I am leaving the same feedback for 4 of these products.

All in all my kids absolutely love these 7 inch Harry Potter figures. They play with them every day and it really has them using their imagination in their play. They were very excited opening this on Christmas too so the wow factor is very high. They are very realistic looking - not sure why someone in another review said they were not.

The absolute only negative I can give here are the wands. Of the 12 figures we have, 11 have wands (the 9 inch Hagrid does not). Of the 11 wands, 9 have broken so far and the kids have only had them 1 week. Most of the 9 broken wands broke in the first 2 days. All broke when the figure was standing on the floor and fell over. We're talking about a toy that weighs a little less than 1 pound fall 7 inches. Not exactly rough housing here. The wands are very thin plastic and you can tell they are not going to last long. A big disappointment as the wands really add to the magic. They should make these with a steel pin inside. However - we bought these having read from someone else that the wands broke so I am not surprised.

Anyway - over all I am happy with the figures. My kids love them and the loss of the wands has not bothered them *too* much. For now we are using toothpicks cut in half to mimic the wands.

This is my favorite action figure in the HP Series. I'm fascinated with Dumbledore and knew he would have to be part of the collection. I must admit that his wand broke immediately. My daughter who was just looking at the figure, knocked it over and it broke. I was a little upset since I only had it for 30 minutes. But in looking at the wand, it was sooooo thin, that it was simply a matter of time before it perished!!. Other then that, very realistic and necessary for any Harry Potter fan.

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, so I wanted another figure to add to my collection. I already have a Voldemort figure, and I wanted a figure of Dumbledore to go with it. This is modeled after the Michael Gambon Dumbledore (who I am a fan of), and Dumbledore is one of my favorite characters. This figure does him justice. It's sturdy, the face looks just like him, the detail in the face, beard, and clothes is outstanding, and the colors are vibrant. This is not a figure to play with, though, because there isn't much articulation; it's more for sitting on your shelf.

i bought this for my boyfriend since he is a harry potter fan. the figure looks very realistic! i was excited upon seeing it. what disappointed me, though, is the way the action figure is painted. the nails(the brown color) are going all over Albus Dumbedore's hands. there's also tipped paint on his left cheek. his eye bags are colored white for some weird reason. to add, there's black paint (probably an excess from the tip of his robe) on his left hand. the only perfect part i found on the figurine is his beard (which looks perfect). i would want to exchange this if i have enough time, but my boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon. i guess this will have to do.
in conclusion, the features are really realistic. a good collector's item! if only they could do a much better painting job. :(
