{Avi's note: I've been holding onto this info for awhile now and have been seeking confirmation, but it seems like it's time to let the cat out of the bag. People have been asking about this for a couple months now and most of their questions should now be answered. I've contacted McFarlane Toys in the meantime for additional confirmation on whether this is 100% legitimate and I will update you once I get an answer. Check out the release and the storefront, as well as the distribution rules. Hopefully we'll have all our questions answered very shortly.}
Avi's Update: Joe F. from Spawn.com confirmed the info, so bookmark thier site and keep your eyes open around this time next month through the first week of May for the figure to go live. Private Donut, FTW!
D&R Lineups Halo Exclusive Press Release (click here to go to their page)
McFarlane Toys and Microsoft have teamed up to produce action figures based on the popular videogame trilogy Halo. McFarlane Toys and D&R Lineups have teamed up and are proud to present the Lightish Red Pink* Mark VI Spartan Soldier. Available exclusively from D&R Lineups!
* - Color is up for debate. It is most likely BOTH but may vary depending on the medium.
Product Description
It is the 26th century humanity, led by the United Nations Space Command, is at war with a collection of alien races known as the Covenant. Spartans are the cybernetically enhanced supersoldiers that lead the defence of humanity and are our final hope. Conscripted at the age of fourteen the spartans underwent a series of dramatic augmentations making their bones almost unbreakable, boosting thier vision, reaction time, and strength well beyond that of a normal human.
Spartans utilize numerous weapons and equipment, but their most distinctive feature is their armor. The MJOLNIR Mark VI is the latest in the Powered Assault Armor of the United Nations Space Command. It is built out of dense but light materials, coated with energy absorbing materials, and has an energy shielding system. Thanks to an onboard supply of biofoam it can even heal moderate wounds. The MJOLNIR is an adaptable suit of armor, with many variations and modifications possible to it, optimizing it for certain functions.
