McFarlane Toys is bringing Halo fans a second series of unique collectibles: Halo Avatars. First introduced in 2008, avatars are the online representation of a gamer's Xbox LIVE profile. Players can select from thousands of unique bodies, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories to create their own custom character.
Since each avatar represents an individual gamer, players have a strong personal connection to their avatars. From Halo-themed t-shirts, to Spartan helmets, to full suits of character armor, gamers can make their avatars look like true Halo fans, or even characters from the Halo universe.
Mimicking the same customization options available to online avatars, McFarlane Toys' avatar figures feature interchangeable heads, torsos, and legs. Collectors can "mix and match" pieces to create their custom avatar.
In addition to characters and apparel, Halo Avatars also includes various "prop" items such a Warthog & Banshee. Avatar figures are small, stylized, playful, and something a Halo fan of any age would want!
Halo Avatars Series 2 consists of eight 2 1/2" tall figures: Blue EVA Helmet & Legendary Tee, Emile, Anniversary Helmet and Tee, Blue JFO Helmet & Black Noble Team Tee, Brute Costume, Metallic Gold ODST, Banshee, and Red Spartan Mark VI. Each avatar figure comes disassembled and randomly packaged in a small "blind" foil bag.
