Which publisher designed the Collector's Edition statue of Master Chief holding an Assault Rifle?

Dark Horse Comics designed the Collector’s Edition statue of Master Chief holding an Assault Rifle. The limited-edition figure is a 12-inch statue included with Halo: Campaign Evolved’s Collector’s Edition.

Dark Horse is a major American comics and collectibles publisher that has long worked with licensed entertainment properties. Its Halo publishing history includes comics such as Halo: Initiation and Halo: Tales from Slipspace, making the company a familiar name to franchise collectors.

The statue is only one part of the roughly $200 Collector’s Edition package. Other contents include a SteelBook, a light-up replica of Cortana’s data chip, three concept-art prints, a physical manual, and the game or a digital voucher depending on platform.

A common mix-up is confusing Dark Horse’s role with Xbox Game Studios’ role. Xbox Game Studios published the game, while Dark Horse was specifically credited for producing the statue.
