Editing McFarlane Toys/Halo 3 Series 2

{{Status|RealWorld}}
'''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo 3|McFarlane Toys Halo 3]] Series 2''' has sixteen different figures. Series 2 has a new type of packaging: the blister card, which is much easier to open.
==Campaign==
===Master Chief===
This figure is the second Master Chief figure. The Master Chief Series 2 action figure is one of Todd McFarlane's creations for ''Halo 3''. 

It features the '''[[John-117|Master Chief]]''', with olive-green armor, and comes with a [[Spartan Laser]] and a [[Fragmentation Grenade]] (even though the prototype was pictured with a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]]). Its armor (chest plate, shoulders, and helmet) is not detachable, despite being said on the package. It was released on June 10, 2008. 

It is five inches tall, and, like other Spartan figures, the Master Chief has 18 points of articulation, weapon storage on the waist, back, and right leg.

This figure is worth 10 [http://spawn.com/halopoints/ Halo Points].

===Arbiter===
The '''[[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]''' action figure is a replica of the character from ''[[Halo 3]]''.

This figure has 18 points of articulation, an [[Energy Sword]], and weapon storage on the Arbiter's right leg. The [[Energy Sword]] is very hard to get the figure to hold, as the figure's hand is closed into a tight fist. This problem was fixed in later variants of the figure.

This figure is worth 20 Halo Points.

===Brute Stalker===
The '''[[Brute Stalker]]''' action figure is one of Todd McFarlane's creations for ''[[Halo 3]]''. It features the new [[Brute Stalker]] equipped with two [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spikers]]. The Spike Rifles feature the weapon pegs on them which slot into indents into the Stalker's hands, making them ideal for displaying well. They are difficult to remove, but not impossible, should one desire a different [[weapon]] for the figure to hold. It is 6 inches tall, with 15 points of articulation. Also, the Brute Stalker has a removable helmet. 

This figure provides 20 Halo Points.

===ODST===
The '''[[ODST]]''' action figure is a replica of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from ''[[Halo 3]]''. 

The ODST figure is armed only with a [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]]. Unlike the ODSTs in ''Halo 3'', this figure doesn't have a white or a red strip on his shoulder. It stands 4 3/4 inches at the top of the head. 

This figure has 16 points of articulation, a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, and weapon storage on the back. The Battle Rifle is on a smaller scale than other Battle Rifle that come with other figures, with the exception of the Spartan Scout. A possible explanation is that the rifle is actually the smaller [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], though its appearance is identical to the BR55HB Battle Rifle.

===Drone===
The [[Yanme'e|Drone]] action figure is one of Todd McFarlane's creations for ''Halo 3''. It features the new Drone from ''Halo 3'', armed with a [[Plasma Pistol]]. 

It is set to be around six inches tall, and has 12 points of articulation, as well as folding wings. It comes with a baseplate for the figure to stand on because the [[Yanme'e|drones']] insectoid structure makes it hard to stand without one. The stand is almost the same as the ones that come with the Series 1 Vehicles (a large oval with the ''Halo 3'' symbol on it). 

The [[plasma pistol]] it comes with does not feature a peg or a peg-hole, so it can not be placed on a [[Spartan]]'s or [[Elite]]'s belt. It has been noted that the Drone holds the Plasma Pistol in its right hand (the image shows the drone holding its weapon in its left hand, but the actual figure is right-handed), but in the game, all [[Drones]] are left-handed. The Drone's claws are spread out, making it extremely difficult for the Plasma Pistol to stay in place. However, other Covenant weapons, such as the Needler, are much easier to use with the figure.

This figure is worth 35 Halo Points.

==Matchmaking==
===Spartan CQB===
The [[CQB]] Spartan comes in a red color, with yellow detail coloring.  It stands 5 inches tall and is articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and feet. It is armed with a shotgun and a [[fragmentation grenade]]. Like all other Spartan figures, their helmets, chest plate, and shoulder plates can be interchanged with other Spartans. Each figure has 26 moving parts, 18 points of articulation, removable helmet, shoulder plates, and chest plates. The thumb on the right hand is extremely easy to break off as opposed to most other figures that have closed fists.

===Spartan ODST===
The [[Body Suit#MJOLNIR ODST Helmet|ODST helmet]] is another new armor for McFarlane's Spartans. Since the ODST armor is only a helmet, the rest of the armor is Mark VI. These figures come in two colors: cyan and steel. 

The cyan Spartan is a Walmart exclusive, while the steel Spartan is a GameStop exclusive. Like all other ODST figures, it has orange detail coloring.

Both figures have a Battle Rifle and a [[Fragmentation Grenade]]. Both are worth 10 Halo Points.

===Spartan Mark VI===
Series 2 has two more variants of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor#MJOLNIR Mark VI|Mark VI]] Spartans; a gold version and a pink version. 

The gold Spartan is a Transworld/FYE exclusive, and the pink one is a D&R Lineups exclusive. Both figures have a Shotgun, and a [[Frag Grenade]] (although the Pink Spartan concept wielded a Gravity Hammer). 

Like all Matchmaking figures, they are worth 10 Halo Points.

===Spartan Scout===
The [[Scout]] armor is a new armor for McFarlane's Spartans. This figure comes in one color: tan (although a blue Scout is shown on the back of the Spartans' packages, that figure is in Series 3). This figure has a [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and a [[Fragmentation Grenade]]. It has red detail coloring.

An interesting note is that the Spartan's Battle Rifle is on a smaller scale than the Battle Rifles that come with other figures. It is the same size as the ODST figure's Battle Rifle.
