Those are nice looking figures. Small quibbles but I like them, and think they could be big sellers for FTC. But I am more than a little bummed there is no Hermione. Wasn't she mentioned originally as being part of the upcoming assortment?

The Potter figures look great. Probably the best likenesses so far. Hope the line sells well to support a wide array of characters.

This would be the perfect line for Action Jackson-type costume packages for Hogwarts robes and quiditch equipment/brooms and deatheater robes to go with the figures.

I just want to say that I find myself looking forward to seeing out the newsletter every friday morning. I'm sure it's a lot of work and I appreciate it!

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, but I like the clothes. Malfoys suit is cool. I have some old Happy Days figures, I'm going to make the first Ralph Malfoy ever!!!

BOOO!! That gag is too stupid, even for me.

It's amazing, even though I have two children that enjoyed the series, I have almost no idea who any of these characters are.

Nice figures though and seeing how my son's high school has a "Harry Potter club" in 2016, a built in fan base for sure.

Oh, I think if marketed in the right places, they could sell a Metric TON of these. If they could only get peg space for them at the Harry Potter World in Universal Orlando. This is a rabid fan base. It may not be your average Mego collector's cup of tea, but if I were FTC, I would almost be more excited about the potential cash these could bring in versus old Mego repros.

This week's Black Hole video is sublime. Gee whiz, that is wonderful! Why don't we all have Palomino's in our collection? And are they using a wicker wastebasket to metaphorically toss those figures into the "black hole"? Wonderful, delightful! This is my new favorite feature of the newsletter. A thousand thank you's!

[AcroRay]

You're very welcome! ;-)

I think it's my favorite piece on the reel, and that says a lot.

Cool news in the newsletter. I'm a bit surprised HP will be made in 2 different sizes. I get FB feeds from a company called, I think, StarAce so how is FTC also making 1:6 scale HP figures? If they can then so be it. I'm definitely going to back the HP line in Mego scale, not only because they're cheaper, but the quality of the sculpts is gonna be astounding with Danny The farrow A. behind it.

My family and I have never seen the movies nor read the books.
I only know which character is Harry Potter.
Maybe these figures will draw more attention to the Mego-style 8 inch format though.
They look good.

Big Potter fans at my household. These are a must have. Sad to not see Ms Grainger, but I hope she will be in a future assortment.

As much as Im surrounded by "dolls", I think I would feel a bit strange with HP ones

Harry Potter scale choices does not seem well thought out to me. If he and the rest of the kids are on 8 and 12inch bodies, what size can the adults be, but the same?

Theses versions of the characters are modeled after their appearances in the final two films when they are 18 years old, so to me putting them on adult-size bodies isn't that big of deal. If more characters aren't made, it won't be an issue at all.

If younger versions of the characters are made, Titans bodies could be used for the kids.

Makes as much sense as Robin towering over Hulk and Thing back in the day.

Enjoyed reading the newsletter this morning but spit my coffee out like Jack Tripper when I saw the quote read "a nice loose black hole".
I really have some maturity issues.
Lots of mego goodness in this one.
