Sunday Comics: Dead Island It’s 2011. You’ve seen how movies are made. You’ve seen how video games are made. But have you seen how video game toys are made?
McFarlane toys has released images of their eights series of Halo action figures, due in June. Continuing a pleasant trend, some are all-new figures, including ones from Halo: ODST.
It can be said McFarlane make too many Halo figures. A Spartan with a blue helmet, a Spartan with a blue helmet and a slightly different gun… it’s a nickel-and-dime show.
The seventh series of McFarlane’s Halo figures draws from four of the franchise’s games, three of its species, numerous gaudy colours and even a little Ninja Gaiden.
McFarlane Toys and Disney are teaming up to deliver a little shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal to the masses, with a massive toy line planned to coincide with the release of the film.
The New York Toy Fair kicked off over the weekend. And video games being big business and all, there were loads of new gaming figures on show. Loads.
New Halo game on the horizon? Better get McFarlane on the case, get some small, plastic action figures churned out. Oh, what’s that? McFarlane’s already on the case? How unexpected. These figures may have been announced in September, but today, here’s your first good look at them. They’re coming smaller (at 2.5″) than the standard Halo figures, and in packs of three, and all colour-coded, because Halo Wars is an RTS, get it? Expect them in March 2009.
Can’t tell you just how many Halo 3 figures this is from McFarlane. We’ve lost count. We can tell you, though, that for the first time in a long time, this is a new figure. Not a repaint, not an old figure with new weapons, it’s all new. And it’s a UNSC Marine, who comes with a battle rifle, a pistol and a trip mine. Should be out in March 2009, along with the other repaints/reissues in the gallery.
