I saw these yesterday at 2 Gamestops. They are pretty tiny compared to the Joyride ones. I don't think I'll be picking them up. Although they do look detailed, the size bothers me a bit
Ehhh. I dunno. Call me crazy but for some reason i've always preferred the Halo1 master chief armor design. Something about the hips and boots of the newer ones just doesn't jive with me. EDIT: I'll be honest, I pretty much just posted in this thread to flaunt a kirby avatar.
I just saw them in person today for the first time. No thanks...way too small for what they're asking for these. I'll take the Joyride figures over McEgo any day of the week.
Yessir! Here's some pics of the GameStop Exclusive Steel CQB. Front Close-Up Back Assault rifle! GRENADE! It stores on his leg! And gun goes on his back! I love it. Great little figure.
Like seriously, no joke here onesock. Can you go to Gamestop and buy one for me and I'll Paypal you? No Gamestop in Canadaz.
Man, I want these so bad. Too bad there's no Wal-Marts near me, and the fact that these probably aren't even out here yet.
I might have to get one or two of these... Where do they sell them, how much are they, and would it be worth my time to stop in GameStop this evening while I'm at Walmart?
Your best bet for the standard figures are Wal-Mart, where they retail for $10, although I imagine they'll get picked clean soon enough. They're also where the Blue Spartans are released (of course, store color). They're about $13 at Gamestop, and I would guess the $14-18 range at a comic book store, if not more. As for the exclusive figure breakdown:
Holy crap, McFarlane's actually making action figures again, instead of plastic statues!? I want the blue one (favorite color). Good to see the quality hasn't changed, though.
Pretty cool looking. Might have to get some, including one of those ODST soldiers in series 2. I always thought they were pretty cool looking with the black camo armor.
I'm the only one who picked up the Red EVA?? FAIL. Also that Gold MC is pretty hawt......plus I want a shotty and splaser.
I got the EVA today, I actually like him better than the steel CQB. So that brings my count to: 1 blue, 1 white, 1 red Mark VI, 1 steel CQB, 1 red EVA, and the master chief. I got a green grunt but dont know if Ill get the yellow one. I put in a reserve for MC series 2 and the Gamestop exclusive from series 2.
