The new figures in the lineup include Princess Buttercup in her wedding dress and Vizzini with two chalice accessories. Indeed, the Vizzini action figure you've always wanted has finally arrived, and he's ready to engage in a battle of wits with Dread Pirate Roberts for the Princess Buttercup figure launched in Wave 1.  A full breakdown of pre-orders for The Princess Bride McFarlane Toys Figures in Wave 2 can be found below.

The first wave of figures in McFarlane Toys The Princess Bride collection included Dread Pirate Roberts, Princess Buttercup, Inigo Montoya, and Fezzik, all of which are also available to pre-order here at Entertainment Earth priced at $24.99 to $39.99. The figures are 7-inch scale, which explains why Andre the Giant's Fezzik towers above the rest of the cast.

Each of The Princess Bride figures in Wave 1 features up to 22 points of articulation, and character specific accessories like swords for Westley and Inigo, and fabric skirt for Princess Buttercup. However, Fezzik has the best accessories of all – a peanut and a rock.
