Well... I'm not too excited, but might lose my #$## once I see them. Not really a hardcore potterhead, but always glad to add figures from things I like to my collection

Also they will be doing high-end collectibles for the Wizarding World. Here is the official press release:McFarlane Toys, a global leader in the action figure industry, and Warner Bros.

Taking the iconic imagery from the Wizarding World and creating figures for everyone to take home is quite an honor for me.McFarlane Toys, known for its beautifully sculpted and painted figures and collectibles, is excited to partner with one of the most world-renowned franchises. As avid Wizarding World fans themselves, the McFarlane Toys team is ready to create the most realistic, detailed and character accurate figures for fans of all ages.
IMO, the problem with Harry Potter is thatmany of the main characters are toohuman. Having an adolescent dressed in a robe displayed on your shelf is just...off. Makes me wonder if this is why the disappointment calledFantastic Beasts was created/released in the first place. That is, to sell more toys.
