Alright, new update. This is going to be one of my more expensive updates since there are a bit of pricey items for this one.
Starting off with Shadow of the Colossus. I finally received the first and third colossi from Prime1. Went for the EX versions that carried the little accompanying statue.
And, here are all the SoTC statues that I own.
I finally broke down and bought the Last of Us Part II Ellie Edition. Was pleasantly surprised at the going rate for this version. Thought I would be taking an arm and a leg to get this one and I know about the backlash people have for the game itself but I still figured with the diehard Naughty Dog fans and the collectors that I figured this would at least be double in price. This one is all minty and nice. Even came in it's original shipping box that has the orange do not open until stickers.
Okay, now on to Halo. Of course I bought Halo Infinite and received the steelbook as a preorder bonus. I also somehow realized recently that Microsoft released a bundled version of Halo:CE and Halo Reach called Halo Origins Bundle, so I had to snatch that up as well. Had to wait a while as the only versions I could find either had a complete mess of a slipcover or were absurdly overpriced.
I also bought the Art of Halo Infinite Deluxe Edition. Pretty nice cover with a slight gloss sheen in some areas.
And, of course, how could Microsoft not release PVC statues for the release and try to get as much as they can out of the franchise. So, I had to get the grapplehook versions in both the Orange/Red and Blue energy sword version. The first one included as well just to complete the look.
I originally bought these Cable Guy Halo versions to hold the new controllers I had but then realized that the twin pack with Master Chief and Cortana were from the original CE version whereas the solo Master Chief version was from Halo Infinite. So, I thought about buying doubles but with the rising prices of these, I decided to just keep them in the packaging. Sorry for the photo here as I was trying to get the light to cooperate so you could see the difference.
Never owned any Figpins but apparently there are different IPs that they make these in. So, I decided to buy the Halo ones. I've seen the regular ones but didn't realize that they made the same Master Chief version in XL format. They are pretty nice and hefty if you were to hold them. I shake my head just looking at the XL one, lol.
And, the pièce de résistance of this update is the Xbox Series X Halo Infinite edition along with the Halo Infinite Elite Series 2 controller. I'm currently trying to figure out how I'm going to display all of the console and statues of Halo together. When I finish, I'll be sure to give you guys an update.
