Here's another game that has jumped onto the collector's edition bandwagon. THQ has announced that the upcoming third installment of their Red Faction series will also be getting the collector's edition treatment.

And it does appear as if next-gen toy manufacturing really is all the rage now for publishers marketing their titles. Only a few days ago, we posted an article on the 12-inch...er...Solid Snake action figure from Kojima for their MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. Today, we haven't got anything affiliated with amphibians, but we do have someone fully-ranked.

Master Chief of Halo will also have his very own action figure, and in fact is reported to be created by Gentle Giant. Also to tower at 12 inches, the figure will be based on Master Chief's Halo 3 appearance, and will sport a "super-posable" body, a black cloth body suit, and of course, donned in his classic Spartan armor.

Keep a close look out for Master Chief in your local toy stores by fall. We'll be bringing you the photos as soon as they get here.
