The '''The Rookie Action Figure''' is based on the main protagonist, [[The Rookie]], from ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. It is six inches tall and features removable shoulder armor. It is the second ODST figure made by McFarlane. This figure includes a [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun]] and a ''Halo 3: ODST'' medal. The M7S uses the older design with the stock collapsed. The figure features 24 points of articulation.

The Rookie's armor color is Pantone 418C. This led to the original prototype appearing too green, and required that the paint application be adjusted. Additionally, the sculpt is confirmed to have a defect. Upon removal from the box, The Rookie's hands may fall off, due to the different joint used on the hand. This was later corrected. The new version has a white stripe on the helmet and a white chestplate, along with a darker visor, hands that don't fall off, and slightly higher durability. The armor is still somewhat green though, and the camouflage patterns are still greenish.

Originally, [[Joyride Studios]] considered making a figure of [[Rtas 'Vadum]], but thought it was pointless to make an Elite with a different paint job. He is called''' '''Rtas' Vadum'''ee''' on the package, despite the fact that he removed this suffix from his name after seceding from the Covenant. The Energy Sword appears to have a more purple color, as to the bluish color in the games.
