HALO Send away PART DUECE!!!!!



Well here he is, the 2nd figure upgrade I received from McFarlane online with my halo points. Coming with the helmet, chest and shoulder armor you get the ultimate recon warrior. The next one I will snag will be the invisible/active camouflage version of this figure. And soon to come series Five!!! Get ready for a but load of more Spartan warriors. I will have to take a picture of the entire force when the Fifth series is complete!!!!!!

McFarlane's Halo Series four, or Equipment addition 1!

McFarlane's Halo Series four, or Equipment addition 1!

Well series four, or to others known as equipment addition 1, do to the pieces of HALO Online play battle equipment included with each figure was released recently. I only review the Spartans, I don't care to much for the covenant figures. below are the few figures created with this series. we saw the Security Spartan for the first time and quiet a few different weapons with each. My only beef with them is the right hand is so tight that guns practically bend when you put them in their hands, Come on guys, you make a superior product, fix this, also the hands are not quality checked. I tried turning one and it litterly snapped the wrist off. Super glue fixed it but, sad Chinese manufacturers don't care about American collectors I guess....


First we got the exclusives! YAYYYY!! Another beef I have are the Orange over sea's exclusives. Luckily I know folks over in the U.K. and Australia who hook me up, but god, 2nd market prices for these figures are like 100.00 at first. It is insane!!

Orange Scout - Available in U.K. and Australia.

Check out the neato other languages....

Oh my!!!


And the figure packaged with radar Jammer.


then we have D&R Line ups (Canadian) Pink Hayabusa!!!! Still fetching fifty to sixty on E-bay... Sad.


She, yes SHE!!!! is packaged with a radar jammer also.


Then Game Stops Silver Security figure!!!


Packaged with the floater tool.


And last of the exclusives, Walmarts Blue Hayabusa!!!!


Packaged with the blue energy drain shield killer, I hate these things on on line play!!!!


And then We have the regular all over the place for sale figures.

Crimson EOD troop with the lift tool.


Master Chief with a rocket launcher and bubble shield!


and last but not least the olive drab (looks like the bug guy from He Man) Security trooper with Radar jammer.


The next series of HALO figures will probably be it for me, They have a whole slew of new figures, and weapons, but how many more can you make?! We'll see if the Lucas Clone pandemic continues with McFarlane, I think it would be better for them to pursue vehicles now that every colored figure under the rainbow has been done, but we shall see.

Sideshow Collectibles Cobra Commander.

Sideshow Collectibles Cobra Commander.

Off the Fing hook doesn't even describe this figure. I mean it doesn't help that Cobra Commander is my above all favorite Cobra of all time, I mean yeah fire fly and Storm Shadow come in a very very close second. But back in 1982 when me and my brother Jake were taken to a K Mart to snag a Return of the Jedi figure by my Uncle Ricky and stopped in awe as we walked in to a full display of GI Joes, and I snagged Cobra Commander and Jake Snagged Grunt, forgetting star wars ever existed, I new as I held the ultimate evil leader in my hand it was destiny!!!!

Now comes this end all be all figure of awesomeness. yeah I wish he was the helmeted version but come on, this hooded one even comes with the sick ass blow dryer looking weapon of doom. the one that attached to his back as a figure... OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!

I ordered the convention Crimson version also and can't wait to see that one. below are the box art of the figure and opened shell also. When I have a display worthy of showing these off I will open him and post pictures but for now, Figure number 2 of the side show Joe sets, Outstanding job guys!!!!!!
