Figure Photos Starting to Be Revealed Across the Internet

You've waited long enough. Starting today, McFarlane Toys is excited to bring you the first official images of our upcoming Halo®: Reach action figures.  http://www.spawn.com/news/news3.aspx?id=13693

McFarlane Toys has been producing action figures based on the Halo series of video games since 2008, and they have quickly grown to become one of our most popular product lines. What began withHalo 3 has expanded to include the entire Halo universe, including the latest titles such as Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST. But we're just getting started. Now, McFarlane Toys is proud to expand our Halo action figure program with figures and vehicles based on the latest installment in the saga -- Halo: Reach. 

The video game and action figure release date is approaching fast. You've probably caught a partial lineup list or some early photos already. Now, it's time to make it official. Over the next week, we'll be releasing images of several Halo: Reach Series 1 figures with the help of some major media partners. Which photos are going where? Grab your browser and head to:
