New York Comic-Con took place this weekend, where many toy and collectible manufacturers displayed some of their new products for the upcoming year. Among those at the event was Gentle Giant, makers of fine statues and mini-busts. Cool Toy Review has the first look at what is a statue of Ron Weasley in his Quidditch uniform from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Also new from Gentle Giant is a special “Harry Potter Quidditch Box Set” that is due out this fall as well. In addition, you can see some additional photos of previously reported new products due, including the Tonks, Lupin, and large sizes of Harry and Lord Voldemort from “Goblet of Fire.” UPDATE: If you were having trouble seeing the photos, they are also now available here in our galleries.
Other vendors there included NECA, who displayed action figures we’ve reported on previously; new “Half-Blood Prince” figures are not being displayed for the time being. Also present were Tonner, makers of the high end collectible Harry Potter toys, and Cool Toy Review has another look at their new Kreacher doll, as well as additional looks at Snape, Voldemort and more here via this link.
Thanks much to Cool Toy Review!
LOL spy camera maybe lol vert cool though i wonder if the person who took the pic had a to beat a hasy retreat.! lol as for kreacher being in it he has 2 chances 1. if the do the whole dumble door picking up harry from the dursleys and harry finding out he is Sirus’ heir or they keep inthe part where harry has Kreacher and Dobby follow Draco i hope for both causei wanna see Dobby in HBP not just in DH where he saccrifices his life to save the trio as well as Dean, Luna and Mr. Olivander. As for the ron in Quiditch Robes, YES!!!!! this is as close as we have gotten to a verification of Quiditch in HBP
The Bust Up set of the Quiditch set will be in two parts and both are available for pre order right now on http://www.bigbadtoystore.com as well as the Harry Potter/Dumbledore year two figures. Also many of the Gentle Giant busts from earlier sets are on clearance. I got the Draco Malfoy for $29.95 and the Harry Potter for $32.95. It’s really a shame that the set of Fred and George Weasley busts will only be available at the New York Comic Con and maybe the San Diego Comic Con, but not through the normal channels like Big Bad. But there a lot of other Neca Harry Potter sets also available now on BIg Bad. I use them all the time as they are fast, honest and lower prices than normal. The stuff always arrives in A1 condition.
Glad somebody broke the rules and took a photo for us to see!
