Reader Max wrote in to let us know that Microsoft's Russian arm has been sending out "some very peculiar gifts to its partners" this holiday, specifically a chocolate Master Chief wrapped in pretty gold foil. As you can see, MC is surrounded by garland, chestnuts and Xbox 360 logos, carrying a sack filled with presents for the good girls and boys of Mother Russia. Maybe an odd choice, but I'm willing to bet that Halo 3 wins the Russsian Spike TV Video Game Award for "Most Addictive Game Fueled by Milk Chocolate." Further size comparison pics of the delicious treat are after the jump.
Spaceba, Max! Break me off a piece, wouldja?
Mini-Bash dropped his Totoro in a drain during the holidays. How many people helped fish it out? Fish, ha! GEDDIT?

Wow. That is freakin' huge.
That's like a pound of chocolate.
Since I know somebody will ask, the article in the background.

That's uhhh... Um... Wow. Tasty!
I don't think I'd want Santa Chief blasting down my chimney.
Seriously that thing is huge. Imagine saying that's Russian money. Bad joke. I can't think i need candy... *drool*
Reminds me of those gold foil wrapped chocolate coins called "gelt?" the Jewish children get around hanukkah.
Cept its like 100 times larger. :o
I'm just going to tell you guys straight up that Russians KNOW how to make CHOCOLATE. Don't doubt them... the whole chocolate candy form thing is a sort of tradition that Russians like to do.
That's one hell of a large chocolate coin.
I'd keep the casing so I could make my own later on.
Mmmm I think I like Halo 3 now.
@MCWHERTOR:
Spasibo is a better option, but I appreciate you trying ;)
"Milk chocolate" you say??? Oh, so cruel. Making my mouth water like this... Halo would instantly go on my top 10 favorite video game series if Microsoft were to send me one of these chocolate coins.
@DigiMish: I learned my Russian from comic books and t-shirts, sadly. :)
Hmmm, I've eaten a solid chocolate rabbit in one sitting before. It was about a half pound of chocolate. I did it just to gross out my wife.
However, I think this coin would do me in. It would be like "Cool Hand Luke" with the eggs. I'd be lying flat on my back, melted chocolate covering my face, and my stomache expanded to twice its size.
Chocolatey goodness that should never be opened.
Nice poke at Spike TV.
That is a very large chocolate. Why do people outside the U.S. always get the best swag? :(
I'd buy that for a Dollar!!!!!!!!
Seriously do you save this kind of thing or eat it ?!
Adblock FTW.
Dude, that's awesome. I want one to go with the cat helmet.
Did you collect a hundred of them to get a Russian 1UP?
Kotaku should send us some Goat coin chocolate....
This is just huge! Might as well call it a Chocolate wheel or something.
Max, are you going to eat it or keep it? I am very curious about the quality of the chocolate.
That coin looks better than those GOTY ones.
@ogrekiller: lies
I'll believe it's size when you compare it to a Chihuahua.
So what is that, ten inches across?
@marissa_melee: I'm not sure actually, what to do. It's very tempting to unwrap the thing and get a taste of it. But when will be the next time I'll get my hands on such beauty? :)
@MCWHERTOR
"Spaceba", lol. Close enough.
That chocolate could feed me for a few days. Actually, I'd probably stuff myself with it in an hour. Still, looks great.
who want's to eat master chief?
@darshannon: Very true. Maybe you can just unwrap it a little, sneak a tiny nibble, and wrap it back up...no one will be the wiser!
Although if that were mine, I'd probably want to keep it in pristine condition, too. :)
