McFarlane Toys/Halo: Reach Series 1
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings The McFarlane Toys Halo: Reach Series One action figures are a series of five-inch figures based on the characters of Halo: Reach campaign.[1] They were released September 14, 2010. Halo: Reach figures are on a slightly different scale than the previous Halo 3 figures. Spartan figures are slightly taller, even though they are Spartan III's, which are supposed to be smaller than Halo 3's Spartan II's. Covenant figures, such as the Grunts and Elites, are also larger. Regular human figures, such as the Army troopers, are about the same size as the Spartan figures of Halo 3, larger than the Halo 3 humans.
Campaign
Noble Six
The Noble Six action figure comes with a MA37 Assault Rifle and a Frag Grenade. The figure is in original, non-customized form and features 26 points of articulation. Despite it being said to be the original form, this figure actually has the UA helmet attachment, TACTICAL/UGPS wrist attachment and FJ/PARA knee guards on it, with a Gold (or possibly default) visor, and also has its secondary coloring as white. This is the original version of Noble Six, before he/she was made fully default to avoid the player having a set image of the character. Additionally, since the Noble Six character is meant to be 100% customizable, it could be seen that all the multiplayer Spartans are variations of Noble Six.
Noble Five
The Noble Five action figure is based on the SPARTAN-II, Jorge-052. It is armed with a heavy machine gun and has 26 points of articulation.[2] While the majority of the other figures are only five inches tall, Jorge is instead six inches.[3] It also includes a removable backpack.
The hands were mentioned as being too small for the turret, and the backpack was difficult to attach together.[4]
Noble Four
The Noble Four action figure is based on Emile-A239 from Noble Team. It is armed with a M45 Tactical Shotgun and a Frag Grenade. The kukri knife can be placed in the figure's hand, but cannot store in the shoulder. It features 26 points of articulation.
The knife cannot be placed in the storage, and the arm joints cannot bend farther than a 90 degree angle, making it difficult to pose. Additionally, the shotgun did not fit very well in the hands of the figure, since the trigger finger is not separated from the rest of the hand.[5]
Elite
The Elite action figure is armed with a Needler and a Plasma Grenade, and is modeled after an Elite Minor. This figure is also six inches tall, as to "be imposing and scary".[3] It features 28 points of articulation. This Elite figure is about as big as the Ripa 'Moramee figure, so it's clearly on a different scale than the original line of figures from Halo 3.
Grunt
The Grunt action figure is modeled after the Ultra Grunts, and comes with a plasma pistol and plasma grenade. The Grunt figure stands at only four inches tall, as to put the other figures in proportion.[3] It features a removable gas mask, tank, and helmet and has 22 points of articulation.
Multiplayer
