The ''Halo'' line of '''action figures''' began in 2003, made by [[Joyride Studios]], who produced the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and most ''[[Halo 2]]'' lines. In March 2008, the Todd [[McFarlane]] company began producing the ''[[Halo 3]]'' action figure sets. Eventually, they began making the ''[[Halo Wars]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' series figures, with the occasional ''Halo 2'' figure. It was revealed at the Comic Con 2010 that [[Square Enix]] would be producing figures from ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. | The ''Halo'' line of '''action figures''' began in 2003, made by [[Joyride Studios]], who produced the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and most ''[[Halo 2]]'' lines.

Joyride included a serial number on each figure designating when it was created. This date code has four numbers followed by 'SS' stamped or embossed in the cardboard packaging. The first three digits represent the date the product was made, and the fourth digit is the year. For example: 2653SS means the product was manufactured on the 265th day of 2003 (9/23/2003). | Joyride included a serial number on each figure designating when it was created.
