“Napoleon Dynamite and action figure may seem like an oxymoron, but
McFarlane Toys has the appreciation and understanding of this character and the
film to create some truly fun and highly appealing toys,” said Peter Byrne,
Executive Vice President, Licensing, Twentieth Century Fox Licensing &
Merchandising. “There is a huge pent up demand for merchandise for ‘Napoleon
Dynamite’ and a McFarlane action figure will be a ‘must have’ for all
fans.”

This week, Fox Licensing & Merchandising and McFarlane Toys
announced a new licensing agreement bringing a “sweet” line of action figures
spotlighting the film’s quirky anti-hero Napoleon Dynamite, his mustachioed
sidekick Pedro Sanchez and chatroom-junkie brother Kip.

“This is the new
generation’s cult classic film; fans will be repeating the lines over and over
just like my generation did with three or four movies when I was 13,” said
McFarlane Toys founder Todd McFarlane. “My goal is to showcase the main
characters of the movie and reward the fans with some of the more memorable and
unforgettable scenes in action figure form.”

The new line of Napoleon
Dynamite from McFarlane Toys will be hitting shelves this fall.
