He&#8217;s svelte, yet still looks like he could kick your ass. The packaging really highlights him too.<\/p>\n<p>Next we have this AWESOME Elite Zealot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-elite-zealot_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1885\" title=\"halo4 elite zealot_sm\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-elite-zealot_sm-1024x308.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-elite-zealot_sm-1024x308.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-elite-zealot_sm-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-elite-zealot_sm.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s the name Elites have for Master Chief. I LOVE this new look. They look badder, meaner, more terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Our loveable Grunts all grown up and MEAN:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-storm-grunt_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1886\" title=\"halo4 storm grunt_sm\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-storm-grunt_sm-1024x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-storm-grunt_sm-1024x284.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-storm-grunt_sm-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-storm-grunt_sm.jpg 1685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;ll miss some of the goofy stuff the grunts have said in past Halo games.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have our first multiplayer &#8220;War Games&#8221; Spartan. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-spartan-warrior-red_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1887\" title=\"halo4 spartan warrior-red_sm\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-spartan-warrior-red_sm-1024x284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-spartan-warrior-red_sm-1024x284.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-spartan-warrior-red_sm-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-spartan-warrior-red_sm.jpg 1685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I like this armor. New, yet somewhat reminiscent of the typical Mjolnir armor we know.<\/p>\n<p>Finally the first boxed set of this new series of Halo figs. Master Chief and his Cryo tube.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-masterchief-cryotube_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1888\" title=\"halo4 masterchief-cryotube_sm\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-masterchief-cryotube_sm-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-masterchief-cryotube_sm-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-masterchief-cryotube_sm-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/halo4-masterchief-cryotube_sm.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I think the packaging for the box set looks a little bland, but I&#8217;ll for sure get one. (I open almost everything anyway, so packaging almost never matters to me.)<\/p>\n<p>These are due in August, 2012. MSRP is around $12-13.
