McFarlane Toys/Halo 4 Series 1: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:37, September 27, 2012

McFarlane Toys Halo 4 Series 1 action figures were released in August, 2012. Carded figure came in two different types of packaging. The majority of figures were packed with the traditionally shaped cards, but some retailers had figures in much slimmer cards, just large enough to fit the figure. This was most likely done for retailers that have limited space, such as GameStop.

Carded Figures

Master Chief

This Master Chief figure is based off of Master Chief's new appearance in Halo 4. It comes with a MA5D Assault Rifle. This figure was first released in the 2012 San Diego Comic Con.

Elite Zealot

The Elite Zealot figure comes with an Energy Sword. Like previous McFarlane Elite figures, its helmet is removable. Its redesigned hand makes it impossible for the figure to hold the Energy Sword firmly and there's no back storage. The Elite's bodysuit also seems to include gloves.
