The Geohound Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Not to mention actual variations on the spartan and elite armors, not just color schemes. I would kill for a Ranger Elite. But I can't even being to imagine what it would cost to develop all the parts for a hunter. It'd basically have to be sculpted on every single piece. Not that it wouldn't be incredible, just a lot of work and such. And who knows what the hell Halo 4 could have brought us. Oh well, R. I. P. Halo. We lament your early passing. Here's to the future.

Agreed. Halo becomes just like Rocky, DC and LOTR. The Mega Bloks Hunter and Grunt while not incredible, make for a solid substitute in a display/collection.

The Geohound Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have one megabloks Halo thing. It was a blind bagged thing. I didn't buy it, it was some stocking stuff gag thing last christmas. But it was a clear stealth elite, so I kept it. I've looked at a lot of them with consideration, mainly for the accessories, like that bubble shield thing. But it was just never the same. Minimates are my one and only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Zach, any chance you can please try and talk Chuck into 1 last Army Builder Boxset or Dump with the following: - Female UNSC Marine (with extra weapons and parts to make Flood infected Marines) - Covenant Grunt (with laser pistol, Needler, and plasma grenades) - Metallic purple Covenant Elite (with extra weapons and parts to make Flood infected Elites) - Flood Carrier (balloon creature) with Flood infection spores (If you want to make this an Army Dump, just throw in the Miranda Keyes 'mate as the 1-per-case figure!) Seriously, I would buy a minimum of 20 of this pack. It would be a great way to send off the Minimates series with a BANG! instead of a whimper. I have also submitted this to Chuck via the Ask DST form, I really hope he reconsiders as this would be a great way to close out the Halo line. Saw your request, not sure we have time to develop at this point. And knowing the tool would never be used again puts a damper on any significant new tooling. I'm sad, too. On the other hand, purple is my favorite color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) If the grunt was say, a regular sized Minimate head on some alamgam of parts to for a small body, hence making its helmet regular size for minimates, I can see no end to the uses for that thing. Flood parts could be reused to make... I don't know, tree people? They have very branchy pieces. But yeah, it's probably a really hard sell. But then, even I would probably buy a case of those, especially if Miranda was in there. Or a Scorpion. Mmmmm army dump case with vehicle. Charge me $400. I'll buy it.

Ivan Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Since it's rare that I get a new release on the MMDB before in-hand pics are posted here, I'll take the opportunity for a little self-promotion. Spartan Hayabusa (Red) & ODST (Rookie) Arbiter (Ripa 'Moramee) & Prophet of Mercy Shipmaster (Rtas 'Vadam) & Brute War Chieftain Click pics for more turnaround images. EDIT: Oh, a little tip. Don't try to remove the Elite's helmets like I did. My reattaching attempts have been fruitless so far. Edited May 19, 2012 by Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Look at the strange crotch piece on the War Chieftain. Is this the first use or do the other Brutes have this? Edited May 20, 2012 by Jatta Pake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta chameleon Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Look at the strange crotch piece on the War Chieftain. Is this the first use or do the other Brutes have this?

dr baghead Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) The helmet on this is great because but cutting out the visor you’ve got the perfect start to a Ryu Hayabusa (like the name!) custom.

dr baghead Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) That's awesome! What's the rest of the recipe? I see a Warpath torso... -Moded Hayabusa helmet (naturally) with a Disney Store Kang set Cap under it (it was the first stern eyebrowed face I found that’s eyes showed through the cut) -FA Ryu’s gloves -Kid-Pool’s neck scarf -Viewtiful Joe’s hanging Scarf (trimmed and glued to his back) -random black legs -MAX pilot’s (or Gambit’s, Norman Osborn’s, etc, which ever you can spare) shin guards -hand ninja’s sword. -I guess you could glue some kind of knife to is legs or make a more accurate torso decal, but my level of commitment stopped here. obviously the red pieces need a coat of black paint and the crest painted silver. If i'm right it's:kid deadpool scarf,first appereance ryu hands,warpath torso and random black pants with space boots. hot dog! we have a winner!

groundhog7s Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm liking this wave a lot, but it seems like almost all 6 of the new figures have loose parts that fall off constantly or the odd shaped heads and helmets don't sit right. Am I the only one having this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 No, I've had that problem, too, especially with the Arbiters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) if anyone needs the series 4 pm me. I saw them at TRU and scooped them up for someone on the boards here...but they no longer want/need them.

The Geohound Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) NOOOOO!! I finally got box set four today, and opened it and all the figures are amazing, especially Master Chief. His new boots are fantastic, but in taking the accessories out, I come to find little Cortana is broken off her platform thingy. I didn't notice it earlier, because she was stuck in the tape and thus not rattling around. Must email Customer Service.
