In this life, you're nobody unless you have a ludicrously expensive bust, and Master Chief is far from nobody. One2One Collectibles is working on a new range of 1:2 scale Halo busts, the first of which is everybody's favorite Jesus-allegory superhuman soldier. It will be available from October and it's expected to sell fast.
The polystone busts are very limited indeed, with only 650 being created. The real kicker, of course, is the price tag, with each one costing a princely $224.99. You're going to have to really, really love Master Chief to pony up that kind of dough.
Check out the gallery and let us know what you think. Anybody with deep pockets fancy giving it a go?
New Limited Edition Scale Bust of Master Chief Pre-Ordering Now
One2One Collectibles are proud to announce a new range of 1:2 scale busts from the massive Halo franchise. The first statue to be released will be the Halo Master Chief bust. It will be available from late October and is pre-ordering now on a first come, first served basis.
This Master Chief bust has been sculpted to capture one of the best known icons in the Video Game industry. The 1:2 Scale Bust stands 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide. The statue is beautifully painted and both the visor and the middle of the base are Solid Gold Plate.
Further Halo characters in this range will include a Spartan, Brute Chieftain and ODST Marine busts, which will be available later in Q4 2009. The range coincides with the release of the new Halo video game later this month – Halo 3: ODST.
The busts are cast in high-quality polystone, hand painted to the highest standards. Each piece is packed inside a moulded foam interior, ready for safe shipment, and packaged in a beautiful full-color box with an authenticity card. These busts are strictly limited (650 units).

...and when I say I could "only imagine" that's pretty much the only way I'm getting a woman IN my apartment now! HEYYYYOOOO!
Too bad it costs so much.
Also, $225 isn't that bad. I wouldn't want to pay that much for it, but when you said "ludicrously expensive" I was expecting significantly more. It looks to be pretty high quality. This is much less crazy than the $30 MGS keychains posted a week or so ago.
