On online sites, they said Edward is for February, I don't know how he's out in some places, but in others wait till February. I hope the line will go on, since Neca stop making princess Bride figures, they just made one character.

I got mine today at an FYE in Tennessee. Nice figure...sad that he didn't come with a base...and he isn't as pale as I expected...for now he will function as a stand in Cedric if they don't continue with the line since he reminds me of Cedric when everyone was walking to the Quidditch World Cup...here is a quick pic

Well apparently that wide-hipped, squinty, puffed lipped, sketchy lookin dude in tight pants is the impossibly beautiful pinnacle of mannliness.

Thanks for the photo, Deathly Collector. I think his proportions look better in your photo than in the official photo. His hips and legs look much better. The big problem is that the arms/shoulders look too small, because they are articulated.
When I get my hands on one to customise, I'll bulk out the shoulders and repaint the face. Then he'll look suitably hot.

Thanks a lot for the picture, deathlycollector! I think the figure is quite good, actually. I love the paintjob on the hair, and the sculpt too. It does looks like Robert Pattinson! I can't wait to get mine, and also others! They have to make all the Cullens!

You're welcome guys...the figure is much nicer in person. However, there is a problem with his legs...so he doesn't stand on his own...which is why he is temporarily leaning on Bellatrix's hand until I can find or make a base for him. There was also a typo on the packaging...the back says that his ability is ming reading....wtf is ming? LOL Anyways...I was tempted to not open him but I wanted it and it was the last one that my FYE had so I had to get it. Hope everyone else is able to find one....I'd imagine they will continue with the line...and if so I think I will have to get another to find a way to make a Cedric out of him.

I heard about the typo...that is so odd...you would think they would check that kind of stuff before they started producing him.

Does he have pegs in his feet? If he does, are they the same size as the Harry Potter begs?

Well, there were a whole bunch of typos and gramatical errors in the book too, so maybe its fitting.

Yeah...he has pegs in his feet and they are the same standard size as the HP pegs....I just don't want to give up a character just to give him one....I found a way to make him stand in and had a spare wand for him to hold so it doesn't look that bad...just have to find a base now. If only NECA would tell us that they were making more characters now! LOL

Alright....tried Edward out on a HP base just to make sure it does in fact fit and its perfect...he stands great once on a base...not a clue what NECA was thinking by not including one...he also has to hold the wand a little weird since his hand wasn't made to hold a wand...but it will work. Here is a pic of what he is like on a base...got to get one now! LOL

And if you don't, please do not leave sarcastic remarks and ruin the thread for the people who do like it. Thank you. It looks great DC! Though I don't think I will be using him for my HP display...LOL

Can you take some pics of this edward with some male figures from Buffy sort of Angel, Wesley and Lorne, that will be interesting to see, since right now I'm kind of lost with the scale.

He is 6-7 inch. I don't know what that would be with the Buffy figures since I don't collect those. But I think they are in about the same scale.

Have we heard any news on other figures from the movie? Also I went back to my FYE and bought another Edward to keep MOC and the packaging says Ming Reader. Do they all say this or just some of them.
