The '''Flood [[Combat Form|Combat]] [[Human]] ''' is the first [[Flood]] figure from McFarlane. The figure will includes a [[SMG]] and a stand. There is a Covenant symbol on the back of the package, even though this figure is more UNSC than Covenant, as it is an infected [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]]. It measures 4.25 inches tall and is articulated at the elbows, wrists, waist, knees and ankles. 

It will look rather odd when its joints are bent, because the figure has many odd bulges and bumps that won't be aligned right when the joints are bent.

===Spartan Rogue===
The [[Rogue]] helmet is a new armor for McFarlane's Spartans. Since the Rogue armor is just a helmet, the rest of the armor is Mark VI. There are two colors of Rogue Spartans: olive and gold. They are articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

*The olive Spartan is available everywhere and has red detail coloring. It has a [[Brute Shot]] and a [[Fragmentation Grenade]]. Since the olive Spartan's hand is different from other Spartan figure hands (to hold the [[Brute Shot]]), it can not hold any of the other Spartans' weapons, nor can they hold the [[Brute Shot]]. 
*The gold Spartan is a FYE exclusive, and is armed with a [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] and a [[Fragmentation Grenade]]. 

Both figures stand 5.25 inches tall.

===Spartan Scout===
There are two new colors of Spartan Scouts: blue and crimson. They are articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and feet.
*The blue Spartan is a Wal-Mart exclusive and is armed with a [[Beam Rifle]] and [[Frag Grenade]]. It has yellow detail coloring. Though the blue one is part of Series 3, it is pictured on the back of [[McFarlane Halo 3 Series 2|Series 2]] figures.
