The Geohound Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The saddest part currently is while I have an entire teams worth of Blue Spartans (well, a 4v4 team) but I have only two Red Spartans. I'm not counting the CQB Spartans because they are a darker shade of each color and thus, incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I recently got the series 5 boxset that comes with the black Hayabusa, and I gotta say the Yellow and Pink Spartans look amazing. They seem even more crisp and detailed than all the other Halos. Yellow and Pink Spartans have become two new favorites that go towards the top of my list. Really, all new minimates have been turning out great. So, much respect and appreciation to DST and Art Asylum. Great Job! I highly recommend getting this set. I wish Halo could keep going. Maybe if another game gets released we will see more. The Covenant troops all look great and would love to get more of those in different colors as well. I'd love to buy a Halo Weapons pack too, some of the best minimate accessories out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryme Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Anyone knows if Halo Mega Bloks ODST Pods works well with Minimates? I mean can a minimate fits in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I haven't tried it, but I'm going to say "no". There's barely enough room for the MB figures. Maybe the new McFarlane pods will work (albeit a bit big)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryme Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I see, saw some video review on it and I'm really intrigued to try it out maybe clear up some more space in the pod for a minimate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'll have to find mine and check.... The mongoose looks great with mates though! I bought a few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) A basic 'Mate will fit in the pod, that I know. Never tried a fully armored Spartan, though. Hmmm. [edit] Yep, looks like they do: Not a lot of room for gear, but you can close the hatch. So I guess the right and proper answer is: the scale is way off, but Minimate Spartans will fit in the MegaBloks drop pods.

Ryme Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Lol it just fits in!? :biggrin: Thanks for the picture Cap Thought about the mcfarlance ones..But maybe a lil too big.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufemizm Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I never cared that much about Halo, but then I saw the Red vs Blue two-pack and I was sold! Thanks Roosterteeth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) If any one's TRU is inundated with Series 5, I am looking for multiple packs of the Violet Elites and Prophet/Brute Chieftain. TRU apparently sold out of them, although there are several hundred left of the other 2-packs in this wave, so I am guessing it is an inventory screw-up. PM if you can help.

rx78jj Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Don't know if this has been mentioned, but has anyone seen the Forward Onto Dawn ship play-set? I stumbled across one at my local Toys R Us on Thursday and was immediately drawn to it until I noticed the price tag of over $200.00! It looks cool, but seems really overpriced in my opinion.

Shanester Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I really love the Halo minis. I hope we get more down the road. Vehicles, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I really love the Halo minis. I hope we get more down the road. Vehicles, too. I think the licence has expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yeah, and they didn't renew it just as Halo is becoming a bigger franchise than it ever was before. Much more of a shoe-in than Battle Beasts in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, and they didn't renew it just as Halo is becoming a bigger franchise than it ever was before. Much more of a shoe-in than Battle Beasts in my opinion. That's an odd comparison. Wasn't really an either-or situation. We didn't say, "Battle Beasts is gonna be bigger than Halo." I would have compared it to another video game license or something, like Tomb Raider. Although I don't see how Halo could possibly be a bigger franchise than it was.

groundhog7s Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well, there will be Halo 4 Funko Pop! figures, so i guess it must be big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yes, they don't make Pop figures for just anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have to ask you Zach, does it ever make you guys jealous at DST that Funko is able to get so many licenses for so many genres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have to ask you Zach, does it ever make you guys jealous at DST that Funko is able to get so many licenses for so many genres? Jealous? Not me, personally. Not all of their licenses would support a full Minimates line, or even lend themselves to the style. And we could probably GET most of the licenses they do -- the problem is paying for them! They do have excellent distribution that we don't. We'd have to sell a lot of Minimates to pay for a Wizard of Oz or Michael Jackson license, I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new Sam Raimi "Oz the Great and Powerful" movie can be a cheaper license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) The halo licence has expired but is there a chance to renew it someday?The halo games will continue till the 9th installment.I would go for it again.The forerunners are interesting enough.I'm tracking down all the warthogs and stuff that i missed now and halo is easily one of the best minimate lines. The future are the video game lines in my opinion.If you could get back halo and get the licence for Assassin's creed you would be golden!

Onyx_6 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just an FYI for those looking to pick up any Halo mates at TRU: they are included in the current Halo sale for 25% off. I snagged some extra officers and Red/Blue packs for $5.25 each. My TRU also had the Reach Hog sets for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryme Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Not sure if i broke any rules here, let's hope i didn't. Wished for Halo 4 minimates, so i did some photoshop work just to imagine how it will kinda looks like.

As for halo,we've already got a lot of characters so no harm done. I'll make my own chief and other important characters. To the custom cave!
