Halo Product Review: Metal Earth Master Chief Helmet

When I went to New York Toy Fair this year, I had the pleasure to meet not only the designer, but the owners of Fascinations as well. While taking with both of them about their Halo line, we discussed possible new models to come. During this conversation, the designer was kind enough to offer me one each of their Halo models to review on the blog. This is the first of 4 planned reviews for Fascinations line of Halo Metal Earth models.

Now before I get started, I need to say that this is the first time I’ve worked with laser cut models at this scale. I chose the Master Chief Helmet set to start with since I thought it might be the easiest one.

I learned very quickly that this is the kind of model you MUST take your time with. As such you can see below that it took me 3 1/2 hours to build.

Technical Specifications:
Build Time: 3 1/2 hours
Special Features: N/A
Cost: $13-15 retail
