Its weird I know. Its some bloke called David Johnson made it...
This is what he said in a article...
Quote: "Kotaku reports that artist David Johnson, has put up for eBay auction this one of a kind Mz Master Chief figure made from polymer clay. The 11.5 inch figure is currently going for $241 with three bids and five days to go. 10% of the profits from the sale will go to support the American Breast Cancer Foundation. Kotaku states, "I've never seen MC looking quite so sexy. It suits him/her well" "

But what I'm wandering why sell one on Ebay. Why didn't he get it copied lots and lots and sold it off on ebay then more money would of came in for the charity. But still its for a good cause and it looks great aswell.

If there is only one of something it makes it ten times special and people will pay more, if you mass produce it you have to pay a lot of money to the people recreating it, distributing and selling it, only a small amount of each product would have gone to charity.

Heh, that's pretty amazing it's already at $910. Only 10% is going to the cancer foundation, but there are 4 days left on this thing. It's going to get alot more bids...

Only 10%? That doesn't sound like charity to me, sounds more like he's trying to capitalize on something to make himself more money.

Well, considering he doesn't have to donate anything, I think 10 percent is reasonable

And of course he's capitalizing on it, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out, otherwise he would donate all the proceedings to charity

No.

It always annoyes me too when in many war games, you always have these guys with armor 3 times their size, and on the female models....yeah well, they barely cover their sacred places.

Whatever sells i guess.

I'm not that clued up on the Halo storyline so I have to ask, has it ever been proven in Halo that Master Chief is actually a bloke?

EDIT:: The sculptor said of his Bald Britney model that he made money from people buying his regular models after becoming aware of them through seeing that. Same idea with this I suppose.

Do they call her Mistress Chief?

And to answer Fallout's boob question: She's obviously had them Spartan implants, which increases firmness by 450% and reduces bullet damage by twice that amount.

Why you'd ask such a stupid obvious question is beyond me...it's like I don't know you at all.

Hehe, then we can only guess what Spartan "upgrades" Master Chief has.

10 percent? Big whoop. If he really was doing this for charity, he'd give at least 50%. On the other hand, that is one hot Chief!

Samus is far better than Master Chieffesse - she's more badass and her power suit is far cooler (and more practical, and more moral, indeed).

Though her Zero Suit looks like something I'd love to see my girlfriend in, by the way. I like blue...

And uh... if you ever need someone to... examine those pictures... for science... I'm there for you man.

And as for Samus, I think she's what we'd call a "bad" girl.

Screw Hi-Def. It's Samus. She belongs with Nintendo and if Nintendo doesn't go HD, neither should Samus.

I could really care less about some extra pixels, I don't need to be able to read a freaking sign that's 1 mile away anyways, and anti aliasing gets rid of sharpies too. There really wont be a need for it until virtual reality kicks into gear.

Your about to get pwned.

whatever, hi-def is everything, why wouldnt you want it to look realer, do you really want to play a game that looks old and not as good. I already know your answer yes. But why?

Edit: What if that was master chiefs girlfriend in the game.

I never said I want to play a game that looks old, I could really just care less about hi def, I actually see barely a difference with anti aliasing on. Like I said, there is no point in it until virtual reality, that's where every pixel counts.

I'd rather play wii than 360 or n64. Can't wait for Brawl. I'm sick to tears of halo and Gears of War multiplayer. And seeing as neither I nor anyone else on my floor has an HD tv, Metroid Prime 3 looks almost as good as Halo 3, and really has way better art design.

HD is awesome, but it would in no way make Metroid Prime 3 a better game, aside from an ever so slightly clearer image.

I also don't find action figures attractive... It's very well done though.

I personally dont like the wii, my friend used to have one but he took it back because he didnt like it either. Well there is certain games i like. But most of them are just stupid to me.(Not saying there stupid and should of never been made) im just saying i dont like them. I used to have a big flat screen tv but my dad took it when my mom and my dad got divorced. Made me so mad.

I even play some DOS games every now and then. Transport Tycoon, Deus Ex, Starcraft and Diablo II still rev up every now and then for a quick game - so, HD means nothing. What does mean something is that the game plays as it should - and if theres a few games that play as they should they are (among others) Halo and Metroid...

What I like about this is if you look back at his older stuff, you can see him improving - he clearly put a lot of time and effort into this. Personally I wouldn't sell them if they were mine, dunno but the amount of care it must have taken is not something that should be sold so easily, even if it is kinda for charity.

Anyone else thinking this Polymer clay stuff would be cool for making character concepts?, I always liked modelling clay as a kid, gonna have to get some of that. Sketching is one thing, but being able to take photos of actual models then recreate them would be damn handy.

We're going down... in a spiral to the ground...
