MEDICOM TOY


From the latest installment in the Fantastic Beasts series
Introducing a magizoologist battling dark wizards


Text by SHINNO Kunihiko




The Fantastic Beasts series, set in the same Wizarding World as the Harry Potter films and notable for being scripted by original author J.K. Rowling herself, continues to captivate audiences. From the second film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, comes Newt Scamander, the protagonist who travels the world, now realized as a MAFEX figure. Newt, a magizoologist and Hogwarts alumnus, is portrayed by Eddie Redmayne, winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor for The Theory of Everything. MAFEX meticulously recreates Newt's charm from the film with interchangeable head parts featuring two different expressions, along with accessories like his suitcase.

Particularly noteworthy is Newt's costume, designed by the same staff who won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for the Harry Potter series. His ensemble, featuring a Chesterfield coat—updated from the previous film's blue to charcoal gray—along with a bow tie, vest, and lace-up boots, perfectly embodies the quintessential British gentleman.

Jude Law joins as the new Dumbledore, and Johnny Depp as Grindelwald in this installment. What fate awaits Newt as he pursues the powerful dark wizard Grindelwald, following a special mission from his mentor Dumbledore, alongside his magical creatures? Relive the excitement of the film with this fully articulated figure.

Born in Britain, Newt is a magizoologist and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He comes with a wand and two types of suitcase parts. By swapping the coat parts, you can recreate the scene where he is inside his suitcase.


The magical creatures Niffler and Bowtruckle are also included. The Niffler, with its long snout perfect for digging, loves anything shiny. The twig-like Bowtruckle is quiet and shy; Pickett, named by Newt, usually resides in his breast pocket.
