Title: New Harry Potter Action Figures
Post by: Geekyfanboy on January 11, 2007, 11:19:56 PM
Do you believe in magic? No, not the kind they teach you at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is the kind of magic that brings the world's most popular character to life as an amazing action figure. And after four movies and a whole bunch of kid-targeted toys that left collectors unsatisfied, NECA has harnessed this magic to make some kick-ass Harry Potter toys that look so good they defy the laws of science.

I am so looking forward to these figures.. there is a nice article in the current Toyfare, I plan on picking it up tomorrow. I'll post more once I read it but here are several AWESOME pictures.

Those do look really nice.  NECA is getting more and more of my business lately.  I think I'll be picking up my first Harry Potter figure(s).

Here is more news about the upcoming figures..


Got this from the NECA myspace page.

In case you had not heard our license covers all the previous films so we will have 2 series running concurrently in 2007, "Harry Potter" which will include figures from movies 1-4 and then our "Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix" figures which will focus on the fifth film, Order of the Phoenix exclusively. Images of our "Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix" figures will be available by mid-February in time for the International Toy Fair.

And when you buy Harry, Ron and Hermione you get parts of a "dummy" death eater build a character.

Just got my series one of the new Order of the Phoenix figures (Ron, Harry, Hermione and Sirius). Neca has done a wonder job with these.. at least from a collectors viewpoint. They look dead on but not much articulations.  They are producing 7 inch figures as well as 3 3/4 inch figures. I got my 7 inch figures today.

So here is Series 2 from Neca for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. These are the first official pictures released. That's why they are small...

There is a Mad Eye Moody with the UK series.. haven't seen one with the Neca toyline.

Do you know who is doing the UK series? From what I had seen it looked really cool.
Title: Re: New Harry Potter Action Figures
Post by: Geekyfanboy on July 24, 2007, 08:17:39 AM
Yeah it's a company called Cards Inc. http://www.cardsinc.com/index.htm

I have the first series  from them.. they look pretty good for being only 3 3/4 inch figures. Personally I liked the 7 inch and 3 3/4 inch US figures from Neca better. The Neca figures I think are a bit more detailed but they don't have much movement as the UK figures.. the UK figures have something like 12 points of articulations.. which is amazing for such a small figure.

Here are some pixs of the UK versions.

Wow ! these are very cool thanks for the info I will have to pick these up.

No problem.. yeah I had to have them too.. the only problem is they are only in the UK, luckily I have a friend who lives there and he was able to pick them up for me.. but the big problem is the value of the US dollar to the UK pound, it's worth about half... and shipping from the UK.. figures cost about $200.00 but shipping was over $100.00. I don't think I ever spent so much on just 12 figures. But hey it's Harry Potter :)

Yeah I agree.. they are also three times bigger. That is one cool thing about the UK ones.. they are very small but have alot of details for something so small..But nothing beats the US versions.
