Official Harry Potter Figure Discussion Thread

That dementor is so damn frustrating, The logo on the bottom is wrong and the head sculpt is so confusing. What is going on there? I've been archiving HP production materials for years and I have never seen a reference photo for what is under the Dementor's hood to have eyeholes. The most I've seen is a skull that is rounded with a hole for a mouth and that is it. It looks like an Alien from Indiana Jones.

These multiple packs are such an odd concept considering GOF Harry never came into contact with a Dementor (in the films) let alone a GOF Voldemort. It's like theyre shoving things in boxes and putting it on out there.

The Dementor had me excited for half a minute because I felt it could be repurposed as a wight for my GOT figures and then I saw its scale.

What a weird trainwreck this company is.

^ Yeah I thought it was a new 1/6 announcement too... until I read what the scale was

Dream come true! 6 inch SHF Harry Potter figures!

And to think I was this close to trying out Star Ace's 1/8 stuff.

EDIT: made a thread for the line https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/general-collectibles-action-figures/188632-sh-figuarts-harry-potter.html

I knew there had to be a reason that Star Ace had chosen to create a 1/8 scale over a more popular 1/12 scale to venture into. So glad that it was SHF that had the license to 1/12 stuff.

Yup! Good news! At last I'll bite on HP figures! They look amazing!

Star Ace has a teaser of Griphook... since that's the figure everyone is clamoring for

Good looking sculpt though.

 

[The Green Goblin]

They’re probably trying to get some good will from people by soliciting a figure they can’t possibly screw up, before revealing the next botched likeness.

 

[Lumos]

Interesting choice...

Of course!! On the plus side, appears that the line isn't dead (yet)! At least this is one sculpt that they can't (surely?) mess up.

Maybe this means we will be getting Deathly hallows figures finally?

 

[Lumos]

Hmmm.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Yikes, that's awful.

 

[mikeljanin]

I think it's a great portrait of Drew Barrymore at some point on her life.

 

[Lumos]

I can tell who it's supposed to be by looking at it, but...that's about as far as my praise goes.

If that's a final production piece, it's better than their teen Hermione. But that's not saying much.

At least teen Harry was great. It would've sucked if they botched him and nailed either Ron or Hermione. With the SHF figures coming, I guess this is a nice time to exit the Star Ace line. They're not even trying anymore.

Unfortunately that's how I am starting to feel about this line. The pieces that they are putting out at the moment are leaving a lot to be desired.

 

[jra81984]

They got the Sorcerer's Stone version of Ron so perfectly... how did they go so wrong with this one?

 

[Lumos]

Different sculptor, I'm assuming. Maybe they don't want to pay the big bucks for a decent sculptor anymore.

Justin Bieber looks good
