The Wizarding World Figurine Collection is a detailed collectible line produced by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint starting in 2018.

Cronologia
Panoramica
Launched in 2018, the Wizarding World Figurine Collection was produced by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint.
Designed as a subscription and retail model line, it features hand-painted figurines crafted in 1:16 scale, with standard human figures averaging between 4 and 5 inches in height.
To achieve screen-accurate fidelity, sculptors worked directly with 3D digital assets provided by Warner Bros., capturing exact actor likenesses, costume textures, and iconic props. Positioned for adult collectors and Wizarding World enthusiasts, the collection spans both the original eight Harry Potter films and the Fantastic Beasts prequel series.
Storia
The line debuted in 2018 with a standard 1:16 scale issue series featuring central characters such as Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort, and Newt Scamander.
Over time, Eaglemoss expanded the range to include specialized sub-lines, including Magical Creatures, Museum Models, a Wizard's Chess collection, and 28 cm tall MEGA Resin Figurines depicting iconic characters like Hagrid and Harry Potter during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Line distribution suffered a major disruption in July 2022 when Eaglemoss went into administration (UK bankruptcy), halting direct subscription shipments. Between 2023 and 2024, Master Replicas and Heathside Trading acquired remaining warehouse inventories, completing distribution for collectors and releasing final production run figures.

Collezionismo
The Eaglemoss Wizarding World line holds strong appeal for collectors due to its uniform 1:16 scale, metallic resin weight, and broad coverage of both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts characters.
Following Eaglemoss's July 2022 administration, secondary market demand increased significantly for completed runs and rarer individual issues such as Werewolf Lupin or the MEGA statues. The takeover of warehouse stock by Master Replicas and Heathside Trading in 2023–2024 allowed collectors to acquire previously unreleased stock, turning final production runs into sought-after pieces for enthusiasts looking to finalize their collections.
Eaglemoss sculptors used Warner Bros. original digital film assets to ensure exact actor facial likenesses.
