"We are excited to be one of the first NBA teams to partner with McFarlane Toys," said Shawn Bennett, marketing and game operations manager for the Magic. "The lines at the gates are sure to be long for this unique collectible."

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. and doors open at 5 p.m. Tickets are still available for this game through ticketmaster.com or by calling 1800 4NBATIX.
