The HT photos are of the film characters not figures - so they are probably a long time coming. And like any good Hot Toys/Johnny Depp license - they'll reveal 2 figures but only release Depp.
I doubt it. They'll release Newt too. He's more popular than the Lone Ranger.

They've revealed the cosababies. Pre-orders for the figures are likely coming soon with the movie only 3 weeks away.

Star Ace stuff has definitely declined in the last couple of releases but they were the only name in the game. Hopefully HT even if they do 2 only (I don't see Grindelwald being a standalone - they'll definitely do one other knowing HT might be Dumbledore to work on the Jude Law sculpt that will eventually come for Captain Marvel and leave fans scratching their heads at no Newt) it might kick start a bit of competition and get a better product out of SA.
We might get Dumbledore but I can only see HT making Captain Marvel and maybe Nick Fury.
I’m in for any and all Hot Toys Harry Potter universe figures. Hopefully this isn’t a Lone Ranger repeat. Unlikely since HP has a much larger fan base.

I wouldn't mind a young Dumbledore figure. Just hope we get a couple of characters and not just one (Depp), I know how much you like your Johnny Depp figures Hot Toys, but we do need the other characters too!

Given that Grindelwald is the villain, I don't see HT making him and nothing else even if it is Depp. If Depp played a hero then sure but they'll make a counterpart to help off-balance. The question is whether it'll be Dumbledore or Newt. I don't see them making more than two unless this thing takes off in China.
The First Fantastic Beasts grossed much more money internationally than it did in the US. Korea and China were a decent chunk of that.

Anyone else seen this, saw it on one of the UK retailers sites. Looks like Star Ace are releasing a Newt 2.0 of sorts...

Looks to be the same figure as before only with a grey coat as a bonus accessory - limited to 300 pieces apparently.

Yep! Guess it's a quick, easy release for them, but same here - I'll be passing too. More interested to see what Hot Toys put out.

My guess is, just Newt and Grindelwald. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think I am.
I'd commission some custom sculpts for other FB characters if the outfits wouldn't be so expensive to also create. Can't cobble those together from already released items - that'd be full-on custom as well. Boo.
