Biggest wants right now are McGonagall, Umbridge and Bellatrix....we need some ladies!

I think Star Ace already confirmed Bellatrix for 2017 in that Hot Toys podcast.

I pre-ordered from them, confident that they would adjust the price. I just checked, and they did, now $199.99. I prefer them to Sideshow, they know how to pack safely without charging a "pack out" fee. I ordered the Asmus Mouth of Sauron from Sideshow, it arrived with multiple perforations to the outer brown shipper, a discount code sticker slapped on as well, and the handle on the top torn off at one end. For a company that makes a living off of collectibles, SSC has little regard for the condition your item reaches you in.

That is exciting news.

Love the list except for Moaning Myrtle over Neville! C'monnnnnnn!!

 

[Oola]

Moaning Myrtle: It took Cedric ages to riddle it out. Almost all the bubbles were gone...
That naughty little minx

I agree, except Bella and Umbridge are my 2 and 3. The rest just follows your order.

Star Ace has been doing wonders with this license, but I'm curious how they'll do with Umbridge, as she'd need a new body.

Oh, FLITWICK. We need Flitwick.

 

[darthkush]

My current wish list would look like this:

1. OTP Harry
2. OTP Hermione
3. OTP Ron
4. Bellatrix Lestrange
5. Lucious Malfoy
6. OTP Cho Chang
7. HBP Ginny Weasely
8. OTP Draco Malfoy
9. HBP Luna Lovegood

Everybody else is either already being made or I'm not dying to get.

 

[darthkush]

McGonagal I kind of want, I just have this bad feeling an old lady figure would either not come out right or look extremely dollish(more than they already look). Prove me wrong, Star Ace. Prove me wrong. If she looks cool, I'd get her.

By the way, Amazon is *****king killing me. Mad Eye is now all the way down to 95 bucks grrrr, he keeps dropping! Just keep doing that till Friday, Amazon!

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Actually, I think the aged figures, by virtue of all of the of the character and reference points in terms of sculpt, are among the very best 1/6 representations in the hobby. Here's hoping McGonagal will be half as good as Richard Harris Dumbledore...

 

[HAL9000.]

Yep. Just look at SA's Viktor - a stunning sculpt. Easily SA's best IMO.

 

[MaxGoof]

I haven't done a wish list in a while, so here's my Top 10:

1) POA Neville Longbottom

2) OOTP Ginny Weasely

3) OOTP Luna Lovegood

4) OOTP Draco Malfoy

5) POA Ron Weasely

6) Professor McGonagall

7) OOTP Harry Potter

8) Dolores Umbridge

9) OOTP Neville Longbottom

10) OOTP Ron Weasley

 

[TheRiddler32?]

Ooo Top 10- I love this game! I would have to say
1) Professor McGonagall
2) Umbridge
3) Professor Lupin
4) Gilderoy Lockhart
5) Professor Trelawney
6) Madame Hooch
7) OOTP Harry
8) OOTP Hermione
9) OOTP Ron
10) Mr Filch w/ Mrs Noris

Honorable mention- Molly Weasley

Even better than Kim's Hermione?

I think that's tough to beat... though yes, Viktor is excellent.

Kim's Hermione is of course, amazing. For me though (and a controversial opinion, no doubt), it's second to Viktor. I think they did a superb job with him and it's put me into a dilemma because the Selene is not good, and I can't get one without the other

Hermione is brilliant - although the causal one doesn't float my boat - I do have the uniform version. The first year trio are just great.

Anyway, my point is that if they can do such a good Viktor, they have no reason not to slam-dunk McGonagal.

I hope they do her or Bellatrix next.

 

[cmiller99]

Fair enough.

Yeah, often older sculpts seem easier to capture, or at least a companies get it more right the first time when doing older sculpts. More distinct features in the face or whatnot. Either way, it's an encouraging sign for a fantastic McGonagall figure one day.

 

[HAL9000.]

I still remember when Dave (or whoever) first showed that Hermione sculpt and my jaw just hit the floor!

 

[Chronos1919]

Mad Eye is back up over $100 on Amazon (barely). Now might be the time to get him for anyone on the fence.
