Mega Bloks still holds the Halo license, but that doesn't mean you can't build your own Spartan creations out of Legos. Mike Nievens forged an intricately detailed Noble VI Lego figure, featuring working joints, articulated fingers, and the most detailed Lego feet I've ever seen.

"I promised long ago to build a Spartan," says Mike on his Flickr feed. "I've tried many times but failed miserably each time. Since then, every model I've made had the purpose of practicing new techniques to use for the Spartan. This has taken me way too long to build. This is part of a larger Vignette that I have planned out, but haven't made yet. I'm taking it very slowly and making sure each part is the highest quality I can muster. There are still a few placeholder parts that I need to remake. But I'm saving that for later."
