So,the modelkit producer Revell has announced his new Halo line.
It contain
1/32 Warthog comes with Chief,Kelly,Fred. - 1/35 UNSC scorpion - 1/35 Wraith Has LED .29.90 Euros - 1/100 Pelican with LEDs.39Euros - All information without gurantee as all are currently only prototypes.Except from the scale little is know about them.
I assume they will hit shelves in europe this summer,for the rest of the world,I dont know.
So 343,will you also announce this set someday and give us a little bit more information?

I’m thinking 343 will probably announce them once New York Toy Fair comes around. It’s in less than two weeks, I believe. Pretty sure NTF (as well as London Toy Fair) are more for potential investors and stores that may stock the product, which most likely is why there isn’t much information yet.

Might depend on which mobile suits you put it next to. Probably would fit pretty well with Earth Federation mobile suits, but I can’t see it working with much else. Display space might also be an issue. It’ll be slightly longer (about 5 cm/2.5 in) than an MG Sazabi is tall.

I think it’s because Revell is a European manufacturer/company.
EDIT: Never mind. They have a German branch and US branch. These kits seem to be under their German branch.

Some Revell kits are snap-fit, so they won’t alienate kids from building them. Now that I think about it, I wonder how well the Halo SpruKits (Throne, Chief, Palmer, Locke) will scale with the Warthog, Scorpion, and Wraith.

From what I can tell, the Wraith and Pelican fit in the Level 2 group of Revell Germany’s kits, which means they’ll require paint and glue.
I don’t think the Sprukits will scale very well with the non-Pelican vehicles. Rough estimate puts the Level 2 Sprukits at about 1/16 scale, while the vehicles are at 1/35 and 1/32.
Heres an Update:
They have appeared in the new Cataloge and will drop in June/July
Each model contains figures:
Pelican:Two,most likley pilots
Warthog:three (Confirmed to be Blue team without Linda)
Scorpion:two,most likley Gunner and driver maybe Osiris members,diffrent decal variants possible maybe the Hannibal ones.
Wraith:two,Gunner and driver high chance of being Elites,chances of containing the Arbiter.
No gurantees.

Do you have a link to the catalog (or an image)? Just asking since I want to see it myself.
Unfortunately, nothing about them at New York Toy Fair this year. Maybe they’ll get an announcement from 343 or Revell at San Diego Comic Con…

No,also the cataloge shows nothing new of the model itself,as the Revell catalog always only show the boxart instead the model.
Looking forward to these!
Except one issue:
Why does the Warthog have to be in 1:32 and the scorpion and wraith in 1:35??
It’s not that this difference would allow the Warthog to be much more detailed than the others…
What’s the Point??
Upon further thinking: It’s probably simply to justify the price tag…
