MuggleNet has scans of an article about the new HP line of toys.  They look fantastic!  Galea, there will be a Draco Tonner doll and a Gentle Giant bust, and Marcia, there are prototypes of Hagrid, Norbert, and Fang action figures!  The action figure company will have GOF-based toys out in March and then OOTP-based toys in May.  The OOPT figures will include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Snape, Dumbledore, and Death Eaters.  Woo hoo!   They're also planning a Richard Harris Dumbledore from SS.

http://www.mugglenet.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=2013

The Tonner dolls usually run more than $150 and the Gentle Giant busts are around $50 or so.  NECA's action figure line isn't too expensive, at least not on eBay.

Shocked Shocked Shocked That's a brilliant idea!

I love the mini-busts, about time they made a Draco one too. I didn't know the Tonner dolls went for that much $$$ Lips Sealed.

Here are some better pictures of the NECA figures, including one of Harry in his Triwizard outfit from the third task.

The company also has the POTC line.  Some of the figures are 18 inches tall and play movie dialogue!

I like the look of these, but I have to say, most have a bit of trouble getting Harry's face right... the Malfoy and Cho busts look great (especially Malfoy!) but Harry is rather off.

I've just got back from the Toy Fair and WOW!   Harry Potter is going to rule this year!  Cards Inc/Corgi/Master Replicas (all one company now) have some amazing Harry Potter Toys and Collectables coming out over the next year.
From figures (already spoken about above)  some of them esp the Death Eater Figures are fantastic, Die Cast models of the Hogwarts Express, the Flying Car and the Knight Bus from Corgi.  Playsets for the figures inc Hogwarts and other sets from Order of the Phoenix.
There is also a range of Collectors 12" Figures starting with Harry and Drako and a Moving/Talking Sorting Hat.
A Lucious Malfoy Death Eater Voice Changer Mask and Wand, A Wand Battle Set, which is like the quasar gun set. Tongue Tongue Tongue
I will try and get images up as soon as possible.

Also if anyone is interested in The Golden Compass they have a great range coming soon also.
