First look at upcoming Halo toys including 'Halo 4' version of Master Chief

The 2012 Toy Fair took place this past weekend and McFarlane Toys' next series of Halo figures was there. Along with new lines including Xbox LIVE Avatars and Micro Ops, we get a look at the Halo 4 version of Master Chief.

Starting this August, new lines of Halo toys will arrive in time for the launch of Halo 4 on the Xbox 360. Naturally, there's the Halo 4 line of toys but we will also see new items from the Halo Universe (formerly Anniversary) line along with the Micro Ops line which are miniaturized versions at approximately 1:100 scale. This includes not only figures and vehicles but bases too.

McFarlane Toys is also introducing a new line based on Xbox LIVE Avatar outfits. Halo Avatars ate 2 1/2 inch figures that capture the look and attitude of the LIVE Avatars wearing Halo costumes and accessories. This includes Master Chief, Carter from Halo: Reach, ODST and a flaming ODST helmet.
