Hot Toys 1/6 Newt Scamander

[The Mike]

The last time I saw that with HT was a TFA Stormie which said Japan Exclusive but if I'm not mistaken it was carried via TRU. Although I might be mashing up a couple of different things in my recollection.

I think you are right. I vaguely remember some stormie that was only available at TRU over there. Most of the time Sideshow carries their exclusives but it’s the fact that we are hearing Japan exclusive and that we don’t know if Star Ace has exclusive 1/6th rights in certain markets that has me concerned. I don’t see why Hot Toys wouldn’t sell them over here if they could.

Rights in a certain region ultimately means nothing. It’s like when ACI did Lord of the Rings. I don’t recall what region it was locked to, but it ultimately got distributed everywhere through various sites.

Ok this exclusive talk is freaking me out. Has there ever been a figure by HT strictly limited to China in the MMS line?

Before Sideshow became HT's North American Distributor, all MMS were exclusive to Asia.
There were a few following I belive.

Even if this is exclusive to Asia (Which I'm doubting) I think it will be easy to find these for retail like all the past Asia excl. releases.

They probably have no interest in Harry, this was just an excuse to make another Depp figure. I’d be surprised to see anyone but these two made.

Wow, I want these two figures, I hope they're not exclusive.

better teeth than the Star Ace version ^^

TESB Vader was supposedly “exclusive” to Japan as well. Hot Toys demanded we pay 100% up front for it as well. Delayed the release until Japan was actually the last place in the world to receive their shipment. This will be available everywhere and the Japanese market will not only pay the highest amount for the figure, as usual, but will be the last to get it, too.

I doubt Vader had any licensing issues though. That was probably just HT marketing to create a false sense of rarity. Star Ace still appears to have the Fantastic Beasts license and HT may only be licensed to release these to Japan. That would seem a waste of money for such a small market on what must be a rather expensive license - especially one that appeals so much to American and European collectors.

Figure looks great, but am I the only one who can't stand this actor?

I can't stand Harry Potter stuff in general does that count?

Newt looks great in those new pics, was unsure when I first saw it but I want this now - please, please make them available to the rest of the world to order HT!

I wonder if the "exclusive accessory" versions will be available on Sideshow or if we will be stuck seeking other methods. There clearly is exclusive and non, which leads me to believe this could be a US release?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Looks like a full release. The ex will be the critters.

 

[Bacara]

What are the guesses for price of this and Grindelwald?
