Halo 4 Pop! Vinyl Figures by Funko

The Blot has a confession…I’ve never played Halo. Yes it’s true…not the original or any of its sequels. But in honor of gamers everywhere who were camping out last night for today’s release of Halo 4, I’m excited to share with you Funko’s new line of Halo 4 Pop! vinyl figures! Evidently Halo 4 is the first installment in a new trilogy of Halo series games entitled the Reclaimer Trilogy! I have no idea what that means but Halo fans seem to be really excited.

Funko’s new line of Halo 4 Pop! vinyl figures includes Master Chief, Cortana, Spartan Warrior Blue and Spartan Warrior Red. Each figure features one point of articulation, stands 3.75” tall, and comes packaged in a full color displayable window box. All four figures are currently available for purchase from Entertainment Earth for $9.99 each (or the Red and Blue Spartan Warriors as a set for $19.99) here.

The World of POP! Vinyl Figures Volume 1 by Funko

Funko’s Pop! series is without a doubt the most diverse toy line in history, combining more licensed properties than I can even list here. Seriously, the line features super heroes, movie actors, musicians, Disney characters and everything in between! To commemorate this successful line of cute vinyl figures, Funko is releasing a hardcover book documenting all of their releases to date entitled “World of Pop! Volume 1”.

This artistic high-end coffee table book is a full color guide of each and every Funko Pop! released so far, including The Avengers, Elvis, Mickey Mouse, and LeBron James, with amazing photographs of Pop! vinyl figures in various settings and backgrounds. This amazing collection makes a great gift for fans of Funko and its popular line of Pop! vinyl figures. Funko’s World of Pop! Volume 1 hardcover hits books stores everywhere this September, but you can preorder this pretty lengthy book at Entertainment Earth for just $29.99 here.

Halo Pop! Series 1 Vinyl Figures by Funko

Funko’s Pop! toy line has now official expanded into video games with the release of its new Halo Universe vinyl figures. The classic story of human supersoldier vs. theocratic military alien species can now be reenacted with these figures based on the hit video game Halo. Wave 1 includes Master Chief and Grunt as 3.75” stylized vinyl figures. This might just be the one corner of the pop culture landscape The Blot knows nothing about. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never played Halo and really only know Master Chief by his now iconic green helmet. But aren’t all the Halo characters basically Stormtroopers, all wearing the same armor in different colors? Or am I missing something?

Each Pop! Halo Universe Series 1 vinyl figure stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. These figures are expected to become available on December 1st, 2011 and will retail for around $9.99 each.
