Mattel Brick Shop Halo UNSC M12 Warthog Brick Set Revealed!

The Mattel Brick Shop lineup is expanding soon with the introduction of the Halo UNSC M12 Warthog!

If there was one thing us fans wanted to see from Mattel Brick Shop, it would be Halo themed brick sets – our prayers have been answered. During San Diego Comic Con, the toy giant unveiled their latest theme and the first set from it, the UNSC M12 Warthog. Fans of the iconic video game will know the vehicle well, but those that don’t, the UNSC M12 Force Application Vehicle (FAV), affectionately nicknamed the “Warthog”, is the most ubiquitous light ground vehicle in the Halo franchise. Manufactured by AMG Transport Dynamics, it serves as the military’s primary reconnaissance and mechanized infantry support unit.

The Halo franchise is a military science-fiction video game series. The story follows Master Chief John-117, an augmented supersoldier, and his AI companion, Cortana. They fight to protect humanity from the Covenant – a hostile alliance of alien races driven by religious fanaticism to fire “Halo” rings, which are massive, galaxy-destroying superweapons.

The Mattel Brick Shop set looks absolutely stunning and one fans have been eagerly waiting for. There isn’t much information surrounding it yet but from the photos (below) we can see it looks Minifigure-scale, has detachable mounted guns, steering and so many more play features. We honestly can’t wait to get our hands on a copy to buod, review and play with. Once more details drop, including availability and price, we’ll update this page. Please check out the images below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

*Update: Official Mattel Brick Shop webpage is now online here. Pre-order coming soon, watch this space.
