Play Arts Halo 2 Anniversary Master Chief!
Just announced today, there will be a Halo 2 Anniversary Play Arts KAI Master Chief figure.
Obviously the one shown in the pic has not yet been painted. Price and Release date not yet mentioned, but you can bet, I’ll post it when I do find it. Likely to be $60-80.
This is to be shown at SDCC 2014, so it may be likely it’s going to be sold there as well.

Fan Made Ragnarok Diorama using Halo Mega Bloks
I came across a thread on a Halo Mega Bloks fan site that showed a Ragnaok diorama.
The following was made by “Scott ‘warmaster’ mckie“. From here, I’m going to let him use his own words as they were in the original thread.
Hi guys, i started this project for bloksfest2014. I never thought it would get to the size or quality that it turned out, its was massively liked at the show and won me first place in the diorama competition and won me a pelican set signed by mega themselves!
The build.
Time: 6 weeks
Weight: 45kg
Length: 5ft
Width: 2ft
Cost: around £100, £200+ inc figs.
So heres the start
I then added paint and details
HFFL: From here he doesn’t give any more text, so I’ll fill it in.
Above a close-up of Chief
A comparison of the diorama pelican scene with the actual scene from the in-game map.
Above shows the detailing of the ground very nicely.
A very cool scene of a warthog being hit and taking damage.
Some added firing effects on the Mantis.
This is a nicely done diorama using realistic element with Mega Bloks as well. Being a diorama builder myself, though it’s been some time, I can certainly appreciate the work and detail that went into this project.
So what do you folks think of this? Did you like the diorama? Do you like the mix of realistic and Mega Bloks? Would you have preferred it to be all realistic or all Mega Bloks?

Halo and Astro Gaming announce new partnership.
Bravo posted this on Waypoint and tweeted about it.
Today we are announcing a new partnership with ASTRO Gaming! I had the pleasure of wearing nearly every iteration of ASTRO products since the very first Limited Edition A40 headset, so it is with great excitement, and with an ASTRO headset on my head, that I bring you this wonderful news. I know I speak for many when I say that I cannot imagine a better or more organic headset partner for our brand. I’m super pumped about the new products that are on the way, and I am quite glad that we’re finally taking our relationship to the next level. Read on for more details!
Skullcandy, Inc. and its division ASTRO Gaming, creators of premium video gaming equipment, announced an exciting new multi-year partnership with Halo developer 343 Industries. As part of the agreement, Skullcandy and ASTRO Gaming will develop several new products including branded headsets, speaker tags and more in support of the latest releases within the Halo universe.
“Few game franchises have ever pushed the boundaries of our imagination quite like Halo. With its robust online multiplayer features, compelling storyline, incredibly detailed gameplay audio and inspiring musical score — Halo delivers at every level,” said Aron Drayer, VP of Marketing, ASTRO Gaming/Skullcandy Gaming.
Details relating to specific Halo headsets and accessories from ASTRO Gaming and Skullcandy will be announced at a later date.
HFFL: Man, now THIS is going to make me get some Astro Gaming gear!
