A Halo 3 Spartan Straight From Hell

Mike Fahey — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:00:00 MDT

I am not allowed to go to the San Diego Comic Con this or any other year, mainly because my penchanted for buying anything plastic, articulated, and limited edition would send me to the poorhouse faster than...well, faster than my normal lifestyle, which says a lot. SDCC sees tons of limited edition toys every year, and these two from McFarlane Toys would surely get my wallet open, silly concept or not. Sold together, the clear CQB Spartan
is joined by the not-so-clear Spartan Soldier EVA "HellSpartan"...basically Spawn-painted Spartan armor. Considering Spawn has been everything from anime to commando to samurai to refridgerator repairman, this really isn't that far a stretch. Right now it looks like some hobbyist kitbashed the thing together, though I am sure it will look lovely sealed in its little, limited-edition package. I'm going to just start sending McWhertor money now, build up a fund so he can grab me one of everything when he stops by this July.

Here are some photos of the box art for Halo 3, including the packaging for the amazingly expensive legendary fanboy box, which I will definitely be getting, if only for the stylish cat helmet for Rufus.

Here it is, the Halo 3 Legendary Edition exclusive Spartan helmet collectable. Getting your hands on this hot hunk of plastic—and the game, natch—will cost you a pretty penny, $99. Plus, Gamestop wants to kick in an extra $5 bonus shipping charge on top of that. Ouch!

Hardcore Halo fans willing to fork over the Benjamin will also get the following.

Three bonus discs that contain:
* Behind-the-scenes at Bungie Studios with new insights into the Halo Universe and the making of Halo 3.
* A special hi-res collection of all cinematics from Halo 1 and Halo 2 with director commentary from the Bungie Team bonus
* Community content from Red vs. Blue, This Spartan Life and Exclusive Gamer Tiles & a Theme
* Each unit will be serialized for added individuality and collectability

What say you, Kotaku readership? Will you bite? Michael McWhertor

When a thirty-foot tall, libidinous gorilla has kidnapped a pretty girl, you don't dick around by putting the local gibberish-spouting, LSD-fried, fat, hirsute plumber on the case. Want results? Call Team Spartan. Florian Eckhardt
