As a clarification, the Halo property is being done by Wicked Cool Toys. The company was purchased by Jazwares in Oct 2019 and they have since folded in some of their social media and marketing under the Jazwares banner. But Wicked Cool Toys retains operations in PA and CA, while Jazwares is based in FL. Indications from the Fortnite design team are that they had not been involved with the Halo figures. What that means for the engineering of the Halo figures remains to be seen. Perhaps there has been some knowledge transfer, or perhaps the Halo figures are completely different from the Fortnite figures in their construction.
As for the Halo toys coming out, relax, they're still on the way as planned. Brand Manager Aaron just posted on Reddit that they're scheduled for retail as of 1 Oct. Stores can start listing them whenever they want, with Gamestop having already listed some of the 6" figures. They will be sold on Amazon too. If you want to make Aaron your new best friend, you can also find him on Instagram, where he gives a shout-out on this line to Jazwares' head of boys marketing and a toy designer (all the above links have photos from ToyFair that you may not have seen). Among those links you posted is this tidbit which will be of interest to us all: Quote:

Product Designer at Wicked Cool Toys 2d Beyond proud to unveil what I have been working on for the last year! It has been an absolute treat working with my colleagues to get these figures on the market. There was no challenge we couldn't overcome! One cool fact about the 4" line- The scale is game-accurate! So in our line, Master Chief is over 4 and a half inches tall, and the Brutes are over 5 inches tall! Talk about a great value! LOTS more great Halo products to come..Stay Tuned! Wave 1 of the Halo Infinite 4" figure line will be in stores 10/1!

This is absolutely great news. So we should start seeing these in stores a week from today? As always...would have thought there would be leaks from people finding them. Probably going to start shipping them to stores about that time.

As a person who has never played a Halo game and was just excited to have figures in space armor, this is disappointing. I was hoping that the armored figures were joe sized. Thats too bad.

It looks like the images posted earlier were hotlinked and LinkedIn shut them down so I am re-posting these for those who missed them:

So why are the different Halo figures different sizes? the humanoids in full suits not all humans? Are some of them half giants?

The "Spartans" are the ones in the full armored suits and they are genetically/medically enhanced ("augmented") super soldiers basically. They are about a head taller than normal humans as a result. Something like that. The pilot and marines should be the same height as each other but Master Chief and any other Spartans should be a bit taller.

God, I am such a nerd. I've never played the game, yet I want some of these figures. Especially the Pilot, Marines, and that Jackal Sniper.
