'''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo 3|McFarlane Toys Halo 3]] Series 3''' has 24 different figures, the most in any series so far. Series 3's packaging is the same as Series 2, except with a different design. There are two types of card backs for Series 3: one with just an English description, and one with English, Spanish, and French descriptions. Both types are available in North America and other countries. Spartan figures now have a trigger finger, making it easier to fit weapons in their hands than in previous series. They are all worth 10 [http://spawn.com/halopoints/ Halo Points].

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.
