Available this month, this Halo 2 Anniversary Master Chief comes in at $90. That’s too expensive for me. However, I will say that it looks fantastic in person. It’s quite large too.Play Arts Halo 2 Anniversary MCPlay Arts Halo 2 Anniversary MC2Play Arts Halo 2 Anniversary MC3Apologies that the pics above are nearly the same angle. I had taken two other shots from different angle, but they were blurry, so I couldn’t use them.

My mug with the helmet for size reference. This thing is huge!

It does come in 4 sizes. Here are the item numbers by size:

42192 – Small (55-56cm)
42193 – Medium (57-58cm)
42194 – Large (59-60cm)
42195 – X Large (61-62cm)

Man, I would LOVE to have one of these. I’ve already read that one collector wants to buy a motorcycle just so he can wear this helmet. That’s a bit cray cray, but as a collector myself, I completely understand, LOL.

  1. Wow, those figures look NICE! But, also out of my price range lol.
