The first figurines were released by \u003cb\u003ePiranha Studios\u003c\/b\u003e in 1999 and became globally famous for their irreverent, tongue-in-cheek humor, often bordering on shock value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigurines released between 1999 and 2008 by \u003cb\u003ePiranha Studios\u003c\/b\u003e (or later, OddCo) are considered part of the \u003cb\u003eOriginal Retired Series\u003c\/b\u003e and are highly prized by collectors worldwide. This \u003cb\u003eMr. Magica\u003c\/b\u003e figurine is a perfect example from that desirable early era, having been launched by Piranha Studios in 2003 and retired just two years later in 2005.
