They really are expanding & making this line something truely awesome....many different characters, playsets & some vehicles.
I'm not sure on the scale. 3 3/4 inches is planned, & I gather that would be the size of the most common figures, those of the children. So I gather Harry, Hermione, Ron etc. will be 3 3/4", the older students will be slightly taller, people like Ginny would be smaller than 3 3/4"...& the adults would be about 4.5" maybe?
The scale has it's bonus points. Playsets & vehicles are no-where near as large & easier for companies to manage, much more so than a TOS Bridge for AA Trek figures!
I may also grab some of the Neca line....but I won't be missing the Cards Inc figures, thats for sure.
For some of us who prefer the more up market looking figures, though with minimal articulation, the Neca Potter line seems very nice as well:

So I'll be needing help to get my hands on them.
The line-ups are pretty sweet, Especially with Cards Inc.
The 3 3/4 inch figures also have fabric skirts, which is a good idea.
I'm never that impressed when Minerva McGonagall is not in a line up. How Mattel could completely ignore her for 3 movie lines is beyond me! I had to buy the Potter Lego before, just so's I had some female professors from the series! I'm hoping both Cards Inc & Neca finally give credit to this prominent character & the rest of the lady teachers.
Here's my old Mattel & Lego stuff:

I really hope so...I'm a big Maggie Smith fan & would love to see her in such awesome form as the figures from Cards Inc. & Neca.

I've seen all your star trek stuff too, and now all these, where do you find room for this? lol
What else do you have in your fine collection? I collect Masters of the Universe & TMNT as well as Star Trek

I have a granny flat to myself, so I have a bit of room.
I have links to all the stuff I collect towards the bottom of the first page in the "What do you collect" thread.

Not into statues. Only bought Sorceress as Castle Greyskull is not Castle Greyskull without her.
Same reason I probably won't look too far into the Neca Potter line...I prefer good movement.

Just saw that McGonagall is already planned for the Cards Inc line!!
She will be included with the Great Hall Playset, along with Dolores Umbridge.
This is a very good idea. Instead of simply leaving out all the women, they are including most with playsets or in multi-packs.
Mattel was too damn lazy to do this.

Yes, it is going to cause a problem.
But hopefully I will be able to find a kind European to help me out.
Though I'm also hoping some Aussie sites are going to buy them in.

In Europe, Cards, Inc, a UK company, is licensed to release figures and is now also distributing the figure line in America through Corgi.

I was only going to buy Harry, Ron & Hermione from Neca, but after seeing the Riddle Family Graveyard scene, I may have to get everything!!
This May, The Harry Potter vs. Lord Voldemort Graveyard Duel with Riddle Family Grave Diorama hits shelves. Harry and Voldemort, already a hit with collectors, come packaged with our all new, terrifying Riddle Family Grave! The entire scene is approximately 19" wide and the grave stands approximately 16" tall with sickle in hand!

Wait a minute. Does this mean I should wait to buy the Voldemort/Harry figure because this is going to be one big box set? Or is the grave going to be sold separately from the two???
