I can't believe how different they are. Which set is more movie-accurate?

[oxbeard]

Yeah, you would think there would be a much closer resemblance between the 2 since they are based off the same thing.

This has amazed me about certain other collectibles too. Huge differences between manufacturers even though both are supposed to be based off of the same thing.

[Darklord Dave]

I'd read somewhere that the NC ones are cast off the original props. I'd believe that, since the the Japanese ones look like they were sculpted from screen caps, or a 10th generation re-cast. But the same details are there on the Japanese ones, but they aren't as sharp and the sizing might be different.

[Darth Waller]

Fleur's wand has the biggest differences. The NC looks like it was carved from a piece of wood, whereas the Japanese wand looks like it was molded.

[Darklord Dave]

All of them except for Cedric's are very different, even Harry's and Ron's although both of those are basically sticks with a growth on the end. Krum's and Fleur's are definitely the most significant in their differences.

...now if they only worked...:duh

the NC pieces look much much better...

my favorite of them all so far is Voldemorts... it's a kick *** piece...

most of the Potter collection from the NC has been very good with the exception of the Triwizard Cup, the Goblet of Fire and the Golden Snitch... the 3 of those are kinda ehhh...

the scupltures of Dobby, Buckbeak, Fluffy, Hedwig, and Fawkes are excellent...

Do any of these possess the magic to get rid of Michael Gambon (new Dumbledore)???

Thanks for the pics.....I'm going with NC

[Collector Freak]

The Japanese versions look way too large. Horrible. :sick

I think Snape's wand has the power to get rid of Dumbledore...

[Darklord Dave]

I just got the rest of the NC wands, now I have all of them. Draco's is incredibly boring, basically just a dowel. I think the best of all of them are Dumbledore's, Voldemort's and Sirius's.

But how did Sirius get his wand back after being in Azkaban? I'd have thought they'd break it when he's arrested.
