Halo, the blockbuster sci-fi video game trilogy from computer giant Microsoft, is built around the story of Master Chief, a superhuman soldier whose already formidable abilities were enhanced by cybernetic means, such as the Mjolnir armor suit and the AI entity Cortana. Set in the distant future, Master Chief fights in humanity’s battle against the alliance of alien races called the Covenant.
Microsoft Game Studios has teamed up with Bungie to create the Halo franchise, which produces various kinds of merchandise, including Halo action figures. McFarlane Toys has developed the toy line since the inception of the first Halo installment, and continues to come up with highly-detailed and meticulously crafted action figures. These action figures are geared more towards the adult collector.
Series 6 of the McFarlane Halo action figures has been recently released. Dubbed the “Medal Edition” the set comprises new weapons, characters, and a set of 10 collectible medals. It also debuts the Halo 3 Rookie figure.
The “Rookie” is a six-inch, fully-poseable action figure. It dons a suit of segmented armor similar to the Master Chief’s Mjolnir outfit, albeit in various shades of gray than green. The figure has numerous points of articulation in the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, waist, thighs, knees, and ankles; and is incredibly detailed for a figure of its scale. It also comes with a detachable rifle.
The Spartan Recon Armor makes its first appearance in the toy line, along with retooled versions of the Spartan Eva, Elite Assault, Grunt, and Elite Shipmaster figures.
