{{Era|RW}}
The '''Halo Universe''' series is a continuation and rebranding of [[McFarlane Toys]]' [[McFarlane Toys/Halo: Anniversary Edition Series 1|Halo: Anniversary Edition Series]].<ref name="mc">[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/01/19/McFarlane-Toys-to-Create-Halo-4-Action-Figures.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' ''McFarlan Toys to Create Halo 4 Action Figures'']</ref> It continues to bring fans classic, fan-favorite characters from earlier ''[[Halo]]'' games and "expanded universe" sources. It was to continue the "build-a-figure" feature of the ''Anniversary'' line,{{Ref/Reuse|mc}} but it was eventually not featured as McFarlane announced that some figures were canceled while others had been added.

==Canceled figures==
The only figure which was released as announced was the ODST Drop Pod figure with the Rookie. The series originally featured Fred-104 and Usze 'Taham as stand-alone figures, but they were repurposed as boxed sets including other figures. However, several figures have been canceled and were not featured at all: [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]] from ''Halo 3: ODST'', an [[Commando harness|Elite Commando]] from ''Halo 3'', a [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Brute Captain Major]] also from ''Halo 3'', and a multiplayer Spartan which was not precised. There was also a "build-a-figure", but its nature was not revealed and it was canceled.{{Ref/Reuse|mc}} The series was originally known as "Halo Universe Series 1", but it was eventually redubbed simply as "Halo Universe", suggesting that the potential Series 2 was abandoned by McFarlane.
