All of our Harry Potter coverage from Toy Fair is in MillionairePlayboy.com’s gallery. But let me break down what you can find:
Gentle Giant
GG is well known for thier break through laser scanning technology. They produce busts and collectibles that really aren’t for little kids, but if you have a Harry Potter fan in your house (or you are one) this is pretty much the most amazing HP stuff you will find at Toy Fair. The faces were laser scanned from each of the actors, and then GG’s artists worked on the sculpts.

NECA
NECA has been making Harry Potter figures for years, and they too are amazingly detailed and not really intended to be played with, more for display. There was a box set at Borders Books this holiday season. Look for talking 12″ figures, and more figures from Order of the Phoenix. They will be unveiling figures from Half Blood Prince as we get closer to that movie’s release. NECA also makes fun accessories such as a plush Sorting Hat, and that demon book Hermoine has.

Tonner
Tonner is famous for making high-end collector dolls… again, not for wee little kids, but stuff to be admired from afar. Tonner has had the Harry Potter license for a few years and is still going strong. The dudes all look a bit effeminate (you should see Spider-Man’s Peter Parker). If you like dolls and Harry Potter, these are hard to resist.

Corgi/Cards Inc
I bet all this time you’re thinking, weren’t there any Harry Potter action figures the kids could play with? Well… the good news is yes there were these action figures. The bad news is that they’re only available in England. So you’ll have to go the eBay route. There was an amazing playset though, and loads of figures and accessories. There was even a game you played with light up wands… cool!

We’ll have video of all this Harry Potter stuff in our Toy Fair podcasts, coming shortly.
