McFARLANE TOYS AND EPIC GAMES PARTNER TO LAUNCH FORTNITE PREMIUM COLLECTIBLE FIGURES AND MORE

TEMPE, ARIZONA, — July 30, 2018 — McFarlane Toys today announced a new partnership with Epic Games to create a range of Fortnite™ premium collectible figures, related accessories and resin statues, in a deal brokered by IMG.

The new Fortnite branded collection will feature seven-inch premium figures from the Fortnite franchise and high-end accessories.

"The Fortnite brand has taken on global status and continues to grow each day. The game, with its sense of skill and irreverent fun, now has hundreds of character options to choose from, which is a tremendous blueprint for making any successful toy and action figure line,” said Todd McFarlane, CEO and Founder of McFarlane Toys.

Chucky has been revived! Due to a mishap at the Play Pals’ factory, Chucky has been given a new lease on life and a new opportunity to take over an unsuspecting soul.

The Mezco Designer Series Talking Pizza Face Chucky features an all-new head sculpt, depicting Chucky’s mutilated face after a run in with the Grim Reaper’s scythe in the “Devil’s Lair”.

Just as he did in the films, Chucky has lots to say from his trademark “Hi, I’m Chucky, and I’m your friend till the end!”, to far more sinister phrases.

From the mind of Matt Groening, comes the 10-episode adult animated comedy fantasy series, Disenchantment. Viewers will be whisked away to the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, where they will follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.

Check out a few photos from their Panel & Signing at SDCC 2018.

The series features the voice talents of Abbi Jacobson (“Bean”), Eric Andre (“Luci”), and Nat Faxon (“Elfo”) along with John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, David Herman, Matt Berry, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding, and Lucy Montgomery.
