I have been tempted by the Mattel Harry Potter line dolls since they came out, but I thought since I had the Star Ace figures I could pass on the Mattel dolls...........................until they did the Yule Ball wave. Star Ace hasn't done the Yule Ball dolls, and I have Harry and Draco in the Tonner line, but I missed Hermione and Cho when Tonner did them, as well as Ron, so I decided recently to cave on the Mattel versions.
I'm really pleasantly surprised by all of them. It appears they are on the Monster High bodies. They are much less expensive than the Star Ace line, so I may have to go back and pick up some of the basics to play with, as they are quite fun to photograph, and I do have a soft spot for all things Harry Potter.
I think Ron's likeness may be my favorite.
It appears they male dolls are closer to the likenesses of the actors, and the females are more generic sculpts, but I do quite like Hermione too!
And while Cho is probably my least favorite of the 4, I am glad to have her. I would have loved for Mattel to have done Victor Krum as well. Who knows, if the line is successful enough maybe we will eventually get him.
All in all wonderful dolls for the price, and I look forward to exploring the line more and picking up some more of the dolls.
