Coming to major retail stores like Wal*Mart, Target, and Toys R Us is one of Mega Bloks new Halo sub-line. This is the REAP-X Light Assault Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL).
The set includes:
• Buildable ONI REAP-X Light Assault VTOL
• UNSC Spartan in MK VI navy blue with DMR
• Covenant Jackal w/Yellow energy shield and Beam Rifle
Here’s the toy description:
The UNSC Light Assault VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) craft is a heavily armed, full mobility combat flier designed to operate in confined environments. It has three turbines that allow the vehicle to quickly and deftly navigate narrow spaces. Below its flanking turbines hang twin autocannons (GAU-10/A HAC) and a pair of rocket pods (M302 Class-1 GMLS), both of which are extremely competent arsenals when providing ground support or engaging in air-to-air combat.
Dimensions in Inches: 12.0L x 2.0W x 11.5H
I’m very happy that this set has the Halo 4 style Jackal. The red visor on the Spartan throws me off a bit as it’s the first Spartan mini fig to have a red visor. Then again, this is a sub-line, so some liberties have been taken and that visor color is in Halo 4.
I for one am excited to see what else this sub-line is going to bring us. New and fantastical designs. Will these be part of a new game? Perhaps part of the newly announced Halo TV show for XBOX One? Regardless, look for this and other REAP-X MEGA BLOKS Halo toys soon!
