NECA Teams Up With TOMY For Harry Potter

NECA Teams Up With TOMY For Harry Potter
NECA has announced a partnership with TOMY to bring some new Harry Potter items to fans in the U.S. The partnership will see the release of, previously European exclusive, Harry Potter collectibles to fans in the states.

"In a multinational collaborative effort to continue to bring you the coolest and most up-to-date righteous entertainment memorabilia, NECA has partnered with TOMY to distribute their European Harry Potter merchandise in the US!

If you're imagining long hours in smoke-filled back rooms negotiating the deal, yeah, sure, go with that. The important thing to take away is you won't have to pay the huge bucks for specially-imported Harry Potter items, because you'll be able to get them right from us!

We're still going to have our very own line for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows later in the Fall, but we wanted to get the news out about these TOMY items now because we're so excited about partnering up.

Here's what's on tap first:

Harry Potter Voice-Activated Flashlight Wand Torches
Available in Harry or Hermione. Record your own voice commands into the flashlight wand. Say "Lumos" to activate and "Nox" to deactivate!

Harry Potter Infrared Battling Wands
Available in Harry, Voldemort, Hermione, and Ron. Features authentic movie sounds, and infrared beams can interact with each other for the ultimate spell battle experience!

Harry Potter Character Casting Kit
Available in Harry/Dumbledore or Voldemort/Snape. Create your very own miniature character busts. Mold and Cast out highly detailed models, then decorate with included metallic model paints.

Harry Potter “Ultimate Dueling Battle Trainer”
Prepare to face the forces of evil with this infrared wand and electronic animated Voldemort bust! Learn up to 10 spells in 3 levels of difficulty and play in 4 different modes to hone your wizardry skill!

NECA/TOMY's Harry Potter items will hit US stores in October.

The flashlight and duel wands sound very cool. I might have to buy these for my little sister so I have an excuse to play with them.
trebleshot:
I'm with Ludo.

My daughter already loves to play with kiddie flashlights (and has a growing collection of them), so she might like this (and give Daddy an excuse to buy one for himself).
Ravenxl7:
All of these look great, but I'll probably just get one of the flashlight wands. If they're rated for a young enough age, I might also get one for my nephew. Part of me is hoping they release more designs for the flashlight wands. While I'll be happy with Harry's, more options would have been nice. As deformed as it would look, I would honestly love to see one designed to look like Dumbledore's wand.

Any idea what stores these are available at? I haven't had any luck finding them. For example, could I go out to Target and get one of the flashlights. However I might not be looking in the right section.
trebleshot:
Actually, having more choices for the flashlight wands would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind an Elder's Wand or some of the others. It could be like lightsabers are to Star Wars.

Of course, I can see why they wouldn't want to offer Voldemort's or a Death Eater's wand. Kids would be running all over the place, shouting "Avada Kedavra!"

Yeah, several more designs would be nice. It's just too bad they wouldn't get the support that the SW lightsabers do. I'm actually kinda surprised they didn't do Ron's. Usually if they do something with Harry and Hermine's wand, they also do it with Ron's (although NobleCollection hadn't done a light-up Ron wand either, and they've done Harry's, Hermione's, and even Voldemort's).

I don't think they're worried about that. I can imagine kids doing the same with the infrared Voldemort wand they're selling.

Speaking of the infrared wands, I really like the look and coloration of Ron's infrared wand. If they made a flashlight with a similar coloration to that, I would get it.
