\"McF<\/a><\/p>\n

Very soon we will be seeing these figures at retail. McFarlane was nice enough to show off these detailed pics of the upcoming figs.<\/p>\n

\"web_Halo5S2_GroupShot_01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s start from left to right from the above pic:<\/p>\n

Spartan Hermes: <\/strong><\/span>This is a repaint of Kelly from Series 1 of the Halo 5 figures.<\/p>\n

I happened to like this color scheme. Heh, any of you that are Green Bay Packers fans will LOVE IT! I do like that it comes with the new Halo 5 rocket launcher.\"Web_Halo5S2_SpartanHermes\"<\/a>\"Web_Halo5S2_SpartanHermes_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just look at that detail! Nicely painted, both the figure and the weapon. The small hole on the side of the launcher is for a peg to be inserted, then that to be attached to the figure’s back, via a hole there.\"Web_Halo5S2_SpartanHermes_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, there is a Boltshot that comes with the figure. Definitely happy to have options from which to pose the figure.\"Web_Halo5S2_SpartanHermes_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you haven’t already bought McFarlane Halo figures, I highly suggest them. These are super articulated!\"Halo_5_Series_2_Spartan_Hermes_RP\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spartan Athlon (RED): <\/strong><\/span>This is another\u00a0repaint. In the first series, we actually got TWO Athlons. The mass retail version being yellow\/black and the exclusive figure being blue\/white.<\/p>\n

This one is a red with what seems like maroon??<\/p>\n

I have to say that Athlon is one of my favorites from Halo 5. I think it’s due to the sleekness of the armor. Though it’s slight similarity to football gear is another reason why I like it.\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanAthlon_Final\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanAthlon_01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see it comes with the Hydra.\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanAthlon_02\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanAthlon_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And also a Boltshot.\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanAthlon_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a look at how weapons attach to the back of the figs. Not seen is the peg I mentioned earlier.

\"Halo_5_Series_2_Spartan_Athlon_Photo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spartan Helljumper<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t confuse this one with Buck, who is also part of this wave.\u00a0\"web_Halo5S3_SpartanHellJumper\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The armor skin on the Spartan is pretty darn cool. As you can see it includes an SMG.\"web_Halo5S3_SpartanHellJumper_05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well there is a knife. I’m not certain, but I think this might be removable.\u00a0\"web_Halo5S3_SpartanHellJumper_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It also comes with this cool energy sword.\"web_Halo5S3_SpartanHellJumper_03\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S3_SpartanHellJumper_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do like that at least with a repaint, they’ve made it similar to the blue\/white Athlon form series 1. Could this be a new Fireteam in the making???\"Halo_5_Series_2_Spartan_Helljumper_Photo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, Spartan Buck!
\n<\/strong>Buck comes with a Hydra too. Note the Osiris emblem on his shoulder armor.\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_final\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_02\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_03\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just point and shoot….with a magnum!\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_05\"<\/a>\"web_Halo5S2_SpartanBuck_06\"<\/a>\"Halo_5_Series_2_Spartan_Buck_Photo\"<\/a>So what do you folks this on series 2 of the Halo 5 Guardians McFarlane figures? Detail is great as always. Which Spartans do you hope get made next?<\/p>\n

I of course want McFarlane Toys to complete Foretell Osiris as well as Blue team. To that end, we only need Vale from Osiris and Linda from Blue team, once series 2 comes out.<\/p>\n
