Template:Ratings Template:New Content The McFarlane Series 8 action figures were produced by McFarlane Toys. It features figures from Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo 3: ODST. They are set to be released in June 2010.[1]

The series is unique in that McFarlane based the figures off of fan requests.

Campaign

Brute Captain

The Brute Captain figure is based off the Brute Captains from Halo 3: ODST. It is unique in that appears in the manner one would see them in VISR mode. It is armed with a Brute Plasma Rifle and Spike Grenade.

Additionally, it is painted with glow-in-the-dark paint.

Buck

The Buck action figure is based off of Edward Buck. He is in his ODST armor and is armed with a MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System.

The body is an updated mold of the Rookie's body, due to complaints about parts falling off, etc. However, there is still no weapon storage available, and the paint job actually makes him look quite unlike his counterpart in the game.

The figure also includes an oversized ODST helmet that can be taken off. When taken off, you can see Buck's face.

Master Chief

This Master Chief figure is based off the Master Chief from Halo 2. It is equipped with dual Brute Plasma Rifles.

Dare

The ONI Operative Dare figure comes with no helmet. It includes a M6C/SOCOM, and two Frag Grenades. It is an exclusive to GameStop.

Ripa 'Moramee

The Ripa 'Moramee figure is based off of the Arbiter from Halo Wars. It is armed with dual Energy Swords. He is taller than the average Elite, but the mold makes him difficult to pose. His energy swords are also hard to remove, even more so than the Arbiter figure from Series 2

UNSC Marine

The UNSC Marine figure is based off the UNSC Marines that appear in Halo 3. It comes with a Battle Rifle.

Multiplayer

Elite Ascetic

As of now, there is only one color for the Ascetic Harness: silver, with red as a secondary coloring. This figure comes with dual Spike Rifles. Like all other McFarlane figures, you can interchange armor between the figures.

It is the first figure to come in the Ascetic Harness.

Elite Combat

The Elite Combat figure comes in an orange color. It includes dual Spike Rifles and is an exclusive to Toys 'R' Us in the US and Canada.

Spartan EOD

The Spartan EOD comes in a white color, with green detail coloring. This figure is armed with dual SMGs and is an exclusive to Specialty Stores.

Spartan Mark IV

The Spartan Mark IV figure is based off the Halo Wars multiplayer figure. It is black in color and is equipped with dual SMGs.
