The image is a comparison between McFarlane Halo action figures. They are to scale with each other, so they also represent the scale in the game.
Wow, Master Chief looks PUNY… 🙁

So are you excited for the Didact figure? Plan on getting it? Do you have the Knight and/or Master Chief yet?

When you buy the soon to be released Halo 4 series 2 action figures from McFarlane Toys, you’ll get an extra bonus!!!
FINALLY, we have pics of what these skins look like and are called. Personally, as I’m a collector of McFarlane figures, I’m VERY happy that these are coming out. Without further ado, let’s get to the SKINS!
The Storm Rifle finally gets a SKIN. ANd it’s very COOL (pun intended). It’s called “CHILL” ANd you’ll be chillin’ like a villain if you use this cool as ice skin!
Next it’s time to “Engage” upon a new Carbine skin, called…ENGAGE. I think this DEFINITELY looks like a skin you’d see on Covenant Weapon.
There’s no bones about it, this next skin is awesome.
For the next skin we have Riptide. I like the look of this skin. I just wish we could give the skins other colors.
Next we have an armor skin. By wearing this would we then be the Toxic Avenger?
Another Armor Skin is NOT Ruined by this design. In fact RUIN is my second favorite of these new skins.
And finally a pair of skins that share the same name. One for a weapon, the other for an armor skin. I give you: REFRACTIVE!
These two skins are by FAR my favorite of all of these new skins. It makes sense too as the Didact figure is going to cost you more than the other figures since it’s bigger. Still, I can’t wait to ROCK these skins!!!
Look for these figures in October from major retailers.
Here’s the blurb from McFarlane on these:
“For years, McFarlane Toys’ Halo action figures have brought the characters of the Halo video game series to your toy collection. This Fall, they’ll start giving back, by bringing cool new customization options into your Halo 4 game!
With Halo 4 Series 2, all of our figures will come with unique codes that unlock new, exclusive in-game content to help you stand out in Halo Infinity multiplayer. We’ve got a total of eight new armor and weapon skins, and each one is only available through McFarlane Toys action figures. Each figure unlocks a different item. All armor skins feature customizable colors.
Update your Spartan’s armor and loadouts with these never-before-seen patterns!
If your Spartan needs a new style, help is on its way. Halo 4 Series 2 will be in stores this October.”

I have to say, this piece of artwork is FANTASTIC. The artist is credited on HaloWaypoint as “Aliqaiser” I’d love to know what media they chose for this. Just GREAT. I’d love to get a print of this.

This is the final custom from my custom craze weekend. And it’s a biggie!
Taking the Sabre’s bay parts form the Countdown set (with exception to the green bloks that I used to make the Lookout Tower that I posted yesterday), I did a total reconfig. I paid special attention to make sure each level of the tower was accessible by stairs or ladders.
Here’s what I came up with:
Like I said, it’s a biggie! Standing 5 stories tall, it makes use of all those structural girders. I have to say it’s pretty strong too. I can easily pick it up by the side and it holds together VERY well.
Some orthogonal views.
Close -up of the back of the tower showing the stair and ladder access.
Front view below showing another set of stairs and a ladder. The ladder has two uses. Not only is it access to the third floor, but also makes it easy to get on top of a vehicle for repairs. (Note the Mantis in pics later in this article)
The side room from the ops room is detachable in case you want a more flat area. Oh and yes, I did not change the ops room at all, with one exception. I moved the door frame to the other side.
And now for some shots in action with figures and a Mantis! I happened to be lucky enough to get the Mantis to fit in the first three levels without having to increase any of the levels height.
Below a Spartan climbs up a ladder to talk with a technician.

Below a marine climbs a ladder. Is he going higher in the tower or is he going to work on the Mantis? You decide!
And finally, here are all of the customs I made over the past weekend, with the Halo 4 Warthog also pictured.
I don’t often make customs, so this weekend was a LOT of fun for me and a way to be creative. I do have one last custom that I’m planning on making. This will be a UNSC Broadsword. It will be made from the Sabre parts from the Countdown set as well as the Shortsword set. Yes, it’s going to go against my normal one set rule…
So what do you think of this tower? What I like most is it’s accessibility from floor to floor, not to mention it’s HUGE!
