McFarlane Announces Halo: Reach Warthog and Ghost Vehicles

I’ve been jonesing for the Warthog ever since McFarlane made the Mongoose set. I never got past the second game in the Halo franchise, but the Reach Warthog is close enough for me. Very cool!

‘HALO: REACH’ WARTHOG AND GHOST PHOTOS
Video Game Vehicles Drive into Stores This Fall

You’ve seen Halo: Reach Series 1, from the Comic-Con exclusive to the full assortment. You’ve seen the single figures, the two-packs, and the four-pack. But there are still two items Reach fans have been waiting to see: the most popular UNSC vehicle and the most iconic Covenant vehicle. That’s right — it’s time to reveal the Warthog and the Ghost. Enjoy the photos!

Warthog with Light Anti-Aircraft Gun
As recognizable as Master Chief himself, the UNSC Warthog has been featured in every Halo game. This large, Jeep-like vehicle can carry up to three five-inch Halo figures into battle. This version features the classic Light Anti-Aircraft Gun turret. Play action includes rolling wheels, turning steering wheel, spinning gun turret, and elevating Light Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Ghost Rapid Assault Vehicle
The Ghost vehicle has been in every Halo game, and is a definite fan-favorite. This small, one-man enemy vehicle is the perfect antagonist for the Warthog deluxe vehicle. Features pivoting nose guns, moving wing flaps, rotating grip controls, and a sliding seat to accommodate figures of various sizes.

Halo: Reach Series 1 Vehicles will be in stores everywhere by October.

Here’s another SDCC exclusive available at the Entertainment Earth booth – from the new Halo Reach line from McFarlane.

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON EXCLUSIVE ‘HALO: REACH’ FIGURE ANNOUNCED

‘Noble Seven’ Leads the Charge This July

McFarlane Toys and Toys ‘R’ Us team up to bring you “Noble Seven,” the first action figure available from the upcoming video game Halo®: Reach.

This fall, players will get the chance to join Noble Team and fight alongside the core members as Noble Six. Today, we’d like to introduce a new member of the team: “Noble Seven.”

No, Bungie hasn’t added a new Spartan to Noble Team — but they did help us create a unique figure for San Diego Comic Con 2010.

“Noble Seven” comes complete with an assault rifle, frag grenade, custom armor loadout, and studio-inspired paint job, designed by a team of artists from inside Bungie Studios’ top secret lair. This five-inch, fully-posable, limited-edition action figure will be available at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343), during San Diego Comic-Con, July 22-25, 2010.

Don’t miss your chance to get your “Noble Seven” figure signed by Todd McFarlane — Friday, July 23 from 5 to 6:30PM at the Entertainment Earth Booth (#2343).

Be sure to check out the rest of McFarlane Toys’ Halo: Reach action figures and vehicles, arriving in stores everywhere this September.
