I think that it is better to seperate NECA from this thread as they don't make as many figures. I hate searching through the pages if I haven't been on in a while and find no news on the NECA figures, only Popco. As for asking questions and someone will know, how long do you want the thread to be? If people keep asking questions that could be just shortened by having seperate threads than leave it seperate threads. As for just seperating now, I have wanted to say that for quite a while now, while reading posts that are pointless for me to read as I only collect the NECA figures. I am so busy with work that I don't have time to go through every page or ask a question and then 2 days to a week later read the answer because everyone keeps posting about Popco or other Harry Potter lines and no one can even read my question without going back 2 to 3 pages.
When this forum started and it was just Buffy items we were discussing, how pointless would it be to have one thread with Buffy Sideshow Figures, DST Figures, Ornaments, Statues, Busts, Books, Video Games, Props, Tiki Statues and so many other merchandise.

well narcissa did not come out like I planned but I like her...just need to piant her gloves black.....i have to thank JLU zatanna for doanting her legs (unwillfully) to the cause. and after my friend send me the half blood prince figures I will be up to date and will work on a few other cutom ideas (by the way muy cutoms are pretty much simple repients that are acceptable stand ins as opposed to actually remodeled figures to look like their movie counterparts.......golden compass figures work well for this....daniel craig is a good stand in for lucius and lupin.....nicole kidman is narcissa as you probably alreday figured out.

I also got my Filch (I found him in the mail when I came back from holiday). I bought it from a british ebay-seller and paid a lot of money to get him (25 euros or so - I try to forget how much exactly :-).
But now I see that everybody is getting Filch. Where did all these Filches come from all so suddenly?
Anyway, I'm glad I got him, now I still wait for my HBP figures to arrive from Germany (if ever they will).
In the Netherlands, there seems to be a very small start with the Popco Figures: only Harry, Fred and George, Sirius and Moody are available.
I've still got my spare Griffyndor Common Room with Ginny. I tried to sell it on the Dutch 'ebay', but nobody was really interested. Maybe later.
I've also been thinking to 'redesign' it: to use the plastic tower-look, but to redesign the interior, for example to make it Snape's classroom or so. Or Dumbledore's office (although that would really need a roof!). Now that we're not going to get any from Re:creation....
I am really inspired by you guys from this thread, I love Lupin and Trelawney!

Love your collection Joey. I like how you put the opening walls at the back, I'll have to try that.
I've decided I'm sending my Minerva off to have some custom work done. She needs new lips! And HBP Hermione...I'll need to send her off too to get rid of that bleeding between the hair & face.
I'll say again what an odd decidion I thought it was not giving Hermione a seperate hairpiece for this new figure. It's often a bad idea for this very reason.

oola did you just buy a ton of extra figures to customize them? anyways she looks great!!
i have a quick question about the HBP and OotP figures, do the head fit to swap them, like switching the HBP head to the OotP body?
