October 2009 Notable Toys — Video Games

The M274 Mongoose is a representation of the ATV used by the UNSC forces in Halo 3. Also included is a Master Chief figurine. A top speed of approximately 6 mph and receiving at 49 MHz will provide entertaining races with the Warthog. The Mongoose takes six batteries — four for the Mongoose itself and two for the remote control. Launch date: October 2009.

The Warthog R/C car comes with a Master Chief and Blue Spartan figurine. The rear-mounted M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun turret is fully moveable and has a place to position one of the figurines. With a top speed of approximately 7 mph, the Warthog is the fastest R/C vehicle in the Halo collection, ideal for recreating the action from those late night Team Capture the Flag (CTF) matches. It receives signals at 27 MHz and is powered by a total of six AA batteries; four for the Warthog itself and two for the controller. "The Halo 3 R/C Warthog is a faithful representation of the M12 Warthog LRV found in Microsoft's Halo Universe," Anthony Pinkett, account executive at Productivity PR, told TDmonthly. Launch date: September 2009.
