me want this…


spartan-soldier.jpgI honestly haven’t been into action figures for quite some time. I find most of them unfulfilling and useless, but after entering cubicle land, I’ve come to find they’re absolutely a necessary part of getting through the work day. These upcoming Halo action figures from Todd McFarlane simply look awesome. I’ve always been a fan of McFarlane’s, mostly since he seemed like the first one to offer cool looking action figures, the kind you’d have to import from Japan, and make them mass market.

I’m really looking forward to these, and they’re probably not going to be all that plentiful, or cheap. The other bummer is some of the exclusivity clauses make Wal-Mart the sole providers for several of the action figures, along with “specialty stores” which pretty much means big gaming conglomerates like GameStop and EB Games. For some reason they’re also not coming out until 2008. God only knows why it takes that long to mold that much plastic.

You can find more shots of the figures at Spawn.com’s Halo 3 page.
