Toy company Mega Bloks is prepping for the second annual Halo Toymation Fest, a competition in which fans of Microsoft Studio’s “Halo” video game series create their own Mega Bloks Halo toymations (stop-motion animations made with toys).

“Last year, fans really proved their dedication to the Halo brand and allowed us to see the love for our Mega Bloks products shine through the creativity of their amazing productions,” says Andrew Sparkes, vice president of kids and collectors, Mega Brands. “We can’t wait to see what they will come up with next.”

The official 2012 Mega Bloks Halo Toymation website is now live, with early submissions accepted beginning Sept. 1. The last day for entries is Oct. 25.
