What You Need To Know About Halo Action Figures
Halo is a first-person action game franchise developed by Bungie Studios for the Microsoft XBOX console. Since the release of the very first video game in the series, Halo’s popularity has exploded. Why? Quite simply, Halo and Halo figures are popular because each entry in the series has been amongst the best shooters ever developed.
Halo’s single-player campaign revolves around the scientifically augmented super soldier known as Master Chief. Another main character is the alien Elite known as the Arbiter, who is an outcast from an aggressive alien alliance. The Master Chief is assisted by an artificial intelligence named Cortana, who is represented through a female avatar, and human military forces.
The Master Chief battles against two different types of alien forces. One is an alliance of different aliens called the Covenant, who are led on an apocalyptic religious mission to cleanse the galaxy. The second major alien force is called the Flood. The Flood is composed of trillions of tiny parasitic lifeforms and insects controlled by a single collective intelligence, which is named Gravemind. These parasites infect host lifeforms (like humans and the Covenant) and transform them into an army of zombies.
Each player and fan of Halo tends to spend a lot of time playing the compelling science fiction plot of the singleplayer campaign, but also spends a lot of time on the highly competitive multiplayer game. Halo’s multiplayer has a culture all it’s own, revolving around the perfection of ones skills and the defeat of online opponents on XBOX-Live. Thus, the players not only become familiar with and attached to the characters and vehicles in Halo, but there are also a significant number of them who like the game enough to purchase memorabilia from it.
Action figures from every blockbuster science fiction movie and video game have been purchased and collected by adult and child fans, especially those that fall into the “gamer” crowd. Particularly popular are the multiple iterations of Master Chief and the variants on his Spartan Armor that can be worn by multiplayer participants.
Cortana, the curvy female artificial intelligence, is palm-sized in the game, so she makes for a great figure. The Arbiter, as another character playable in both single-player and multiplayer, is also very popular amongst the younger crowd. As Halo figures go, though, the die-cast and plastic versions of in-game vehicles are also a very cool gift for a fan of Halo.
