McFarlane had been hinting on the return of their Movie Maniacs Series for a couple of years now, and as part of their 2023 Summer Showcase they finally revealed the first product from the relaunch of the series.
Unlike the previous 7-inch line, the new incarnation of Movie Maniacs is going to be 6-inch in scale. Rather than figures, the Movie Maniacs will be posed statues. And rather than predominantly Horror based - the new 'Maniacs' will take characters from a myriad of movie (and now TV) sources and genres.
The line launches with a celebration of 100 years of Warner Brothers and brings us statues of Harry Potter, The Wicked Witch of the West from Wizard of Oz, Bugs Bunny as Superman, and Ted Lasso. Each figurine comes with a diorama base, printed backdrop, art card, and a 'hidden surprise'. They will be packed in window boxes and include WB100 Anniversary artwork. The figures are limited with Harry Potter and the Wicked Witch limited to 10,000 pieces, Ted Lasso is 20,000 pieces, and Bugs Bunny is the shortest in terms of production at 7,500 units. All four Movie Maniacs are due for an April 2023 release.
Harry Potter is mysteriously entered into the Triwizard Tournament, a grueling contest among three wizarding schools in which he confronts a dragon, water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in Lord Voldemort’s grasp. All will change when Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and face challenges beyond their imagining. Product Features:

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
