With This Halo Ring

May 14, 2009 by 13 Comments

custom halo wreathHalo action figures are all the rage these days, as are Halo tattoos and even Halo cakes. But Halo-themed wreaths? While I missed that particular memo, eBay seller mayette0422 clearly did not as she is currently offering up this one of a kind laurel to the lucky highest bidder. Available at a Buy It Now price of US $200 (or a starting bid of $99), this Halloween-colored circlet features a plethora of collectible knickknacks including buttons, miniature weapons, bullet shells, and even a lone Halo 2 disc. I actually have the perfect spot for this unique decoration. It’s called the inside of a closet door that nobody ever opens. Oh relax, I’m just kidding! I wouldn’t even take this sucker out of the box. Hit the jump for some close-ups of this gamer garland.

The $2,500 Pair of Xbox Shoes

May 11, 2009 by 17 Comments

custom xbox dunks

Are you actively attempting to improve your less than impressive basketball skills? Try the Dunk, a shoe made by Nike that is supposed to assist with pivoting and blocking while on the court. Looking to up your gaming cred too? Then kill two birds with one stone with this Xbox-themed custom pair of sneakers. Beginning with Dunks as the base and morphing into a fanboy’s dream, there is an Xbox logo with embedded fiber optic wiring built into the patent leather backing of each shoe. The lighting, which can be turned to either strobe or constant, is accessed through the tongue. If you find yourself drooling over the plethora of lime green accents, these one of a kind shoes can be yours for just $2,500. Things like this totally turn me on but unfortunately I’m not willing to show you a picture of that. You can see the shoes turned on though after the break so get to jumping already! Unless you’re white of course because then, from what I’ve heard about that, you’re just shit out of luck.

That’s Really Not That Much Juice

April 9, 2009 by 12 Comments

gears of war-themed guitarThis may not be a Lancer, a Gnasher, or the Hammer of Dawn, but I don’t think you have to be a big ol’ war-hardened, testosterone-driven, steroids-filled soldier to want to wield this powerful instrument. Sporting an alder wood body and a maple neck, this Gears of War-themed custom electric guitar is ready for some fretting. The body, which is painted a deep blood red, comes in the familiar shape of the recognizable GoW skull logo. If you are a Delta Squad fanatic, this unique guitar can be yours if you find yourself the last bidder standing at its eBay auction. With a current bid of US $26.02 and a little over a day left on the sale, snagging it at a reasonable price is definitely a possibility. Maybe not a big one, but at least a bigger possibility than a GoW game ever being anything more than a big steaming pile o’shit. ZING!

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t

halo active camo faceplate

The only thing better than picking up a shotgun, grabbing active camo, and completely obliterating people’s faces is grabbing that active camo (along with a few stickies) and planting glowing blue orbs on opponents’ backs who unknowingly run right past you. That is why this active camouflage-themed trio, which is currently up for grabs on eBay with a starting bid of US $59.99, is absolutely screaming my name. A custom clear Halo 3 Xbox 360 faceplate (adorned with the United Nations Space Command Defense Force insignia) comes bundled with a matching miniature Master Chief Kubrick figure and also a mock plasma grenade. The illuminated by a blue-white LED and a red laser Covenant explosive also comes with a little metal cup to sit in. Like that sucker wouldn’t always be in your hands or otherwise somehow in use. I wonder if that sticky has an enemies only option. I should look into that in the actual game too.

Meowster Chief

March 15, 2009 by 28 Comments

halo kitty master chief

The world of custom action figures is often times an intriguing place. From stripping off armor to creating mashups of the century, its dedicated and talented artisans continue to produce a plethora of one of a kind creations at an impressive pace. Sometimes we like what we see and other times we don’t, and this latest piece falls somewhere in between. Falling victim to the very popular trend of plastering Hello Kitty on absolutely everything, our favorite protagonist from the Halo universe has been given the ultimate girly treatment.  This lightish red custom action figure (which features the iconic Japanese cat face on its gun, shield, necklace, knees, and butt) has been dubbed the “Halo Kitty Meowster Chief.” Isn’t the name alone worth the US $49.99 asking price? Yeah, you probably shouldn’t answer that.
