Nice! That's not a bad deal at all.

I'm looking for a good price on Tri-Wizard Harry.

I'll get PoA Sirius and Mad Eye if they're cheap enough and the casual outfits for Harry, Ron, and Hermione if they're ever dirt cheap.

Amazon had the Casual Harry for $69 so I caved..............and of course since I got Harry I caved on Casual Ron too. Guess that means I'll have to pick up Casual Hermione now too, LOL! I wanted a second set of the kids to put with Hagrid when he arrives.

Great pic and congrats on getting them - great looking figures!! And yes you definitely need a Hermione now to complete the set!

I see that it's still $69 on Amazon. I'm just surprised that Ron is still going for retail, if he is in fact selling more poorly than Harry.

Maybe it's because the Ron in the school robes is becoming harder to find, so the casual Ron is selling better? I don't understand why he didn't sell well. I love Ron. I actually like his sculpt better than Harry's. I hope they change their stance on producing more Ron's. I can't imagine them doing versions of Harry and Hermione and leaving Ron out. I'd love older versions of all 3 in their school robes and would certainly buy them if they did Prisoner of Azkaban, GOblet of Fire or Order of the Phoenix versions of them in robes.

 

[Chronos1919]

Definitely. Older versions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their school outfits is a must.

Nice pics Dragonsleeper and JinCincy.

Hagrid arrived today................really pleased with him. Love Fang! Glad I sprang for the Deluxe set. Although, now I see Dumbledore's deluxe set is on waitlist at Sideshow........................hope I didn't miss him, as I really would like that Deluxe set as well, but couldn't have get both at once. I thought I would be fine waiting for Dumbledore. Ughhh...............maybe there will be a reorder of Dumbledore or I can find him somewhere else when my coffers replenish.
Just one quick pic of him with Harry, Ron and Fang. Will hopefully get some more of Hagrid by himself later.

Sold out on BBTS and Sideshow at the moment. Most other places seem to have him for an inflated price. Your best bet would be to join the waitlist at SS if you haven't already. I think it only just went to waitlist so there's a good chance it will convert. Zero risk to you either way, since you can cancel it if you find him elsewhere and there's no NRD for joining the waitlist.

^ Great photos once again JinCincy! Congrats on getting him. Hagrid is such a fantastic figure, and I agree, it's definitely worth spending the extra if you can and picking up the deluxe sets. The Fang accessory is alone is awesome - I love it!!

Hope you are able to get hold of the deluxe Dumbledore set as well (fingers crossed ) - especially as he's turned out so well, not to mention the awesome Fawkes accessory it has (which is why I wanted it)

Alright! Got my Deluxe Hagrid on preorder with Ekia Hobbies, Deluxe Dumbledore on preorder with Hobby-Galaxy, and Hermione on preorder with Big Bad Toy Store. And I currently own Ron, Harry, and Voldemort. Yay!

Still not sure I want Sirius or Mad-Eye...

Big ups for Eamon for the box art

 

[darthkush]

Hmmm...based on this thread, looks like Hagrid and Dumbledoore are selling way better than Sirius, Mad Eye, Voldemort and some of the older figures. I was thinking about doing Sirius or Mad Eye next but I may lean more into Dumbledoore before he's gone. I'm a little perplexed on Voldemort though as I don't think there's going to be a "better" version of him and he IS the villain of the entire series.

 

[JinCincy]

I think Voldemort is a great sculpt! I don't think you would be disappointed if you got him darthkush. I do think Dumbledore might be better to pick up first though, as it seems plenty of places still have Voldemort. I think Sirius and Mad Eye are great too. Mad Eye is a little "tanner" than I thought he would be, but I like the figure just the same. I love that Star Ace is giving us lots of the different characters.
A couple of shots of VOldemort for you................

Is Hobby-Galaxy any good? I've never preodered from them before

*EDIT* Totally random, but considering the merch that's bound to happen from the new play, the new Fantastic Beasts movie and the still ongoing line here (plus all the Noble Collection replicas), shouldn't 'Harry Potter' have its own forum section now?

*EDIT2* Especially since the OP for this post has been banned, so no more pics on the front page?

 

[The Green Goblin]

I thought that too, but really, this thread doesn't get much activity at all. The individual threads for figures are pretty much dead. Maybe we could get a new thread running with an OP that isn't banned instead, and use that to talk about figures as they come?

Well, he IS the next figure I ordered. Voldemort that is. Right now I'm trying to decide who is next. I really like Mad Eye but the figure looks thinner than the actual actor and that bothers me a bit. I'm also thinking about Dumbledoore and Sirius. Just not sure yet. Ideally, I'd really like a Harry next but trying to be strong and wait and see what the next couple of Harrys will be.

 

[Chronos1919]

I would definitely go for Dumbledore before Mad Eye. He seems to be drying up. Hard to say what's selling more. There were so many of their first Harry Potter figures unsold initially that they may have cut down the production runs.

I'd be a bigger fan of Mad Eye but the real Mad Eye hardly got any screen time in the films.

So would I. Over here in the UK a lot of retailers still seem to have the Mad Eye figure and I've seen it on several site (in sales too), so guessing he'll be around for a good while longer. Dumbledore looks to be the much superior figure anyway IMHO.
