Master Chief is coming to London!
Posted by Andy Bailey at 12 September, 2007, 10:49 am
Madame Tussauds will be having it’s first ever computer gaming personality at their London venue later this month. He’s already been to Las Vegas (some say a clone is being used!) to scare punters at the Tussauds Vegas attraction. There, you can buy promotional items and stand next to him for photos.
You will be able to do the same in London too, I called Madame Tussauds but couldn’t get anything out of them about the exact date for his arrival, probably because they use a naff automated robot answering system that couldn’t be cajoled into revealing anything about the rok ‘ard character. You can visit their site and book tickets or phone the number and get bored by the automated system yourself.
The figure stands at 7′2″ tall and weighs a good 275 lb’s! It was made in London by 10 studio artists taking nearly 900 man-hours to create, using over 1000 pounds of clay for the 600 hours of sculpting, 200 hours of molding and a relatively short 37 hours of painting (he was never big on make-up anyway 
)
The figure is definitely imposing and will make a nice addition to the whole collection, maybe we can see a Mongoose vehicle in the future?? or use the Planetarium roof as a Halo shield, that would look so cool!

Nice. I am not much of a gaming fan but my husband, well, he’s another story. This looks like a character from his GI Joe Comic Book collection.
Or it isnt??
hehe LOL!
he’s the Master Chief from the Halo series of games. I take it you’re not a gamer?
Oh that is awesome though I havent played Halo yet. I am more of RPGer
I don’t have time for RPG’s (unless they’re the fire backed explosive of course)
No, actually I’m not, because that means I have to spend time away from blogging :), and you know, that’s just not even going to be considered …..
But my husband is a big PC gamer and he’s a GI Joe collector and it really does look like a character from it.
He’d probably love to go and check this out if it ever came for exhibition in our area.
I’m not really a gamer, more of a watch-people-be-a-gamer type of person! I just don’t have the patience for go through the whole level just to get to another one but more harder… I do enjoy the visuals and watching tournaments though!
There’s no Tussauds where you are so I doubt master chief will be visiting any time soon
Now that is one heavy dude. Halo 3 will be released tomorrow but I will hold off purchasing it until early October.

I can only say, Andy, after reading this - I really miss London now. Been there 5 times and never got sick of the place, or the whole UK. heh.

I’m huge fan of halo, in fact that’s the only reason why i bought a 360.
A good one indeed.
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 of the United Nations Space Command Navy.
The books were a really good read, and only makes you wish there were statues for the other Spartans, as well as for Dr. Hasley, Chief Mendez and others…
I know its an old topic but I just saw this for the first time and after playing Halo 3 nonstop this summer I can say I appreciate the work put into that. Gotta visit London.
