Previously, I revealed three of the figures from the first wave of McFarlane Halo 5 Guardians action figures, Locke, Chief and the MP Athlon Spartan.

Now I’m happy to reveal the complete series 1 figures. This was confirmed by James Monosmith of 343. Continue reading →

Finally we have another named Elite. It’s been some time since that last happened.  There have only been three other named Elites in the McFarlane line. One of those done as a figure two different times. Can you name those??

But enough about those Elites, let’s take a look at the new Elite baddie, Jul ‘Mdama!

The packaging is quite nice. I like the slim packaging as opposed to the wider ones from series past. For those who collect these carded, it will take up less space for sure, whether you display them or store them. Scroll on for the pics and my review of Commander Palmer! Continue reading →

Well, it’s been some time since I’ve been able to post a McFarlane Halo figure toy review. Not because I didn’t want to, but because it’s been a long time since a new series has been released. Now I can finally get some more of these in with Series 3 making it to retail.

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint: 

Our partners at McFarlane Toys are gearing up for the launch of Halo 5: Guardians, and we’re excited to announce and provide the first look at the all-new Spartan Locke action figure.

HFFL: Um, not first folks….I posted pics of this from New York Toy Fair on 2/17/15. Need proof? Here’s the article I wrote. Scroll towards the bottom of that article to see my pics of this.

This 10” figure will go through a lengthy process before it ends up on store shelves later this year, so we chatted with the designers at McFarlane Toys to learn about this how figure is made.

HFFL: Hmm, again, by the pics that I took from 2 1/2 months ago as of this writing, the figure looks pretty well done…but anyway. Moving along with 343’s interview with McFarlane Toys.

We already knew that Master Chief and Locke were going to be the first to come out. Now we have news that there will be four other figures coming as well, one of which has been revealed… Continue reading →

It’s been awhile since McFarlane Toys brought out any new Halo action figures. Finally, the wait is just about over. Any day now four of these awesome figs will be dropping into retail shelves near you! Beyond Halo 4, series 3, we will also be getting Master Chief and Spartan Locke later this year. AND for the first time ever, McFarlane will be making a 10 inch Halo figure. Once again it’s Locke and WOW does it look amazing!

Just a couple hours ago as of this writing, McFarlane Toys teases this graphic of upcoming  Halo 5 action figures.

It’s pretty easy to guess that they are Agent Locke and Master Chief, especially given the outlines of each. Should these figures be shown in full detail at NYTF, you can BET on me being there, taking pictures of them, and posting them here for you all to see.

Thanks to Halo fan ‘Didact’ for tweeting me this info.

It’s been quite awhile since we last had a wave of Halo figures from McFarlane Toys. Well, the wait is soon over!

Not only are we getting Spartan Thorne from Fireteam Majestic, Commander Sarah Palmer, and Jul ‘Mdama, we’re also getting a fourth figure, not previously shown. This fourth figure will be an exclusive to Walgreen’s. The figures is a Red Spartan Soldier (Halo 4 armor) with White secondary color.

Without further ado, let’s get to the official pics from McFarlane. (Click on pics to make bigger) Continue reading →

HFFL subscriber, Jared Combs, let me know that there will indeed be NEW Halo 4 McFarlane Action Figures! YES!!! And they are all NAMED characters. This is an EXCELLENT move in my opinion.

Below you see the pre-order graphics for the three figures. These are not to scale as Jul will be bigger than either Palmer or Thorne. Continue reading →

It’s been some time since I’ve done a review for a McFarlane Halo action figure. This year McFarlane has only brought out the following two figures. It’s the Halo 2 Master Chief and the Master Chief form the 2013 E3 trailer.

I didn’t take either of these out of the package. It’s a rare instance when I do that. So these reviews won’t be all encompassing as I usually do, hence “quick” review. Continue reading →

I just got an e-mail from McFarlane this morning that their Halo 2 Master Chief should be in stores now. Of course, your mileage may vary on this.

Here’s a look at the figure, followed by a text blurb from McFarlane’s web site. Continue reading →
