Star Ace Harry Potter Lord Voldemort action figure review

[Michael Crawford]

There's some serious competition in the sixth scale market these days, and one of the brightest up and coming companies is Star Ace. I'm checking out their terrific Lord Voldemort figure tonight right here:

Great looking figure Michael, thanks for posting this review so quickly. I am sold on this. Whilst I have some reservations about the screaming HS, the other is GREAT!

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yea, the horsey teeth aren't really doing it for me...but overall, it's a terrific figure!

I don't understand how there isn't a big market for this. Ebay is pretty much dead when it comes to this figure

Was never a fan of the screaming head, nor of screaming heads in general. They always come out too unnatural or stiff. Voldemort did have some funky teeth, but I do think those really didn't help this sculpt. So I'll be going with the neutral head, which thankfully does look fantastic. Can't wait for this to start shipping from Sideshow. I'm also loving the relatively short pre-order windows. I mean HT is already got stuff on the books 18+ months from now. Its nice to get something in around 3 months. Hopefully Dumbledore and Hermionie aren't far behind. Really want Snape sooner rather than later. Lucius Malfoy too in addition to the others you mentioned at the end of the review. LOTS of potential with this line.

It hasn't hit retail in the US yet. I don't think Harry Potter is a big deal in the Asian market, so pre-orders there were probably low. You might see more on eBay when US retailers receive their stock.

Also, consider that Harry Potter is not really a big deal anymore. These threads aren't exactly lighting the forums on fire here.

I know I'll be using the screaming sculpt to re-create this scene.

Great review Michael.

I very much enjoyed your review Michael, as I enjoy this fantastic line so far. Star Ace seems to do everything right.

There is a Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Park Japan. There's support for these figures in Asia, although not as much as in the West. I'd love to figure out a way to cross these over into more female collectors, I think Potter is more popular with that demographic.

Nice review Michael as usual, I've been visiting your website for years (I think that's how I found out about sideshow freaks too if I remember correctly).

That's what I get for not verifying his claim. There's 12 different listings for Voldemort on eBay.

PO'd this from Sideshow with the LUCKYMARCH code (save $20) no-brainer!!
