Weta to make high-end Halo 3 collectibles
Weta will, indeed be making high-end Halo 3 collectibles. The announcement that Weta Limited acquired the Halo 3 license was was made at this year’s Comic Con.
As of yet, specifics have not yet been announced though, if the short film is an indication, you can expect to see life-size helmets, weapons and similar scaled-down replicas, er, collectibles. The only information was the announcement and the image to the right which simply has the Halo logo (the Halo 3 logo is faded behind it), a silhouette of Master Chief (not a prototype image) and the phrases “Limited Edition High End Collectibles” and “Coming Soon.”
Weta does an incredible job with its products with amazing detail and high-quality materials. The only other company that can compete for precision and quality is Master Replicas. In case you did not know, typically the phrases “limited edition” and “high-end” mean big money. The two phrases together means even bigger money. Do not expect these to be cheap.
