'Halo: Reach' Action Figure Media Assault Begins Figure Photos Starting to Be Revealed Across the Internet Wednesday, July 07, 2010
UPDATE: Full series photography has been officially revealed! Click here for all the photos. You've waited long enough. Starting today, McFarlane Toys is excited to bring you the first official images of our upcoming Halo®: Reach action figures. McFarlane Toys has been producing action figures based on the Halo series of video games since 2008, and they have quickly grown to become one of our most popular product lines. What began with Halo 3 has expanded to include the entire Halo universe, including the latest titles such as Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST. Our proven success, and passion for all things Halo, even led to the honor of being selected to create a part of the game itself: the Noble Team statue available exclusively with the Legendary Edition of Halo: Reach. But we're just getting started. Now, McFarlane Toys is proud to expand our Halo action figure program with figures and vehicles based on the latest installment in the saga -- Halo: Reach. The video game and action figure release date is approaching fast. You've probably caught a partial lineup list or some early photos already. Now, it's time to make it official. Over the next week, we'll be releasing images of several Halo: Reach Series 1 figures with the help of some major media partners. Which photos are going where?
