Corgi International is one of those places that makes collectible items for obsessed fans of various franchises. For instance, on their site right now, you can purchase several replicas of rings worn by Johnny Depp in Pirates of The Caribbean or a limited edition Luke Skywalker blaster from Star Wars.

In their recent newsletter, Corgi has announced a new partnership with Microsoft to start producing collectible Halo merchandise as part of their Master Replicas collection. Inspiration for the pieces will based on all three games in the Halo series. In addition to their own products, they will also be distributing Kotobukiya's sure to be amazing Halo figure collection.

Seeing Corgi's attention to detail and bizarre minutia, I won't be surprised to start seeing things like replica Halo armor, helmets and Master Chiefs collectible jock strap.

<![CDATA[ BFG 4 Sale...Cheep! ]]>

Just kidding, it's actually about eighty bucks!

The BFG. General consensus is that the BFG stands for "Bio Fragging Gun", "Bio Force Gun" or *ahem* "Big F#*king Gun"! The debate will rage on long into the next decade, but whatever the name disagreements, no one is going argue that the BFG is the mother of all guns. Period. Unfortunately, this is a non functioning model so you won't be able to blast hordes of Imps, Pinkies, Zombies etc with it! However, you will be able to impress all your friends who will surely think you've got the coolest mini replica around! By First 4 Figures.

Surely! Surely the coolest!

I wish Nerf would come out with replicas so you could actually use them. I guess you could launch rubber bands from the barrel or something.
