This will be a recurring theme throughout the review. However, there are a couple extra pieces, most notably the green lower rib cage armor (seen near top left, under back fin in pic below).Īnd you get this. Many are very similar, and of course bigger due to the scale of this model. Now, some of you may be thinking, ‘aren’t these the same as the smaller models?” You’d only be partially right. As you can see at bottom right, you get a fantastic reflective piece for the visor, with that bit of translucency to boot. Then you attach the second visor piece over that. This gives you a nice smooth reflective surface. What you do is apply the silver sticker to the visor piece on the left (of top left pic in graphic). As you can see by the orange translucent sprue, there are two ‘visor’ pieces. The panel showing the silver ‘visor’ needs to be explained. This differs form the smaller models as it has a more secure spot for the ball joint. The underneath of the helmet showing the spot where the ball joint fits in. Okay, let’s get into the build of the Master Chief.įollowing the “Z” going from 1st to the 4th pic in the graphic below. Here are the sprues, along with the instructions and near bottom right a sticker sheet.Ī close up of the sticker sheet. The directions in this set differ from the smaller ones in that it’s a linear foldout as opposed to quarter panels folds that the smaller models have. Inside you get a couple more packets of sprues. Let’s you become immediately interested in the subject (Chief), then let’s you know what it’s related to and what product line it comes from. Then my eyes are drawn to the light coming from Requiem, which then shoos up to the Halo logo as well as the Sprukits logo. The box art for this one has a landscape layout as opposed to portrait style (that the smaller three have). As well, I got what I think are some pretty cool posed shots of the Master Chief. This particular one is a little more special in that it’s a bigger build and has even better articulation that the previous three smaller models. Here we are at the fourth of the four reviews I have for BanDai Halo Sprukits. This can be used to help hold the assault rifle or battle rifle.Īnd on with the pics! (Click pics to make BIGGER) Special Features: Fully articulated figure at the following points:Īs well, the model includes a set of fisted hands, a set of ‘trigger’ hands, plus a third left hand that is open. Weapons: One Assault Rifle, Two Magnums, One Battle RifleĪccessories: Figure Stand w/partial articulation. Okay, without further ado, let’s get to the review.īuild Time: 1 hour 15 minutes building, Your time will vary as I was taking pictures along the way for this review. For Lego.Īll this goes to show, you can’t be too grown-up to stop playing with toys.This review is the fourth of the four currently at retail as of this posting. It’s Master Chief in the larger level 3 size. “ Badass Lego Guns” is a instruction book with plans to make your own actual projectile-launching Lego projects, some of which appear quite devastating. Not a fan of toy guns that don’t shoot? Well is there ever a book for you. It clearly helps to have the right guns when you’re saving the universe. Halo is a science-fiction series of games originally for the Xbox and Xbox 360 where the player takes on the role of a handful of protagonists, most notably the Master Chief, in an attempt to, what else, save the universe. You can see photos of it and his other Halo Lego creations on his Flickr page here. His current project is the shotgun from Halo: Reach, which appears to be functional, although it could be that it just loads and cycles Lego ammo and nothing else. That is how to make his version of the M6D pistol featured in the video game Halo: Combat Evolved. He has also modeled how to build his replicas and made video of them. They’re for looks for the most part, and are non-functioning. He’s made pistols, assault rifles, combat shotguns, even the knife, all 1:1 scale, all Lego. Jensen has made more than a dozen Halo weapons, including several variants from different games. Entirely made of Lego bricks, the sniper rifle is over 60 inches long and weighs 10.5 pounds. He has produced a full-size replica of the System 99 Anti-Matériel sniper rifle from the video game Halo: Reach. Nick Jensen is a master craftsman of Lego.
