This is it, Halo fans! The month that we have all been waiting for for nearly three years now has finally arrived, and the Halo 5: Guardians video game will launch later on this month! As such, Halo merchandising looks to finally be heating up again, with retailers who haven’t taken on exclusives in a long time getting back on-board.

McFarlane Halo 5 Guardians Figures Series 1

Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that amidst my coverage of New York Toy Fair 2015, there wasn’t a single article about McFarlane Toys Halo figures this year. No, that wasn’t an oversight–the McFarlane Toys booth was just an epic disappointment at the 2015 Toy Fair. I feared we were in for another year with just one or two new figures–but I was wrong! Just one month after Toy Fair, McFarlane Toys has now officially revealed the case ratios for Halo 5 Series 1, and the Halo 5 Guardians Series 1 figures are now up for order!

Mega Bloks Halo 5 Guardians Vulture Set with Agent Locke

With the changing of the guard and Mattel taking over MEGA Brands, I feared that the days of seeing obscure, niche Halo vehicles represented in the Halo Mega Bloks toy line might be over. But at New York Toy Fair 2015, Mattel/MEGA Brands proved that that was not the case! While there aren’t many vehicles from Halo Wars remaining that need representation in Mega Bloks Halo toys form, we can cross one of the largest off the list: the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Vulture flew in at the 2015 Toy Fair!

2015 New York Toy Fair Mega Bloks Halo 5 Tank

One of the things that Halo Mega Bloks fans have cried out for, almost since the start of the Mega Bloks Halo toys line, was a fully-revamped Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Scorpion Tank. While the first-ever wave contained a Halo Mega Bloks Scorpion tank–and we got a slightly tweaked ODST Scorpion later on–a new and improved Halo Mega Bloks Scorpion just never came to a fruition. However, at New York Toy Fair 2015, we got our first look at an all-new Halo 5 Mega Bloks Tank that’s not a new Scorpion, but is definitely the next best thing!
