Official Harry Potter Figure Discussion Thread

Unfortunately, I think Star Ace is flailing at this point. The small young company may have bit off more than it can chew with this license. I hope they find a way forward, but based on what we've seen I struggle to be optimistic.

And I don't think the 1:8 line is going to be the life line they're hoping for. I just don't see much of any interest in the smaller figures, particularly when there's SO much more to do in 1:6 HP.

Any news on when Dobby will make it state side..?

Dobby has been in stock at Amazon, sold by Amazon not a third party, for a while now

Which is a shame because their best work is with the HP line. If thats not selling then theyre screwed.

Hi all,
There are two versions of Ron in the 1st year: The school uniform version & The casual wear version.
For the casual wear version, does it come with sorting hat or the chess set? I see that on the promo photos, sometimes it shows Ron comes with the sorting hat (and blue shirt), and some with the chess board (and red shirt). Are there two version of casual wear?

A little bump, does anyone have an answer for this? So do you guys own a 1st year Ron casual wear?

You might wanna look for the review at mwctoys.com for a definitive answer.

Just got an email from SS that Dobby is now delayed until Nov/Dec.

If I was a billionaire, I would buy the license agreement from Star Ace and commission Hot Toys for a new series of Harry Potter figures, would be awesome

The 1/6 Harry Potter line are being cleared at really cheap prices. I've seen Voldemort for less than $160AUD, when rrp is $280! This line is just not selling very well.

The first few figures were reasonably priced but then they took a quick, steep price jump and I think that is what has really hurt the line. Many figures are SCC or HT priced or above and the quality isn’t quite at the HT level yet. On par with SCC, but they too are notoriously overpriced at the moment for the quality of the final product.

According to some pics from NYCC it looks like we'll be getting a Lucius Malfoy figure.

Yey hurray.
Looks like Hermione is there too

 

[Underworld54]

Where are you guys getting this info?

Interesting to see Lucius there! And I hope Hermione being there means she should be almost ready to ship!

 

[DarthTrafford]

Who is in the upper right hand corner?
The person holding two knives.
It looks like Loki from Thor

1/8 scale Dementor before 1/6? Argh!

 

[The Green Goblin]

I don't understand why they keep showing that 1/8 Harry with the Firebolt, when they're not including it in the box.


Looking forward to seeing close up shots as the weekend progresses.

No pics of Hermione, but everything else is here.

Lucius look good. To bad the dementor is not 1/6. What film is that dementorlook from? The Hermionehead looks like the one we have seen before

WTH? I got a notice from Sideshow that my Dobby was delayed until Nov/Dec.
How is Amazon getting theirs first?
