McFarlane Toys/Series 1

McFarlane's Halo 3 Series 1 has twelve different figures.

Master Chief
The Master Chief action figure is one of Todd McFarlane's creations for Halo 3. It features an upgraded model of the MJOLNIR Mark VI Battle Armor and the new MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle. It is 5 inches tall, and has 18 points of articulation. An included grenade can be attached to the side of his leg, back of his hips. The MA5C can also be attached to the figure's leg or back.

People who have this model will notice a few flaws with the figure. For one, on the box it states the figure will come with a fragmentation grenade which is missing. Secondly, the figures waist is too thin and looks out of proportion. But on other (multiplayer) figures wearing the Mark VI armor, the proportions are correct. In the second series these mistakes will be corrected.

The figure costs $13.75 USD and around $20 CND. It also provides 10 Halo Points for use at Spawn.com

Brute Chieftain
The Brute Chieftain action figure is one of Todd Mcfarlane's extensive creations for Halo 3. It features the Chieftain's new armor, and a new version of the powerful Gravity Hammer. The Brute Chieftain stands 7 inches tall, and has 15 points of articulation. The figure provides 20 Halo Points for usage at the Spawn website and costs $17.50 USD.

Jackal Sniper
The Jackal Sniper action figure is one of Todd McFarlane's creations for Halo 3. Although incredibly detailed, the figure is very hard to get to stand up, and getting the figure to hold the Beam Rifle correctly is quite a challenge. This figure has 16 points of articulation. It is worth 20 Halo Points. It is 4¾ inches tall. "Unlike standard infantry Jackals, Sniper Jackals wield long range weaponry serving as the Covenant's answer to UNSC Marine sharpshooters."

Cortana
McFarlane Toys has released a Cortana figure for the Halo 3 series. She stands roughly 4 inches tall, though with the inclusion of the base, the figure reaches 5 inches. Cortana can be lit up from the built in light in her base. Of course she is unarmed. Cortana costs $14.59 USD and provides 35 Halo points. Cortana is a UNSC "smart" A.I. with the ability to project herself as a holographic image. Her last designated mission was to aid the Spartans in capturing the Covenant Hierarchs as the first step to end the war.

Grunt
There are two variants of Grunts made by McFarlane. However, both are listed as "Grunt". Both variants have removable masks and methane tanks. Each comes with a Needler and a Plasma Pistol. Part of McFarlane's Halo 3 line of figures, the Green Grunt. The Grunt represents the vast majority of the Covenant infantry. They are expected to unquestioningly obey the commands of their Brute and Elite commanders. Outfitted with weapons such as the Plasma Pistol and the Needler, the grunts may not seem more than cannon fodder, but in groups, they can be deadly.
