The McFarlane Halo: Anniversary Edition figures are a series of five-inch action figures made by McFarlane Toys, based off of the characters from the Halo series in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the first game's release. Each figure (with the exception of the series' Boxed 3-Packs) comes with a part of the UNSC Insignia. They are set to be released in March 2012. This is the third wave of Anniversary Edition figures from McFarlane Toys.

Individual Carded Figures

"The Package" Master Chief (Halo Legends)

This version of the Master Chief figure was based off of the Halo Legends anime character. It has a more animated style mold and a new paint job to match John-117 in the anime. It comes with an Assault Rifle, a Frag Grenade, and the globe piece of the UNSC Logo.

Captain Jacob Keyes (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)

This figure is based off of Captain Keyes' new look in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It comes with a Magnum and the banner piece of the UNSC Logo.

Spartan Mark VI (white/blue) (Halo 2)

This figure is based off of the Halo 2 multiplayer Spartan. It has the standard Mark VI armor with white and blue coloring. It comes with a Battle Rifle, a Frag Grenade, and the left wing piece of the UNSC Logo.

Sentinel and Guilty Spark (Halo 3)

This pack includes a Sentinel and a 343 Guilty Spark figure. The Sentinel has articulated appendages and weaponry, while Guilty Spark features a reversible eye that can be changed from blue to red, depicting rampancy. Both figures come with a base and pole to give the appearance of them hovering. The pack also includes the right wing piece of the UNSC logo.

Mickey (Halo 3: ODST)

The Mickey figure is based off of the character in Halo 3: ODST. McFarlane has stated that it will be in the same scale as the other Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST figures "so Mickey won't look out of place with his teammates." The figure comes with a Rocket Launcher and the eagle piece of the UNSC logo.

Boxed 3-Packs

Spirit of Fire Red Team (Halo Wars)

This special Halo Wars boxed set features three heroic Spartan-IIs: Jerome, Douglas, and Alice, collectively known as Red Team. Each includes their own set of weapons: Jerome comes with a Spartan Laser, Alice comes with dual SMGs, and Douglas comes with a Shotgun.

 ==="The Package" Master Chief (Halo Legends)===
-We couldn't have a Halo Anniversary celebration without including the man who started it all: [[Master Chief]] himself. This all-new version of John-117 shows the hero as he appeared in the [[2010]] animated movie, [[Halo Legends]], and is our first figure inspired by the Halo "expanded universe" of animation, novels, and comic books. To truly capture Master Chief as he appeared in "[[The Package]]" chapter of Halo Legends, we've created an all-new sculpt that features a slightly more animated style, and updated paint that includes the distinctive white stripes and numbering as seen only in this thrilling adventure. Figure comes with [[Assault Rifle]], [[Frag Grenade]], and the globe piece of the UNSC Logo.

 ===Captain Jacob Keyes (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)===
-Our first UNSC officer figure is the first person players ever see in the original Halo video game: the commanding officer of the Pillar of Autumn, Captain [[Jacob Keyes]].

 ===Spartan Mark VI (white/blue) (Halo 2)===
-Back in [[Halo 2]], before the addition of [[armor permutations]], Master Chief's [[MJOLNIR]] [[Mark VI]] armor was the basis for all [[multiplayer]] [[Spartans]]. Our first Halo 2 multiplayer Spartan action figure takes collectors back to those days -- when about all you could do to customize yourself in [[matchmaking]] was change your primary and secondary armor color. Our multiplayer Spartan Mark VI features bright white armor with cool blue accents and comes equipped with the ever-popular [[Battle Rifle]], a Frag Grenade, and the left wing piece of the UNSC Logo.

 ===Sentinel and Guilty Spark (Halo 3)===
-The legacy of the most technologically advanced species in the Halo games, the [[Forerunners]], can be seen in everywhere you turn -- from the Halo array, to [[The Ark]], to the curious robotic constructs they left behind to monitor and protect their installations. Halo Anniversary Series 2 brings a pair of these ancient machines to your collection: [[343 Guilty Spark]] and a [[Sentinel]].

Is it a sign of justified aggression, or a symptom of [[AI]] [[rampancy]]? Figures include a base and poles so they can hover near your [[Flood]] figures, or assist any potential [[Reclaimers]]. Figures also come with the right wing piece of the UNSC Logo.
 ===Mickey (Halo 3: ODST)===
-The demolitions expert and pilot of [[Buck]]'s [[ODST]] squad joins our action figure lineup: [[Private First Class]] [[Michael Crespo]], better known as "Mickey." This new figure, clad in black ODST armor with red accents, is in scale with our previous [[Halo 3: ODST]] figures, so Mickey won't look out of place with his teammates. Figure comes with Mickey's signature weapon, the [[Rocket Launcher]]. Mickey also comes with the eagle body piece of the UNSC Logo.

 ===Spirit of Fire Red Team (Halo Wars)===
-This special [[Halo Wars]] boxed set features three heroic [[Spartan-II]]s: [[Jerome]], [[Douglas]], and [[Alice]], collectively known as [[Red Team]]. This trio of super-soldiers fought alongside the crew of the [[Spirit of Fire]], defending them from the dangers encountered on [[Shield 0459]]. Our Red Team 3-pack brings back the leader, Jerome-092, and completes the team with two never-before-released figures of Douglas-042 and Alice-130. Each includes some serious firepower to help them carry out their mission: Jerome comes with a [[Spartan Laser]], Alice comes with dual [[SMG]]s, and Douglas comes with a [[Shotgun]]. One Spartan is a force to be reckoned with, but a coordinated team of them is virtually unstoppable. Go back to [[2531]], before the [[fall of Reach]], and get the complete Red Team, all in one box!
