hey everyone so as i said in my most recent haul video i'm going to be reviewing the bellatrix
lestrange or lestrange harry potter and half blood prince figure now ordinarily i wouldn't review a
figure you know like this but because it's so rare and quite expensive i thought it'd be a good idea
to review it and show you what you're getting and then you can decide whether or not it's worth you
know being in a bidding war on ebay or paying a lot of money outright for it um just a quick back
story before i get in with the actual figure i don't know why this is rare if anybody does
know why both of the baltic stickers are rare please uh let me know and i apologize for any
han dancing in this video i'm not used to talking with my hands and i i genuinely have no idea why
it's rare i mean on the back you have kind of all figures and you've got harry and ron and hermione
jenny luna albus gray back harry and ron quidditch tom riddle and snape and the death eaters and most
of those i could seem to find quite cheaply but the helena figures the bellatrix figures sorry are
really rare as both of them are impossible to get hold of this cost me 10 pound 50 on ebay
in a bidding war which i was more than happy to pay for but um to buy it brand new it was
like 80 well it was 80 the only place that was selling it buy it now was american ebay for 80
so we're talking something like 65 pound or something which is a lot of money um yeah also
this i mean i did get this for 10.50 but the box is defected as you can see that there the rest of
it is fine but i did know that when i was bidding on it so i think if the box was in condition
probably would have cost me a lot more um yeah but let's get in with the review okay so i've got the
bellatrix out of her box now and thankfully there wasn't that much packing material plus i get to
keep this which is uh quite nice i like that a lot okay so this is the bellatrix sugar and i think at
a glance she she looks fantastic you can tell straight away who it's meant to be um i think
the costume is brilliant the attention to detail is fantastic the back of her hair first of all
is just fantastic it looks scraggy but it works really really well i think it's a little bit more
defined than bellatrix is actually is you know her hair is a lot more
loose and free than this but yeah the front of the hair is brilliant i'm not too much of a fan
of this bit i'm not really too sure what's going to be going on with this um here but excuse the
facebook bleeps in the background but i think this part of her fringe i think is absolutely gorgeous
so i do like her hair bellatrix's hair is one of my favorite things about helena's character um now
her face i think is fantastic i think if we just get a comparison with a picture of helena on here
i think it's pretty amazing and my one of my favorite things about helena um
as superficial as this will sound is her left cheek how it kind of dips in and they do have
that on the doll but they also have it on the other side as well so i'm not really too sure
what's going on there but her hair kind of covers that so you can kind of see it on that side
so her facial features are absolutely fantastic i think the outfit is brilliant and the arms here
twist um hands twist as well does her waist oh yes her waist does move as well
so that's it that's quite entertaining does she stand up let's have a look
okay i don't think she's going oh are you gonna stand gonna be a good bellatrix no she
doesn't stand and then with the bellatrix you get two things you get a firebolt
which has a spare a spare hand and which we'll put on in a second and you also get
her little wand which is obviously the her first one in big form i own the second one but yeah
so let's pop this in bellatrix's hand and see if she holds it
properly are you going to hold that um she does but i imagine
because this just isn't weird yeah i imagine that she's going to hold
on to that for quite some time it's quite sturdy the wand itself as you can see there
you know it's kind of very soft and delicate um but yeah i think it's quite good and the wand
is cute obviously that's going to get lost so easily if it's you know a child's playing with
her so playing with it or something obviously i'm not going to be playing with it uh she says
yeah so let's do what i don't want to do and take off helena's hand
okay this is this feels really wrong i just oh i'm not comfortable with that at all it's quite stiff
so you feel like you're breaking it but let's have a look okay and the fact that her elbow bends does
mean it's quite hard to get this in uh there we go wow that is that is really really quite
heavy it looks magnificent you can't really tell you changed your hand over which is good
um you can see how heavy that fireball is um i'm not a fan of that but i think it's a nice little
accessory but i definitely as i said i'm not going to play with it hahaha yeah right but i'm not a
fan of the fireball but it's a nice little extra feature now this is where we struggle to get the
normal hand back in come on helena behave okay first bad point the hand doesn't go back in
are you gonna go in no you're not okay bear with me i'm gonna stop pause the video and put this in
okay there we go helena now has two hands again so yeah in all i think it's a really great figure
and because i am as you can see there an absolute hell in a nut case if you like i think she's the
best person in the world i was obviously going to be prepared to pay enough money for this um but i
do think that 10 pound for this i'm going to take it out the box is great would i do buy it now 80 i
think if i had if i had the money you know and it wasn't like oh i really can't afford it should i
if you've got the money and you're a fan and you're going to collect it and you're
going to keep it in good condition then yes go for it it looks as i said already
absolutely fantastic isn't that beautiful i'm amazed at how much it looks like helena
considering really none of the other figures actually look like who they're meant to look like
if i'm being perfectly honest but bellatrix looks absolutely fantastic i'm over the moon with this
um as i said the hand's a bit dodgy so i think if you're going to be playing with it
you know if it's if you're using it for a child's toy or something and which i guess
is the reason it was meant to be bought for and the box says hang on the box says four plus
so over here is meant to be for a child's type four plus obviously because of the teeny objects
and yes it's a bit friendly to put the hand back on but it's fine it looks absolutely fantastic and
i just think she's absolutely brilliant let me know your thoughts on this also let me know if
you found it at a cheap price or if you had to buy yours at an expensive price and as i
said please do let me know if you know why it is so ridiculously rare i mean it is crazy rare
yeah but let me know your thoughts on this little wee bellatrix and i'll see you all next time bye
