The reason I'd say Dark Witch Willow would be the best choice is that it would have crossover appeal for monster collectors and occult fans as well as general Buffy fans. And as long as the facial likeness is good, the more hardcore fans could easily repaint and customize her into any...

The most viable unmade character--even more so than Cordy, IMHO--is Tara. People underestimate the popularity of the Willow-Tara relationship, which was actually the only healthy romantic relationship on the show {not to mention an historic milestone in gay/lesbian portrayal on TV)...

Yes, the rings are part of the wrist stake rig, connected to the actuating mechanism. That's why, in Angel S5, Spike wears those rings when he uses the wrist stakes. Not having rings while using the wrist stakes is therefore inaccurate for a figure and would've been impossible during show...

Hey, thanks for sharing that bit of info--I knew there were at least 3 in public hands, but I wasn't aware that all were verified to be screen-used. I thought the situation was akin to the troll hammers, where some exist that weren't used onscreen but rather were backups or pulls. It's good to...

It would certainly be nice to own one, but bear in mind that there are more than one in public hands and none of them were necessarily screen-used; one or all could be back-up pieces. None of the ones in public hands is the hero prop used in closeups by Buffy and Faith--Joss Whedon himself kept...

The "uniboob" problem isn't about what's underneath the dress. There is cleavage--or rather, not-fully-cleaved-cleavage--well above the bustline of the dress. But the actual cleft is unnaturally shallow, making her breasts look like a big "uniboob" with a slight crease down the middle instead...

These would've sold much better at SS if not for their insipid 1-per-customer limit. If that hadn't been counterproductively in play, they'd probably have sold a few hundred more of each at full retail profit. Most of SS's Buffy-related decisions have been poor and I count SS mishandling as...

I was very glad they finally gave us a new core Buffy chararacter, and I was elated that it was Giles in all his watchery goodness. The only figure I'd been wanting as much is OMWF Tara in that gorgeous corset-dress. But I still worry that Giles might be a capstone for the Buffy line proper...

We see demon-faced Anyanka in, what, 2 epsodes? Sorry, but she's in no way the core character--Anya is, and it's proven conclusively by her S7 arc. Anya will sell well to general Buffy collectors; Anyanka will sell well to general monster collectors. I think the whole reason the Buffy line...

Agreed. Anyanka isn't a core character; Anya is. I would buy an Anya on the first day of preorders. I wouldn't buy an Anyanka at all, unless they got cheap on eBay. Tara, Dawn, and Anya are the only Buffy figures not yet announced which are must-buys for me. Sideshow should finish doing the...

My favorite of those figures is by far Vamp Willow. She's an excellent sculpt, and pretty sexy too. But, she's very cheap and common on eBay--I got her and the Master together for $30 shipped. To maximize the value of your gift card I'd get Der Kindestod. He shows up on eBay less often and...

D'Hoffryn would open a can of vengeance whoopass on Kit Fisto, and you know it. :D Oh no, now I have this giant Whedonverse vs. Star Wars battle scene playing out in my head...and Han just took a bullet because he wouldn't shoot first, but there's no doubt that Mal would. :lol Oh, I'm going...

It's true that the editions are larger, but you'd expect that a gorgeous sculpt like Vamp Buffy with a great exclusive like the tombstone would at least sell out the exclusive of 750 quickly--but there are still a few in stock many moons later, whereas the situation is very different for Vamp...

This is just my opinion, but... I think they made two major errors with the Buffy line, which they probably now recognize as errors given the different strategy they seem to be taking with the Angel line. The first is, they took a strategy of releasing new core characters sparingly with too...

*****HERE BE SPOILERS***** Cordelia's transformation into "Evil Pregnant Cordy," under unborn Jasmine's influence, isn't what I hated about Cordelia in S4. I might have liked S4 if not for Connor's constant failures in almost every episode to do anything remotely right, smart, or even not...
