The Halo Universe series is a continuation and rebranding of McFarlane Toys' Halo: Anniversary Edition Series.[1] It continues to bring fans classic, fan-favorite characters from earlier Halo games and "expanded universe" sources. It was to continue the "build-a-figure" feature of the Anniversary line,[1] but it was eventually not featured as McFarlane announced that some figures were canceled while others had been added.

Canceled figures[edit]
The only figure which was released as announced was the ODST Drop Pod figure with the Rookie. The series originally featured Fred-104 and Usze 'Taham as stand-alone figures, but they were repurposed as boxed sets including other figures. However, several figures have been canceled and were not featured at all: Romeo from Halo 3: ODST, an Elite Commando from Halo 3, a Brute Captain Major also from Halo 3, and a multiplayer Spartan which was not precised. There was also a "build-a-figure", but its nature was not revealed and it was canceled.[1] The series was originally known as "Halo Universe Series 1", but it was eventually redubbed simply as "Halo Universe", suggesting that the potential Series 2 was abandoned by McFarlane.
