McFarlane Toys' Yellow ODST Online Exclusive

The ODST made a sneak attack this week when the next exclusive Halo 3 figure pre-order appeared without much fanfare: the yellow ODST. I didn't know about it until I received the Wizard Universe newsletter telling me to pre-order the thing. I'm surprised Spawn.com didn't have any update regarding the figure. The yellow ODST figure is an online exclusive, so it's only available at places such as Entertainment Earth, Toy Rocket, Wizard Universe, and the like. From what I've read there will only be a total of 3,000 and some of the pre-orders are already listed as sold out. For some reason Wizard Universe the figure is $19.99, while it's $14.99 or less everywhere else. I guess Wizard needs that extra $5 for being Wizard. I love me some ODST, but yellow armor? From the lone picture of the figure to armor looks closer to tan than yellow, but this is most likely a prototype photo. The Yellow ODST is expected to ship in October.
