Halo Series 1 Xbox Live Avatar Mini Figures Random 3-Pack $8.99 Like customizing your Xbox Avatar with Halo? Now you can bring those designs to life with these Halo Series 1 Xbox Live Avatar Mini Figures! This randomly picked 3-pack contains 3, individually blind-packaged mini-figures that stand approximately 2 1/2-inches tall. Halo Avatars Series 1 may include the following figures: Master Chief, Carter, ODST, Flaming ODST Helmet and ODST T-Shirt, Green Operator Helmet and Reach T-Shirt, Elite Costume, rare Metallic Gold Master Chief, and very rare Warthog. Each avatar figure will come disassembled and randomly packaged in a small, Halo-themed plastic "blind" capsule. The top and bottom of each cylinder can be removed, and each piece can be used as a display base. The tubes can even be connected, stacking to form a multi-level display. Avatar capsules are packed in a Halo-themed PDQ Box to maximize product space and for easy displaying. First introduced in 2008, avatars are the online representation of a gamer's Xbox Live profile. Players can select from thousands of unique bodies, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories to create their own custom character. Since each avatar represents an individual gamer, players have a strong personal connection to their avatars. From Halo-themed t-shirts, to Spartan helmets, to full suits of character armor, gamers can make their avatars look like true Halo fans, or even characters from the Halo universe. Mimicking the same customization options available to online avatars, McFarlane Toys' avatar figures feature interchangeable heads, torsos, and legs. Halo fans can "mix and match" pieces to create their custom avatar. In addition to characters and apparel, Halo Avatars also includes various "prop" items such a Warthog and Banshee. Avatar figures are small, stylized, playful, and something any fan of any age would want! NOTE: Figure selection is random. Figures are in blind packaging.
