Just found this through a Halo Mega Bloks fan Facebook page!
We first caught a glimpse of this from Toy Fair this year. The name was thought to be the ‘Fox Cannon’. Now we have the actual name. Kodiak sounds MUCH better as it’s a massive bear in comparison to a puny little fox. LOL
Here’s the text about this from Amazon:
- Batten down the hatches and roll out with Spartan Alice-130 in the UNSC Kodiak Siege Cannon
- Rigged with ironclad defenses, this buildable, eight-wheeled artillery tank comes fully loaded with a massive, pivoting cannon
- Build the Kodiak, and brace your Spartan for an attack from the approaching Covenant Brutes
- Then, deploy the Kodiak’s lockdown system, and bombard behind enemy lines
- The highly detailed, super-pose able Spartan Alice-130 and Covenant Brute micro action figures each come with their own detachable armor and authentic weapons and accessories
I like the look of the Brutes. The only disappointment is that they are way too small. They should be towering over Spartans.
This looks like a fantastic build. That cannon is HUGE! The lock-down effect is pretty cool. Take note that this appears to use a NEW camo blok color not previously seen.
Above shows that the driver area can fit TWO figures. Also check out the artillery compartment!
This set is likely from the upcoming Halo Wars 2, due on the fall/winter this year. As for how many pieces this has, that has not yet been revealed. However, we do get a clue from the price. As this has so far only been found on China’s Amazon, it is priced at 435 Chinese Yen. That translates to roughly $67 US Dollars. If we go by the typical 10 cents per piece guideline, then this set should have roughly 650 pieces.
Does this set have that many pieces? Possibly. It definitely looks to be at least 500 pieces.
I’m excited for this set. It’s another awesome UNSC ground vehicle to add to the repertoire of our collections!
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention that we finally get a new Battle Rifle (looks to be the Halo 5 version, shame we haven’t gotten a Halo 4 version). Unless my eyes deceive me, in the second picture, Spartan Alice is holding an updated version of the BR!
Well, things can change from preview to release. That’s happened often enough. It was an oversight on my part about the BR. I’ll wait to see if thats the final version in the actual released set. Then I’ll talk about it.
That makes sense. The pictures look finalized but Mega Bloks has changed things in the past.
Nevertheless, I thought it was worth mentioning.
