Quite a cool set overall, but not up to the standards I’ve seen, in other figures. I still prefer Toner, for “reality” of features. Can’t wait to see the next NECA set!

I don’t like how they decided to design Remus Lupin’s figure transforming into a werewolf. Sure, it’s a part of what he is but not who he is. (I suppose it makes for an exciting design, as far as marketing goes, however.)

I’m probably complaining about something really insignificant, but if I were to purchase a Prof. Lupin doll I’d like to see his gentle smile instead.

“Hufflepuff great Cedric Diggory,” Very unbiased and level reporting there Sue. ;) I know some people might see the likes of Victor and Fluer as dangerous in different ways but in all fairness in these pictures they look quite ‘armless.

I don’t usually comment on Leaky, because I don’t feel I usually have anything to say that hasn’t already been said.

However, I am leaving for NYC today and will be attending Toy Fair for work. I was able to take pictures in the NECA booth last year and will ask to do so again this year. The company I work for has done business with them this year, so they should like us :-)

I don’t know if I’ll get any pictures that are better than what you already see, but I could always give my take on the toys once I see them in person, if anyone is interested.

Cheers!

I want the Voldy doll. So evil….yet so cute somehow…..

Christina, I agree with you. If they were to make Lupin a werewolf fine, but this image although does resemble actor David Thelwis (sp). This image makes him seem deranged and horrible. I jumped back slightly since my mental image of the man is a gentle soul, with a mischeivous side.

I don’t like what I see: it could be the high resolution of the photo’s that distorts the figures, but I do have a few HP figures decorating my comp and these new releases won’t join tat company. Somehow it completely missed a likeness with the characters and in case of Harry and Cedric it went for a standard prettyboy. Lupin? sorry horrible. One never can expect a 100% likeness in a 6 inch figurine… but these make me shiver.

Very nice stuff, and this is coming from someone who usually can’t stand photo-realistic figures.

I still say someone should step up and make some animated-style toys, ala PoC, Star Wars, and Marvel. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

I see a Ginny bust! Awesome! Will buy when it’s available.

Whoa, I have got to get me a Remus!!!

The new Lupin bust is horrid looking. He looks completely demented LOL

I like how they got Bellatrix Lestrange’s crazy eyes and made Harry’s lip and facial features accurate. Also, how cool is it that the Fred character looks like James and the George character looks like Oliver?

Not that I’m biased towards the twins, mind you. ;)

The twin ones really are great! At first I didn’t think so, but after looking again, they really do look like James and Oliver Phelps. And did anyone notice how scarily perfect the McGonagall one is?

Remus looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Bellatrix looks so completely awesome. :) And the Weasley twins look really cute. haha :]

Oh, Tani Ann, I know! McGonagall is soooooooo perfect! :) But Harry looks nothing like him, haha. XD Which is weird. And Cedric looks really good. =]
