Custom Transformers Halo Style Metroplex by chihPosted by Mig on Friday, January 4, 2008 @ 4:10 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe Chih's Customs ranks up there as one of my favorite customizers. This week, chih has outdone himself again and has created a Halo Style Transformers crossover figure that is extremely detailed and comes with a bunch of extras!Paint Aps Chih was right on with his choice of colors for this one. In the Halo series from Microsoft, the Master Chief, which Chih modeled this Transformer after, dons a green suit to battle. The way the suit was weathered takes the armor and overall look of the Transformer to the next level! He has the right mix of weathering to give a fresh from battle look without over doing it. While the paint aps are not a direct translation of the Master Chief's suit, Chih had to make some concession to fit the figure into the Transformers Universe. For example, the original Halo suit has black but to fit the world of the Transformers, Chih substituted metal, which goes much better on this figure. Check out the comparison below:  AccessoriesThe extras that come with this figure are plentiful and go well with the figure. There are subtle things that separate customizers from each other and that is taking the time to modify the accessories and Chih has done just that. Some of the guns light up and the jet pack has an awesome orange glow to it, as if he was blasting off. Here is the rundown of the gear: HALO style Helmet Laser cannon Flame Blaster Power pulse Blaster Power Cutter Saw Jet Pack  This Custom Transformers Halo Style Metroplex figure is one of Chih's best work in my opinion and should grab top dollar on eBay. For a chance to own this figure, go check it out on eBay!

This spectacular custom is by one of my favorite customizers, Jin Saotome! Like I reported in my blog about the Custom Master Chief Wearable Helmet, my wife got a copy of Halo 3 compliments of Microsoft and my nephew came over that night and we played the game for a couple hours. I must say I was very impressed by the stellar graphics and captivating story line.Jin, who typically makes custom Transformers, has really brought the Master Chief to life. He goes on to say, "This auction is for a 8” tall custom Halo 3 Master Chief, pistol, rifle, Energy Sword, debris base, and revealed head. This is what he currently comes with, however I was short on time for making the actual battle base and will be adding that later along with an assortment of other weapons still to come! So for right now, this is what the auction includes. Master Chief has 22 points of articulation and can be posed in all sorts of awesome Flood-battling poses, no-scope poses, and even corpse-hump stances to taunt your enemy with after running them down in a Warthog. What better way to celebrate the release of Halo 3 than with a Master Chief that’s ready for battle!  Master Chief is back and this time he’s loaded for war! This figure is ONE OF A KIND with hand-sculpted armor sections! I didn’t mold the armor so there’s no more after this one. He features an intricate paint job with airbrushed shading, metallic sections, armor highlights, and a sweet gold-reflective visor! You can pose him in just about any position and he’s eight inches tall, this is not a tiny figure! Master Chief comes with three weapons currently, a pistol, rifle, and energy sword. I will have other weapons for him soon, I just ran out of time and can’t miss Heroes, hah! So keep an eye on the auction throughout the week and you’ll see added pics near the bottom of all the new stuff he comes with. The winner also gets the unhelmeted mystery head that won’t be revealed until after the auction ends! What does Master Chief look like under the helmet? You won’t know until you win! So… want the ultimate, unique, hand-made Halo collectible? Know someone who’s a huge Halo fan and goes to the grocery store wearing a Spartan helmet? Then don’t pass this auction up!!The reflective helmet gives a very realistic effect to this truly one of kind figure! Go track the progress of Jin's Master Chief Spartan Halo 3 Custom as I am sure this is going to grab big bucks on eBay!

I know this is going to sound strange but my wife brought home a brand new sealed Halo 3 game and we DO NOT have an XBOX 360 (how odd is that)! She is in the video game industry and received a copy as a compliment from Microsoft but I am a PC Gamer so we are giving it to our 14 year old nephew.In my hunt for Halo related customs on eBay, I came across this Custom Master Chief Helmet. To give you some background, fans can get an authentic Master Chief Helmet that is bundled with the XBOX 360 Legendary Edition but the helmet is not wearable! How fun is that? austinisiac saw this flaw and created a wearable helmet. He goes on and gives more details: "This was custom made by Briarsarmor/Richiesarmor who are famous for their Star Wars props. This helmet is indeed wearable and the visor IS see-through. Many people were upset about the Halo 3 legendary edition helmet not being wearable, well this is the solution. It is about the size of a motocross helmet, but is it's own helmet and not a helmet with crap plastered on it. This is a legit halo prop that isn't for play use. It has a small crack in the back, and the rest of the paint chips are on purpose for the "battle-damaged" look, you will see that there is silver paint underneath it to look like the metal. This is a one of a kind prop that is one of the rarest items to find with this quality."  Go check out this one of a kind Halo 3 Custom Master Chief Helmet that is sure to get top dollar as this is the only one out there that is wearable! I bet you are itching to dawn this Custom Master Chief Helmet and fire up Halo 3 and get your game on! If this Helmet is not your thing, go check out other customs on my ActionFigureCustoms.com site or the other Custom Video Game items on eBay.Labels: custom, Custom Figure Reviews, Custom Video Game Figures, Halo 3, Helmet, Master Chief
