The ''Halo'' line of '''action figures''' began in 2003, made by [[Joyride Studios]], who produced the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and most ''[[Halo 2]]'' lines. In March 2008, the Todd [[McFarlane Toys|McFarlane]] company began producing the ''[[Halo 3]]'' action figure sets. They continued producing figures for most of the games that followed, including broader series dedicated to the rest of the ''Halo'' universe. In 2010, it was announced that [[Square Enix]]'s Play Arts Kai brand would also produce ''Halo'' action figures, beginning with ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Several other companies have also produced ''Halo'' figures. | The ''Halo'' line of '''action figures''' began in 2003, made by [[Joyride Studios]], who produced the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and most ''[[Halo 2]]'' lines.

McFarlane Toys produced numerous ''Halo'' figures, beginning with ''[[Halo 3]]'', and continuing with ''[[Halo Wars]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'' and various other figures from the ''Halo'' universe. They also produced figures from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', with the first series released in September 2010, and ''[[Halo 4]]'' in 2012.<ref>[http://www.spawn.com/news/news6.aspx?id=13664 '''Spawn''': ''MCFARLANE TOYS TO PRODUCE 'HALO: REACH' ACTION FIGURES'']</ref> Halo: Reach figures are on a slightly different scale than the previous Halo 3 figures. Spartan figures are slightly taller, even though they are [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]], which are supposed to be smaller than ''Halo 3'''s Spartan-IIs. Covenant figures, such as Grunts and Elites, are also larger. Regular human figures, such as the Army troopers, are about the same size as the Spartan figures of ''Halo 3'', larger than the ''Halo 3'' humans. ''Halo 4'' figures are of the same scale as the Reach figures, whereas the Didact figure is twice higher than a Spartan figure. | McFarlane Toys produced numerous ''Halo'' figures, beginning with ''[[Halo 3]]'', and continuing with ''[[Halo Wars]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'' and various other figures from the ''Halo'' universe.
