The '''McFarlane Halo: Anniversary Edition''' figures are a series of five-inch [[action figure]]s made by [[McFarlane Toys]], based off of the characters from the ''[[Halo]]'' series in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the [[Halo: Combat Evolved|first game]]'s release. Each figure (with the exception of the series' Boxed 3-Packs) comes with a part of the difficulty plaque, which combines into the [[legendary]] difficulty icon. They were released in October [[2011]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/mcfarlane-toys-halo-figures-and-vehicles-for-fall-2011/53018 '''Halo Waypoint''' - McFarlane Toys: Halo Figures and Vehicles for Fall 2011]</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/gallery/mcfarlane-anniversary-figures/eb21db39-dfdf-43fd-b136-d857d89c05c6 '''Halo Waypoint''' - McFarlane Anniversary Figures]</ref> Despite being the second wave of the anniversary figures, this series is called Series 1, while the first wave is called [[McFarlane Toys/Halo: Anniversary Edition Series 1 - Advance|Series 1 - Advance]].
==Individual Carded Figures==
===Master Chief===
The '''[[John-117|Master Chief]]''' figure is based on John-117, the main protagonist of the ''Halo'' series. It features the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor that made an appearance in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and the left half of the [[Easy]] difficulty plaque. It is armed with an [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5B Assault Rifle]] and a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|frag grenade]]. It is made to scale with the Halo: Reach figures.
Despite the figure being based on Halo: Combat Evolved, the MA5B is the updated Anniversary version, painted like the one from Halo Wars. The figure also lacks poseability, as the joints cannot bend beyond 120 degrees.

===Arbiter===
The '''[[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]''' figure is based on the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Sangheili]] Thel 'Vadam, also known as the [[Arbiter]]. It features the ''[[Halo 2]]''-era Arbiter armor and the [[Combat knife]] of the [[Heroic]] difficulty plaque. It is armed with an [[energy sword]] and a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}. It's essentially a repaint of the Halo 3-era figure, so the mandible guards and flashlight are present. The Energy Sword seems to have been altered slightly to eliminate sharp points.
