McFarlane hints at a few more HALO surprises in 2010 stating that they are "guaranteed to 'drive' up your excitement". This sounds like it could be the oft-rumored Warthog vehicle fans have been anticipating. Or a Covenant Ghost. Time will tell!

I like that they're starting to branch out into these other games (I mean, I guess they kind of have to eventually but still), they look great. That suppressed Magnum is nice lookin. Kind of makes me regret not tearing into this line more, but space restrictions (Gears and 3A are filling up my house!). Might have to start grabbing a few of these though.

Still trying to find the ODST with the right color scheme.

they look good sculpt-wise, but I gotta say it looks like they're taking a major step back in the articulation department. Those hips aren't going to give you the same range of motion that you used to have, and believe me I know because they used it on the new mongoose driver sets and it sucks. Not only that, but why all of the sudden are there pins showing on the joints? They've always been hidden before, what's changed? Shouldn't they look better over time and not MORE like toys? Don't get me wrong, I'll still get Forge and Dare and any of the ODST characters they make, I'm just wondering why they decided to go backwards in the design stage. Wave 4(?) Johnson doesn't have any of these issues and he's a fantastic figure with excellent poseability. Why not repeat the formula?
