I recently acquired these “test shot” weapons from the Mega Bloks Halo line. Test shot refers testing the molds for pieces. Note the very different color choices for the weapons in the pictures. I was extremely happy to receive these given their rarity, especially the fuel rod gun since it’s only just been released to market.
The needler is brown if you can’t tell and the Spartan Laser is a dark grey. The all black flamethrower is also very cool!
Check out these two new cool drop pods from Mega Bloks!

Note the extremely cool and new Fuel Rod Gun with detachable fuel cells. Also, the battle damage paint on the Zealot elite pod is fantastic. I personally can’t wait to get these for my collection. Price will vary by store, however should range between $10-13.
Thanks to “Mr. Sci-Fi” on HaloCollectors.com for pointing this out.
The soon to be released series 6 looks fantastic!
I’ve bought all of the unhelmeted Noble members so far. So, it’s a no brainer for me to buy Jun and Kat.
The Sabre pilot looks good and will go great with the other UNSC troops.
The Elite Zealot looks sleek in it’s crimson armor. Menacing.
I’m really looking forward to the Brute Major. McFarlane really has done justice to these brute figures from Reach. Lots of detail and paint.
All in all a good to great wave of figures. Though I’m still hoping for more unique campaign figures…
Here we have a pic (small as it is), of the upcoming packs for Invasion and Team Objective. Prices will vary by store, however should be in the range of $30-33 each.
What’s great about the Invasion set is that you get EACH of the power cores, plus notice the very cool BLUE visor on the Spartan! (That may change though)
The Team Objective set comes with it’s on set of goodness. All three flags, blue, red, and neutral, a flag capture plate, both the UNSC and Covenant bombs, and 5 skulls for headhunter. Personally I’d rather this set NOT come with a spartan so the price would come down. I suspect though that McFarlane is making that a selling point and also justifies the higher cost.
Now if only the Elite General were made in it’s red color!
The third video of how McFarlane makes Halo figs is up!
The Scarab you may have seen at the end is the ActionClix one that came out a few years ago. Not one from the rumored new line by McFarlane.
Folks, if you’ve been thinking about buying this set and haven’t yet, NOW is the time. You’d be hard pressed to find a better deal on the Elephant. It’s a behemoth of a set and comes packed with goodness.
Here it is in front of the box.
Here is a closer view.
As you can see this set comes with several minifigs. The most notable being the Black Recon Spartan. There are two square crates, a power core and of course the awesome all black mongoose as great accessories to the set.

I highly recommend buy it and at the Target sale price, well what are you waiting for? Go and get one now!
The second in the three part series, this video shows the mold making process created from wax parts that in turn were created from the digital parts shown in the first video.
Here is the first part if you missed it:
McFarlane Toys has released the first of three videos on how they make Halo figures. In the first installment Todd McFarlane talks a bit first on how they acquired the license from Microsoft to make the line of toys, then the latter half shows an employee of McFarlane working on a digital model of Noble 6.
