Nice!

Hopefully that's the case. Anyone know when the next big event/show is for Star Ace?

 

[Buttmunch]

Don't know if they'll be there or not, but SDCC is Wednesday. That's always a good event to show off new items for most companies.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Hopefully we get a Third Task Triwizard Harry to go along with a possible Cedric, and they give the Year 4 head sculpt another go. I've seen Triwizard Harry go pretty cheap, and I've been tempted to get it, but I always look at pictures and decide against it due to the head sculpt. It's probably their worst one.

 

[Chronos1919]

I thought I had read they wouldn't be at SDCC.

I would argue that their Snape headsculpt is, disappointingly, worse than their Tri-Wizard Harry. I hope that they end up taking another crack at Snape.

Star Ace haven't ever done SDCC and they haven't announced any intention to do it this year.

I wonder if Dave could let us know why they've never gone to SDCC. Seems odd that they haven't.

Someone has to die in order for a new company to get a booth at SDCC. Star Ace has been trying for 3 years.

Any presence at Sideshow's booth? They do carry Star Ace after all. I hate seeing such a great company not get some well deserved publicity at SDCC. So many booths there are a waste of space (IMO) and its a shame to see something worthwhile not able to get in because of that.

That sucks. Thanks for telling us.

I agree with Buttmunch. It'd be good if Sideshow could give them some space.

Sideshow used to do that with distributed product, but the past few years it's only been SSC and Hot Toys stuff.
Star Ace had a retailer show them last year, but I don't think that's happening this year.

 

[Chronos1919]

For shame. Sad that it's so tough for newer/smaller companies to get their name and products out there.

 

[OFGhost]

Man, I'm late to this line. I would love to have Harry, Ron, and Hermoine in their school outfits from the Sorcerer's Stone, but they're so expensive now. I totally missed my chance.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Richard Harris Dumbledore should be in hand to most who ordered from Sideshow this week if not today....still not a peep on his thread here, and not a single YouTube review - even from the folks who usually get early releases. Sigh. I wish more people cared about this line.

Not sure where you're located but Amazon and PopCultcha both have them all for right around retail. Not too late yet. Probably will be soon though.

I'm excited we get Dobby and Lucius. I can cross them out of my wanted list
I dont know if I will get POA Harry and Hermione without a third year Ron. If he was coming I would buy all three. Same with Yule Ball Hermione, without a fourth year Ron, I'm not sure I will get her.
I'm a little disappointed that apart from Dobby there were no new characters shown.
Is the head on TPS Draco the same as COS/Quidditch Draco? If they are different heads I would get both. If its the same I think I'm only getting the Quidditch one.

 

[Chronos1919]

Same for me, though with the added caveat that both head sculpts need to improve as well, from what was shown. I would even pay a premium for some of the lesser liked characters if they could at least do a small run of them. I might be in the minority there though.

 

[BetterThanKenobi83]

POA Harry would probably be THE Harry for me as to me at least the third film is the only one that truly got the Harry I see while reading the books right on screen.

 

[darthkush]

I'm curious about a consensus on this...if you can only have one or two of the kids who aren't the trio, who would you get? I know Star Ace reads this so I'm hoping we can help send them a message. Okay, for me I want Ginny and Cho Chang. Ginny because I feel she's the most important and Cho because I just selfishly like her. Plus all the display options for them and Harry. It's a Harry Potter love triangle display! I could do dueling Ginny/Cho fighting for Harry's heart. The silly display possibilities are endless! lol. Okay, guys, which 2 kids you want? The only ones they seem to have outright rejected so far are Fred and George. Oh and I want Order of the Phoenix Cho and Half Blood Prince Ginny.

 

[Chronos1919]

Hard to narrow it down but I would say that Ginny and Cho would be strong choices. My short-list would also include Neville, Luna, Seamus, and Oliver.

Star Ace said that they wouldn't be making Fred & George?

 

[Matner77]

Neville, Ginny & Luna after that I don't think there'd be any other younger characters I'd want

 

[Oola]

I want Luna, Ginny, Neville. In that order, from film 5 ore 6 i think
