I think the dread pirate might just come home if I see it in the wild.
Dig the way how they made Andre The Giant look in this wave. But I'll pass overall.

Since a line like this is all about Nostalgia I would say 30yrs is just about right, though McFarlane is the first to do figures based on this movie.

Shown below are official images and details for the new 7" figures coming from McFarlane Toys for the classic The Princess Bride movie. You can pre-order these at both our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com or EntertainmentEarth.Shown are the following figures:
- Dread Pirate Roberts which includes a sword and base.- Inigo Montoya which includes a sword and base.- Princess Buttercup (Red Dress) which includes soft-goods dress and base.- Fezzik which is a MegaFig and includes a rock and peanut.Look for these to be released in November 2021.
They look great. My Only critique is the Fezick has too much of a 5 oclock shadow and he did not have that in the film.
Yikes! Well, I was excited. Wesley's head might be a bit small for this body (hard to tell from this pic) but if he comes with an R.O.U.S., I'll let it slide. The sword of the 6 fingered man is way off. Princess Buttercup, doesn't look too great. As for Andre the Brute Squad...well, I'm sure that's a good likeness of somebody, but it ain't Andre. Take a peek at some of Mattel's Andre figures, Todd. May have to just do a WWE Elite Andre head swap with this one as the body looks good.
These look great and Im planning on picking up all 4.
I am curious though didnt Diamond announce not that long ago that they were going to be making Princess Bride figures???? I want to say that announcement was fairly recent (like maybe early 2020). What ever happened to those and how did McF get the license so quickly. Im not complaining as I think Id rather get these 4 versus the 1 or 2 we would have gotten from Diamond but Im just curious about what happened.
Westley is the Zorro custom I've wanted for a while. Definite buy for me.
Might could use the Buttercup head to try an Antiope custom.
