Halo 3 figures Series 2 have now reached stores and the feedback is the trade is brisk and stock is clearing off the shelves as quick as they can be stacked.

Many collectors and gamers will be pleased to note that with these Halo 3 figures McFarlane's have listened to collectors and fans who have long been asking for more articulation on their figures.

This series of Halo 3 figures is by far the most articulated that McFarlane's have done and the results, from what I can tell so far, are excellent and it seems that everyone agrees.

McFarlane has added the extra articulation without sacrificing their usual high standards of detail and quality.

But be warned, collecting this lot could be expensive as there are several different versions of the Spartan with different Armor and different colors available, see below for further details.

The Halo 3 figures Series 2 line includes:

• Master Chief
• Spartan
• ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers)
• Brute Stalker
• Drone
• The Arbiter

Halo 3 figures Series 2 Master Chief Action Figure

The Master Chief is said to be the last surviving Spartan Soldier who has thus far, through a mix of luck and skill, survived the destruction of two Halo installations and numerous battles.

Seen by many as a hero and symbol of hope for humanity against the forces of the Covenant who are edging closer to the end of their "final journey" The Master Chief again seems himself having to take up the fight against humanities enemies.

Now, with the Covenant forces edging ever closer to their hallowed, and cataclysmic "final journey," it once again falls upon the Chief's mighty shoulders to take the fight to his enemies.

With weapons that will attach to his leg and back the Master Cief stands ready for combat.

Stands 5 inches tall. Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Includes Spartan laser and grenade.

The Spartans aren't just soldiers or fighters but the elite of the elite. Each Spartan is hand picked at a young age to be part of the secretive SPARTAN program.

These unique young men and women are humanities greatest fighting forc and weapon against the onslaught of the hated armies of The Covenant.

Transformed by science and a highly intensive training schedule the SPARTANS are taught, and only know victory.

halo 3 figures Series 2 ODST Action Figure

Who are the ODST?

The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) are an elite branch of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) special forces.

Comprised of an all-volunteer fighting force of some of the bravest men the UNSC has to offer, the ODST have served valiantly in many campaigns against the Covenant, including engagements on three separate HALO installations.

Figure stands 4 3/4 inches at top of head. Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles. Includes battle rifle.

Halo 3 Series 2 Brute Stalker Action Figure

Be mindful of your surroundings, for one never knows when one is being hunted. Invisible to all but the keenest of eyes, Brute Stalkers use light-bending technology known as active camouflage to approach their prey undetected, before unleashing destruction upon their unsuspecting enemies.

Stands 6 1/2 inches tall. Articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, hips, knees and ankles. Includes Spike rifle and removable helmet.

Halo 3 Series 2 Drone Action Figure

Another weapon in the mighty Covenant arsenal, Drones (or "buggers") are insect-like warriors that attack in swarms -- the buzzing static of their wings offering the only warning of their approach.

Drones are dangerous opponents in any battle, as their ability to fly offers them many angles from which to attack, and their erratic flight patterns make for difficult targets.

Figure measures 5 inches at top of head. Top wingspan measures 7 inches wide (both sets of wings pivot up and down). Articulated at shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles. Includes plasma pistol.

Halo 3 Series 2 Arbiter Action Figure

Though considered a high commander of the Elites, the Arbiter lost his honor among the Prophets when he failed to protect the first HALO.

Disillusioned by the reason behind the Covenant's war against humanity, the Arbiter leads the Elites when they align with the UNSC.

Measures 5 1/8 inches at top of head. Articulated at top and base of neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Includes energy sword.
