{{Quote|With Halo Avatars, we wanted to do something as different as possible from our standard 6-inch figures. Those figures are big, game-accurate, heavily articulated, and serious. Our avatar figures are small, stylized, pre-posed, and playful. With a standard action figure, you know exactly what you're getting. With an avatar figure, each one is a surprise. And collecting a full series of our standard figures can be a significant investment, but an avatar figure is something any fan can afford.|Todd McFarlane}} | {{Quote|With Halo Avatars, we wanted to do something as different as possible from our standard 6-inch figures.

The line also includes various "prop" items, such as the [[M12 LRV|Warthog]]. The figures are 2 1/2 inches tall, and are randomly packaged in small plastic cylinders, the tops and bottoms of which can be removed and used as a display base{{Ref/Reuse|mc}}. The tubes themselves can be connected to form multi-level displays. Series 1 debuted in Fall 2012. | ||
Each tube is packaged with a slip of paper detailing the figurines in that particular wave on the inside and an identical warparound outer cover with the bar code. There are no codes or markings on the outer slip that can enable you to discern the identity of the figure inside. This practice is referred to as "Blind Box" or "Blind Bag" packaging and is a popular practice in many collectible minifigure lines. | Each tube is packaged with a slip of paper detailing the figurines in that particular wave on the inside and an identical warparound outer cover with the bar code.
