==Wave 1==
===Individual Packs===
====John-117====
The first announced figure from McFarlane was John-117, with his all new Mark VI armor in Halo 4. He includes an MA5D Assault Rifle. The figure received generally positive reviews from fans, praising the sculpt and paint, but many were not happy with the old school ball jointed hips.
====Elite Zealot====
343 Industries has kept the menacing and evil look of the Elites in Halo 4 and McFarlane makes them even more scary with their all new Halo 4 Elite Zealot action figure. This figure has bronze colored armor and carries an Energy Sword. This figure received probably the best reviews out of every Series 1 figure, praising the sculpt, paintwork, energy sword, size and articulation. In-game, the Zealots are more of an bronze-reddish color, while this figure is pure bronze.
====Grunt Storm====
The small, annoying, and loveable Grunts have been given new armor and a new rank. McFarlane's version of the Storm Grunt includes a Plasma Pistol and a removable helmet. This figure also received generally favorable reviews. While many were initially turned off by the controversial new design, many who did review the figure said it is probably the best Grunt figure thus far, and it is far more poseable than previous Grunts.
====Spartan Warrior (Red)====
The first multiplayer Spartan announced for Halo 4 by 343 Industries and the first Spartan figure made by McFarlane Toys is the Spartan Warrior. This figure has red colored armor and includes the SRS99-S5 AM Sniper Rifle of Halo 4. The figure also received generally positive reviews.
