    Harry Potter finally got here!

    I ordered the school uniform too.

    I'm pretty happy with him. The biggest surprise is the glasses, which fit well but are shipped in a baggy. The wand is also in a baggy. Both bags are in the case with him.

    And yes, for some reason it still rotates pictures that show correct in my phone and on my computer.

        The glasses do look great. And they make the figure. There are no lenses in them though. I can see why. The clear plastic would probably block the eyes too much in this scale.

        I hope they do more in this line. Those pictures may be their next 2 variants. hehehe

              wasn't somebody crying that the heads were big? Those look ok to me.

                btw, the glasses are up at CTVT in the new stuff, looks like other HP parts, too.

                  The head is actually as in scale as any of the 66 Batman male figures. I was pretty impressed. You could tell they made the extra effort on these. He even had socks, which they normally don't do.

                  The school outfit and the robe all came from CTVT in their parts section. The sweater is a little long, but was easy enough to bunch up so it hung right. Having it a little oversized makes the head look even more in scale too.

                  If I were to give this to a child, I would definitely glue the glasses in place. Otherwise they will get lost easily. I may do that anyway so they don't fall off in the case.

                    Just curious, are these on the standard 8" body or the slightly shorter Korak body (you can tell most easily by the way the shoulder is assembled; Korak's has the extra slit in the shoulder joint allowing the arm to move outward)?

                      I'm pretty sure they are the straight up 8" body. I didn't notice any difference.

                        Interesting: I'd have thought they might go with the other body, as it is just a bot shorter than the regular version. It would make at least a little distinction between the youngsters and the adults if they make some of the other, older characters (which I assume would be the plan; I doubt they'd have spent the money for the license just to do three or four characters).

                          He is sculpted as he was in the last movie, pretty much an adult. It would be cool if they did at least 3 sculpts. One for the 6" body. One for 7". And the current one on the 8" body.

                          I'd love to see some of the older wizards though.

                            Harry was wearing his glasses in the package when I got mine. The wand was in a baggie, but he had his glasses on. Maybe there was an issue they decided to correct or something. I'm happy with mine.
