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 ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Action Figures]]. Since then, the company has gone out of business, and their old website redirects to the Johnny Lightning website.

In 2003, Joyride Studios linked up with [[Bungie Studios]] to create several ''[[Halo]]'' themed action figures for ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Its original three figures were instant successes, both on [[Wikipedia:E Bay|E-Bay]] and in video game stores. Their success prompted more developments. In all, five series, with twenty-nine different action figures, were released. In addition, eight 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.

For ''[[Halo 2]]'', Joyride produced eight series with forty-one total action figures. In addition, twenty-two exclusives have been made. The releases of the figures coincided with the release of details about the game, as a [[John-117|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 Brute's role in the game was revealed.
