McFarlane Toys' 2009 Halo Plans

McFarlane Toys is going to give you armies of Halo figures in every scale, but they'll mostly be Spartans.

If you thought McFarlane Toys was already releasing a ton of Halo figures this year, just wait until you see their plans for 2009. It's mind-boggling how much is coming out next year. Let's get started. There will be two waves of new Equipment Edition figures. These will have a figure with an extra piece of equipment; something that is used with the X button in the game, like a bubble shield. The smaller Heroic Collection figures will have a wave of regular Halo figures and two waves of Halo Wars figures. A deluxe Hunter action figure will make its debut and will be in scale with the 5-inch figures at 8-inches tall. The 12-inch figures will see two waves Spartan figures with two released at a time. There will even be a series of Spartan helmets that fit on any of the 12" figures. These helmets will come three in a pack and will have two waves. It looks like that when the two waves of Equipment Edition figures are done, they will be replaced with Medal Edition figures. These seem to have a Medal for some of the achievements from Halo 3. Finally is a Mongoose boxed set that will have an in-scale Mongoose for the 5-inch figures. This is the first full-sized vehicle from and I can only hope that this leads to an in-scale Warthog.

There is just so much (too much) Halo stuff coming out next year. They have not revealed any photos, but rest assured they will be coming. The full list has been copied and pasted below and keep in mind that these are just their plans through May. Who knows what else they'll reveal for the latter months.
