Halo Mega Bloks Elite Ultra Covenant Drop Pod Review 96928
In the action figure world, repaints are a fact of life. And arctic white repaints, well–that’s one of the most ordinary and easiest repaints of all. But commonplace doesn’t have to be a bad thing, as today’s review will affirm. …

Halo Mega Bloks Flood Drop Pod Elite Combat Form 96929 Review

Daily Toy Review #61: Halo Reach 2012 Series 6 Jun Unhelmeted Action Figure (McFarlane Toys)
I already used up the joke about the unhelmeted figures having other massive improvements in my Unhelmeted Kat review over the weekend, so suffice it to say, Jun is exactly as you remember him–but with a new head. Of all …

Daily Toy Review #57: Halo Reach Series 6 Unhelmeted Kat Action Figure (McFarlane Toys)

Daily Toy Review #50: UNSC Spade vs. Skirmisher Halo Mega Bloks Set
When I first read the announcement of this set’s name, I immediately went to the Halo Wiki to look up what the “Spade” was, certain that Mega Brands had run out of vehicles to make in the line and had …

Daily Toy Review #33: Halo Mega Bloks Cortana Figure Series 4 Hero Pack 2012 Blind Bags
I’m a total sucker for blind bags and an even bigger sucker for Halo-branded merch, so it’s a no-brainer that these Halo Mega Bloks blind-bagged figures would be right up my alley. The Halo Mega Bloks Hero Packs are mystery …

Halo Mega Bloks Covenant Shade Turret 96949 Review
