Halo Mega Bloks series 6 minifigures!

As some of you know I LOVE collecting Halo toys. Mega Bloks is one of the top two licensees I collect (the other being McFarlane).

Mega Bloks has some incredible Halo toys out there. Every few months they come out with a new series of collectible minifigures. These are blind packaging, though you do see at least what consists of the wave on the outside of the packet.

These retail for around $3-3.50 US depending on where you get them from.

Series 6 has now been revealed, take a look:

For this series we get:

Grunt: Okay, this is essentially the same as the one we got in series 5. I’m not complaining though. I LOVE building up small armies of the little guys.
Purple EOD Spartan: I like the armor, and the color is fantastic. I’m not normally a purple person, but for these minifigs it’s a good color.
Yellow Mark V [b] Spartan: This mold of the minifig has only been available in the +$100 Sabre Countdown set. So to be able to get it here is great! Especially if you want to make a custom default Noble 6 by painting him.
Tan Marine w/masked face: Again, another good army builder. With the recent tan armory sets released, this minifig will help to augment those troops.
Jackal: WHOLLY MOLY! I’m SO glad and excited this minifig is being made available. I’ve wanted to build up a small army of these for awhile. I may ask for your help in finding this one folks. I’m trying to build up an army of 30. I already have 10 from previous sets…
Cyan Elite (yes, cyan, not blue): Again, a good color and sought after by Halo Mega Bloks collectors. Nice to have elites to build up too.
Stealth EVA: OMG, this is one I’m very much looking forward to having. I LOVE this shark-skin color. This color has only been previously available in Toys R Us exclusive sets. So, to be able to add to that squad with a single pack figure is a great addition!
Crimson “Not-Jorge” Spartan: Previously available as “Not-Jorge” in the Spade vs Skirmisher set and the Flood Siege set as the stealth color, the Crimson version is a VERY welcome redux. I’m a fan of the color anyway, so this is a no-brainer pick up for me.

Also, be on the lookout for certain other extremely rare minifigs not shown on the packaging. For instance in the previous series we had a translucent Red, translucent blue, and translucent “smoke” spartans in the series, though not pictured on the packaging.

Rumor has it there will be a translucent Purple Elite… I LOVE translucent toys. Just seeing how the are made and come together is something I’ve always found VERY cool.

Are you a Halo Mega Bloks fan?

My Forward Unto Dawn episode 4 graphic novel on HaloWaypoint.com!

Fan-made Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Graphic Novel: Part 4

Woot, featured right on the homepage! Thanks VERY much to BS Angel for posting this as well as the first 3. Would you believe I’m not done with episode 5 yet? See there was a little something that happened earlier in the week that kind of took my time away from finishing the graphic novel. I’ll give you ONE guess what that is…

So, to make sure I finish this, I’ll be working on episode 5’s graphic novel today and have that available on the blog.

Thanks to all that have said good things about the graphic novels. I’ve enjoyed doing them and will complete the series today. Then it’s on to Spartan Ops the graphic novel. I just wish we had theater for Spartan Ops as I’d LOVE to be able to include gameplay pics in the graphic novels.
