I must apologize for being such a very bad blogger! All work and no collectible hunting has made me very cranky. Grrr.
So, in honor of the new Harry Potter movie and of course, the book, I present a little bauble. I picked this up at the mall last week while I was searching for Harry Potter treats (for some goodie bags I made for the movie). Anyway, it is the
Timeless Collection Harry Potter Bust-Up by Gentle Giant.
Little Potty comes in six pieces, and is very easy to assemble. At about 2.5" tall, I have to say it's not quite worth the $6.99 and tax I paid, and I probably won't be getting any others, but I do like it. The likeness is fair and the quality is consistent with something this size, though I wish the shirt was a bit more white (it's kind of peachy in real life). I found the box a bit confusing, what with all the pictures of other Bust-Ups. I feared it was one of those "randomly inserted" things, where you have no idea what figure is actually inside, especially since the box was taped up.
While I'm on the subject of Harry Potter, I'm actually hunting for a good spice cabinet, preferrably one with glass doors. Why, you ask? Well, I am wanting to put together a potions display for a class I might possibly teach next year. Something like this (for under $30, I forgot to bid on this one on Ebay) would be ideal. Even better if it comes with bottles. Let me know if you find one! Otherwise, I suppose I'll haunt the flea market. Ooh, and a birdcage! Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself again...
I might be dressing up for the book party Friday night, you all should too! Happy
Deathly Hallows-Eve!
