The Sideshow Exclusive version of the Sideshow Master Chief Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order! Priced at a hefty $399.99, the Sideshow Exclusive version of the Master Chief includes an entire alternate hand that can be switched out so that the Master Chief can hold a Needler instead of the Assault Rifle! Not that there have been a lot of Needlers in this scale before, but this is beyond a doubt the best-looking representation of the Needler that I’ve ever seen.

The Master Chief Premium Format Figure statue is set to be released in April 2013, so high-end collectors will have a long time to save up for this Master Chief masterpiece. Sideshow also has payment plans available for about $66 a month, which is a much easier payment structure for those (like me) who wouldn’t look forward to dropping a quick $400 at once come next spring!

This 1:4 scale high-end Sideshow Collectibles Halo Master Chief Premium Format Statue is going to be one of the largest Halo collectibles ever made, as it’s going to be over two feet tall (25″) and nearly a foot and a half (17″) wide at the base. Both the exclusive and non-exclusive versions of the statue will have switch-out arms so the Master Chief can come packing either the Assault Rifle or the Magnum Pistol.

This figure represents the Master Chief in his Spartan Mark V armor as he appeared in the first Halo game, and the massive base replicates part of the terrain of the ring world Halo. The Sideshow Collectible Master Chief Premium Format statue is so intricate that it took both three sculptors and three painters to fully-design the piece!
