Got my Fantastic Beasts Newt figure last week...I think he turned out pretty good given Star Ace's recent efforts! Couldn't find a Fantastic Beasts 1/6 thread so thought I'd post a couple of pics here...

Looks pretty good, thanks a lot for sharing!

I want one too, but still not sure how to feel about Star Ace stuff

Now that (at least I think) we have a reasonable stand in for teen Hermione, we need someone to competently paint this:



...so that we can get rid of the abomination sitting on these shoulders:



Just when you thought Star Ace couldn’t sink any lower in terms of head sculpt quality....Ron Weasley:

Hey Baggins - could you drop a few more natural light shots? I'm curious how the paint scores up against other things I've got. I'm tempted with this guy but I haven't seen "the picture" that's done it for me.

Same here

I want it to be like on the left, but I'm afraid the right option is more likely

That is bad! WTH is going on with Star Ace and these Harry Potter figures?

I'll try! I'm not the best at taking pictures of figures (I really need to learn how to use my camera!) Here are a few I took around midday today whilst it was quite light, not sure if they'll be of any help but might give you more of an idea...

Do Hot Toys' hands fit on the Star Ace bodies? I may replace my Newt's body if not.

oh wow they did a rhonda rousey figure?

 

[ryguyslytherin]

Well I guess if Star Ace doesn't release a McGonagall in this scale it looks like Mattel is doing so

Wow. those look great, especially Ron

 

[The Green Goblin]

Mattel has the license again?

Mattel has the license again?

Evidently so, found this last night popping up on foreign HP News sites and some online toy/collectible sites with a November release date. Apparently there are also Fantastic Beasts ones coming as well. I have no idea what the license Mattel has entails. I have seen a lot of HP items popping up in store computer systems this year and it looks like Funko is releasing a smaller figure line similar to the Stranger Things or Batman lines due to the price point and description. It's nice to see WB and Jo Rowling being a bit more open with the licensing as time progresses and spreading out different figural licenses instead of just one Master Toy License. Ive heard rumblings of some JAKKS big figs of HP and FB characters as well in Q4 of the year.

This is cool for mass market collectors but I wish SA would at least release a McGonagall and/or Bellatrix as to have some more important HP females on the shelves.

Oh, that's interesting. I'd love if Figuarts or even MAFEX would put out 6 inch figures. Star Ace is just squandering the license, it'd be nice if they had competition to deal with.

A hot young McGonagall

 

[Buttmunch]

Her outfit doesn’t look half bad at least.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Malfoy is coming with Dobby now if you buy the bundle version.

Dementor is coming too.

 

[Oola]

The 1/8 Dementor

 

[The Green Goblin]

The 1/8 Dementor

Oh man, you're right. Thought it was 1/6 because it would make sense to release a Dementor while your POA Harry is on the market.
