Official Harry Potter Figure Discussion Thread

[JacktheRipper]

What I find with certain figures is that they land with a "true" collector. What I mean buy "true" is that it's a collector that truly loves the license. They don't collect for profit, but for the love of collecting something that means a lot to them. They rarely sell. Yeah, I know we all love what we collect. There are those figures that hit that sweet spot of just enough made and those that really desire it acquire it. They'll show up here and there, but most collectors will hold on to it.

I don't think it would look right in my opinion.

I think you may be right, maybe I'll just buy the 1/8 vers instead

I ended up buying the philosopher's Stone Halloween Harry for only $155 USD Its currently on sale at popcultcha and I used a discount code and knocked about another $23 off it, random question tho can the "Halloween" versions of the figures robes be opened or are they sewn together?

I don't have the Halloween version. But I'm pretty sure it's the same as the original release. Which can be opened.

Got my Halloween Harry today, the robe was sewn shut but it was only a couple of threads so I just cut them, really impressed with the figure, it's my 1st 1/6 Star ace figure. I'm definitely going to get some more, I really want a Gryffindor sword that scales okay with the figure but I don't want to have to buy griphook just for the sword, does anyone know if any of the mini Gryffindor swords scale okay ? Maybe the letter opener?

Both Dumbledores have it, if it`s any help.

I just got Minerva. And initially, I was let down a bit by how little I have felt for that figure. But then I took off her glasses, and that did the trick for me. The resemblance is there, even inspite of the strange paint-job. Really, now I like her a lot better.

The glasses are attached using two small hooks at the ends, that go into the head. Is it easy to remove by warming the head up with the blowdryer. The head becomes soft and pliant, and the the hooks can be taken out. Glasses make a nice prop to put on an open book, for example.
Also, I took out the connector from the head to make her head sit higher on her neck. It suits her to have a slightly longer neck, I think.
