LOS ANGELES (June 3, 2011)? Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX? interactive entertainment products in the Americas, announced today a series of premium quality action figures including Master Chief from the popular Halo? universe.

HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED PLAY ARTS -KAI- MASTER CHIEF (Envisioned by Square Enix Products) is an original take on the Master Chief based on the iconic character from Halo: Combat Evolved.
