These havent turned up in the UK yet but Im really looking forward to these. Especially the castle!
Anyone know if the castle has been released? Im really hoping its not been cancelled like the Golden Compass Ice Palace playset obviously was..
Anyone collecting the figures? Are they any good?
[Edit! I just found 3 of them on Amazon from ‘The Entertainer’ (which is a british toy chain) so theyre out here atlast! Yay! - Now fingers crossed on that castle..]
Yep, Im more psyched over the Star wars scaled ones and the playsets/beasts/vehicles.
Theres some nice Lord of the Rings scaled ones too, but Im far more excited about the 3 3/4 ones.
I heard there was going to be something like 28 figures released in one go but from what I can tell, that doesnt seem to have happened. But hopefully they’ll get those out over time
So its not cancelled then, excellent!
Im hoping when the stuff hits the UK market it’ll be there with everything else.
Hopefully theres no dumb marketing like dropping Susan from the UK line up. I worry about these things

Quick hijack. Did you get The Golden Compass figures? Did you like them?
I did, but my Lyra has funny eyes. I need to fix her.
Theyre okay. Same standard as the Harry Potter figures (the popco ones)
I felt a bit cheated there was no playset when they released the dumb air balloon thing..
Speaking of Harry Potter, Im still waiting with baited breath to see Bellatrix.. Hope she gets released!
Unfortunately UK toy companies have a bad habit of ‘dropping’ females from action figure line ups because they believe they dont sell
We missed out on Teela for the 2002 MOTU as a prime example even though legions of fans called customer services asking for her…
We get none of the ladies from the WWF lines (the only ones Id even buy)
And most recently the Speed Racer line has dropped Trixie, even though she comes with a male figure..
Im talking about the 3 3/4 Popco Bellatrix, not the Neca one. I have no interest in those but thanks anyway
The UK Harry Potter figures are sculpted by Designworks, the guys who do the sculpts for Doctor Who, theyre awesome
Theyve hit TRU in the UK and sure enough, no sign of Susan..
Admittedly theres no Trumpkin either, and I know both of them are ‘rare’ but Trumpkin is listed on some websites as out of stock, while Susan is not listed atall
I really wish these importers would stop doing this.. its ridiculous and unfair to collectors AND kids alike if they dont get the oppertunity to get the main 4 characters. Crazy..
You’ll just have to explain to your other figures that Susan died in a tragic, drug-fueled knife fight with some Bratz dolls in the US, so there’s no hope of her making it to the UK.
I have bought a 3-Dimensional castle cake mold to make Kev’s birthday cakes out of. And I was going to get these little knight and dragon figures in Target to decorate them with. Well I was looking at them when a toy bounced off a shelf on the endcap and skidded into my foot. It was a Lucy and Aslan toy. I picked it up and followed it to the end where a Target Redshirt was stocking the Prince Caspian Figures.
So I snagged Centaur Glenstorm and Mouse Peepiceek, A Faun Mentitus and a Minotaur Asterius, and a Satyr Tyrus. I’ll head back for the Gryphon and the Aslan figure on another date.

Well, I ebayed one.. Not a bad deal, she was cheaper on buy it now than they are in the shops here, but the shipping brought her up to around double UK shelf price. Not bad for a one off gap filler though. Now Im hoping I can find a Trumpkin!
I expect I’ll turn up a Susan somewhere now Ive panicked and ebayed one
Very much looking forward to a second wave now, I hope there will be one. Im sure Ive seen a couple of figures at Toy Fair coverage that aren’t out yet.

Um….what?! You can’t just drop that bit of information then start talking about fauns and lions. Who is Kev? What has he done to deserve such an awesome cake? Where are the pictures of said cake?

Kev is Adams long time other half.
Is Kevs birthday coming up again Adam?
I agree, better try get some pics of this cake when you’re done!
Agreed. The only part of this thread that caught my attention was the thought of a 3-D castle cake! I was already trying to figure out how to make it green with a skull face…
Well anyway.. I’ve managed to get hold of all of em except Trumpkin after ebaying for Susan.
Interestingly the UK cards are different to the american releases all sharing the same card back with no character description, so if these ARE Euro cards, its interesting that Susan and Trumpkin are still shown on the back.
There’s a castle on Amazon for a tenner more than retail price and I’m fighting against temptation in the hope I can actually carry one away from TRU in a few weeks.
I love this line, I hope there will be more of them
Well I caved in and got the castle off amazon just incase TRU don’t get them too soon ( a mistake, Im sure) and managed to get Trumpkin for just a little more than I’d pay for one off the shelf, so I have the entire collection so far now and think they’re brilliant
