Halo Toy Preview: Mega Bloks Yankee Squad

I found these pics on a Halo Mega Bloks fan page on Facebook. (Apologies to the page and the owner of these pics for not proper credit) I’ve been sitting on these pics for a good week now and have forgotten who posted them and which fan site. Terrible oversight on my part. As soon as I find out who’s these are, I’ll be sure to properly credit them for their pics.

Halo Toy Preview: Mega Bloks Kodiak Siege Cannon

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

Halo Toy Review: Jakks Pacific Master Chief

Jakks Pacific logo

New to the Halo line of toys comes Jakks Pacific. They are known for the HUGE action figures. This is their first foray into Halo as a licensee. What a great choice for their first figure, none other than Master Chief!

Before I get started, let me first say a big thanks to Jakks for sending me not one, but TWO of these. I will be giving one away, so stay tuned for details of that contest.

Secondly, I normally do product reviews with a white background. However, this figure is SO HUGE, that I had to set it on the floor. I chose to pose it in front of my dishwasher,,, This way the background was mostly black. kay, those out of the way, let’s get started with the review, shall we?

Technical Specs:
Height: 31 inches tall
Cost: $50 US, plus tax
Articulation: Limited, will explain below with pics as well

Halo Mega Bloks Strategy Game

Recently found via the inter webs, comes news of a Halo Mega Bloks Strategy Game. Hmm, interesting.

Here’s the info via EntertainmentEarth.com:

Bring the massively popular Halo franchise to life on your tabletop with the Mega Bloks Halo Strategy Game! Command a fire team of 3 Spartan commandoes with the goal of outmaneuvering, outshooting, and outsmarting your opponent in a fierce battle for control. Dominate strategically important zones or knock out your opponent’s Spartans to win! The Mega Bloks Halo Strategy Game comes with over 180 Mega Bloks pieces including exclusive mini figures, weapons, dice, rangefinder, and scoring blocks. See you on the tabletop, Spartan!

The price for this is listed as $32.99 and is available May, 2016.

This in likelihood will be something on the order of the LEGO board games (though of course with the Mega Bloks license instead…)

Once more information becomes available, I’ll post it here.
