'''Joyride Studios''' is a company that produces Action Figures. It has been in business for over 55 years and has produced a wide array of collectors items, ranging from [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] cars to [[Wikipedia:Mech Warrior|Mech Warrior]] and [[Wikipedia:Battlestar Galactica|Battlestar Galactica]] feature action figures.  
'''Joyride Studios''' was a company that produced [[action figure]]s. It was in business for over fifty-five years, and produced a wide array of collector's items, ranging from [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] cars to [[Wikipedia:Mech Warrior|Mech Warrior]] and [[Wikipedia:Battlestar Galactica|Battlestar Galactica]] action figures.  


==Background==
In 2003, Joyride Studios linked up with [[Bungie Studios]] to create several Halo themed [[Action Figures]] for [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. Its original three figures; [[Halo 1 Master Chief v1 Action Figure|Master Chief v1]], [[Halo 1 Cortana Action Figure|Cortana]], and [[Halo 1 Warthog v1 Action Figure|Warthog v1]] were instant successes, both on [[Wikipedia:E Bay|E-Bay]] and in video game stores. Their success prompted more developments. In all, 5 series with 29 different Action Figures were released. In addition, seven more "exclusive" figures were released in select stores at select times. The lack of availability caused some of these figures to go up in price, sometimes into thousands of dollars.
Joyride Studios first made the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' figures in 2003. Because of their success, they also produced the ''Halo 2'' figures. The company was eventually replaced by [[McFarlane Toys]] in the production of the [[McFarlane Toys/Halo 3|''Halo 3'' Action Figures]]. Since then, the company has gone out of business,{{citation needed}} and their old website redirects to the Johnny Lightning website.

For [[Halo 2]], the Company has produced eight series with 41 total action figures. In addition, 22 exclusives have been made. The releases of the figures coincided with release of details about the game, as a [[Master Chief]] figure featuring two guns was released shortly after the [[Dual Wielding]] feature was announced, and the [[Brute]] action figure became available only after the Brutes' role in the game was revealed.


==Production==
In one of the [[Halo 3]] FAQs, [[Frank O'Connor|Frankie]] stated that it is "safe to assume" that Bungie and Joyride Studios will work together again to develop action figures for Halo 3. However, an [http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=6&show_article=1518&nl=1 article] on [http://www.figures.com Figures.com] stated that "JoyRide/RC2 announced at Toy Fair that their multi-year HALO 1 and 2 video game toy license contract had expired and that there were no new plans to renew."
