==Campaign==
===Rookie===
The The Rookie Action Figure is based on the main protagonist, 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.
It is worth 20 Halo Points.
===Rtas 'Vadum===
The Rtas 'Vadum Action Figure is a model of the Elite Shipmaster from Halo 2 and 3. It is 6 inches tall and includes an Energy Sword, a Plasma Grenade, and a Sword Spree medal.
Originally, Joyride Studios considered making an action figure of Rtas 'Vadum, but later believed it was pointless to make an Elite with a different paint job. He is accidentally called Rtas 'Vadumee on the package, despite the fact that he removed this suffix from his name after seceding from the Covenant, as did all of the Sangheili. The Energy Sword appears to have a more violet color, as opposed to the bluish color in the games.
===Brute Bodyguard===
The Brute Bodyguard Action Figure is based on the Brute Bodyguards from Halo 3: ODST.
It is six inches tall and comes with a Brute Shot and Spike Grenade, and features 28 points of articulation. The figure's Spike Grenade was noted for having a thin handle, making it potentially fragile.Amazon.com: Halo 2009 Wave 3 - Series 6 Brute Bodyguard Customer Reviews
===Grunt===
The Grunt (Red) Action Figure came in the form of the Major Grunts in Halo 3. It is six inches tall, and comes armed with a Plasma Pistol, a Plasma Rifle (despite the fact that Unggoy never use Plasma Rifles in any Halo game), a Plasma Grenade, and a Double Kill Medal. It also features 22 points of articulation. The breathing apparatus can be removed from the face of the Grunt, displaying sharp teeth.
It is worth 15 Halo Points.
===Flood Stalker Form===
The Pure Form Stalker Action Figure is based on the Pure Forms from Halo 3. It is six inches tall and has 24 points of articulation. The arm joints of the figure are weak, causing it to break easily.Amazon.com: Halo 2009 Wave 3 - Series 6 Flood Pure Form: Stalker Customer Reviews It includes an Incineration Medal, likely because this form is highly vulnerable to fire.
It is worth 30 Halo Points.

The white Recon figure has multiple errors in its design, including shoddy painting and fragile limbs. The dual magnums have pegs on the same side; if they were both to be holstered on the figure, one of the weapons would be backwards. Additionally, the magnums are not scaled to fit in the hands of the figure.Amazon.com: Halo 2009 Wave 3 - Series 6 Spartan Soldier Recon Customer Reviews
