All-new Spartan Locke Figure by McFarlane Toys

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.

ISSUE 22

Welcome back, canonheads. Last week we were all over the content map talking about new, revamped, and upcoming features in the Universe section of Halo Waypoint and the Halo Channel, as well as Canon Fodder itself. This week will be a bit lighter as we are all at once coming down off the craziness that was the Great Puzzle Hunt of 2015, as well as being ridiculously heads-down working on a host of exciting secret goodies as we hurtle towards E3 this summer. Combined with the release of Halo: Hunters in the Dark by Peter David, June will be an exciting month to be a Halo fan, I can tell you that much.

And with that, let’s dive in.

Halo Community Update 5.1.15

This is a reblog from Halo Waypoint:

By B is for Bravo –

Over the past few weeks, the sun has slowly began to make its way back over to the greater Seattle area, indicating that things like summer, sunshine, and warm-weather expeditions are all on the way. One particular annual warm-weather journey is that of E3, and I do believe many of us are already on board a variety of fast-moving hype trains, most of which are not equipped with brakes. The warmer weather and early morning sunshine have also provided me with an opportunity to catch up on the Hunt The Truth podcast each Monday morning on my walk to work, which has been an incredibly appropriate and therapeutic start to the work week. Also, I know many Waypointers can relate when I say that each episode feels far too brief, and has left me wanting more each week. Rather than listening to the episodes early, or sneaking a peek at the review copies of the script in my inbox, I’ve listened with you, and found that the story has me diving head first back into the story of our beloved hero, much in part due to my good friend Grim’s Canon Fodder blog, which highlights characters and storylines that have collided with Ben Giraud each week. Whether you’re a master of the universe, or haven’t yet sunk your teeth into the various campaigns, books, or comics, Hunt The Truth is a quick, episodic, super-accessible-mobile-friendly way to not only learn about pivotal discoveries in the history of The Master Chief, but also to prepare for what’s to come in Halo 5: Guardians.
