If you love table top games and you love Halo (and you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t), then Spartan Games is bringing you a cool new Halo game to play.

I first learned of this from a post on Facebook by Laird MacLean. Thanks Laird!

Halo Toy Review: Bearbrick Master Chief figure

The Bearbrick line is not something I’m into. However, since they just put out a Master Chief figure, I decided to check out that one. The following is my video review of the fig.

Was it worth it? Well, for a one-off fig coming from China, yeah. It’s not something I would do all the time however. If they made a Cortana Bearbrick, I’d probably get that and stop there.

Do any of you have this figure also? If not, do you plan on getting it? Let me know.
