At the Arts Chiyoda event in Tokyo, Japan over the weekend, 1000Toys showcased their newest figure in development. They have announced Master Chief 1/12 Scale Figure as based on the original Halo video game. At 1/12 scale, the figure should stand between 6.5″ t0 7″ tall. An unpainted prototype was on display at the event. The figure should have roughly 30 points of articulation. Master Chief is shown with his M6D Magnum pistol, as well as a MA5D Assault Rifle.
We’ll update when further details are released. The images come courtesy of forum member RamenRider, Amiami, and digitamin. Check them out after the jump.
The people behind that awesome Hellboy figure which came out a few months ago are touching a new IP: They’re making a 1/12 scale Master Chief figure from Halo, depicting his Mark V armor from the very first game.
The prototype was displayed at an art gallery event in Tokyo (Arts Chiyoda); the pictures were taken by an attendee and published on his blog.

Thank you for sharing!
"You need a weapon?"
Damn, John-117 is looking a little thicc
Do we know what the price point is of this or similar figures they have produced?
Their Devil May Cry figures retail for roughly $130.
1000toys released a Hellboy figure a few months ago which Tony Bacala took a very detailed look at:

They also made two Devil May Cry V figures which are published by Sentinel and available for pre-order:

I personally have the Hellboy figure and am satisfied with it. Very much worth the price IMO, and I'm interested in picking up this Master Chief figure as well.
Just last night I was lamenting the lack of a good 1/12 scale Master Chief from the first game, and here it is. Wow. Definitely a must-buy for me.
Don't like it. Too anime for me.
I certainly don’t get an animated vibe from it.
6.5 t 7 inches seems small for a Master chief figure since his height in canon is listed at 6'10 without his armored suit while he's 7'2 in the Spartan armor so I think maybe 8 inches would be a better scale for an action figure of him. Also I can't tell if this is the Halo 1 armor (Mark V) by the helmet and pouches on his waist so that's probably why it looks off or anime-ish to you Zorn88.
Still don't know why they decided to choice this armor over the Halo 2 and 3 armor (Mark VI) since that one is the more popular look and he's more buffier in that armor. Still would be great to see what 1000 toys does with this even would love to see if they add some great weathering paint on the armor
His size is just an estimate for now though; we don't really know how big the figure is until they tell us.
I'm not a giant Halo fan, so I'm not as familiar with the armor, but the whole crotch/hip area looks odd or too wide. I'm assuming it's to help with articulation.
This company is high on my standars list! They put out amazing products, and they are phenomenal with feedback, so any problems you have with it aside from design, let them know cause they will listen. My issue is the shoulders. I'm sure they will have that fixed in a later proto. But this looks great considering how fresh this is out of the mold. Even the weapons are right off the printer and the knees look single jointed but I'm sure they are just a place holder for now. I'm pumped!!!!
I certainly don’t get an animated vibe from it.
That, and the joints make it look like a mecha. Why are the elbows, shoulder, and hips so robotic looking?
I dig it, sold!

Love my 1000 Toys Hellboy, and this Master Chief looks really nice, may have to order this.
I’ve want everything I’ve seen from 1000 Toys but they just aren’t tackling any properties I’m invested in enough to drop the cash. Absolutely beautiful figures nonetheless and I’ll be keeping my eye on them for future releases.
Did he have those two black things sticking out from his head like that in the games? It’s been awhile, and I honestly can’t remember that being there
Always enjoyed playing Halo back in the day so getting this is a no-brainer, I love the updated yet accurate look. It's not too stylized yet works much better than the updated versions of the Mark V featured in later Halo games IMO.
It’s also good to know that they're making more - a Mark VI is happening for sure, but I hope we also get some Covenants.
It just looks off. Maybe it's the color, maybe it's the sculpt. Something's just not quite right about it???
I do, in fact, need this.
