Here’s some booth pics of the Halo, Playmakers, and Prince of Persia lines from McFarlane. I didn’t speak to anyone at the booth, but it was interesting to see Todd McFarlane working the booth. He’s participated in special events at Toy Fair before, but I can’t remember him actively manning the booth and talking to buyers and media.

With new models for the space marines, monsters, and vehicles, Halo: Reach should breathe some new life into McFarlane’s Halo action figure franchise. I’m hoping that we’ll finally get an in-scale Warthog for the 5-inch line. I can dream, right?

I wouldn’t quite say that I was on pins and needles for this McFarlane announcement, as the McF PR people would suggest. Even though Halo is probably the best McFarlane line ever, I stopped playing the video game franchise at Halo 2. But because it’s so good, I’m still cherry-picking the toys.
I just picked up the Toys R Us exclusive Mongoose set, but it’s been relegated to the new pile of unopened toys that I hope to one day photograph. My wife won’t allow me to call it “New Staging Area One” so I’ll take suggestions on what to christen it, even though I know I’ll have to dismantle it really soon.

I really like how the Halo figures from McFarlane look and pose, and if they had been in either the 6-inch or 3.75-inch scale I probably would have bought a lot more than the couple that I have. But alas, these are in an odd 5-inch scale that allows a tremendous amount of detail but with a lot less cost.
Series 6 comes with Medals from Halo 3 and should be hitting stores this month. Also due this month, the Mongoose with Spartan set. I may not be able to resist picking up that set.
