Halo 3 MacFarlane figures packaged, pretty, coming soon

by Scott Jon Siegel { Jan 28th 2008 at 9:00PM }

Gird your loins, because the McFarlane Toys line of Halo 3 action figures is on its way. Still due to drop in March, the snazzy-looking collectibles have already gone through packaging design, and X3F has collected some photos of what to look out for on retail shelves.

With war-torn backdrops, and minimalistic packaging (except for the bizarre "Cortana LIGHTS UP!" sticker), these designs were clearly made to show off the figures, and for good reason. We might just pick up a few Spartan soldiers for ourselves, to re-enact our favorite Halo 3 multiplayer moments.

Oh yeah, I forgot to be annoying...FIRST!

Does anybody really buy these and play with them? They seem cool, but I'd rather just have a statue. Seems more fitting to the game.

I have bought Macfarlane figures from years now.Some of them were action figures (Not Dolls alright) but Macfarlane new products are pretty much statutes now,hell the last spawn I bought barely moved and it cut me,I'm telling you spawn is still badass.

True, Spawn is quite the BAMF. That, you can never take away.

Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the game is made. Halo-the T-shirt, Halo-the Coloring Book, Halo-the Lunch box, Halo-the Breakfast Cereal, Halo-the Flame Thrower.

The kids love this one.

oh i see what you referenced there.
funny, she doesn't look druidish. XD
a think its more so you can pose them around stuff, like having the chief grabbing onto something or having them interact.
how much are these supposed to be again?

Halo: The Cereal slogan

"Halo the Flamethrower"

Oh Holy shit I want that.

Hal-Os: Cereal Evolved

I feel so original right now, and by original I mean like a dirty plagiarist.

I don't know of anyone who "plays" with them, unless they're the Halo ActionClix...
But I have a few of the old spartan action figures, and they hang out on the shelves of my game and DVD collection. I've gotten a few compliments on them, and I enjoy looking at them or putting them next to my computer monitor sometimes, so they're pretty cool.

Also, some people have made some pretty cool/funny stop motion videos with the action figures, so that's cool.

Now I can live out my fantasies with Cortana! Thanks MacFarlane!

That one isn't inflatable.

Mr.ESC @ Jan 28th 2008 9:25PM

not dolls.

Smoke_Dawg_187 @ Jan 28th 2008 10:10PM

I'll admit that I just pre-ordered the white Master Chief last nite. Bigbadtoys.com for $12

T-Bag @ Jan 28th 2008 10:33PM

So now we're playing with toys? I play games sure, but I'd die before being caught buying these "collectables", or should I say action figures for ages 6-12.

Autopsy15 @ Jan 29th 2008 12:09AM

What the hell is the difference between "Master Chief" and the oh-so generic "Spartan Soldier"? Why don't they just call him "White Master Chief?"...it's a race thing isn't it. Cause then we'd have to have a "Black Master Chief" and a "Yellow Master Chief".

/don't take me seriously

fester @ Jan 29th 2008 12:45AM

I melted down my Big Daddy and made my own Chief. Unfortunately he's only the size of a Grunt. lol

ScottyGEE32 @ Jan 29th 2008 1:56AM

The statue thingies are great...Incredibly detailed and large...Those are something I'd consider purchasing to make my workspace all the more kooler :3

But this? Nah, perhaps these will replace the wrestling toys that I used to play with for the current generation. But for me? No thanks...
