I just got all my figures out of storage and I have to say...I am really disappointed...I just feel NECA could have done so much better with this line. I was setting up my Order of the Phoenix display and I really wish they had done at least a Ministry Ron and Hermione if not Ginny, Neville, and Luna...I mean, we got random Deatheaters but not two of the main characters? It's a tad upsetting. They couldn't even make a new Ron and Hermione for the Borders Exclusive box set for Deathly Hallows. And they used the exact same Snape for Deathly Hallows Series 1 that they used back during Order of the Phoenix? Plus all the reused parts for the several variations of Harry.
I really hope this next wave for Deathly Hallows will be a lot better then the more recent releases. I have no idea what they are going to dress Harry in this time.

Some of the figures turned out wonderful, I think the Year 2 boxset was a brilliant idea and just great! But the recent figures just stink. There's nothing new. I bought the first Hermione but always wanted another, more feminine one. I remember the good old days of NECA with such great lines like the Pirates of the Caribbean line where although there was a Jack with every series they also included many figures from the films and great bases and amazing accessories! The Sin City figures didn't come with many accessories but they were sculpted incredibly! These figures are not as good, same goes to the Twilight line. Simple figure, no accessories and no bases. Booo. And again the reuse of parts!

Yeah the figures have been awful lately...I also forgot to mention the disgusting paint jobs that have been on the figures since the Half Blood Prince series

I saw the boxset at Borders and all three of them looked they had been painted by monkeys. (No offence is meant to any monkeys...I just imagine they are not very good at painting fine detailsl)

BTW, just asked NECA on twitter if we'd see some new HP figures at ToyFair... And as you can probably imagine, the answer was a big, fat, disappointing NO. ('there are no new figures to show at this time.', to be precise) This just sucks. NECA was doing such a great job with the line when it first got out, but after OOTP it just went downhill into nothingness. I really hope, even though I understand I'm being incredibly positive to even consider this possible, that we can get a good amount of BRAND NEW figures for the DH part 2, since it's almost a given the line won't continue after that. But who am I kidding, we MAY get a new Voldemort (which would be awesomely cool), but I really don't know if I believe it'll ever be actually released, probably another useless Harry, and that's it.

I really do hope they make a new Voldemort. More neutral, mouth closed, looking chill and cold. That would be awesome. And since they LOVE Harry so much, maybe a 2-pack of the Forbidden Forest scene? Just please, no dramatic pre-posed Voldie again (not that the first one is not WICKED AWESOME, but it'd be nice if this new one would be completely different)

You should ask them: "Since you no longer seem interested in producing any more Harry Potter figures, will you import the new line from Tomy to the United States?"

I asked if they will make more and if they will finally let the UK sell over here:
"yes we will make more & its not up to us who sells where. That's part of the license & determined by licensor."
Not too impressed.
