I know it’s a pretty much a moot point by now, but to finish off the mystery of the Toy Fair, I got a reply to an email I sent to one of Re:creations reps.

Thank you for your interest in our products. We are launching a range of HALO die cast collectables to coincide with Halo 4. Please note that we did not show actual product prototypes or figures at Toy Fair. We did display some early cardboard mock-ups. We will be communicating more comprehensively on the range later in the year once the exact content is confirmed. The only information that I can share currently with you regarding the range is as follows:

The collectables include true and detailed scale versions of the vehicles and characters, retelling parts of the Halo 4 story. The HALO set will feature a number of ground and flying vehicles including the ever popular Warthog with prices ranging from srp £12.99 to srp £34.99. Each vehicle comes with two posable figures. The range will also feature a unique large scale collectors Warthog vehicle at srp £59.99.The HALO range of die cast collectables will be available in stores from Autumn 2012.

Kind regards

Mary

Cardboard mockups?

Yup.

Also, in their defense, they had many, many other things at their booth. They cardboard mock-ups were just a kind of “Coming soon…” thing.
Also, I do believe these are the same figures that’ll be manufactured by Jada. Re:creation holds the licensing, and they should both be named on the box. Jada is doing the actual manufacturing and distributing.
