That's right, your dream of Master Chief kicking the crap out of your battle damaged Spider-Man Minimate can finally come true.
In November 2001, Bungie and Microsoft brought the world “Halo: Combat Evolved”. The game became a worldwide sensation and helped rocket the “Xbox” to stardom. Since then, the franchise has continued to gain momentum with “Halo 2”, “Halo 3”, “Halo Wars”, and “Halo 3: ODST” (not to mention the DVD release of “Halo: Legends”). Now, as everyone waits in anticipation for Fall release of the prequel “Halo: Reach”, Diamond Select is proud to announce the inclusion of “Halo” into the Minimates universe!
To help launch the line this Fall, comic book and specialty stores will be offering a 4-pack which will include:
Master Chief
UNSC Marine
Spartan in Scout Armor
Elite in Assault Armor
Future announcements will bring great news concerning other Spartan armor classes from the various games (in your favorite multi-player color schemes), aliens & allies, and vehicles. We’ll also be bringing you news about our plans for a sneak peek/debut at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
Of course we'll keep everyone updated as more info becomes available. | | | Views: 200 | | | Posted on 03-01-2010 at 04:14 AM by Joe Moore under Minimates Toy News. |  Art Asylum has revealed a Crimson Dynamo Minimate. He will be part of Marvel Minimates in wave 36.

Fans all over the world are gearing up for Marvel Studios' next sure-fire blockbuster Iron Man 2 and at Diamond Select Toys we are excited to reveal details surrounding our previously Top Secret Iron Man 2 Minimates! Due in stores this March, two new assortments of Minimates are sure to thrill fans of all ages!
While one particular high-flying armor-clad character will remain hidden until the March release date, we can now reveal the full contents of our upcoming Marvel Minimates Series 35 Assortment and Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display. Rounding out the cast of Series 35 is the high-tech army builder paired with Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan - Hammer Industries' Hammer Drone! Glimpsed only briefly in the Iron Man 2 trailer, not much is known about the Hammer Drones - except that Iron Man and War Machine will apparently square off against an entire squad of them at some point during the film.
The biggest reveal comes in the form of our Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display, a special set of individually boxed Iron Man 2 Minimates limited to only 500 cases. This set was under complete lockdown, however now we can reveal the full contents!
Each display will include 12 individually packaged Iron Man 2 Minimates, including:
Air Assault Drone
Ground Assault Drone
Sea Assault Drone
Tactical Assault Drone
Plus limited short-packs found in every case featuring:
Battle Damaged Hammer Drone
Justin Hammer
Styled after the four branches of the US Military, exact how these high-powered armors will come to exist and what their creation means for Iron Man remains to be seen - but we can't wait to find out! Retailers can still order this limited set as part of their January 2010 Previews orders, so if you want these Iron Man 2 exclusives to become a part of your collection make sure you let them know before it's too late!
