Dear SIDESHOW Collectibles,

I love what you guys do. You make some of the prettiest most expensive toys in the world and they are wonderful things to behold….but

Do you think you could have chosen a better pose for Master Chief? 

Don’t get me wrong, the new Premium Format Figure looks fucking great, but I think we’ve been down this road before. Master Chief majestically posed on a pile of rocks, or rubble, or broken ship parts or whatever. The majestic pose is done, its played out and its time for something more interesting. 

I love that you gave him a ton of weapons also but the pose is sooo tired. Its so boring and I, as a HALO fan, am just kinda tired of it. I want something dynamic! I want something fun! I want to see Master Chief with a Brutes face stuck to the end of his fist as he lunges into battle! 

Do you think maybe next time you could try a little harder? I say next time, cause the HALO franchise obviously isn’t going away anytime soon, and I must imagine that you will go down this road again if you’ve gone to the trouble of procuring the license from MS and 343. 

Thanks again for trying, I do appreciate it, but for myself and all the other fans of the HALO mythos, please try harder next time.

So 343 and Microsoft beat me to the punch on this one, even if it is much smaller than I had planned on making them. 

HALO AVATAR mini figures showed up at my TARGET today and I gotta say they are pretty nifty! 

I ended up getting the flaming helmet avatar figure which is pretty cool. Its about 2 inches tall and comes in 4 parts; torso, legs, helmet head and firey helmet attachment.

$3 gets you 1 of 8 blind packed figures and they are for the most part pretty neat. Hell if nothing else the heads are in scale with Marvel Universe and JLU figures so I can do a little head swapping and give Deadpool that Halo ODST helmet he always wanted :D 

*****Hey guys, if you find these in your area, please do me a favor and reply to this post or pm me with what you got and what the code is on the white verticle stripe on the packaging. I’m trying to see if there is a cypher to figure out whats inside and if the code on the package somehow calls it out.

Just so you know, the code on the large white stripe on both figures I got (which are the same) was 070512KP. Not sure if this is a tell or not but I am heading back to the store tomorrow to look and see. If anyone knows any info please share so we can figure out whats in the blind packs and not waste our collective money and end up with an army of burning helmets avatars or whatever :D
