IncrediBuilds, a company known for its DIY model kits, has released two new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them kits. The two beasts you can now build at home include a Niffler and a Swooping Evil.

These magical beasts join a collection of Harry Potter themed IncrediBuilds models that the company already offers, including Aragog, Dobby, Buckbeak, and a golden snitch. IncrediBuilds describe their kits as:

“Do-it-yourself, customizable, freestanding models that are sure to delight fans of all ages. Each model is made of Earth-friendly, FSC®-certified wood, and all products include step-by-step directions and coloring and crafting ideas. No glue or tools necessary. Informative and interactive, both kids and adults can use these projects to explore their creativity and create unique, displayable art.”

Both of the new kits cost $16.99. This includes the model kit, an instruction guide and a supplemental booklet full of photography and illustrations from the Warner Bros. archives about the film.

According to MuggleNet:

“The Swooping Evil book, penned by Jody Revenson (the author of several other Potter tie-in titles), focuses on Magizoology. We learn about Newt, the inside of his case, the creatures’ magical habitats, and of course, the creatures themselves. Revenson’s text is peppered throughout with quotes from Eddie Redmayne about his experience playing Newt and his thoughts on the creatures he works with.”

The Niffler set tries to capture the personality of the nuisance (but cute) little beastie, with a love for all things shiny. Take a look at Mugglenet’s reviews of these Incredibuilds for more photos:

“The Niffler book, by Ramin Zahed, is a more general look at the world of Fantastic Beasts and includes short profiles of the film’s human characters as well as information about creatures. Appropriately, the Niffler’s antics also get plenty of attention in the text.”
