Halo Megabloks Metallic Series ODST Drop Pod and Minifigure

I had no idea that Megabloks were releasing more of the drop pods, but this time with the new super poseable minifigures. I have the metallic blue ODST from the last series so I went for the gold instead. Also available are 2 metallic Elites - one in purple and one in blue - I'm hoping I'll be able to grab those soon.

On opening up the dirty gold drop pod, which itself is nicely detailed, you get the display stand, backpack, SMG weapon and , of course, the figure itself.

My only issue with these toys are the price. Considering it's just one minifig that you get I feel as though you're really just paying for the pod itself.

Anyway, let's have a look at this guy:

I like the colour of him even though he's not exactly gold, he's more of a burnt copper, it is a cool look though. And I really do love these new super poseable figures.

From the back he looks good too, I especially like the backpack.

Overall, I'm happy to have this guy added to my metallic ODST team (I've called my team "Raptor Squad" on account of the teeth painted on their helmets) and depending on how I feel, I might just go ahead and pick up the blue ODST too. I'll be sure to post those Elites if I manage to get my paws on them!

Go Figure!

Halo Mega Bloks Series 4 Blind Bag

I thought I'd go look on eBay and have a little look for blind bag Halo Mega Blok packs to bolster my collection. I'd never picked up any of the earlier series of these blind bags so when I saw I could get 3 bags for £10, I thought that was quite a good deal. And this series had some nice figures including:

Cortana
Purple UNSC EVA Spartan
Yellow UNSC ODST
Arctic UNSC Pilot
Blue Covenant Elite
Copper Covenant Brute
Green UNSC Marine
Crimson Elite Pilot

Any 3 of these would be great to add to my tiny army. Firstly out the bag

The green UNSC marine. Good start, a cool looking character. Second up

Oh. OK, bit of a pain. But onto number 3!

Goddammit.

I guess I'm in the army building game now... Go Figure!

Weekend Blind Bag Finds!

Firstly, only 2 of these 3 are blind bags. So I kind of lied. Forgive me. Or not, whatever.

I've quite a few of those Character Building Monster vs Zombies mini figures, but I love a mini figure, horror, and a blind bag, so how could I refuse?! I got the swamp monster, who I think I already have (I packed my others away a while ago), but I'm digging the display box.

The Transformer I got was the Autobot Jetwash. Here he is in plane mode... which looks a bit crap really.

And here he is standing. Much better!

But I'm totally loving this little Halo ODST metallic figure! So cool!

I love the look of the little figure and the fact it comes in a colour co-ordinated drop pod is superb!! A nice few finds I made in Tesco all for under a tenner. If I'd known how nice those little Halo figures were I would have just got a couple of those! Go Figure!
