I am not allowed to go to the San Diego Comic Con this or any other year, mainly because my penchanted for buying anything plastic, articulated, and limited edition would send me to the poorhouse faster than...well, faster than my normal lifestyle, which says a lot. SDCC sees tons of limited edition toys every year, and these two from McFarlane Toys would surely get my wallet open, silly concept or not. Sold together, the clear CQB Spartan
is joined by the not-so-clear Spartan Soldier EVA "HellSpartan"...basically Spawn-painted Spartan armor. Considering Spawn has been everything from anime to commando to samurai to refridgerator repairman, this really isn't that far a stretch. Right now it looks like some hobbyist kitbashed the thing together, though I am sure it will look lovely sealed in its little, limited-edition package. I'm going to just start sending McWhertor money now, build up a fund so he can grab me one of everything when he stops by this July.

Wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley.
While a good idea, and a flashy paint job, I had a lot of trouble even recognizing this as Mjiolnir (sp?). Maybe it's the helmet that gives it away for me, but I really just looks like another guy in a suit. Nicely crafted, but generic.
looks like a spartan and a fly both stepped into some morphing machine at the same time
Honestly, I'm not a Halo fan, but Spawn always cool and this does look pretty sweet. Want to grab me one while you're at it? I'll pay you back Monday, I swear :-)
i thing it looks just as silly as that gundam-like armor =/
thats just me though
Way to change things up McFarlane.
I sure wish I looked that fancy.
"HellSpartan", eh?
I can't be the only person thinking of this:
"SPARTANS! Tonight, we dine in hell!"
Im I the only one who thinks it looks stupid?
I must have this.
that looks very tight
Read the title.
Look at the picture.
Then I just cracked up!
@Domobran: YES! LOL.. I dunno :| I think it looks cool :)
I wonder if it can be put on a lit base and have the light refract through the body so the non-painted parts would glow. That and a good artist can make something truly bad-ass! The right head ornament may even simulate a flaming head reckon armor :)
@GREY GECKO: LOVES SUM CAPTIONS: Do you mean the Hayabusa armor? I love that varient. Anyway, I wouldnt mind if they came out with a Gundam version. (I know, I know. I am a anime nerd.)
Kick ass lol
Spawn is awesome, especially as a Spartan.
heh
And here I felt Spawn had already been whored out to death, comes "New Spartan Spawn! With a New Brush!"
Next up: Spawn Disney™ Princess Collection! Collect all 9!
i hope im not the only one who thinks spawn is cool, but this looks ridiculously, flat-out bad.
@Domobran: No. I just don't see "Halo" in it. The clear one looks kinda ok though.
Spawn doesn't use weapons he uses super powers and mind. Master chief cant fly only falls down.
I think it looks badass. Don't have any action figures but I would definately contemplate buying this.
@GREY GECKO: LOVES SUM CAPTIONS: *think
@deathsyth8888: the hayabusa armor is practically a gundam and i dont like it sir O:
...an evangelion varient, now we are talking =D
Looks like Masked Rider to me.
Looks like a weird armored fly-invader. Also, skulls make everything 15% more hardcore, it's a proven fact.
As a side note, why do people like clear figures? No paint, no detail, I just can't figure that part out.
God damn, when i first saw that action figure i thought of spawn
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
IT'S KAMEN RIDER!!!!!!!!! D:
No, it's ULTRAMAN.
At first I thought this was new unlockable armor that you could get in Halo, and I got excited. Now that I see it is a Todd McFarlane action figure, I am sorely disappointed.
Not that it would matter for me anyway. Even if this was unlockable armor, I probably wouldn't be able to get it, considering my Halo 3 disc can't play certain missions.
am i the only one who is noticing that the eyes don't anatomically match wear the eyes are located on the human head?
if someone were to really wear that armor, you'd only have peripheral vision to be able to see anything.
fail.
Reminds me of one of those japanese masked superheros more than a halo spartan.
@shatteredhalo: It's obviously built for a chameleon. Didn't think of that, did ya?
@MushroomBoy1022: This is even worse, but at least it's just fan made: [hawtymcbloggy.com]
Bad ass.
Spawn of the future!
@Erwin: ... touché. haha :P
The gap between the eyes makes it look like a bug helmet to me.. meh :P
Looks kind of silly to me. And ditto on the bug comments.
@ShaggE: You win the thread.
Well, I guess I'll have to get these. I have all the other Spartan variants.
/geekery
WOW, I soooo want this. Why is San Diego so far away from Minnesota? Argh.
