#Halo master chief toy license

I have such strong feelings about the 1000toys Hellboy that I felt it was worth a shot. Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping. When the company announced a second Master Chief, this one based on 2021’s Halo Infinite, I decided to roll the dice again. The figure’s wrist pegs weren’t big enough to secure its hands, leaving collectors with a $125 paperweight. In mid-2020, 1000toys released its first Master Chief, a flawed, stylized figure based on the original game, 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved. Still, with a Spartan 117-sized hole to fill, there remained a market for high-end Halo figures.

While I think Joyride produced the best Master Chief, McFarlane was the best license holder from top-to-bottom. In my humble opinion, Joyride’s Halo 2 Master Chief was one of the best, if not the best Master Chief figure until this month.Īfter Joyride Studios went kaput, McFarlane (in a rare foray into articulated figures), Mattel, and Jazwares held the license with varying degrees of success. Joyride held the license for three years, producing Master Chief, Cortana, multiplayer Spartans, the Covenant, the Flood, human marines, and vehicles. The figures were unusually good for their time, with detailed sculpts and decent articulation.

The late, great Joyride Studios brought us the first Halo action figures way back in 2003. For whatever reason, Halo has never fallen prey to that mindset. For those of us who are both action figure collectors and gamers, this is a painful reality. Presumably, gamers would rather spend their disposable income on games than toys. Most blockbuster video games don’t receive toys or action figure merchandise.
