armor in March of 2008.
I realize that in this day and age or instant electronic gratification that I may be a tad late with this, but just in case you haven’t seen the newest Halo figure reveals, Mr. McFarlane and crew have decided to rock your world yet again. They’ve released new pictures of their sweet, not yet released, Halo series. This time, they threw in a few pics of the alternate Spartan armor that you can unlock in Halo 3.

Do you ever get attached to a certain character model in a videogame when you play as that character over and over? If you do, then you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say that the above Spartan is me and that’s whose killing you on Live if you really suck. If you don’t, then that’s me you’re killing and frustrating the hell out of. This white version is a unnamed retailer exclusive, while the red version (below) will be available at all retailers selling McFarlane Halo toys.
The McFarlane Halo 3 toy blitz continues. Bungie.net, the maker of Halo 3’s own website, has posted a ton of cool Halo 3 toy pictures, of which I swiped. Thanks Bungie, you guys rule. If you want to go to the site to check them out please do, because they’ve got some pictures of the Halo 3 statues that I won’t be posting on ToyBender. (As always, click on the pictures to make them bigger)
When I wrote my last post about G4’s Halo offerings, I hadn’t realized that it was a massive release of Halo toy images, so sorry about the multiple posts. This time IGN got some of the exclusive Halo toy action. Be sure to visit them to see the rest of the pics. (Make the pics larger by clicking on them, duh)
Here’s the Ghost:
Looks sweet, but too bad there’s no dudes to put in it… yet.
G4, the gaming television network that really doesn’t do a lot of gaming stuff anymore, got some exclusive pictures of one of Todd McFarlane’s Halo 3 action figures series. It’s for the Grunt two pack. Let’s give credit to McFarlane, it’s one of the few times that the Grunt has looked really cool. In the spirit of the internet, I swiped the pics. (Click on them to make them larger if you so choose.)
Millionaire collector of fantastic balls and nerd dream maker, Todd McFarlane had one fine showing at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con. While the McFarlane Toys booth might not have been the flashiest, the display cases brought plenty of Teh Awesome to the show.
First off, let me please my core audience (basically myself) and show off what Todd had to offer in the way of Halo toys. Here’s a prototype of Master Chief himself:
All the pieces are falling into place for Halo fans. First JoyRide studios folds, then McFarlane toys announces that it will be making Halo figures, Master Replicas starts making Halo merch, and now there is a sneak peak at the new Halo 3 figures from McFarlane.
