and.....







They are way to big for Joes I'm afraid, I mean it's not even close. The Warthog is huge, and pure 100% WIN. The Ghost is nice and big, and even fits the girthy Grunt's.
The Warthog has spinning wheels, somewhat of a suspension, 360 degree turret, with an elevating Gun and Gun mount.
Ghost has moving speed flaps, control sticks and front elevating guns.

All in all, these are win, I'm sure these could be modded to fit goes, but it would take some work.

Prices are as follows:

Hog = 29.99
Ghost = 19.99

Ghost is almost twice the size of the Mongoose, so It's a deal since the Mongoose was $19.99
I promise as soon as I get Home and have a internet connection i will post some pictures for you guys. I think these two items are a must buy. Even if you Only collect Joes, these look just awesome!

I saw the Ghost last week at Target. It looks nice and I'd normally have jumped on it. It's on my "get it if it gets marked down" list. The Warthog is more of a "if I have the money when I see it I'll grab it" ist.

The Ghost is the purple thing right? If so I saw a few of these at Target this past weekend but I had very little interest in it. No sign of the Warthog though. Would have loved to see it and try to figure out how easy it would be to modify it for 4" figures.

Saw a few at Target today. I had two preordered through BBTS, but looking at it up close, I think I only want one. Next time I see one when I have the cash I'll pick it up if my preorder hasn't filled.

Going to have to save up some $$ for that Warthog. I wouldn't expect it to be Joe compatible. Thanks for the info!

Hog already!? Awesome. It wasn't supposed to come out until October. I've been looking for the Ghost for about a week now, but haven't found it. Looks like I'm going to Target at lunch today

Here's some pics from JoeDios, compared to a 25th VAMP:

The Hog is [LASER BLAST] truely a sweet ride.

I disagree with the Joe compatibility however. I am going by some of the HALO art that`s out there of Marines/ODST crewing the Hog





Now with Joes





Next to the Hasbro Humvee


Next to the BBI M1 Abrams MBT


Gun Turret can become stand alone turret



First CUSTOM idea is the troop carrier



It`s gonna come down to personal choice but for me I LIKE it with the Joe figures and will carry on with Joe custom UNSC figures.

For a fantasy world (which is what it's meant to be), it works. Big and bulky works fine. But as the pic next to the tank shows, it's a little big for those who are more planted on scale and having it fit into their G.I.Joe universe. I personally will just leave it as a Halo vehicle displayed with the Halo figures. I've got a decent built up collection along with both of the guns that had come out with so I'm set for a stand alone display.

Saw the Ghost last week - and it was WAY too big. I have one of those 1:20 or whatever scaled Halo 2 Ghosts (that came with a 2" Brute) and it fits Joes perfectly. Too small for Halo figs (except maybe some Grunts), but I like it better for my purposes.

The Warthog, however, is a must-get. Sure, it's a little over-scaled, but that's ok. I'm using it for Arby & the Chief, anyway, so it doesn't matter. My only problem is that I'll have to re-locate my Halo battle dio to another, exceptionally larger, shelf. And what I have now is pretty big - because I've got a whole mess of Elites, Brutes, Grunts, Hunters, Jackals, & UNSC guys anyway -- but the Warthog will dwarf the crap out of those guys, so the display needs to find a new home.

Time to go check Target...

The Hog is way bigger than I thought it would be. That explains why it's $30 and no figure. (The Mongoose was $20 but came with a rider.)

I hope they make the missile version, too.

@J_Man, Yea I was surprised how big when I stuck it next to the BBI M1 tank. However I still think it rocks for my 1/18th HALO universe due to
A, The size (look at the Willy`s Jeep next to a HMMWV so why not similar for the future?).
B, When you read the novels (Harvest comes to mind) Sgt Avery makes a case in point how much of a biatch they are to climb in first thing in the early AM.
C, As stated looks similar to the art I`m going off too.

I truely do think it will be a personal case for everyone one but as I was going to go with this for my Warthog


The clear shell is for a RC and I kinda figured that would work but I`m sold on the McFarlane hog now.

As for other versions, missile one would be great and also the Troop carrier version.

Added pics.

Got mine today -and yeah, it's HUGE. Too big for Joes, but pretty sweet for my Mk IV's and Master Chief to tool around in.

What really disappointed me was the Jorge figure I got -- sure, he's supposed to be a big guy, but he's friggin' stupid big. He's supposed to be 7'4" according to his bio. Master Chief is 7'2" -- so I ask you, does this look right to you?




He won't even fit in the flippin' Warthog, so he's useless all around. Nice sculpt, wrong scale. Guess I'll be doing the Transformer mod to him and make him a Joe-sized Devastator or something.....

Not impressed with any of the Reach figures, to be honest. I may get a HAZOP dude to customize to match my Noble 6 character, but that's about it. Still, considering I've been waiting nearly 9 years for this, I'm happy enough with it.


But the Warthog gets a 3 out of 5 from me. Losing a point for being so friggin' big, and another for not having wheels that turn.

I'm wondering, since the gun pops in and out so easily (too easily), if we'll get Gauss cannon and Missile launcher add-ons as separate pieces? Pack-ins with Marine figures perhaps?

_________________

Wait, the wheels don't turn? How moronic is that? I was jazzed for this, but now I'm not sure it's worth $30 if the wheels can't even move.
