No thread of this has been done about this, so might as well make one. This line is one of many figure lines that have made very detailed and fairly articulated figures, but have mainly done ones that are in a fixed pose with limited articulation. This line is also well known due to the fact that alot of Halo characters have been made with more articulation than the other figures that McFarlane has made. They have done other figures from other games, movies, and even national sports players. Though they do seem more focused on making more Halo figures (even some that are small figures that don't move), like a Sentinel and 343 Guilty Spark for the Anniversary line in Series 2. So what;s your thoughts on this? Do share your words about this.

I only have the articulated Spawn from Image 10th Anniversary series. It was great, really love all the detail and good articulation, and cool diorama base. Though mine suffer a loose leg joints, so didn't bother to make too many pose :\

And as I'm not a Halo nor fixed pose/limited articulation figure, I don't plan to increase my collection from this line ^^a

I used to be into McFarlane's products from 2001 until 2004. The first figure that got my attention was the Movie Maniacs Terminator 2 "T-1000". I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I got it at the time. I also liked their Terminator 3, Matrix, Aliens, and Predator figures. Though NECA has pretty much overtaken them now and given me all that McFarlane had refused to do years ago... Terminator 2 AND The Terminator. And much improved Predator figures. :buttrock:

Might have been posted by mcfarlane days ago, but I thought I do this.

[HIDE]‘HALO: REACH’ SERIES 6 LINEUP REVEALED
New Figures, Boxed Sets, and More Coming in February 2012
September 09, 2011
Copyright 2011 TMP International, Inc.


Updated October 28th, 2011. Check the bottom of the article for the latest information.

Our best-selling line of Halo: Reach action figures returns for a sixth series in early 2012. Get ready, because we're bringing more Noble Team Spartans, more fearsome Elites, more massive Brutes, and a special emphasis on what keeps the fans coming back to Halo: Reach -- multiplayer action! With single figures, two-packs, three-packs, and accessory packs, this series has something for everyone.

Individual Carded Figures

Jun (unhelmeted)
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Three brings back Jun with his unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes his signature Sniper Rifle and a Frag Grenade.

Kat (unhelmeted)
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Two brings back Kat with her unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes her signature Magnum and a Frag Grenade.

Brute Major
The fearsome Jiralhanae, better known as Brutes, dominate the battlefield with their raw strength and savagery. Only those warriors who have proven themselves in battle may earn the right to wear the distinctive gold armor of the Major class. Figure comes with Spike Rifle and Plasma Grenade.

Elite Zealot
The Covenant dispatch Elite advance teams to hunt down artifacts of value to their religion. Such teams are small, nimble, and almost always Zealot-class. Our latest Elite figure features the unique armor and maroon color of the Sangheili Zealot. Figure comes with Concussion Rifle and Plasma Grenade.

Sabre Pilot
When the planet Reach was threatened by a Covenant supercarrier, Noble Team initiated the daring Operation: UPPER CUT to take it down. Noble Six and Jorge took the lead, but they couldn't have succeeded without the assistance of the brave Sabre pilots of Echo Team. Our Sabre Pilot figure features the simple blue flightsuit and enclosed helmet of the UNSC Air Force -- essential for the cramped cockpit conditions and proximity to the vacuum of space. Figure comes with DMR.

Spartan HazOp (male) (rust/rust)
Some operations are considered hazardous even for a fully armored Spartan. These ops call for the specialized HazOp armor set. This Spartan features the Hazardous Operations helmet and shoulders, orange "rust" paint, and includes a Focus Rifle and a Plasma Grenade. Exclusive to Toys "R" Us.

Spartan Recon (male) (team red/team red)
Developed in ONI's Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility, the Recon armor was intended to offer stealth capabilities with little or no loss of endurance. This figure comes with matching Recon helmet, shoulders, and chestplate; is painted in bright "team one" red; and includes the intimidating Rocket Launcher weapon and a Frag Grenade. Exclusive to Target.

Spartan JFO (male) (white/white)
The Joint Fires Observer helmet is reserved for Spartans of Lieutenant Colonel rank and above. Figure comes with matching JFO helmet and shoulders, white armor, a Plasma Grenade, and an all-new weapon: the devastating Target Locator. Exclusive to GameStop.

Boxed 2-Packs

Team Objectives
Our first-ever Halo Accessory Pack brings the action of Halo: Reach multiplayer to your figure collection! Stage an epic match of Capture the Flag between your Red Team Spartans and Blue Team Spartans with detailed replicas of the highly coveted team flags -- or pit your players against one another in a heated round of Assault with the Capture Plate and Assault Bombs. Want to throw an Elite or two into the mix? We've even included the Covenant version of the Assault Bomb, first introduced in the new map, Breakpoint. The Team Objectives Set includes a team red Spartan Mark V with Assault Rifle, a Red Flag with detachable base, Blue Flag with detachable base, UNSC Assault Bomb, Covenant Assault Bomb, and a Capture Plate.

Headhunter
Halo: Reach introduced several new gametypes to Halo multiplayer, including the fast-paced, chaotic mode known as Headhunter. In this free-for-all frenzy, players fight to collect flaming skulls and return them to the moving scoring zone. Whoever has collected the most at the end of the round wins! Our Headhunter 2-pack includes two Spartans and five flaming skulls for them to fight over. Player one is a male Spartan EVA custom with green and yellow armor, equipped with a DMR. Player two is a male Spartan Commando custom with violet and yellow armor, equipped with a Sniper Rifle. The five skulls included in this set all feature a unique sculpt, with flames rising from a different area of each elusive prize.

Boxed 3-Packs

Invasion
The multiplayer action continues with an expanded pack of figures based on the high-stakes, Spartan vs. Elite mode known as Invasion. On the Boneyard map, the Sangheili invaders team up to infiltrate a UNSC shipbreaking yard and steal a Data Core full of military secrets. The humans get their chance to infiltrate the enemy on the Spire map, which features a team of Spartans infiltrating a heavily guarded Covenant tower. Our Invasion 3-pack includes a red team Spartan Grenadier custom with Grenade Launcher, a blue team Elite General with Plasma Repeater, and both a UNSC Data Core and Covenant Data Core for each soldier to defend or capture.

Long Night of Solace
The unforgettable Halo: Reach campaign mission "Long Night of Solace" told the tale of Noble Team's courageous operation to infiltrate and destroy an orbiting Covenant supercarrier. For the first time in the Halo game series, Spartans took the fight into space, utilizing Noble Six's training as a pilot of the experimental Sabre spacecraft. Joining Six in the cockpit was his Spartan-II teammate, Jorge. Together, they faced waves of Covenant defenders, in both artificial gravity and low-gravity environments, to plant a bomb aboard their target and hopefully escape to fight the next battle. Our Long Night of Solace 3-pack commemorates this daring raid with a trio of figures from Operation: UPPERCUT. Set includes the unhelmeted version of Jorge with his Machine Gun Turret, the rare gold-armored version of the Elite Ranger, and Noble Six with Magnum and the all-new M-Spec Re-Entry Pack.

Small Vehicle Sets

Generator Defense
The unpredictable Firefight mode introduced in Halo 3: ODST returned in Halo: Reach with even more new and exciting gametypes. One such variant was Generator Defense, which features Spartans tasked with the protection of various electric generators threatened by the Covenant's unexpected attack. Our Generator Defense set brings this critical military asset to your figure collection. Keep it safe! Generator features a lockdown shield that can be raised and lowered and a radar dish that spins and pivots. Set also includes a male Spartan JFO custom in sage and steel armor, equipped with a Shotgun to repel any Elites that get too close.

Updates!

Since this article was posted, there have been a few changes to Halo: Reach Series 6. Don't panic, we've tried to keep them to a minimum! Read on for all the details...

Release Date
Halo: Reach Series 6 should be available at most retailers in February 2011.

Store Exclusive Figures
The team red Spartan Recon will now be available at Walmart and GameStop as well as Target. The white Spartan JFO will be exclusive to our latest newest Halo figure retailer, Walgreens. The rust Spartan HazOp is unchanged and remains exclusive to Toys‘R’Us.

Headhunter
The Headhunter 2-pack has been cancelled, but the Flaming Skull accessories are moving into the newly expanded Team Objectives set.

Team Objectives
This set still includes all the pieces that were previously announced, and we've added several bonus accessories to represent even more multiplayer gametypes. Set now also includes five Flaming Skulls (for Headhunter and Oddball), a Gray Flag (for Stockpile and 1-Flag CTF), and a Gravity Hammer (for Grifball).

With all these new, extra accessories, the Team Objectives set will ship a month later than the rest of Halo: Reach Series 6. I'll be available in March 2012, at the same time as Halo: Anniversary Series 2. We think it'll be worth the wait!

Long Night of Solace
Finally, the Long Night of Solace set is not being produced at this time. Its figures may return in a future Halo: Universe series, so keep checking www.mcfarlane.com for new lineup announcements![/HIDE]

And how big is that Spawn figure anyways? I'd like to check him out myself.

I've got a massive Neca & McFarlane collection. I just can't find the Room Display thread to repost some of my collection pics in here.

I am still contemplating on a Neca Tech Noir Terminator and Long Arm Freddy Krueger from the 1st Elm Street.

I have a bunch of Spawn figures, I don't mind that most of them are barely poseable, they're all fantastically sculpted and painted.
Medieval Spawn III (above) is a great looking figure, and Samurai Spawn and Scorpion Assassin are among my favorites, being both poseable and beautiful.

I also collected the Halo line, for the first 5 series or so, but I was also playing Halo online with my cousin a bunch, and when we stopped play I sorta lost interest in the figures, and i've been trying to unload them.
Although, now that I think about it, he just bought an Xbox specifically so he could get Halo so we could play again when we hang out every other week or so.
