I made a first year Neville and Dean out of the two extra Hermione figures with the Gryffindor sweater (I would rather have those two unique figures than three of the same Hermione) and they look quite nice. It won’t let me upload the picture but for Neville I used Frodo’s face from Gandalf Arrives and the 2010-11 Professor Flitwick hair piece. For Dean I used one of the Jurassic World guards’ head and hands (a lighter brown skin tone, the same color as the Dean in the CMF series). The face is a little too serious for my liking but it still works very well. And then I used the hair piece from the CMF gladiator from one of the recent series (the same hairpiece as Dean from the upcoming CMF). Both look great and I can’t wait to make more when the CMF come out!

Fair enough, I’m not even sure how it escalated, I already fixed the hands! It really isn’t that big of a deal, easy fix. At least I have the last version
-
Yes, Mom. Look, there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly debating on a passionate and beloved topic. I have nothing against the people I’m arguing with. We all just love Lego Harry Potter and have different visions for it. Nothing personal going on here, nothing is getting out of hand, no one is being nasty. People are going to disagree, it’s life.

Thank you, agreed The one where it’s opening the door looks dark gray to me. Light reflecting off of it makes it look lighter than it is. This argument obviously isn’t going anywhere, I don’t think we’re going to agree on this so I say we drop it. I’m not convinced by the new minifigure
-
That image is not taken from the film. Approved or not, it’s only art.
-
Uhhh...yeah it is. Watch the films, not art from them.
-
Still inaccurate to the films. I wouldn’t really look to funko for accuracy A dementor’s skin is not light gray. It’s dark gray, almost black
-
Agreed, except probably dark brown
-
Their skin is a dark gray (almost black) but Lego made the head and body black with light gray hands which makes no sense and looks terrible. I’m not sure how I feel about the new design. I like the ghost “legs” and the actual minifig torso but the printing makes no sense. It’s just bare skin with a hood and tattered cape. The only exposed areas should be the face and hands. They should have at least had some kind of cloak or cloth printed on the torso instead of that weird belly
-
I know but it’s definitely not light gray. But Lego made the body and face black with randomly light gray hands. The combination looks terrible
-
After having built the Hogwarts Express set, my only complaint is the dementor’s hands. Why are they light gray??? Why aren’t they black like on the box?? I am switching out those awful light gray hands for black ones right away. Even dark gray would have been ok but light gray?? Awful looking
-
My Hogwarts Express just arrived via FedEx, now I have all the new system HP sets. Looking forward to the two FB sets and the D2C as well as the CMF series!
-
Anyone else excited to use Flitwick’s hair piece for a custom Dwight Schrute? Light brown would be better but you work with what you have
-
I agree about Hermione, I’ll probably do the same thing. And yeah I know there’s some chub on Kowalski but I still think it’s the closest match. I’m just so glad we’re getting several different uniforms so we can mix and match at will, it’s fantastic
-
Ok so I’m gonna have to get two of some of these CMF. Moody and Graves obviously because each one is really two characters (it’s gonna suck finding two Graves figures, but a quest is a quest!), I’ll get two of Cho so I can use a Ravenclaw torso and black medium legs to make a uniformed Luna out of my 2010 version. I also might try to make a Gryffindor uniform version of Neville using Harry’s torso and legs or maybe I’ll just go with the Gryffindor sweater. I also find it a little weird having a young Seamus and an older Dean (the two are best friends) so I might try to make an older version of Seamus and a younger version of Dean that way I have two different versions of both! I also might get two Kowalski’s because that gray suit might work really well for a custom MCU Justin Hammer
-
I really like the Crouch face, I saw a lot of complaints about the tongue but personally I feel like it captures his deranged look very well, with that tongue flick he does
-
I know and it’s frustrating because I will need two of him, one for Graves, one for Grindelwald. Same with Moody though he will be easier to obtain
-
My mistake. I miscalculated in my conversion, that’s on me. Sorry for stepping on some toes, wasn’t my intent
-
Yeah $3.99 is more than £3.99...
-
They’ve been $3.99 in the US for years and sell just fine
-
Seeing as the D2C will most likely be revealed sometime between now and SDCC, I’m honestly shocked we haven’t gotten more leaks from it
-
I’m so excited for the Michael Gambon Dumbledore. I really hoped we would get both versions but my hopes weren’t very high. However, Lego has surprised me yet again! Love the Richard Harris version but Michael Gambon is Dumbledore considering he’s in it for much longer (despite some unfortunate inaccurate moments which is due to the writers and not the actor)
-
In my experience, the same generally goes for the US. Ive always gotten backorders sooner than expected
-
I want them to announce the D2C soon because I need to start coming up with a plan. My closest Lego store is about 3 hours away in Phoenix so I have to make the trip count. I’ll probably pick up Quantum Realm Explorers too if they have it, seeing as I still haven’t seen it at any retailer. I got all the new HP sets already at Target except Hogwarts Express which I ended up ordering online from Lego. Now my sights are set on CMFs and the D2C. Once they’re released, I hope Walmart and Target get plenty of the CMFs right away so I can start hunting, I’m going after all 22, and 2 each of Graves and Moody, seeing as both are two in one. I think the two FB sets will be easier to get our hands on as they likely won’t be in as high demand as these HP sets
-
Anyone know if there’s a chance that the CMF series could come out a little early? In a couple weeks maybe? It would be nice to see them out ASAP. It’ll take a while feeling that many bags to find them all, especially if (as rumored) there’s one that’s a lot harder to find than the others
