Let's check out another Harry Potter figure tonight from Star Ace - Ginny Weasley! She adds to the shelf of teen wizards in my display, and you can find my review here:

Well after doing a couple decent releases, we are back to this. I figured it wouldnt be that great just by their proto images not looking like her, and now our pics confirm that. Thanks for the review once again.
 
Always enjoy reading your reviews and seeing the accompanying pictures, but this figure :monkey4...yet another big step backwards unfortunately. Still I agree at least the box art/design is nice...I am so glad I didn't pre-order this one.
 
Am I mistaken, or are most of her accessories reuses? Aren’t the book bag and books the same ones that came with First Year Hermione? And the broom with First Year Harry? And of course, the costume is a reuse as well. Pretty bare-bones release to justify $210. Just a new head, wand, and hands (unless those too are reused from an earlier release?).
 
I can kind of see Ginny in there, it's just hard to justify what you can kind of see at $200-$210+. If this was from a company that did not have the license and was priced at $120 it wouldn't hurt so much.
 
Star Ace clearly does not care about this line...wonder why they don't just call it a day...
 
This one is particularly bad... the rooted hair could work, but it has to be done better and the sculpt needs to be designed so the head doesn't look so weird.

And yeah, a lot of reuse so really no excuse for the unique thing (the head) to be so bad.
