McFarlane planning lots of Halo figures in 2008

Good old Toddy McFarlane and his entrepreneurial spirit, always taking ideas to the next level and always willing to saturate a retail channel. It's something we value in a person more than good will or kindness. And his ambitious nature is spreading into the previously announced Halo 3 figures he's creating, because we're getting lots of 'em.

According to official product launch dates over at Spawn.com, the McFarlane Halo 3 figures we've all known about will launch sometime in March 2008, but there will be other series' coming later in the year. Series two is scheduled to land at retail a few months later in June 2008 including such highlights as ODST, Drone, Mongoose and Wraith figures. Series three is planned for an August 2008 release and includes figures like a Human Flood, Brute Captain, Banshee and Scorpion. That's not all, August will also bring a special 12" Master Chief figure and October 2008 will see the release of three highly stylized figures. Wowzaz! And for easier digestion, we posted a list of figures, release dates and a series breakdown after you click towards the break.

Good old McFarlane, we knew you wouldn't let us down.

Surrrre BTex, it's okay man you can tell the truth lol. Some of us are older here and but I'm still buying the "toys".

DjDATZ @ Oct 30th 2007 12:25PM

FUCKIN DAMMIT! I WAS BROWSING THROUGH THIS YESTERDAY AND I SHOULD HAVE SENT IT IN AS A TIP!

Ok, fine, you've twisted my arm. I'll buy one.

Cortana statuette looks hot, i'll be fine with that. and only one Elite figure? looks like Elites get the shaft on and offline.

TORO @ Oct 30th 2007 12:56PM

Even though they tried making the Elites more proportional, I think they're still easier to kill...usually kids have them (no offense)

"Cortana statuette looks hot, i'll be fine with that." - Can I even touch on how creepy that sounds?

im curious to see the Arbiter one.

DjDATZ @ Oct 30th 2007 2:23PM

toro - plus they look ugly too.

BTex @ Oct 30th 2007 2:36PM

TORO, no really it's for my kid.
sure it was me who excitedly told him about them and showed him the high res pictures. but they will be HIS toys.
(that I may borrow on occasion);p

VedicHymn @ Oct 30th 2007 2:44PM

I'm kinda disappointed there's no Pelican on that list. :(

Adrian Ronquillo @ Oct 30th 2007 2:46PM

By the time they are released the hype will be over....

As some of you guys know, I'm a toy collector of sorts (mostly action figures), and the McFarlane Halo line seems dope. I haven't preordered any of those figures yet; I assume the market will be well supplied with most of them. With that said, I'm awaiting my presell order of the CastleVania figures from Cornerstorecomics.com right now, and I also plan to get Altair from Assassin's Creed from that site too. NECA and McFarlane FTW!

I'm 28 and I've been collecting for most of my life.
