===Master Chief===
===Master Chief===
The '''[[John-117|Master Chief]]''' action figure features game-accurate [[MJOLNIR|MJOLNIR Mark VI Battle Armor]] and the [[MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle]]. It is five inches tall, and has 18 points of articulation. The Master Chief sculpt differs from that of the other Spartans in this series due to the fact that it features no removable armor. The MA5C can also be attached to the figure's back via a peg which was included with the figure.  The right hand on this figure is designed specifically to hold the Assault Rifle and differs from later releases.

While the packaging specs indicate that this figure was supposed to come with a fragmentation grenade, this is an error as the inner-bubble contains no slot for the grenade to have been included.

===Brute Chieftain===
===Brute Chieftain===
The '''[[Brute Chieftain]]''' action figure features the Chieftain's updated ‘’Halo 3’’ [[armor]] and comes with a [[Gravity Hammer]]. It stands seven inches tall, and has 15 points of articulation.  It is the largest figure in the series. The bottom portion of the hammer is removable, which permits the Chieftain to wield it. The Chieftain's had forms a closed fist, so the only way to get the weapon in is to slide it through the top. This also means that the Chieftain cannot hold any other weapon.

The inner bubble for each Grunt was unique and had the figure at a different angle with a different weapon placement. The pegs included with this figure were not intended for use with the Grunt itself, but with other figures such as the Master Chief or other Spartans which could support storing the weapon on the leg.
