That's...how the hair is supposed to look?

Assuming the HP franchise was set up like most other major franchises at the time, they should already have it. It was pretty standard practice, and for the most part still is, for actors to sign over the likeness rights for merchandising and collectibles when they signed the contract for the...

Sales would be higher if they had, that's for sure.

I'm a big fan of Craig Ferguson. It saddened me when he went off air, because when I was in college (and even after graduating), I'd stay up until 1:30 in the morning to watch him on The Late Late Show and still make it to a 7:30 class. Oh, to have that energy again. I read his book that came...

This is what I was thinking - maybe the license was cheaper just for the region. They can still sell globally through Kit and Giantoy and whoever, they just can't sell direct around the globe, which, as long as we get the figures, who cares. Might be a way for them to raise money early on to...

This is why I'd like to see Lupin/Malfoy/Neville. Short hair. If they wanted to continue the line, they could even offer *just* sculpted versions of the figure. While people might be annoyed at having sculpted hair on these characters if they went rooted everywhere else, it's still an...

Brutal if they don't do McGonagall. Would be really nice to have the core three professors to go with the Golden Trio. Order of the Phoenix is both my favorite book and film, and would have loved if they managed to get deep enough with the line to make Neville, Ginny and Sirius. Guess high...

I don't know if they're still sold there, but there was a time when people were buying Hot Toys in Disney World. I guess when you're tens of thousands of dollars deep on a vacation, what's another $300?

I truly don't understand how this works. The license is WB's to hand out, right? Why wouldn't they want to increase the reach on sales for these? I'd imagine sales would double on whatever they've sold if they were at Sideshow, and probably triple if they were sold in places like Universal...

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you beat that **** soon.

Would have preferred Gambon as well but Harris still works to represent the character on the shelf. I think Harris fit the tone of the first two movies perfectly, he was a much gentler Dumbledore which fit the relationship he has with a younger Harry, and the more lighthearted nature of those...

The hair on this figure is going to be way more labor intensive than Harry and Ron, thus why the price is similar and there's less accessories. The only thing I would have liked was a version without the diorama base. I didn't get the deluxe on Harry and Ron, mostly because I have nowhere to...

Any interest in doing the Council Chamber floor like what Hot Toys has for the Fisto figure? Could go well with all the Jedi they’ve done - Fisto, Windu, Qui-Gon, Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka. Maybe more if they put a few more out. Might even be able to do different positions on the floor...

I actually think the likeness is almost perfect. It’s an incredible sculpt and they nailed the hair. The knees are the weak point but as was said, I would prefer that to a seamless route that will break down in few years. I hope they leave it as is, it’s barely visible.

That's the thing - if they work with another brand, the figures come out ok. They worked on Ciri and Geralt (I believe) with Master Team and Captain Barbossa with Tough Guys. There's probably others I can't think of off the top of my head. I don't see another brand attached to this one, so I...
