Ah, finally a fig I really like. Perhaps my second favourite fig of the line after McGonagall!

I suppose it's the first time TLC produced a good-looking Quiddich uniform. Not to mention that both Griffindor and Slytherin ones come in that posh dark colors which work perfectly, I guess. )

I'm again not sure about Malfoy's cartoonish face and the weird grin. I guess I'll need to try the old head with this torso. My most favourite part is obviously the headpice which I've been really looking forward to seeing. So many customs characters just beg to have that hair. Getting a pair of brown hands is also very nice. )

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

You having daily commentaries on each fig? Oh yea, I read somewhere that he has a double sided head with a scared expression.

Yes, I do. Since I'm a devoted customizer and HP is one of my most anticipated themes, I decided to share my thoughts about the figs with the whole community.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. )

Who will be unveiled tomorrow?

Will we have 1

Will we have two

Or will we have none

[SuperChris]

Those magazine images look great! It's time like this when I wish I still got the Lego Club magazine.

There is one figure that I can't work out who it is though. It's the last one on there and I'd think it is Ginny, but we have already had a Ginny figure higher up. Am I being stupid and missing something here?

Nice pics! The first one verifies that yes, Luna will have a double-sided head: one side with the Spectrespecs, and one side without. Which is what I had been hoping for. In fact, it looks like all of the main cast members will also have double-sided heads for alternate expressions (I anticipating my little brother making jokes that "X is really Voldemort"-- he makes that joke about every fig with a double-sided head ever since the first Harry Potter sets had that Professor Quirrel minifigure).

And yes, there are two Ginnys, just as there are several Harrys. This depicts the full assortment of minifigs from all the sets, which includes Hogwarts Ginny, Plainclothes Ginny, Hogwarts Harry, Plainclothes Harry, Quidditch Harry, Hogwarts Ron, Plainclothes Ron, Hogwarts Malfoy, Quidditch Malfoy... all in all, a lot of alternate outfit figs. And then there's duplicates of Hogwarts Harry and Hogwarts Hermione in the Hogwarts Castle set, and a duplicate of Plainclothes Harry in The Burrow.

Hagrid's coat seems to be dark brown. I likey. Also, Filch is apparently no longer a Boba Fett clone. (or would that be a Jango Fett clone? =P )

Also, why oh why is there a picture of that horrendous GoF/OotP Ron on this page? Surely they could have left that out since he isn't in any of the sets. I tolerated him in GoF because I assumed "Oh, he's just been rescued from the bottom of a lake; he's bound to be a little dazed", but then in OotP it dawned on me that that was intended to be his regular face. Blech.

And lastly, on a slightly off-topic note, who else suspects that the spell Dobby uses on Lucius Malfoy after being freed is the Flipendo Knockback Jinx from the HP video games? I've always had a sneaking suspicion of that, myself.

I don't think you understand. We are talking about the teaser site, were there is no space for any extra Harry figs.

Snape's torso looks a lot better in these pics than in the ones from Toy Fair, and is it just me, or do the Dementors have double sided heads? (the one hovering above the great hall seems to have cheek lines but no mouth)

I love the new Malfoy minifigure! Yes, cartoonish but all the new LEGO Harry Potter minifigures are like that, but it works perfect for a younger version (book 1-3) I think.

Now about the magazine scans, thanks for showing them, they look very good. I love all the new minifigures! I could keep saying how wonderful and great they are, so I'm going to say a few things about them which I don't like. Filch's hair should have been dark brown because it was a unique colour, oh well. I'm still disappointed with Harry's head in a couple of sets... He just looks too young to fight against Bellatrix or Voldemort. They use the figures of '07 with a very decent head that looks more mature. Why couldn't they used that one, with the mouth upside down on the back of head... Now I'm going to have to make some decals.

So, I love everything of the new LEGO Harry Potter series. It's only a pity they decided to make the faces of the teenagers very, very kiddy looking. That doesn't fit when you want them to fight for life and death (in your MOCs) against an evil lord... I'll make a bunch of MOCs with these new figures from the first three books, but especially Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are looking pretty useful to use in a MOC based on the Deathly Hallows.

Oh, and are those wands 5 studs long? Hopefully not! 4L was long enough, but with the introduction of 3L bars, it was only logical to have those as wands. (Not that I don't have enough 4L bars, and 5L will be very useful, but it looks weird.)

Has anyone else noticed this? Can you really buy it now?

Not here in Holland .

Strange. Maybe it's just the UK for now then, or something.

It does seem weird that it's been released so soon. I didn't think it was out till October.

Another day with no MF

Oh, I thought you were talking about the same images I was replying to. My mistake.

Another day with no MF.

This sucks :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[Svelte]

Special K, please post more thoughtfully and avoid over-using emoticons. We expect a certain level of maturity in discussions at EB. Thanks.

yay! Ginny figure is up!! :D I really love her revamped look

[CMP]

Who on earth is that last character?

[10or]

[SuperChris]

Ginny is looking great! I love her new hair, it really suits her more than the old hairpiece that she had.

This means that the last figure isn't Ginny, right? Maybe we are getting another figure that we don't know about. Any guesses who?

[Svelte]

There are two Ginnies in the catalogue - one civilian, one in uniform - does that explain it?

[ADHO15]

But there are no multiple silhouettes of the different Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco figs. Why only Ginny?

I'm loving all the new figs so far! They'll really come in handy!

Why does Dumbledore have light bluish grey hair there and why is Lucius Malfoy no there at all?
