Wow, it seems odd that they'd tackle characters like this before Ron & Hermione.

I don't like Harry Potter,but I want that dragon Statue though.What's that first thing?

Either way I saw the Death Eaters er wraiths at the WWC, I'd definitely pick that one up.

that dragons got good detail, the other statues look poor qality but the dragon looks the busness

What the heck is with the headless ghost guy???? He's been on screen for what, 3-4 minutes in all the movies. And the wraiths were on for about 1 minute. I can't understand why they don't make Ron and Hermione (the Harry also looks a little big headed). Even with the Matrix, they made Neo, Morpheus and Trinity first. So it appears that the poor character choices aren't just restricted to Star Wars. I'm getting this line for my 10-year-old daughter, but it looks like it's gonna take a couple of years just to get the blasted core characters. Gentle Giant looks to be at it again.

Not to mention the headless ghost guy is a really terrible looking piece.

No kidding...just give the fans what they want. It's all marketing though. Gentle Giant wants to string people along as long as possible. If they came out with all the important characters first, a lot of people would just get those first few busts and then drop the line. Instead, they come out with an essential character here and there with a bunch of fairly inconsequential characters in between, knowing they still have everyone's attention. Other companies do it, too, of course.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that it seems like GG is pumping out Harry Potter busts faster than Star Wars ones, which kind of annoys me considering that I'm not interested in the Harry Potter ones. That's 6 Harry Potter ones already, and it seems like just yesterday they were revealing the Harry bust. I'm not saying that Star Wars should necessarily take priority. I'd just like GG to produce at least as many Star Wars busts as other ones though.

Anyway, I could be wrong about the numbers here. This is just my perception.

That's why I don't have a Chewbacca bust!
