          That's a shame. Harry turned out to be the best looking figure I've gotten in a long time. No issues with costume or body and the head sculpt looks great too. And in person, the head size is a very good match.

            Do you think they would have sold better in their school uniforms or the robe like I showed in the pictures I posted?

              Is there still a market for these ? It seems like Harry Potter has been done to death with legos and toys years ago. Most of that stuff was clearanced out except the books, and movies. It's too bad the most of the remego stuff by FTC is old tv shows when they could be doing modern stuff like The Flash, or Arrow T.V Shows, or New Star Wars

                If the plan is to market them locally at Universal and in the Orlando area, they'd be huge. THe Harry Potter stuff there gets tons of people

                  Maybe Potter 2016 merch is akin to Star Wars circa 86-94 and will kick back into high gear in a few years???

                    Yeah, I think it is simple over-saturation. Anyone who ever wanted a Harry Potter figure got one years ago. It's a shame too because I think they are among the best figures FTC has done. I am also pretty sure the buy-in for FTC wasn't cheap either.

                      I hope this is the case. I complain (justly) about FTC, but these figure look excellent to me and deserve to be a success.

                          I went ahead and ordered Draco from Toycade yesterday. Harry turned out GREAT! Even the tension on the body was good. The head sculpt seems to be as in line as any of the 66 Batman figures. I'm thinking they would have sold better in their school uniforms. Maybe that will be another set of figures

                            Now I'm wondering if they will make any other figures. Or if I should do a custom Snape from an old Hutch figure from the Starsky and Hutch line.

                            Any word on it there will be another wave of Harry Potter figures?

                              I just looked at these figures again and they really are nice! If I was a fan, these would definitely be in my collection. Hopefully they find a market and FTC can make more for the fans.

                                The line needs a Hermione badly. I am hoping to convert streetwalker Glinda if FTC doesn't make one. There's a decent Voldemort head floating around already......I'd probably want a Snape too.
