McFarlane has announced two new dragons joining the McFarlane Dragons line in the next couple of months. Tied into their partnership with Warner Bros. we can look forward to the Hungarian Horntail as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Smaug from The Hobbit Trilogy.
Both dragons are 11 inches long and are fixed statues rather than articulated figures. Each sits on a diorama base appropriate to their movie sequences along with a nameplate. Interestingly the promo image for Smaug shows the name plate with the Lord of the Rings logo? They come in window boxes, with decor as dictated by their franchise merchandising with the white 'Wizarding World' design for the Horntail, and a darker green 'Middle Earth' inspired box for Smaug. They should be released in December 2023 in time for Christmas.
Harry returns for his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with his friends, Ron and Hermione. There is an upcoming tournament between the three major schools of magic, with one participant selected from each school by the Goblet of Fire. When Harry's name is drawn, even though he is not eligible and is a fourth player, he must compete in the dangerous contest.
Bilbo, Gandalf and a motley crew of dwarves continue their quest to retake the dwarf kingdom of Erebor from the dragon Smaug in Part Two of the 'Hobbit' trilogy. Facing danger at every turn from orcs, giant spiders, and even wood elves, the surly bunch make their way to Smaug's lair where untold treasure awaits...if the fire-breathing beast doesn't burn them to a crisp first.

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...
