Gundam Meets Halo in Awesome Action Figure



What do you get when you cross Halo's Master Chief with a giant robot from Japan's iconic Gundam franchise?

Answer: You get the action figure seen here to the right.

The image here shows a hybrid between the MJOLNIR power armor of Halo's ass-kicking protagonist, the Zaku II [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Chief_(Halo)] Mobile Suit used by the enemy pilots of the Duchy of Zeon in the groundbreaking Mobile Suit Gundam anime. It's also completely awesome.

Unfortunately, it would seem that this particular figurine won't be available in stores anytime soon - it's purely a custom job done by its creator [http://mechdesigns.blogspot.com], made by taking a Master Grade Zaku II model kit and customizing the hell out of it. That said, this thing does look really cool, and if Microsoft and Bandai ever teamed up to make this an actual kit, I would buy one in a nanosecond.

I mean, we all know that Halo is busy nudging its way into the anime scene [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/1479-Halo-Legends], so why couldn't we have a crossover between the two universes, huh? Screw the Covenant, we have Newtypes and Minovsky Particles!

A man can dream, can't he?

That looks awesome, and nice for a custom job as well.

That thing looks kinda ugly[footnote]That doesn't mean it doesn't look awesome. It looks brilliant...[/footnote]...
But now.. I never really watched Mobile Suit Gundam...
Maybe I should watch a bit, see what it is like...
The little I have seen was interesting...

I wonder how many fanfictions will be born out of this...

It is cool though. I'd probably buy one just to have it.

All in favor of going to the creator of the action figure and force him to produce 200 more say "I".

That's what Halo has been missing all this time: mechs!
Halo: Legends says 'Hi' and wonders why you never write anymore. It misses you. Every night Halo: Legends sets a dinner place for you but you never come home. Why? Why do you hate it so?

The visor is too big! How's he supposed to look down all menacingly at the nasty aliens he's stomping on if his helmet's too big!? D:

Personally, though, I think Robotech better suits Halo for a variety of reasons. To be honest, though, Robotech doesn't have the iconic look that gundam does, so you couldn't tell it was a crossover.
Still, I wanna see a Pelican with legs and a giant rifle!

Hehehe. That actually seems very, very, cool. I'd love to play a Halo game with this version as Master Chief being you.
