I think Star Ace needs to be more specific on what they've said about Ron. I want a Ron. Are they implying the two we have are it? I know they said never say never but that podcast seemed pretty definitive about it. Maybe have him in a 2pack with a Harry or Hermione to offset a potential loss?

Are we talking about anything concrete here or Buttmunch's theory that they won't make a POA Ron? What was said in the podcast?
They specifically said a GoF Ron wasn't in the plans, so PoA Ron is probably in a similar boat for now.

Right, thanks.
Whatever happened to that Yule Ball Hermione?

It was the only figure they've shown so far (apart from the prototype Hungarian Horntail model) that wasn't at the CCG Expo. It'd be interesting to know why exactly that is.

I wonder if they will reissue the first year trio figures, if only so fans can have another shot at getting Ron as it sounds like Star Ace are not sure whether or not they are going to do another Ron at all by the sounds of it.
I do however hope we get more of the side characters. I myself would love Percy and the twins, followed closely by Neville, Seamus, Dean and Oliver.

If I have to guess maybe the sheer detail and frilly nature of the dress is just too complex for them to go to mass retail maybe ? Either that or maybe they are changing gears and maybe make her and Yule Ball Ron a two pack ?
I don't think that's likely from what they've said in interviews. They said they want to keep their lines collectible and not flood the market with them. Plus, you can still find Ron for a reasonable price online.
Here's hoping. I'd also like to see Cho and Ginny from the later movies.
I could see that. If she were released solo, with no other characters from that scene, I don't know if I would buy.

Why make the Yule Ball versions at all though? It just seems like they are ***** footing around with making all these other versions of the 3 instead of the DH versions most people want. It would be nice to have a Harry to display with the Voldemort figure.
You could display him with GoF Harry.

That figure didn't turn out as good as I had hoped tbh.
I may pick it up if it goes on sale at some point. I think the nose is a bit off and the feet and hands are a disappointment from what I've seen in reviews, with the design getting in the way of articulation/posing.
After seeing the PoA headsculpts for Harry and Hermione I'm hoping that Star Ace slows down and really focuses on bringing their A game. I'd rather wait than to have a figure that's disappointing. If they keep up their initial quality they could truly compete with the bigger companies, like Hot Toys.

Looks like BBTS is getting another shipment of Hermione. Says preorder with a ship date of August.
Only shows two available. Anyone looking for Hermione should act fast. Might be one of the last chances to get the figure at a reasonable price.
I wonder what the odds are of Star Ace releasing the other contestants from GoF. If they were planning to I'd be all over the Tri-Wizard Harry already. At the very least there must be a market for a Robert Pattinson figure, right?
Apparently Leo, the head of Star Ace, is a big fan, so I'd expect a Cedric sooner rather than later actually.
