I saw a prototype at SDCC, it was just a sculpt no articulation, but from what I saw it'd make a sweet figure.

P.S. I've looked for a pic everywhere and have found nothing. GG had a 'No Photography' sign up.

Got any pics? Be nice to have something to look at in the thread

 

[lerath666]

heh, that answers that
Hmmm.. you know... i think i do remember seeing pictures of it somewhere though....

I wonder what is taking so long. I expected to see something by now.

 

[lerath666]

i think the original plan was to be released the same time as Halo 3. i hope they are still planning on making him. The body being builled as "super poseable" gives me high hopes. But even if the body is lame, as long as the armor is good, we can do a swap
Let the hunt for photos begin?

 

[lerath666]

hehe... found pics

Here's another pic. I was looking forward to this. Not sure what GG is doing with this or when it's shipping?

The mini-busts look like they're supposed to ship in March.

later this year i beleive. I know the 1/6 figure in the shot is immoble, it was just to show the armor sculpt prototype.

So it's going to be an articulated figure not a statue?

 

[lerath666]

yes, according to thei own press release, Gentle giant Developed their owwn " super articulated body" just for this project.

 

[Sachiel]

I think we'll finally see it at Toy Fair.

Well that sucks, I want a statue. And now that I think about it, they did say that at SDCC this past year.

There already is one Fritz, it's made by ArtFX and you can get it for around $80.

Chief is 12" Tall.

I saw that one, it's the Kotobukiya version. It looks nice and all but it's plastic and I prefer something more solid. Also, I don't like the weapon selection. I prefer a pose with the rifle.

This could be a really kickass figure... I imagine we'll also see a number of color variants.

It does include an alternate set of hands for a choice of two display options:
