McFarlane Screams JUMANJI!!

McFarlane Movie Maniacs Jumanji Dr. Xander Smolder Bravestone 01

When I saw the logo with McFarlane's name underneath.. I got very excited. Visions of a scraggly, jungle-bitten Robin Williams instantly flooded my head along with other possibilities. The little boy with the monkey tail... the hunter with a giant crocodile... David Alan Grier battling sentient monster vines... Kirsten Dunst fleeing giant spiders... THIS LINE COULD BE AMAZING. Then I saw the pictures.

McFarlane's Movie Maniacs Adds More Non-Maniacs

McFarlane Movie Maniacs Logo
Yes, folks, the tears are real. Some years back, McFarlane Toys announced a relaunch of their legendary Movie Maniacs action figure line. The fact that the announcement came with no hint of a release schedule or a nudge toward character selection didn't bother die-hard fans much, as the sight of that logo on the walls of their Toy Fair booth alone was enough to generate excitement. Flash forward to 2023 and McFarlane proudly announces their first wave of modern Movie Maniacs, kicking things off with.... Bugs Bunny, Harry Potter, The Wicked Witch of the West, and the genuinely terrifying ....Ted Lasso. McFarlane clarified that rather than returning to the depths to explore horror's most fiendish fiends, their new Movie Maniacs would celebrate 100 years of Warner Brother's movie icons. So...why the moniker "Maniacs"? I'm gonna guess the answer is "Why not?"
