McFarlane has released different views of the figures I posted previously. CHeck them out (as always click to make bigger):

First up is our main hero: Master Chief

This armor has really grown on me. He’s svelte, yet still looks like he could kick your ass. The packaging really highlights him too.

Next we have this AWESOME Elite Zealot.

Just check out the detailing here. Spikey thorns coming from his back, horns from the back of his helmet. The Elite looks MUCH more like a Demon. Odd, since that’s the name Elites have for Master Chief. I LOVE this new look. They look badder, meaner, more terrifying.

Our loveable Grunts all grown up and MEAN:

This look is a bit different from what we know as typical grunts. While the methane tank on the back is close to some of the grunts in Reach, it’s the delivery system to the grunt itself that is different. Gone is the mouth mask, replaced with a nose hose. Also, the skin has certainly change. I think for the better. I like the enemies mean. Though I’ll miss some of the goofy stuff the grunts have said in past Halo games.

Now we have our first multiplayer “War Games” Spartan. It’s the Red Warrior class Spartan. There is also a Blue one in this wave, however McFarlane Toys have not yet released photos of that figure.

I like this armor. New, yet somewhat reminiscent of the typical Mjolnir armor we know.

Finally the first boxed set of this new series of Halo figs. Master Chief and his Cryo tube.

Looks like the same Master Chief as in the single carded figure. However notice this one has the new Sticky grenade pistol, while the carded one has an Assault Rifle.

I think the packaging for the box set looks a little bland, but I’ll for sure get one. (I open almost everything anyway, so packaging almost never matters to me.)

These are due in August, 2012. MSRP is around $12-13. Check your local retailers and e-tailers for prices.
