Oola is very talented and does a great job and it takes a lot to put out your own creations for the world to see. great idea about repainting the umbridge though

I love that Sprout Oola. I actually made a custom Lego Sprout when I received the Greenhouse using a Spiderman Aunt May with a black witches hat & she looks great too!
I don't know who that blonde guy is you've made, but great figure!

I don't know who that blonde guy is you've made, but great figure! the blond guy is cormac mclaggen, the person in hbp who likes hermione and competes against ron for keeper in quidditch. oola i cant wait to see pictures of your entire collection with all the customs included! what characters are you working on next?

I had been looking at some way to make aunt beru a stand in for molly weasley.....I mean with the type of customs aka stand ins I am able to create......i think I should try stepping up and using....modeling clay is that what you use oola?... also quick question for you oola maybe youy can tell me cause I cant figure it out... I bought a flat black paint but when i put it on the figures its still coming out shiny.....do you think the paint is just bad or do you have any thoughts if I am doing something wrong? thanks (I could have asked you this in a PM but in case anyone else is trying to do customs may help them as well)

Im using something called greenstuff for the hair and the modelling on the clothes. You can by it in Warhammer game shops. I use a a scalpel to cut away hair from the origional figure heads like on the Lucius figure. And I use a needle to model the greenstuff hair. I mostly use the Popco Harry Potterfigures for the bodey (because of the hight) and Star Wars heads. Its important to scrub the figures down with a nail/tooth brush and soap to take away the oil on the figures to make the paint stick. Im painting with Humbrol paint mixed with lacka, and after they are dry paint them with a very matte lack called Ocean Lack that I bought in a hobby shop here in Norway, im not sure if you can get it in other countrys? At the moment im working on Tonks, but I want to make them all if I dont get bored before I have finnished them all: Lockhart, Quirrell, Flitwick, Slughorn, Hooch, Shacklebolt, Cedric, Krum, Fleur, Karkaroff, Rita, Seamus, Dean, Padma, Colin, Goyle, Crabbe, Pansy, Molly, Arthur, Vernon, Petunia, Percy, Fudge, Crouch Junior, Narcissa, Fawkes, Nick, Grey Lady, Bloody Baron, Fat Friar, Peeves (delited scens)

Ive gots a question: Is the UK experiencing postal strikes? That is what the seller said when I asked when I should be expecting my filch figure, that it would take around mid/late September when I should receive the figure.

There have been some postal strikes over here, so it is a possible excuse for slow shipping.

Ok thanks! WOOHOO!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! I GOT THE REST OF THE HBP FIGURES!!! (minus the 2 packs) I love them and I think that they are amazing!! Of course there are some things that I dont like like Fenrir, the figure is cool and all but the hand they give to hold the wand is retarted, and the whole pink wand well i used a sharpie and it looks loads better. Ginny is cool but switching the hand is a bit tough compared to the other figures. But overall very good!! PLEASE CONTINUE POPCO!!

Well right now I'm sticking to my plan for importing these figures. I wanted to start with the new characters and then possibly move onto the others because I'm not sure if I want the kids in their muggle attire or not. But right now I have a Fenrir figure on his way to my house ;D Next I'm going to take another stab at getting a Filch and then move onto Young Tom Riddle and then the new Dumbledore because I like the blackened hand look.

So my dad went to Toys R Us...they only had FOUR figures left! Ron, Hermione, Filch, and Sirius with Kreacher...better than nothing but I was cursing all the UK people that went out and just bought what ever they could get their hands on...he also went to Argos today...don't know if he found HBP figures or not...and he is going to Forbidden Planet tomorrow...so maybe he will find things there too.
