Rare Collectibles for Sale
You might remember the name Curt Chiarelli; he was the sculptor that created the molds that Joyride turned into Halo action figures. What came out made a lot of gamers happy - but not as happy as they might have been had they seen the (far more detailed) originals. Many of the details that Curt carefully added to his models were obscured by paint, or actually filed down to expedite the manufacturing process. Last year he sold two castings made from the original Cortana molds - and I can tell you they're gorgeous. (One was acquired for me.) He's back this year, with a (very) limited-edition run of the Covenant Grunt - a total of 25 castings will be made, and some are already spoken for. He's planning on keeping the figure a neutral gray so as to show the form and detail to its best advantage. If you're interested, he'll be retailing these at $500 - send him an email to discuss reserving one! (Louis Wu 23:56:56 UTC)
