The robust build adds a sense of fictional reality and massiveness present in Japanese sci-fi entertainment.
In addition to HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED PLAY ARTS -KAI- MASTER CHIEF, Square Enix Products is scheduled to also release a limited edition SPARTAN MARK V (Black). Both figures are slated for a late 2011 release.
The figures will debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 7-9, 2011.
