McFarlane Toys is offering an exclusive figure for their soon to-be-released line of action figures based on the Halo video game series. The Halo Active Camouflage Spartan figure is only available online at this link through December 12th, so if you're interested in this figure, you can't hesitate on this too long. The price is $12.99 before shipping charges.

While Halo action figures are a new property for McFarlane Toys, they're certainly not new to the action figure market. Other toy companies like Joyride, Gentle Giant, and Kotobukiya have all tackled Master Chief and other characters in the Halo universe. Despite all the competition among different manufacturers, Halo action figures have had a well-established history of holding their value and increasing in value in a relatively short period of time.

The Halo video games have made a cultural impact on the order of the Mario Brothers and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and now that McFarlane is on board the licensing train, it goes to show that many, many people truly believe in this property. Though a Halo movie was recently nixed, it could re-appear before long.
