McFarlane extends their Halo line by adding a vehicle to their 5-inch scaled line of Halo action figures, including an exclusive set for Toys R Us.  With their recent downsizing and the Halo line’s “in-between” scale, this is somewhat of a surprise.  Vehicles are commonplace in the 3.75-inch scale and practically non-existent in 6-inch scale.  Previously, Spawn had produced the Warthog, Ghost, and Brute Chopper for their smaller 3-inch line of Halo figures.

Granted, the Mongoose is one of the smallest vehicles in the Halo franchise, but if this does well, maybe we’ll see more.  Personally, I’d love to see a Warthog for this line.

NEW ‘HALO’ MONGOOSE — ULTRA-LIGHT, ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE COMING THIS FALL

This October you can begin your vehicular assault with the Mongoose Ultra-light All-terrain Vehicle. The boxed set includes a 5-inch scale Mongoose and exclusive Spartan driver with 26 moving parts. The Mongoose comes loaded with various functionality including handlebars that turn, tires that spin, adjustable foot pegs and a rear seat that folds down to allow a 2nd figure to fit on the back! (Second figure sold separately)

The Mongoose is the first in-scale vehicle compatible with our 5-inch Halo figures. There are three versions available, each with a different Spartan:

• MONGOOSE WITH ORANGE MARK V (new armor type!)
• MONGOOSE WITH CYAN EOD
• MONGOOSE WITH CRIMSON AND STEEL CQB (Exclusive to Diamond and Toys R Us!)

The Halo Mongoose is scheduled to reach stores nationwide in October.

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.

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.
