Possbile Halo Tidbits For the Future

In Wednesday's Daily Update over on Spawn.com there were several questions asked answered by moderator Joe F. regarding a variety of topics, however there were a few in reards to their Halo products.

Here's what I keyed in on...

Joe, Ben "Neck Beard" Vance stated you have to wait 90 days to sell exclusive items at the spawn store, so does that mean we could see the elusive WM exclusive Blue Mark VI and CQB spartans in the store down the road? Same with the silver and the highly anticipated Pink Spartan?

We will carry some of the exclusive in our stores. I cannot announce at this time which exclusives they will be. Also, some will only be available at our retail stores and not our online store, due to the some of our contracts with retailers. The exclusives we carry will be very limited quantities and will be announced in our NEWS section and on our message boards!


Any plans on giving us an in-scale warthog or other small to medium sized vehicles for the 5" figures?

Part of the reasoning behind the scale size was so the series would be compatible with a variety of ancillary products including vehicles.


Are plans in place to continue Halo 3 beyond this year?

If all goes well, you’ll be seeing a variety of HALO figs in the future! So keep buying them and we’ll keep making them!


Joe, Will we see multi-packs or "versus" sets for the Halo line? In other words, could we see a Spartan vs Elite 2-pack exclusive to WM or will the line continue with the single figures? Are there any chances for in scale vehicles of any size (warthog, mongoose, ghost, banshee, etc..)

Absolutely! We plan on offering a wide variety of HALO products. The 2-packs and 3-packs are just a small piece of that pie.

Now, what I take out of this is that yes, in-scale vehicles are very much still on the table. Additionally the comments about the multipacks are pretty surprising and make me wonder how far from production they are and what the price point will be. The variety of of ancillary products makes me wonder what else might be possible in addition to in-scale vehicles. Might that mean some weapon pods or diorama fodder?

I don't know, but I'm already looking forward to 2009
