Collector's Note: In July 2009, Mega Bloks gave away 10,000 Spartans during a online promotion. Fans could go to a special website and sign up to get a free STEEL SPARTAN with a black shotgun. Nine thousand nine hundred (9,900) participants would receive a free Steel Spartan with another one hundred receiving an additional ultra rare active camo Spartan. This teal colored spartan was the "Steel" promotional give-a-way Spartan.
In 2010 Mega released a second Steel Spartan as part of a different promotional give-a-way. This spartan was gray with a back wash. (see comparison photo at the end of this article.)
This is the original mold for Spartan II's in Mark IV armor.

This Spartan was issued with the original "oversized" M90 Shotgun v1 in black.

Although both versions of the Steel Spartan II use the same mold, there are several differences in the two figures.

The 2009 Steel Spartan (right) has a teal green color while the 2010 version has a dark gray color.
The 2009 version has gray gloves while the 2010 version has black gloves.
The 2010 version has black paint applications on his boots.
