We knew that the Premium Format Master Chief Statue would be displayed publicly for the first time at San Diego Comic-Con 2012–and it is. It’s huge and quite a thing of beauty in real shots, so any fears that the photos in the web preview look better than the actual Master Chief Statue turn out to be unsubstantiated. However, fans expecting a larger presence for Halo at the Sideshow Collectibles booth are likely to be disappointed…

At this time, this is seemingly the only Halo high-end product that is going to be displayed at the Sideshow Collectibles booth this year. It seems unlikely that Sideshow would have purchased the licensing rights for Halo just to make one statue, so we’ll probably see a deluge of new Halo product from Sideshow Collectibles in the near-future, but it doesn’t appear that any other items will be shown this weekend. For the moment, we may have to be satisfied seeing the back of the Master Chief Premium Format Statue for the first time.

We’ll keep you posted.
