The Series 4 '''Master Chief''' action figure is modeled after [[John-117]], the protagonist the ''Halo'' trilogy. It comes with a [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]] and a [[Bubble Shield]]. This figure, like all other Master Chief figures, has weapon storage on Master Chief's back, waist, and leg. It is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and feet. The figure is about five inches tall. The figure is worth 10 Halo Points. | |||
It was noted that the Bubble Shield was uneven, making it difficult to stand on its own. Both the Rocket launcher and bubble shield are prone to breaking within a few days of purchasing.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/McFarlane-Halo-2009-Master-Chief/product-reviews/B001DYY0R6/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending '''Amazon.com''': ''McFarlane Halo 2009 Wave 1 Master Chief Customer Reviews'']</ref> | |||

His hands have been remolded so his fingers are hinged so putting the sword in his hand is easier than the [[McFarlane Halo 3 Series 2#Arbiter|Series 2 version]].

There was only one color released for the [[Combat Harness]]: tan, with yellow detail coloring. It comes armed with a [[Covenant Carbine]] and a [[Grav Lift]]. It stands 5 1/2 inches tall and is articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, waist, hips, knees and ankles. Like all other McFarlane figures, it includes removable armor, so it can be interchanged with other figures.

The fingers of the figure made it awkward for it to hold the Carbine, and further adjustments could lead to breakage of the figure. The feet were also not even, which made it difficult for it to stand alone.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/McFarlane-Halo-2009-Elite-Combat/product-reviews/B001DYWOE2/ref=dp_db_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 '''Amazon.com''': ''McFarlane Halo 3 2009 Elite Combat Customer Reviews'']</ref> | |||
