Toyfair video of Halo Mega Bloks toys!

Posted on by

I didn’t get the chance to go this year, so I was bumming. However, I found the link to his vid via a collector site and just had to post it.

Points to note during the video are:
• Light up sets with sound!
• The Pelican comes with Majestic squad (well, that’s what Annamarie the rep said. (Wow that’s awesome news)
• A first ever light up character, which I have to think is the Promethean Knight showing it’s skull face (can be seen at 4:30 in the vid).
• Commande Palmer fig. (Wow, it’s cool that MB is finally making named Spartans!)
• A neat build a ship theme that spans three sets. Individually the sets are a small set piece, together they build the Booster Frame from the Halo Legends cartoon.
• One of those minifigs is a Halo 4 Medic!! (As a side note, we can have fun with Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter here as they did voice-over in Halo 4 with these being the characters they were made to be)
• Four versions of the Cyclops Mech-Jungle, Desert, Arctic, Stealth
• Halo 4 grunts, Brute Stalker (YES), variant color Elites from Halo 4
• Hornet set with Vampire Hornet lights up and makes sounds. (I do wish the Hornet was made available by itself.) The Vampire again? Yikes, that ship is barely known and not ever in the FPS games. This is the only ship I questions being made again. (This would have been a better opportunity for the Anti-Air Wraith to have been made instead.)
• The new “Cobra” set lights up and “transforms” from vehicle to turret positions.
• Engineer Spartan (seen at 6:25)
• Several Promethean fig/armor sets (army building sets!)

All in all some great set coming out. And I do very much like that they are smaller sets. Makes it that much easier to collect for both kids and fans alike.

  1. there are 2 mistakes that you wrote…..you said halo 3 medis even though they are halo 4…i think it was a spelling error…..also you wrote that the grizzly transforms while the set is actually the cobra

  2. also in my opinion i think they should remake the vampire… like you said it hardly had any use but in halo wars….this set will give it a chance of rememberance

    • I dunno, it’s just not an exciting vehicle save for the cockpit area. If it were in one of the FPS games I think it would have deserved another look. As I mentioned, I’d have preferred an Anit-Air Wraith instead since that one hasn’t been done yet.

      • look how many different wolverines we have had. and they were only in halo wars. and what about the cyclops. they her only in halo wars mulitplayer and we get 4 this year. i like this idea this year gives me a chance to get both the vampire and the hornet, which i missed last time around. as for the AA wraith, i think that should be a 2014 set as we just got a new wraith last year.

      • True, however the Wolverine is a more dynamic action vehicle than the Vampire. As well it’s a human vehicle which has traditionally sold better. As for the Cyclops, that has long been desired by collectors when it was first seen as part of the now cancelled “Firebase” set. That it is coming out in four colors doesn’t surprise me at all. Considering those color variations as well, they all make sense. Green is the most popular, followed by arctic. Desert has just started becoming popular and the Stealth color has rocketed in popularity, in part due to the previous sets and minifigs in that color variation. I get that you want the Vampire. I did too. To be honest thought, once I had it, I was a bit let down. Not really Mega’s fault. It just isn’t a dynamic vehicle. Perhaps if it has some more moving parts or shot out missiles. As a toy though that only has a moving canopy, it’s a little boring. Again, with exception to the cockpit are which looks like a Needler on steroids.

  3. also come to think about it….and hopefully it will happen but it would be cool to have the vampire light up to…with it’s giant needles lighting up in a sequinized format so it would look like it was shooting…..that could easily be done inthe place were the cockpit is….and speaking about that……mega bloks made it wrong….that isn’t the Real place were the cockpit is…that is the turret that the gunner uese…that is suppose to spin 360degrees but the pilot and gunner seat is located were those to bumps are on the side of the vamire….reason how i know is that i hijack them and they opened up the side to get in
