McFarlane Toys created a statue of Noble Team, which is included with the Legendary Edition of the game.

On November 2, 2012, McFarlane Toys' founder Todd McFarlane unveiled the exclusive limited-edition The Master Chief vs. The Hunter resin statue to commemorate Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, the live-action webseries produced for the promotion of Halo 4. Only 500 pieces were produced and each statue was sequentially numbered and given a Certificate of Authenticity hand-signed by Todd McFarlane.[3]

On October 10, 2013, McFarlane Toys announced the new Halo 4: The Master Chief resin statue. The statue recreates the iconic cover art of Halo: 4. The statue is limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, and includes three interchangeable weapons. Each sequentially numbered piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity, hand-signed by Todd McFarlane. It was released on December 6 of the same year.[4]
