Just got this today.  Bought it from Originaldrdoom.  It's the mail away active camo chief from Halo 1.  What's really interesting is that it's in the H1S1 chief packaging.  So someone had access to the card stock and the plastic shell. The card and shell are perfectly and professionally glued together. The figure is wire tied too.  Truly a masterpiece!  Is it worth a lot?  Dunno, but it is a sweet addition to the collection!  Thanks doom!

That's really cool!  Is the cardback a reprint or is it original?

From the pic(looking at it) the top right bubble looks to be coming off the card a bit... and there seems to be some ripping on the right of the card. Is this like that all around? It could have been taken off the card carefully with an exacto, then reglued in place.. I did this a couple times back in the day when I as keeping some exclusive SW figs in the package(and already opened some older ones).

Either way, it still looks cool, and it's 1000x better than a white box, lol

Lighter Fluid is used to remove the bubble from the card stock without any damage to either, the hot wheels guys do it alot. Custom card backs are easily printed now a days.
