We've featured both McFarlane's and Kotobukiya's take on a replica Master Chief previously, and while both are great, they lack the detail to be found in these mini-busts from Gentle Giant. Available in March for USD$55, they'll ship in three variants: one with an assault rifle, one with a plasma sword and one double-wielding those useless Brute guns. The increased detail comes at a cost, however: lovers of Master Chief's thighs and dainty feet will bemoan this half-body replica, while shoppers with an eye on a particular colour/weapon will be bummed to hear that orders are being filled "randomly", making these the most expensive lucky-dip figures we've ever seen.
