It’s been well over a year since I’ve had some new McFarlane Toys Halo figures to review, but the day I wasn’t sure would ever come finally has! The distribution on Halo 4 Series 3 hasn’t been the best, but after ordering Jul ‘Mdama for $14 shipped online, the Didact’s Hand is now in the house! But should this McFarlane Jul ‘Mdama figure be in your house too? Read on for my review…
Continue Reading →It totally blows my mind, but it’s now been almost two years to the day since I posted my review of the original Halo Reach Elite Ranger action figure (which you can find in the Reviews Index archive). That McFarlane … Continue Reading →
Halo 4 fans had to wait a full year for it to happen, but the first Halo 4 Kig-Yar figure finally started to arrive in stores recently! I received my first pair of Halo 4 Storm Jackals in the mail … Continue Reading →
Given that it took me approximately one-gazillion hours to build the brand-new Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Pelican Gunship 97129, I want to be sure to give its review all of the time, detail and attention that is deserves. As such, … Continue Reading →
After visiting two dozen Walgreens stores in a period of eight days (and no, that’s not hyperbole), I finally managed to hunt down the one exclusive figure from McFarlane Toys Halo 4 Series 2: the Green/Steel CIO Spartan action figure… … Continue Reading →
Having driven around like a crazy person all last week on the prowl for Halo 4 Series 2 figures at a dozen and a half local Walgreens stores, I finally came across a lone Halo 4 Series 2 Rust Spartan … Continue Reading →
Lest anyone begin speculating that my collecting greed is dissipating, let me remove all doubt: Yes, I did indeed purchase this bright green Spartan Warrior Funko POP! Vinyl SDCC 2013 Exclusive figure in addition to its yellow companion. I lauded … Continue Reading →
The Halo Funko POP! Vinyls seem like a weird thing to review, as you tend to either really like Funko’s super-deformed style of figures or not. Even so, what you see in the official glamor photos from Funko isn’t always … Continue Reading →
If there’s one character from the Halo 4 video game that fans have been demanding an action figure of more than The Didact, it’s Spartan-IV Sarah Palmer. Though we only see Sarah Palmer in cut-scenes during the Halo 4 campaign, … Continue Reading →
I’m not exactly the biggest fan of the Master Chief. My entry into Halo fandom was the novels, and my first Halo video games were Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST. So while I think the Master Chief is great … Continue Reading →
My wife got the Halo Reach Play Arts Kai Kat figure for Christmas, and while that figure was far from perfection, it was good enough that I was intrigued by the Square-Enix Halo figures line. So much so, in fact, … Continue Reading →
McFarlane Toys made Halo fans wait just a little bit longer for their Halo 4 Promethean Knight deluxe figure, but the big daddy of all the Forerunner A.I.s has arrived and is ready to wreak some havoc on the Master … Continue Reading →
As anyone who reads this site regularly knows, I’ve got a thing for orange. So when I heard McFarlane Toys would be releasing their first Halo 4 Orange Spartan figure already as part of Halo 4 Series 1 Extended, I … Continue Reading →
I was lukewarm on the Halo 4 Series 1 Extended Watcher and pretty cold toward the Cortana figure, so I figured it was time to cover a figure from McFarlane Toys’ second wave of Halo 4 toys that I’m actually … Continue Reading →
Much like in the Halo 4 video game, the toy Forerunner enemies are the second to appear, following the more-familiar Covenant foes. One of three main types of Forerunners present in Halo 4, the Promethean Watcher is a highly-troublesome support … Continue Reading →
Despite her status as the Master Chief’s partner and co-star of the four main Halo video games, there’s been little Cortana merchandise released over the years. Even the McFarlane Halo figures collection, which is hundreds of figures deep, only included one Cortana figure in it–until now. With the blockbuster Halo 4 release, McFarlane Toys finally deigned to give collectors their first all-new Cortana figure in half a decade. But though this Halo 4 Cortana action figure is an improvement in some ways, in others she’s far worse…
Continue Reading →To my great shame, once in a while, a really great Halo toy slips through the cracks without getting a review. The Halo 4 UNSC Cryo Tube with frozen Master Chief figure by McFarlane is one of those toys. I’ve … Continue Reading →
If there was one scientific law-like certainty about the Halo 4 toys lineup, it’s that the Master Chief would get a new Halo 4 action figure in McFarlane Toys’ first assortment. No one can argue that the Master Chief hasn’t … Continue Reading →
Last month I reviewed the Halo Mega Bloks Halo 4 Warthog Resistance set and praised the hell out of the Elite Zealot figure as being one of the most ornately sculpted figures MEGA Brands has ever done. Now I’ve got … Continue Reading →
For a lot of folks, the word “Spartan” is synonymous with “Warrior”. So with Halo 4 fast approaching and new Spartan armor permutations starting to leak out, I’m not the least bit surprised to see one named as the Spartan … Continue Reading →
