Halo 3 Equipment Edition Wave 2

Spawn.com posted photos of the second wave of Halo 3 Equipment Edition figures hitting store in March 2009. What makes this wave exciting is that a brand new figure, the Marine, makes his debut. The Marine is the first new figure amongst the limitless repaints in quite some time. The silver Elite Assault figure has brand new armor, so he's kind of like a brand new figure, too. To help mix up the spectrum of Spartan colors, one of the Spartan Scouts now comes in yellow. They've had gold and pale before, but yellow is a new color for the Spartan army. Of course, there are five inevitable exclusives with Wal-Mart, Toys 'R' Us, and Transworld getting theirs, along with Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth each seeing their second exclusive. Unfortunately, this wave doesn't have as many Elites as I was hoping for and eight of the twelve figures are still Spartan repaints. They have to run out of Spartan and color combinations at some point, right? Check out the photos and head to Spawn.com for more spectacular poses.

"Yay, I'm a new figure... wait, are you wearing lipstick?" NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.	"It's mandible armor... you know MAN-dible. It's just a different color for... manliness."

Introducing a new color that's not a shade of yellow; It's just yellow. NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.	If Storm Shadow was in the Halo-verse he would be a white Hayabusa repaint.

"So what can brown do to you? Here's a hint: see these plasma rifles?"	"Crap. Where did I put that Bubble Shield?" NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.

"Um, what are you doing?"	"I'm posing fabulously. Leave me be"

"Hey, Red. I got something for your face." NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.	"Gah! You win this round, Blue." NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.

"This weapon makes any colored Spartan look like a bad-ass."	"Hi, it's me again, Master Chief. I'm different this time, really. See I have a gravity lift." NO LONGER IN THIS WAVE.
