The McFarlane Halo: Anniversary Edition figures are a series of five-inch action figures made by McFarlane Toys, based off of the characters from the Halo series in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the 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.[1][2] Despite being the second wave of the anniversary figures, this series is called Series 1, while the first wave is called Series 1 - Advance.
Individual Carded Figures[edit]
Master Chief[edit]

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.
