Hello,
Yea they are different. I personally like them because I just like Chocolate Frogs in generally. They are smaller then the ones at the parks and the exhibitions. They are in different poses except for Ollivander, Bertie Botts, and Deviln Whitehorn (They use the same images for the ones in the parks), Jocunda Skyes looks like the one you get in the packets with the square cards instead. But the others characters poses are different. I like the founders a lot. One of my least favorite is the 'Present' Dumbledore. I do not like he's poses at all. One sec he's like, "what's up" then the next he's ready to battle lol whipping out his wand. Hengist of Woodcroft is cool because he points his finger at you haha. The backs are the same as the parks (same description and everything. The only difference is the small cinereplicas logo incorporated in the design at the bottom). They are a little blurry too, and my least favorite part is they only have two transitions/flips. So they move really fast between poses (and I mean really fast)
My favorite favorite is the 'Blank' Dumbledore card.
It's very Cool! They only reason why I really wanted the collection in the first place. I haven't seen anything like it before that's trademarked. I wish it show Dumbledore there then going blank, but its literally just a blank card; with the back having a quote from Ron instead of the normal description. I hope one day maybe the parks can come up with a Blank Dumbledore, now that would be awesome!
Worth the price? I would thinks so for any collector out there. They are made on nice material and some are really quite good. Downside you might get duplicates meaning buying more or hoping to get a trade!
Best of luck on your collecting,
Fawkes
