'If they want war, we'll give them war!'
TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Today McFarlane Toys along with
Microsoft Game Studios have announced the availability of action figures
for "Halo Wars," the strategy video game based on the legendary "Halo(R)"
universe for the Xbox 360. The figures are expected to hit mass retailers

realistic warfare. Set early in the epic war between the Covenant and UNSC
made famous by the "Halo" first person shooter games, "Halo Wars" allows
players to command the armies of the UNSC during their initial encounters
with the Covenant, including familiar units such as UNSC Marines, Scorpion
Tanks and the iconic Warthog. It provides a fresh perspective on the war
while bringing new heroes to the battle. "Halo Wars" will be available from
Microsoft Game Studios in early 2009.
The figures are 2.5 inches tall and have mobility at the waist. Each
three-pack features "Halo Wars" characters with different poses and colors
with "Halo" weapons. Series One features four unique three-packs:
