Joyride Studios/Halo 1 Series 4

The Joyride Series 4 was manufactured by Joyride Studios. They were released in the year 2003. All of the figures are based off the characters and objects from Halo: Combat Evolved.

Elite
The Red Elite figure is based off the Major Elites from the game. It is armed with a Needler and a Plasma Pistol.

Grunt
The Orange Grunt figure was the first Grunt figure made by Joyride Studios. It is modeled after the Grunt Minors in the game.

It is armed with a Needler and a Plasma Pistol.

Spartan
The White Spartan figure is a white SPARTAN-II in Mark V armor. It is armed with a Flamethrower and a MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System.

The package calls it a "White Master Chief", when it is actually a multiplayer Spartan.

Warthog
The Warthog Version 2 figure is different from the first version, as it is a M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle, or a Rocket Warthog. It features three "mini" red Spartan figures that can be placed on the driver, passenger, and gunner positions. It also includes a mini Assault Rifle.

Despite the Rocket Warthog in the game being a black color, the figure itself is more of a grayish color.

Labeling
On each action figure unit, Joyride has included a serial number, which allows you to find out when the action figure was created. The date code has four numbers followed by 'SS' actually stamped or embossed in the cardboard. The first three digits are the date the product was made, and the fourth digit is the year. For example: 2653SS means the product was manufactured on the 265th day of 2003 (9/23/2003).
