Fellow Halo Mega Bloks collector ‘Vanocean’ found these.
It looks like these drop pods are more of a two-piece mold, so as to be used as part of the packaging. Notice there is no extra paint detail with any of them. Also, the current drop pods wouldn’t be able to be used as packaging given their multi-piece design.
I’m liking these. Looks like you get a fig, weapon, blok and of course the drop pod package. I’m curious if these will be out for the holidays. Would make sense. And besides, if you’re like me, you’ll use the drop pods for a Halo themed Christmas tree. I only with the one that came with the green ODST was bright green as the red one is bright also.
Another cool thing to note is that it looks like the ODSTs have a teeth mark paint app on their helmets. VERY cool!
Not sure on the price, but I’ll venture a guess of $5-6. Normally a blind pack fig is $3 and that comes with a weapon and stand. This having the drop pod, even if a one or two-piece thing would add the couple bucks more.

Interesting idea to say the least. I’d certainly be up for buying these!
Really not liking the no added color. And if its only a two piece mold I will be slightly disappointed. Hoping the colors of the ODST’s are a tad darker too. Still excited about these, but I’ll be glad I bought most of the original drop pods.
It doesn’t bother me so much. No added color means the cost is kept down. Yes, $5 or $6 for one figure might seem like a lot, again though you do get the drop pod, even if a bit generic. Like I said, I’ll be using them for Christmas Ornaments on my small Halo themed tree.
