Posted by Nimbuschick Jul 27th 2006

Maybe we'll start getting action figures again. Or more hot topic stuff. Cheaper hot topic stuff? I'm 20 and I have a Harry Potter bedroom set at home, didn't get it until I was 16.

haha top 20!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is as close as ive eva made it!!! lol merchandise. like wat??? scarves n hats?? haha


Posted by willistx82 Jul 27th 2006

maybe they will make more than 15 tshirts so when it shrinks like the Quidditch World Cup shirts you can actually buy another one. if anyone does have an XL of that shirt and wants to sell find me on myspace. lucidswirl. cant wait for the DA jackets and belt buckles at hot topic.


Posted by h_boo Jul 27th 2006

wow. i wonder if that means they'll have more CLOTHES and less COSTUMES except at halloween... cool!


Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Jul 27th 2006

that's cool. I wonder what there going to make. Maybe like less weird looking hp clothes cause some of the stuff I've seen...wow


Posted by alyssapatz Jul 27th 2006

I ususally don't restrict myself to age limits....... but now maybe they will make stuff suited for 19 year olds.......those costumes designed for 8 year olds are getting a little tight! lol


Posted by HPgurl4eva Jul 27th 2006

I have no clue who they are, but I need HP merchandise that isn't a 26 piece puzzle that's super glued to my bedroom wall at the moment.


Posted by Phoenix_Valor Jul 27th 2006

Wow, that's beyond awesome! For those of you who don't know what NECA is, or have never seen their products, we're in for a treat. Just google them, go to there site and see the things they've done with other movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the Rings. Unlike most companies, when they make action figures and sculptures, they actually look like the actor who played the character. I'm not kidding, we're finally going to have top quality collectables! I'm so excited to see what they come up with! :DDD

SSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD=)


Posted by marsisbrighttonight Jul 27th 2006

Cool! Finally something for older fans...


Posted by malinche Jul 27th 2006

Cool! Hope there are things those of us who are a wee bit more seasoned (read: in our 40's) to use! ;)


Posted by Eratosthenese Jul 27th 2006

That is the most exciting news I've heard all day! granted it's only morning, but I love toys aimed at older kids! Those are the best kind!!


Posted by spattergroit Jul 27th 2006

YAY!! I love getting all lthe merchandice, and finally some stuff that I can actually enjoy. I am like, way excited to buy like all of it lol.


Posted by VintageRose Jul 27th 2006

Posted by thehillsx48 Jul 27th 2006

greattt =] ahah cant waitt =P


Posted by Nocca Jul 27th 2006

Older fans? Interesting...


Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Jul 27th 2006

I just went on to the NECA website and it had some of the toys they were going to make. They said there going to make action figures, plush,mugs, wall decor all inspired by the characters,and creatures in HP.


Posted by TherealMrsRadcliffe Jul 27th 2006

cool!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Cookieprincess13 Jul 27th 2006

gooood, when will they start selling things so i can spend more money i don't have? :-D


Posted by Sally Jul 27th 2006

Thats great news! Althought I never buy any harry potter stuff lol, but thats cool cause the merchandise is now targeting to adults, so the next movies are going to be targeted for teens and adults! No more kiddie things


Posted by chaibabachai Jul 27th 2006

that's awesome. I've been wanting some HP stuff and some of the only thigns I can find really are to little kid. not that I'm embaressed to buy it, but it just doesn't appeal to me very much.


Posted by ConCon Jul 27th 2006

SWEET!!! I'm a huge merchandise collector, so i'm super excited.


Posted by Lily_Fae Jul 28th 2006

sweet. I love the HP stuff they have out now. but it might be a little better if it was directed at some of the older fans. as many of us older fans have grown up with harry potter, and sometimes feel ridiculous sporting "kiddie" looking harry potter stuff. me personally, I dont mind. but still it will be awesome. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D


Posted by hp_hermione Jul 30th 2006

Yay! I love Luna Lovegood! Now that ther's a new company, i hope they'll make a costume for her! By the way, it would be pointless to just repeat what Lily_Fea said, because she said it all!^^
