McFarlane has announced the a couple of new figures based on the Halo franchise. They will be releasing two different Master Chief action figures in October. These include:
- Halo 2 Master Chief
- Master Chief with Cloak
No official photos were released at this time. However, we saw the figures at Toy Fair 2014. We’ve included a couple as a refresher. Check them out, as well as some more info, after the jump.
HALO 2 MASTER CHIEF
Ten years ago, Halo® 2 made its debut on the original Xbox, and changed multiplayer gaming on consoles forever. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of this influential, fan-favorite game, McFarlane Toys is offering a figure of the Master Chief, just as he appeared in 2004.
Our Halo 2 Master Chief figure captures all the details of this first version of his Mark VI armor – from the five indentations on his hand and ankle armor, to the smooth, undamaged plating on his chest.
Halo 2 introduced innovations such as dual wielding, and classic weapons like the Battle Rifle. To celebrate, we’re loading up our Halo 2 Master Chief figure with an arsenal of second-game-themed weapons. Figure includes dual SMGs, a pair of Brute Plasma Rifles, and the ever-popular Battle Rifle. No matter which weapons you choose, you’ll be ready to fight like you did a decade ago!
MASTER CHIEF WITH CLOAK
Our NEW Master Chief figure for 2014 brings fans the most famous hero of the Halo saga, updated to his latest look, as seen in the epic teaser video that debuted at last year’s E3 video game convention.
This version of the Master Chief includes his removable multi-layered, wind-swept cloak – the perfect accessory for keeping the harsh, glittering desert sands out of his armor. The Master Chief’s helmet also features a cracked visor.
Cortana may be gone, but the Master Chief still clings to her memory, carrying her inactive Data Crystal Chip on a chain as the “dog tag” of his closest friend. Our figure includes that Data Crystal Chip on a chain, along with his Boltshot pistol.
Next Set of McFarlane Halo Toys Coming In October
I was wondering if they would delay these, and they have. I should have known that the original release date was too good to be true. I wonder what stores, if any, will actually stock these.
Love that Chief comes with the most Halo 2-y weapons ever. Brute Plasma Rifles!
I've been saying this forever to my friends, (who do nothing but sing the praises of how "revolutionary and creative Bungie is,") that their new game "Destiny", from a design and look standpoint, really isn't all that new or creative looking. In fact, it comes off looking like nothing more than another rehash of Halo...only this time...the spartans wear capes...
That figure of Master Chief only confirmed it for me. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.
That said, with Destiny coming around the time of this figure's release, I wonder if this variant of Master Chief was ordered to be done on purpose by Microsoft as a way of taking a sideswipe at Bungie's current project. It's a cool looking figure though nevertheless, and it kills two birds with one stone, as not only do Halo fans get a neat MC, but "Destiny" fans will be able to get their very first figure in the series! =P
Finally reading the descriptions for the figures, I noticed this:
If it's a replica, like I hope it is, that'll make this figure a must-have on it's own. That said, I don't want to get overly excited, this is still McFarlane after-all.
