Way back in 2013, NECA announced that they had acquired a license to produce Halo collectibles, including a Master Chief motorcycle helmet. We didn’t hear anything much about the Halo Motorcycle Helmet until last fall, when an unpainted prototype was displayed at New York Comic Con 2015. But at the biggest toy event of the year–New York Toy Fair 2015–NECA finally showed off the finished prototype! And almost immediately after, it went up for sale–the NECA Halo Master Chief Motorcycle Helmet is now up for order!
Ordinarily I’d rant on and on ad nauseam about the features and specs of whatever Halo collectible I’m talking about, but seeing as how this Master Chief modular motorcycle helmet is just a little bit outside of my area of expertise, I’ll just list off the official product details for this particular Halo motorcycle helmet here instead.

The Master Chief Halo Motorcycle Helmet is now available for order, and is expected to arrive in July 2015. This is a very expensive item, but also a unique one that I don’t expect to ever see offered again, so I’m really curious to see how quickly the NECA Master Chief Motorcycle Helmet sells out.
Any hog-riders out there planning to trade in their old motorcycle helmet for a spiffy new Master Chief helmet, or is this item a bit too geeky–or pricy–for you?
It’s cool but pricey. And then I’d have to get a custom bike that would suit it. Sigh.
Instead of a bike, it might be easier (and theoretically cheaper) to get a green, brown or black ATV and paint it up as a Mongoose. You could even make a fake turret on the back with one of those ridiculously giant Nerf cannons.
Can’t wait to hold this piece in my hands 😉
I wonder if it can be used in winter conditions? that would be a sweet snowmobile helmet
Hey halo bikers, this is the helmet to get
