These two pics have been leaked and I’m happy to bring them to you. The front is Master Chief, which we all knew would be in this wave.
Note however that in this pic there is a San Diego ComicCon sticker. It’s likely this is an early release with the only difference being the sticker itself. Again, Master Chief is in the first wave at mass retail, so unless you just HAVE to have one carded with the SDCC sticker on it, I suggest you pass on it.
The second pic shows the back and there is some interesting information to be read there. Now we know that the first wave consists of: Master Chief, an Elite Zealot, a Grunt “Storm” (Wonder what that means?), and a Spartan “Warrior.” Below that is says to look for Cortana, Spartan “Soldier” (Hmm, SPartan Classes now too, besides loadouts?), a Crawler and a Watcher. The last two are interesting. Are the the fauna of the shiled world “Requiem,” or are they a Forerunner construct like the engineer and just have different jobs that the engineers do?
Here’s a pic of Requiem from the inside. In it you can kind of make out flying animals/constructs that sort of resemble the Watcher. (Click on it to make bigger)
Very near center, just to the right of the middle hanging column is the animal/construct I’m talking about. Could this be a watcher? Or is it an engineer?
At any rate, the back of the card also notes that coming Holiday 2012 there will be a “Secret Enemy Figure.” It goes on to say “Don’t miss this deluxe boxed figure of an enemy unlike anything before.”
Well if that doesn’t whet your appetite for new Halo McFarlane toys, I don’t know what will.
Thanks to “Mr. Sci-Fi” for providing me a link so I could present this to you.
