In my humble opinion, Joyride’s Halo 2 Master Chief was one of the best, if not the best Master Chief figure until this month. It may seem strange now, but before toy companies like McFarlane, Square Enix or Mattel, there was only toy company making Halo toys: Joyride Studios. The very first toy company to land the Halovideo game license went all out with a range of Halo: Combat Evolved toys, including the main protagonist, the Master Chief, as well as secondary characters and vehicles. Their first Halo 8-inch action figures, while not as detailed or articulated as modern day toys, are still considered amazing by Halo toy collectors for their large size, durable plastic construction and classic Halo: Combat Evolved design aesthetic. The mirrored visors on the Spartan action figures was also a very nice touch. From the Halo Infinite Multiplayer - Fracture: Tenrai event, comes the legendary Spartan Chonmage with optional Yokai helmet. The Chonmage, a symbol of samurai commanders and their ability to harmonize with fellow warriors. And the Yokai, those lost samurai who pursued unattainable perfection and instead devolved into creatures driven only by war.

Still, with a Spartan 117-sized hole to fill, there remained a market for high-end Halo figures. Enter 1000toys.

That’s exactly what McFarlane Toys did in 2008 with their Halo Master Chief. While color variants used the sculpt well, Halo fans were best served with John-117 wearing his classic green Mark VI armor. This durable, well-made plastic figure came ready to take on the Covenant armed with classic Assault rifle and even a Frag Grenade that plugged into the figures thigh, just like his smaller Halo action figure cousins.

While not articulated in the traditional sense of an action figure, Kotobukiya’s ARTFX take on the Halo 3 license was still stunning. Their “Field of Battle” diorama was the most impressive, the 1/6th scale (12-inch) piecedepicting the Master Chiefemerging from a depleted bubble shield with weapons at the ready. This dynamicplastic statue included interchangeable arms, some holding new weapons (dual Brute Spiker Pistols!).Whether it’s Master Chief or thered Spartan colorway, this is a collectible no Halo collection should be without.
