It’s time for another edition of our weekly community update thread.
SDCC NEWS
SDCC is coming up. This year, the convention is going to be a virtual event and we have a few things lined up.
First, we’ve announced the limited-edition Master Chief Collection, featuring six micro action figures of the Chief in different versions of his iconic armour. I was going to post it on the gallery, but someone else beat me to it. Check it out below:
The product will be available for purchase on July 23 at 9am PST on the Mattel Creations Instagram account. It’s $20 (US dollars), ships internationally, and there’s a limit of 3 units per order.
Other things to look forward to during SDCC weekend: Our very own toy designer Mia will be giving an inside look at our Halo line on the Comic-Con YouTube channel (July 23, 11am PST), and participating in a panel discussion (July 24, 1pm PST). We’ll also be hosting a Q&A with Kevin on our Instagram page. Check our social channels for updates.
PODCAST INTERVIEW
I had a really good chat with the guys at Builds with Blocks, a podcast dedicated to Mega Construx Halo sets. Some of the topics we covered include the new Halo line, how the different teams collaborate on product development, and distribution (my favourite).
The full interview is over an hour and the episode will be live this Sunday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. We’ll link to it from our social channels.
GALLERY HIGHLIGHTS
Pretty much all of CANiNYC’s projects on the gallery are great, but this week I want to highlight two of them.
This recreation of a scene from Halo CE looks is very cinematic. It’s a perfect freeze-frame capture of an action scene from multiple angles.
Last week, I featured a jacked-up bigger Warthog from Brickman117. Now here’s a cute mini-Warthog from CANiNYC.
I always love it when I see users inspiring each other with creative ideas. That’s exactly what the gallery is for. Here’s a good example of that, with TacticalSponge’s custom turret for the Hornet, followed by HaloODST59’s version.
Finally, I’ve been enjoying this bit of silliness from Cola1. This is part 4, so click on their profile to see the full story. Curious where this is headed.
