Skirmisher Murmillo

Unlike the rest of the alien species that conform the Covenant in the Halo Universe, the Kig-yar (the species Jackals and Skirmishers belong to) are different in the sense that they didn’t join the... 

Brute Chieftain

  Right on the heels of their first Brute release in the Halo: Reach line, McFarlane Toys went and produced a Brute Chieftain as part of the fifth series of action figures.   Let me start with... 

Brute Minor

  Although Brutes are an alien species already produced in the Halo 3 line by McFarlane Toys, it took until Series 4 of the Halo: Reach line for them to make an appearance. The rank selected for... 

UNSC Troopers (Halo: Reach)

Back when McFarlane Toys debuted the Halo: Reach line, alongside the single-carded Spartans and Covenant figures they also released a few 2-Packs, one of which consisted of two UNSC Marines.   Both... 

Elite Officer

  In the Halo Universe, other than the Grunt aliens, the next more common enemy is the species known as Elites or Sangheili. These are roughly the equivalent of the UNSC Spartan soldiers, although... 

Grunt Minor (Halo: Reach)

  In the Halo games, Grunts are a type of enemy you’ll see a lot of. Individually, they are not much of a challenge, but in the presence of a leader-class character and in sufficient numbers, they... 

Spartan Gungnir Custom

With licenses like Halo: Reach, one would think that it is not that hard to come up with ideas for new products, but luckily for McFarlane Toys, the game’s multiplayer mode allows them to issue products... 

Missile Launcher with JFO Spartan

 Well, one of the flagship items in the Halo:Reach collection by McFarlane Toys is the UNSC vehicle known as the Warthog. This vehicle is pretty much the workhorse of the UNSC army and it is designed... 

Spartan Air Assault Custom (female)

  One of the most striking aspects of McFarlane’s Halo: Reach line (apart from the scale change, that is) is the inclusion of female Spartan’s to the UNSC ranks. Of course, in the novels published... 

Sergeant Forge

  I have not played Halo Wars. I will not play Halo Wars. Despite the mostly positive reviews that game accrued, for me the meat of the Halo universe are the shooting games and I don’t see... 

Master Chief (Halo 2)

  Ever since McFarlane started working the Halo license, the one character they have kept getting out every year has been that of the hero of the saga, Master Chief also known as John-117.   The... 

Skirmisher Minor

  If you ask me, nothing shows off McFarlane Toys’  experstise like the designs of the alien Covenant warriors in their Halo lines. These creatures are a rather diverse-looking bunch and furthermore,... 

Elite Ascetic

  In the Halo Universe, The Covenant is a coalition of various alien species bent on waging war against the humans. One of the species charged with the military aspects of this struggle is that of... 

Mongoose with ODST Rookie in VISR Mode

One of the things I look forward come summer, are the Summer Sales from various vendors in Mexico City. One such retailer is Blockbuster, which I thought was a rather unusual place to find toys, until... 

Flood Pure Form Stalker

  It has become very common place in first person shooter video games to include at least one type of antagonists that are kind of gross and fairly easy to kill individually, but whose strength comes... 

ODST Soldier Buck

  One thing you’ll notice from the early series of the Halo figures made by McFarlane Toys, is that the bulk of them is comprised of Spartan variants, mixed in with a few of the more representative... 

Tartarus

I don’t buy toys from McFarlane all that often, because for a time they focused more on producing statuettes rather than action figures, and the quality of their materials was rather poor, despite sporting...
