McFarlane Toys has announced an exclusive Halo figure for San Diego Comic-Con. The figure is based on Grifball, the Halo variant game brought to you by Rooster Teeth – the guys who produce Red vs. Blue.
Halo Grifball Spartan
Grifball Spartan Will Be Sold Exclusively by Toys ‘R’ Us
McFarlane Toys will be offering a Toys “R” Us Grifball Spartan to be sold during San Diego Comic-Con 2009. This Spartan features the highly coveted Recon armor, plus a Bomb, Gravity Hammer and Sword Hilt.
The McFarlane Toys Grifball Spartan marks the first time an action figure has been created based on the Grifball game. Created by Rooster Teeth, Grifball is an intense, fast-paced sport video game that’s played on an open court between two teams of four players. The object is to take the ball in the middle of the court and put it in the other team’s goal. Learn all about it at the official Grifball site.
The Grifball Spartan is limited to 6,000 pieces and will sell for $15.
This exclusive will be available during San Diego Comic-Con — details to come.

Mattel has announced their lineup of exclusives for San Diego Comic Con 2009 on their Facebook page for MattyCollector.com.
DC Universe Classics – Wonder Twins 2 pack
Unless this is an elaborate April Fool’s Day hoax, the heavily rumored 2-pack of Zan and Jayna is coming, with a Gleek pack-in plus a number of fitting accessories. I’m sure there are many Super Friends fans who are rejoicing, while comic purists are cursing the cruel world.
Masters of the Universe – Classics He-Ro
DC Universe Infinite Heroes – Anti-Monitor (free with points and raffle for 30-inch figure)
Justice League Unlimited – Green Lantern Origins 3 pack – Abin Sur, Hal Jordan, and Sinestro
This JLU Hal Jordan is probably not the one you were hoping for, but Mattel did note that both Abin Sur and Sinestro’s heads were removable!
Playmates has announced the toy lineup to support the upcoming Star Trek feature film being released by Paramount on May 9th. The following toy lines are set with a street date of April 19th. Additional lineups for the fall to be announced.

For a limited time only, you can pick up both the red mutant – Ssejjhhorr, and the green mutant – Grruxx action figures as a set of two for only $25.00!!
And if you order them soon, shipping is free within the continental U.S., no matter how many sets you order!!
Now’s your chance to get in there and start your own mutant army to take on Ramathorr, Xetheus and the soon to be released Queen Alluxandra!
Both Mutants are highly articulated and include dual battle axes! These are the unsigned versions.
GRRUXX (green): Most of these figures were part of the first round of figures that were produced by our old factory. This means that some of the figures’ joints may be loose and/or brittle and the packaging may be pretty beat up, but they may also be perfectly fine. Grruxx is a great figure for customizers or do-it-yourselfers! We can’t guarantee the quality of the joints, or packaging of any of the Grruxx figures, but at only $12.50 (when purchased as part of this 2 figure set), we can guarantee that you’ll get them at a great cost and NO SHIPPING CHARGES WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. For a limited time only!
SSEJJHHORR (red): These figures were returned to us by the vendor as “unsellable” because of damaged packaging. The figures came from the second production run of the Anitherian Nine, so the figures themselves should be fine. Ssejjhhorr is a great figure for customizers or package openers! Sure the packaging might look like crap, but at only $12.50 (when purchased as part of this 2 figure set), you’ll get them at a great cost and NO SHIPPING CHARGES WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. For a limited time only!
