When 1000toys took over the RE:EDIT brand from Sen-Ti-Nel, they made the right decision to move away from Iron Man figures to focus on other properties that would warrant the same premium collectible figure treatment. And they did with their first two offerings from the Halo franchise. I even have both figures up in the CATALOGUE for your consumption. That said, it’s been a couple of years since the last Halo figure, and I’ve thought we’re not getting more.
Turns out I’m completely wrong as 1000toys is moving forward to expand the lineup to include characters from the game Halo: Reach. And we’re not just talking like a single character like Master Chief, we are getting the whole NOBLE Team starting with the playable character Spartan-B312, also known as “Noble Six.”
Noble Six uses the MJOLNIR Mark V[B] powered assault armor as default equipment, which is the initial production model of the Mark V, just like the one Master Chief uses in Halo: Combat Evolved (#5004 / RE:EDIT / MJOLNIR Mark V “Master Chief”). Unlike the definitive version Master Chief uses, this variant is more rugged and has a lot more sculpted surface detail.
Like the previous releases, the external armor pieces are made from durable ABS plastic while the internal mechanisms are made from die cast to maximize articulation while still maintaining structural integrity and stability. My only nitpick, and I hope they would address this, are those tiny wrist ball joints that, while don’t appear to be breaking any time soon, are too small to keep the hand parts attached. Especially with the accessories that come with Noble Six.
For accessories, it depends on the version of the figure you’re getting. The regular retail version only comes with the MA37 Assault Rifle but if you get the exclusive edition, the set will also include the M41 Rocket Launcher that you can also mount on the back of the figure.
Besides the rocket launcher, the exclusive edition will also have a chrome plated visor piece. I believe the regular version will have metallic paint on the inside of the translucent plastic visor piece.
Lastly, I mentioned earlier that this will be a complete lineup as 1000toys will be releasing the whole Noble Team in this line. Along Spartan-B312 to be released in 2024 are Carter-A259 (Noble One), and Jun-A266 (Noble Three). Going into 2025 are Emile-A239 (Noble Four), Kat-B320 (Noble Two), and lastly Jorge-052 (Noble Five). All six figures should be priced around the same amount as Noble Six so if you plan to get the complete team, then start saving up now.
