MASTER CHIEF (HALO 2)
This all-new version of the legendary Master Chief shows him as he appeared in Halo 2. Figure features the Chief in his new Mark VI armor, dual-wielding a pair of Brute Plasma Rifles -- all features that made their debut in Halo 2.



ODST: BUCK
The squad leader of Halo 3: ODST, Buck comes with an Assault Rifle and features a McFarlane ODST figure first -- a removable helmet.



BRUTE CAPTAIN IN VISR MODE
The darkened streets of New Mombasa are perfect for a Brute ambush, but the ODSTs have a secret weapon: VISR mode! This low-light amplification system outlines friendly units in green and enemy units in red. Figure comes with Brute Plasma Rifle and Spike Grenade, and features glow-in-the-dark paint.



UNSC MARINE
The backbone of the UNSC military, the Marine is ready to join the ranks of your action figure force. Figure comes with UNSC Battle Rifle.



ARBITER RIPA 'MORAMEE
Set before the Covenant Civil War, Halo Wars showed the alien Elites as a fierce enemy of mankind -- and no Elite was more feared than the Arbiter, Ripa 'Moramee. This all-new figure comes with dual Plasma Swords.



ELITE ASCETIC (SILVER)
McFarlane's first multiplayer Elite figure in Ascetic armor comes with dual Brute Spike Rifles and a paint scheme that complements the Elite Assault figure from Series 5.
