Today, I check out a release from the (let’s face it) less than stellar 5 Star line from Funko. While I think that some of the releases in this line are cute, they have underperformed similarly to the way the Dorbz line ended up. However, when I was at Barnes & Noble a few months ago, I did find a few of the 5 Star figures on clearance for only $3 each, so I picked up ones I felt would be great in my collections. Here is the first of what I picked up: Rebeus Hagrid from the Harry Potter franchise.
This release of Hagrid, the groundskeeper of Hogwarts, comes with his pink umbrella and the “Happee Birthdae Harry” cake from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The figure stands approximately 3″ tall and has three points of articulation.
If you are looking to see what other characters have been made into 5 Star vinyl figures, and possibly get one for a good deal, check out our friends over at Entertainment Earth. They have a few different pieces in stock, including a bunch in their Outlet.
