NECA and GG display HBP products at Comic Con 08
Two companies well known for their Harry Potter products, National Entertainment Collectibles Association and Gentle Giant, are showing off their new Half-Blood Prince products at Comic Con 2008. Gentle Giant had signs on their products prohibiting photography, but on hand were Harry, Snape, and Dumbledore models that looked beautiful. We'll bring you pics of these when they become available.NECA's booth also included new Half-Blood Prince models for Harry (pic), Ginny (pic), and Draco (pic). They also had a brand new board game on display called the Hogwarts House Cup Challenge Adventure Board Game (pic 1, pic 2). Made up of various stacks of cards, game pieces, and one giant game board with a map of Hogwarts, it looks like players will head around the board as they answer Potter-related questions and use the map of Hogwarts to play different parts of the game.

Oooooh board game... I'd like that lol and that model of Draco.. I must say was pretty cool.. but hello if you are making a mode of Bonnie Wright- then her eyes are blue - if it's Ginny Weasley HER EYES ARE BROWN PEOPLE!!! (6th?)
ugh, CFplayer19.. I wish I knew when it comes out... I didn't look at the picture before but now I did and that board game..... ooooh I want that... lol 118 days till HBP!!!!
That game looks really fun
i think the action figures are hilarious . . . Top 10 for the second time today!
Harry pic: Not that great!!! Ginny Pic:Was ok!!! Draco pic: Just too sick to look at!!! Game pic one: Nice!!! Game pic two: When can I start getting my hp house cup chanellage game for myself and how much will the game cost me!!!
Never mind, the Ginny one is DISGUSTINGLY horrible! Her uniform is hideous! Why can't they make her look nice like she does in the first two movies!? I'm so disappointed! But the board game is AWESOME LOOKING!
thats a pretty HUGELY COOL GAME BOARD. wow i wanna play it!!
the figures are a little strange, especially of draco and a little of ginny!!! i want get that board game!!! =]
ahaha i love harry's converses!
dang i want that board game! it looks sooo cool.
WOW! TEiR SO COOL. i want that board game! i still have to buy Harry potter Scene it 2. =D
that board game looks really good...! not sure about those models though... :/
That's cool. BUT Ginny's eyes are brown! And also on the board game(And maybe on the model too, I can't tell) Harry's eyes are blue and they're suppose to be GREEN! Siriusly, how hard is it to make his eyes green! But the board game still looks fun! :)
hm, that's cool. I already have like 2 board games in my basement that I never play, though, so I wouldn't get it.
coolioo
erm i did think the models were a little alarming, esp ginny and draco - harry was ok i guess...i liked the converses!!!
I plan on getting all of those....the reason the figures look strange is because they are two-ups...which basically means that they are double the size of what they'll be...once they are small you won't be able to notice all the little imperfections. I personally can't wait to buy all of it...it all looks really good and I know they will be better once they are released...remember, these are Prototypes and NOT final. They could change everything about them in the next few moths.
The figures of Harry and Ginny are great. Draco could look a little more like Tom Felton but other than that, I'd say they are the best looking figures I've seen. The board game? Wow! Why the heck are they just now coming out with that? It will sale like crazy I bet! I know I sure do want one. It looks amazing. I don't have anyone to play it with but still it looks great!
I would love to have that board game! I have the Harry Potter scene it 2 game, but this looks better. Gotta have it!
I want the Harry model and the game. The models look great, although Ginny's face could use work. And Draco's everything could have a bit of fixing. I'd still get them all if they became available in my area. You try making an exact replica. xD
I want that board game now!!!!!! Also those models kind of scared me.
Why are people scared of the figures? Afraid they will wake up and kill you? And the Gentle Giant stuff, only the Snape statue had a NO PHOTOS sign. The Dumbledore is also a statue. There are 3 new mini-busts: Ginny, Quidditch Harry, and Quidditch Ron. And there was also an Exclusive Transforming Lupin mini-bust shown as well. Anyone want the link to the pictures?
Ok.... that's just weird.
Off topic, but I was looking at an old box of harry potter legos and first year harry was on it, and I was staring intently at the picture when I realized they had digitally made his eyes green! lol... Sorry, Harry looks a bit odd, but his glasses are good.
i want the link dementor92!!!! ya, the figured are kinda weird, but i tought they did a really good job at keeping them as realistic and u can get them! im like gunna get the game like now!!!
I want that board game SO badly
I want that board game SO badly
The models are pretty cool, but the board game looks beyond cool!
Hey everyone!!those models are awsome except Ginny is kinda scary lol.....i reallly really really want the game!!!!!!!
I like the model of Harry better than those of Ginny or Draco (since he's in Slytherin, shouldn't his tie be green?). To whoever asked why these are coming out now, it looks like they want to judge interest in time for production for Christmas. The board game sounds like a winner - any idea how it's played?
alfonzothegreat, here you are: GG statues and busts: http://sdcc08.f igures.com/showgallery.ph p?cat=570 And you have already seen the NECA figures and game.
not that thrilled about the new NECA figurines. No Hogwarts clothing onHarry, Draco lacks the resemblence with Tom Felton that the GentleGiants Minybust does have and on Ginny they enhance to one feature I dislike very much in Bonny Wright; nl the stony hard face she already had in the first movie and doen't improve a young actress like her.
I want the board game. The Harry doll is obviously the best. Draco doesn't look too bad, but the face on Ginny looks strange to me. It doesn't do Bonnie justice. I'm just glad to see the signs behind the dolls saying, "Not Final."
I love each of the pic in this section. I like to have the board to play the game, do you know when is going to be on sale and how much is it? HURRAY FOR HARRY POTTER!!!
