Well this line was for the European/Commonwealth market. NECA had the license for most of the '00s after Mattel fucked the line at Mass-Market, and unlike Japan there wasn't much likelihood of us getting competing manufacturers doing Potter figures.
Hell, I dunno if PopCo even offered to make these available to the US market.
Anyhoo, NECA's generally were alright for 7" collector figures, and they did shrink a few to 1:18 and those were available in some places.
