  In researching my previous Halo 3 post regarding the announcement of the Weta Limited acquiring the Halo license, I came across one of the best - if not the only - wrapup writeups of the Halo sightings at ComiCon 2007.  Granted, it’s a insider’s blog by Microsoft employees but it still has some great information.

Here’s a quick summary of the Halo 3 sightings at the con mentioned in the post:

• Topps previewed Halo trading cards that will feature images from the game, books and other tie-in products
• WizKids hosted an author signing and demoed some of the Halo Collectible Miniature Game. The company also unveiled the Halo 3 battle damaged Scarab and sold a limited and numbered lot of 500 as a convention exclusive.
• Marvel gave details of the Halo: Uprising four-part comic miniseries, going on sale August 8, 2007.
• Tor Books will be releasing more Halo books.
• Mcfarlane Toys will be making actions figures, as we’ve already posted.
• Master Replicas will be releasing scaled Halo weapons replicas (6 in. long) n Fall 2007. The first two are the BR55 Battle Rifle and the Covenant Carbine, already available for pre-order.
• Kotobukiya, which we’ve highlighted through out Japanese Imports posts, will be making a Halo 3 Master Chief ARTFX statue that will measure a foot tall.
• Gentle Giant, which specializes in miniatures, will produce Halo Kubricks and a Master Chief mini bust (with interchangeable weapons and arms). Both will be released Fall 2007.
• Jasman Toys will be releasing Halo toys including a Halo 3 Covenant Plasma Pistol (October 2007), Covenant Plasma Rifle (October 2007) and a Covenant Energy Sword (2008)
• Acme Archive will have limited edition art pieces.
• Rubies will make master Chief helmets (2007) and costumes (2008)
• Weta, well, we already covered that.
• ... and a quick list of 12 other licensed Halo products.

Holy Halo. If you are a hard-core Halo collector, expect to pawn your car, house and soul to get all of these items.
