This beauty of a statue is coming out on December 6th!!!

The upcoming highly detailed, hand-painted, cold-cast resin statue perfectly recreates the iconic cover art of Halo 4. This powerful scene depicts the Master Chief rising from the wreckage of the Forward Unto Dawn, primed and ready to explore the strange, new, artificial world.

The limited-edition statue stands approximately 12 inches tall (with base) and features all the sculpt and paint details McFarlane Toys is famous for. This statue is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, and includes three interchangeable weapons.

Replicate the cover art with his trusty Assault Rifle; wield an Energy Sword, the mightily close combat blade used by the deadly Elites; or showcase the new Forerunner enemy weaponry that debuted in Halo 4 by giving Master Chief the all-new Boltshot weapon. Each sequentially numbered piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity, hand-signed by McFarlane Toys’ creator Todd McFarlane.

The Master Chief statue will retail at $295 and will be available starting Friday, December 6, 2013, on the McFarlane Toys online store. A limited quantity of statues will also be available in the US through Diamond Comic Distribution and internationally through Star Images, Cosmic Group, PBM Express, and IKON Collectibles.

Hmm, now if only I could afford one of these for myself….Gah, I WANT THIS STATUE!

Just incase you need proof that this is real, I’m an Editorial Contact for McFarlane Toys. I often know this type of news in advance. I am NOT permitted to release it until they say so. This time the news came to me almost as soon as it went up on their site.
