Just this past Summer, NECA gave us a look at their upcoming Halo Master Chief DOT-approved helmet. It was still in the early prototype stage, but it gave us a good idea what to expect for the final product. The helmet is now finished and up for pre-order, and looks even better than I imagined.
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 is a central figure at the forefront of the war against the Covenant and rumored to be the lone survivor of the declassified SPARTAN-II project.
