Now that Halo is back in the mainstream eye with the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and next year’s Halo 5 video game, a wide range of Halo collectibles from a variety of companies are finally starting to roll out again! Among the companies prepping high-end Halo toys for 2015 is TriForce, who have developed one of the coolest–and most expensive–Halo collectibles ever: the Halo 2 Anniversary Edition Plasma Rifle Life-Size Replica is now up for order!

Wow. I thought that the Sideshow Premium Format Master Chief and Spartan statues were likely to be the most expensive Halo items we’d see released for quite a while (at $400 each), but it seems I was off. Way off.

As fate would have it, the high-end manufacturer TriForce has actually whipped up something drastically more expensive–and also substantially more life-sized: a real (non-shooting) Covenant Plasma Rifle replica!

Don’t think that just because this Halo Plasma Rifle life-size replica is a “toy” that it’s going to be light (although it does have LED Lights built in): the TriForce Plasma Rifle weights a hefty 20 pounds! No wonder you can can kill someone just by bashing them in the head with this gun!

The dimensions of the life-size Covenant Plasma Rifle are 14″ H x 6″ D x 24.5” L. Over two feet long and over a foot high–That’s huge!! This meticulously-sculpted and finely-painted Halo 2 Plasma Rifle really is an enormous and impressive piece.

But speaking of enormous, let’s talk about the price on this beast of a weapon: $599.99. Ouch! Due to the fact that this is such a large piece made of polystone and including LED Lights, this is actually not a ridiculous price–it just may not be a price many of us can afford to pay.

I love me some Halo, but this Halo high-end collectible is far, far outside of my budget. It’ll make a gorgeous piece for those who can afford it, however.

The Life-Size Covenant Plasma Rifle is now available for order online, and is scheduled to be released in Q3 2015 (July-September 2015). EE has the Plasma Rifle available with no deposit necessary, free cancellations and free shipping, which is the best deal around. This item is limited to 500 pieces produced in the world, so expect it to sell out long before it ever actually ships.

How do you like the first-ever life-size Plasma Rifle, Halo collectors? Is this something you plan to get for yourself, or do you think this gun should actually shoot plasma for its tremendous cost?
