[[Joyride Studios]] created a line of '''Action Figures''' for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]] starting in 2003. In March 2008, the Todd [[McFarlane]] company began producing the [[Halo 3]] Action Figure sets. Due to Halo's great popularity, the line has been extended to include more characters, yet the figures are still in short supply. Their success is due largely to the close interconnection abilities of the figures with one another. Most maintain a 6" scale, and feature interchangeable weapons.

==Where To Buy==
The success of the figures is due largely to the close interconnection abilities of the figures with one another. Most maintain a 6" scale, and feature interchangeable weapons. A more popular feature, introduced by [[McFarlane Toys]], allows the figures to interchange armor with each other, allowing the owner to create customized armor.

[[Joyride]] Studios produced the Halo: Combat Evolved Action Figures. There were 5 series (without counting Mini-sets and exclusives). Joyride included a serial number on each figure designating when it was created. This date code has four numbers followed by 'SS' stamped or embossed in the cardboard packaging. The first three digits represent 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).

Marine action figures from Joyride, Halo: CE era.
Spartan action figures from McFarlane, Halo 3 era.

Joyride Studios created a line of Action Figures for Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 starting in 2003. In March 2008, the Todd McFarlane company began producing the Halo 3 Action Figure sets.

The success of the figures is due largely to the close interconnection abilities of the figures with one another. Most maintain a 6" scale, and feature interchangeable weapons. A more popular feature, introduced by McFarlane Toys, allows the figures to interchange armor with each other, allowing the owner to create customized armor.
