Spartan Soldier

With more than 16 points of articulation on these 6 inch figures each will also come equipped with an assault rifle and grenade accessories which can either be hand held or stored on his back or leg.

There will be six different versions of this figure available:

• Spartan Mark VI (red) mass produced
• Spartan EVA (red) mass produced
• Spartan Mark VI (white)specialty
• Spartan Mark VI (blue)Wal-Mart
• Spartan CQB (blue) Wal-Mart
• Spartan CQB (steel)GameStop

When they arrive at the Cairo station Mastar Chief's Mark V armor is heavily damaged and so he replaces it with the slimmer and lighter Mark VI armour.

Available in two different colors the Red version will be the mass produced figure and will be available at all retail stores whereas the White version will be available in a lot less quantities and will only be distributed to speciality stores.

Spartan with CQB Armor

CQB stand for Close Quarters Combat Armour and is a specialized version of the standard Mark VI MJOLNIR Armor. With improved mobility and special functions this armour has been adapted to give the Spartan II Super Soldier improved survivability in close quarter combat fighting.

The BLUE Spartan CQB Halo 3 figure will only be available through Wal-Mart stores and is likely to be in huge demand so you may need to queue early for this one.

Spartan with Eva Armor

This specialized version of the standard Spartan II MJOLNIR Mark VI Armor has been adapted to increase exo-atmospheric endurance and increased mobility in zero gravity.

This is another Red version of the Spartan soldier and like the Red Spartan with the Mark VI MJOLNIR armour will be available at all retail stores and will be mass produced.

Figure Specs

Stands 5 inches tall.

Articulated at neck, shoulders, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and toes.

My advice: Get your hands on an WHITE MJOLNIR and CQB version figure as soon as you can. Particularly the CQB figures.

The others are likely to be available for some time, particularly the RED MJOLNIR and RED EVA Armor which will be mass produced.

In fact the hottest of these is likely to be the BLUE CQB Wal-Mart Exclusive simple because the majority of collectors and fans outside of the USA will be unable to get any!

The others on the other hand are likely to be readily available on the internet at their normal retail price whereas the Blue Version I predict will rocket in price.

It's also probably the coolest and best looking of the lot.
