New McFarlane Toys: Halo Reach Wave 6 And More Action Figures Announced On Spawn.com
Update: I found photos on ToyWiz.com, they are not the toys but they do help understand how the figure will look.
"Our best-selling line of Halo: Reach action figures returns for a sixth series in early 2012. Get ready, because we're bringing more Noble Team Spartans, more fearsome Elites, more massive Brutes, and a special emphasis on what keeps the fans coming back to Halo: Reach -- multiplayer action! With single figures, two-packs, three-packs, and accessory packs, this series has something for everyone."
Individual Carded Figures
Jun (unhelmeted) The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Three brings back Jun with his unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes his signature Sniper Rifle and a Frag Grenade.
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Two brings back Kat with her unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes her signature Magnum and a Frag Grenade.
The fearsome Jiralhanae, better known as Brutes, dominate the battlefield with their raw strength and savagery. Only those warriors who have proven themselves in battle may earn the right to wear the distinctive gold armor of the Major class. Figure comes with Spike Rifle and Plasma Grenade.
The Covenant dispatch Elite advance teams to hunt down artifacts of value to their religion. Such teams are small, nimble, and almost always Zealot-class. Our latest Elite figure features the unique armor and maroon color of the Sangheili Zealot. Figure comes with Concussion Rifle and Plasma Grenade.
When the planet Reach was threatened by a Covenant supercarrier, Noble Team initiated the daring Operation: UPPER CUT to take it down. Noble Six and Jorge took the lead, but they couldn't have succeeded without the assistance of the brave Sabre pilots of Echo Team. Our Sabre Pilot figure features the simple blue flightsuit and enclosed helmet of the UNSC Air Force -- essential for the cramped cockpit conditions and proximity to the vacuum of space. Figure comes with DMR.
Spartan HazOp (male) (rust/rust)
Some operations are considered hazardous even for a fully armored Spartan. These ops call for the specialized HazOp armor set. This Spartan features the Hazardous Operations helmet and shoulders, orange "rust" paint, and includes a Focus Rifle and a Plasma Grenade. Exclusive to Toys "R" Us.
Spartan Recon (male) (team red/team red)
Developed in ONI's Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility, the Recon armor was intended to offer stealth capabilities with little or no loss of endurance. This figure comes with matching Recon helmet, shoulders, and chestplate; is painted in bright "team one" red; and includes the intimidating Rocket Launcher weapon and a Frag Grenade. Exclusive to Target.
Spartan JFO (male) (white/white)
The Joint Fires Observer helmet is reserved for Spartans of Lieutenant Colonel rank and above. Figure comes with matching JFO helmet and shoulders, white armor, a Plasma Grenade, and an all-new weapon: the devastating Target Locator. Exclusive to GameStop.
Boxed 2-Packs
Team Objectives Our first-ever Halo Accessory Pack brings the action of Halo: Reach multiplayer to your figure collection! Stage an epic match of Capture the Flag between your Red Team Spartans and Blue Team Spartans with detailed replicas of the highly coveted team flags -- or pit your players against one another in a heated round of Assault with the Capture Plate and Assault Bombs. Want to throw an Elite or two into the mix? We've even included the Covenant version of the Assault Bomb, first introduced in the new map, Breakpoint. The Team Objectives Set includes a team red Spartan Mark V with Assault Rifle, a Red Flag with detachable base, Blue Flag with detachable base, UNSC Assault Bomb, Covenant Assault Bomb, and a Capture Plate.
Headhunter Halo: Reach introduced several new gametypes to Halo multiplayer, including the fast-paced, chaotic mode known as Headhunter. In this free-for-all frenzy, players fight to collect flaming skulls and return them to the moving scoring zone. Whoever has collected the most at the end of the round wins! Our Headhunter 2-pack includes two Spartans and five flaming skulls for them to fight over. Player one is a male Spartan EVA custom with green and yellow armor, equipped with a DMR. Player two is a male Spartan Commando custom with violet and yellow armor, equipped with a Sniper Rifle. The five skulls included in this set all feature a unique sculpt, with flames rising from a different area of each elusive prize.
Boxed 3-Packs
The multiplayer action continues with an expanded pack of figures based on the high-stakes, Spartan vs. Elite mode known as Invasion. On the Boneyard map, the Sangheili invaders team up to infiltrate a UNSC shipbreaking yard and steal a Data Core full of military secrets. The humans get their chance to infiltrate the enemy on the Spire map, which features a team of Spartans infiltrating a heavily guarded Covenant tower. Our Invasion 3-pack includes a red team Spartan Grenadier custom with Grenade Launcher, a blue team Elite General with Plasma Repeater, and both a UNSC
Long Night of Solace The unforgettable Halo: Reach campaign mission "Long Night of Solace" told the tale of Noble Team's courageous operation to infiltrate and destroy an orbiting Covenant supercarrier. For the first time in the Halo game series, Spartans took the fight into space, utilizing Noble Six's training as a pilot of the experimental Sabre spacecraft. Joining Six in the cockpit was his Spartan-II teammate, Jorge. Together, they faced waves of Covenant defenders, in both artificial gravity and low-gravity environments, to plant a bomb aboard their target and hopefully escape to fight the next battle. Our Long Night of Solace 3-pack commemorates this daring raid with a trio of figures from Operation: UPPERCUT. Set includes the unhelmeted version of Jorge with his Machine Gun Turret, the rare gold-armored version of the Elite Ranger, and Noble Six with Magnum and the all-new M-Spec Re-Entry Pack.
Small Vehicle Sets
Generator Defense The unpredictable Firefight mode introduced in Halo 3: ODST returned in Halo: Reach with even more new and exciting gametypes. One such variant was Generator Defense, which features Spartans tasked with the protection of various electric generators threatened by the Covenant's unexpected attack. Our Generator Defense set brings this critical military asset to your figure collection. Keep it safe! Generator features a lockdown shield that can be raised and lowered and a radar dish that spins and pivots. Set also includes a male Spartan JFO custom in sage and steel armor, equipped with a Shotgun to repel any Elites that get too close.
My thoughs on this: I can't wait to see pictures of these guys, especially Jun and Kat. Sounds like we might get some Red Vs Blue stuff

Mega Bloks: Halo 10th Anniversary Collector's Series Toys R Us Exclusive #29769 Anniversary Edition: UNSC Spartan II Silver
Update 1: I posted the photo on Facebook and someone said they all ready has about 2 of these sets, we will update you further in the future for more details, click here to see it
Update 2: Some more sightings have been reported
My Note on this: I have bought previous molds but I would buy this for display and not really for playability. Because its with a magnetic arms, waste, and head (also center body piece) and not pegged on, it falls apart when playing with. I would buy it for the modeling purposes only but it's pretty cool

Mega Bloks Halo The Authentic Collector's Series Limited Edition Cyan Spartan Review
Showing off for Collectors Common and Rare toys to buy including the Steel Spartan, Clear Flame Marine, and the Cyan Spartan; other then its exclusive colour, why is it that people enjoy these Halo Figures so much and want to get their hands on any toy involved with Mega Bloks Halo? Lets find out.
Packaging Front
The Packaging is almost as thin as one card pulled out of a deck of cards. A larger, cardboard box almost like the Mystery Packs. The artwork of the background behind The Exclusive Cyan Spartan with a very nice pose including the 2 Magnum Pistols. A very nice high quality CGI picture for this toy. The top left corner says the logo "Halo: The Authentic Collector's Series" instead of "Halo Wars" seen in previous toys, the advanced new title is for this new wave and continuing. The bottom left corner describe it is a "Limited Edition Spartan" as it is rare in the line. farther down at the bottom shows that their are only 4 parts estimated included with the set.
Packaging Back
The back promotes the Rocket Warthog, Wraith, Arctic Wolverine, Gremlin, The Gausshog VS The Covenant Locust, The Mongoose, and the Brute Chopper
Opening The Packaging: Opening the box or packaging is as easy as taking the tape off, lifting the tab, and pulling your new figure out.
The set includes 1 Camouflage brick in green, brown, and white with the number imprinted on the side, a 2X4 brick used to display your figure. 2 pistols small enough for the figure to hold are also included with the set, a very nice new weapon included with the Cyan Spartan.
The Cyan Spartan finally, when you open it up you are finally excited to receive your very exclusive Cyan Spartan, mainly of course if its your first. The Cyan Spartan is more blue than the picture describes, 12 points of articulation embedded in this very small toy. I personally have about two Cyan Spartans myself, I know only one person with about 3 Spartans in this exclusive colour of Cyan. Sculpted detail are not the only incredible thing but its noticeable paint details mainly on the chest itself, better to notice then in the Dark Green Spartans.
For kids this is fun to play with as they defeat the enemy, The Covenant, to victory. To Collectors, the toy is really something to brag about to you friends and for them to want to buy one themselves on eBay. With the pistols and block to display this figure will shine to your collection so much you will not stop getting these guys.
Fun, Collectible, and well detailed, Mega Bloks has really made a new style to their Series of toys, this could change toys as we know it, get it and you will have the ultimate fighters in your hands, This is Brian Johnson recommending this toy to anyone who wants it, the price might be high but it's worth it, a solid 10/10 with no regrets, Peace out!
