Halo Cat Toys for the Feline Fanatic

Halo Cat Toys

There are a few things in life I simply can’t get enough of, and Halo and pussies are at the top of that list. That’s why I was so incredibly excited when my adorable eight-week-old kittens provided the perfect opportunity for an epic combining of the two. Using the logic that if I loved all things born in the Halo universe then surely my furry friends would too, I ordered Mittens and Chief (who are collectively referred to as MC) Halo cat toys. Made by crafter extraordinaire Sparklehorse, their golf ball-sized Master Chief helmet, Cortana head, and plasma grenade are 100% wool and stuffed with catnip. At only $2.29 USD apiece, the kitty’s version of Halo was considerably cheaper than my slightly more expensive $150 Legendary Edition, so I think it’s safe to say they’ll definitely be getting Reach as well!

Real-Life Halo Spike Grenade

Spike Grenade

One morning, upon arriving home, I witnessed my neighbor use my driveway to turn around and, in the process, knock over my extremely full garbage can that was patiently awaiting pickup. As he sped away, I pictured myself adhering a spike grenade to his crotch and then dipping my nonexistent balls directly into his face. Unfortunately my daydream did not come true, but it could have if I would have had one of these at my disposal. Made from PVC, smooth-on urethane, aluminum, and faux leather, this amazingly detailed Halo spike grenade prop stands 38″ tall and weighs in at an impressive 4.5 pounds. It’s currently up for grabs on eBay with a starting bid of US $150.00 and while it doesn’t explode, I’m thinking some creative modifications just may make that possible. Don’t worry guys, I’M ON IT.

It’s Flip-Yap! Or Yap-Flip.

LEGO Halo: How To Make Your Favorite Halo Characters

Lego Halo

Halo is super awesome, and Legos are super awesome. Thus, by default, the combining of the two equals instant win. Ewok in Disguise, someone who clearly knows this, not only builds all sorts of fabulous creations, but the majority of them contain both of those mandatory elements. As if that weren’t amazing enough, he readily shares how to make them in easy-to-follow image form. So grab a pile of those little, plastic bricks, and start constructing your favorite Halo characters! It’s not like you had anything else to do until September 14th anyways.

Halo: Reach, Heavy Metal Style

Copper Halo: Reach

What’s cheap, older than the Stone Age, and loves nothing more than getting thrown down on a soft surface and pounded with a variety of tools? If you said me, your prize is awaiting you behind the door to the left. If you said the chemical element with the symbol Cu, then perhaps you’re in gigaguy123‘s art class. Last time he was handed a school assignment, he produced an amazing metal Master Chief. When faced with a second task, he opted to create something from Halo: Reach. Deciding upon an Invasion theme, he pressed out and stained an Elite versus Spartan showdown of epic proportions, all upon a single sheet of copper. If I were his teacher, I would have given this project an F. Because it’s fucking awesome!
