Whedonesque : Comments on 4162 : New Vampire Willow pictures.

The link doesn't work. It keeps activating my refresh button over and over. grr.

Changed the link. Try it now.

Don't forget to check out The Master too! I just ordered both the Vamp Willow and Master for my girls. Adds up quickly when you have to get two each. I wish I could afford them for myself. My oldest keeps them in the boxes, untouched and my youngest takes them out to play with so I get to play with hers too. We have the Spike and Angel dolls and they look pretty good in real life, not quite like what you see in the pictures. The Angel doll has a thinner face in real life. And if they ever come out with an Illyria doll, I know I'll have to get two of those too!

The bad thing is, if you buy one, then you want to start buying them all!!

I hear ya blwessels. I've been beefing up my figure collection for the past few weeks, thanks to ebay. The more I get, the more I want. And I'm a display collector, so as soon as I get them, out of the box they come. Except for regular Willow. She's staying in the box because she's for MY little Willow when she gets old enough.

Just picked up Werewolf Oz, anybody have a Bunny Anya?

Willowy | June 05, 20:00 CET

Thanks Simon, its working fine. Boy that is one UGLY doll.

Willowy | June 05, 20:03 CET

I have a Bunny Anya figure :). Never taken it out the box though.

Simon | June 05, 20:04 CET

I really have nothing nice to say about this Sideshow figure. The ill-fitting costume and terrible head sculpt disappoint me. I'm a huge fan of Willow and I was really looking forward to this. After the first pics, I sort of hoped the figure would be better if I had another look. It may be worse than my first impression.

Haborym | June 05, 20:16 CET

You know, they're releasing another Bunny Anya figure. Looks just like the first one to me, though I think they may be using the new packaging and it -might- be a new head sculpt. I just saw it listed in the Previews order catalog that comic shops use.

Haborym | June 05, 20:18 CET

Hey Simon, wanna part with it?

Willowy | June 05, 20:19 CET

Yes Harborym, I've seen that too. Along with the pre-orders for regular Anya and Tara. I want them but I don't trust pre-orders, so I have to wait until July. That's alright, I've just about shot my wad for this month already.

At one time, I had 3 Bunny Anya's. I sold two of them on eBay about a year ago. Funny story connected to one of them.

When I listed them on eBay, I mentioned that the figure included a tiny Gachnar, the fear demon, figure in the packaging. I sold the last one to a guy from California and in the midst of working out shipping and all that jazz, he told me that he was the guy who played Gachnar in the episode! I checked the name he gave me for delivery and he was the actor.

I sold a Bunny Anya and L'il Gachnar to Gachnar. :)

Harborym that IS funny! How cool.

Deleted because it posted twice.

At the risk of sounding like a stalker, do you have the address? j/k

That's really neat, though. I wonder if he plays with...well I was going to say himself but that sounds smuttier than intended.

faith1984 | June 05, 21:42 CET

I notice on the same page that there is a Faith one that's already discontinued? Is it old? Does anyone know? I didn't even know it existed and thought the Buffy one was the first, only recently followed by Angel and then Spike.

I must say 'Faith' is probably the worst likeness of all their stuff. The Buffy/Spike/Angel ones are pretty good, but...she looks like she's pushing 50 here or something. Oh and it actually resembles Joyce more than Faith! Damn, I was hoping for a good Faith....

The Faith one was released several months ago, I want to say in March. I'm surprised it sold out, honestly. As you said, it looks nothing like her.

faith1984 | June 05, 23:54 CET

Yeah, I was surprised the Faith one sold out because it looks absolutely nothing like her. I was able to find one of the sold out Buffy's on Ebay and sometimes they even have the original sideshow Buffy with the dark outfit (even though it looks like the same exact face, so it's most likely the same doll with different clothes).

The Master looks really good though.

Firefly Flanatic | June 06, 06:08 CET

Well as I said, the Buffy, Angel and Spike ones are pretty good. But I noticed those were all made by the same sculptor and the Faith one was someone else. I swear, I'm thinking of writing Sideshow and asking for a new Faith one done by that other sculptor! It might actually resemble Eliza then.

As for the Vamp Willow one, it's not all that bad, but I wouldn't have picked a snarl for her facial expression. Should've been that pouty evil grin or something.

EdDantes | June 06, 12:21 CET

Sorry Willowy, not parting with it for love or money.

Simon | June 06, 13:03 CET

Figures. (Heh)

Willowy | June 06, 19:09 CET

Willowy, there are Anya Buffy action figures here for $15. I don't know if it's what you want though.

electricspacegirl | June 06, 19:43 CET

Thank you esg, and yup I am aware of the Cinequest pre-orders. I just gotta have one of the original issues though. *spoiled*. Also, nothing I've read says anything about the mini-Gachnar that came with the original.

*sigh*

Willowy | June 06, 21:02 CET

I want a Joss doll!!

Firefly Flanatic | June 06, 22:53 CET

blwessels, I'm with you on that. I want a Joss doll with a li'l OMWF scriptbook and huge rocket launchin' man-toy. Ooh, and maybe interchangable "Hands of God."

TheJoyofZeppo | June 07, 00:11 CET

Maybe they'd throw in a change of clothes and an extra head for the Joss doll. Then we could re-enact Numfar's dance of joy!

Haborym | June 07, 00:25 CET

Willowy, I just came across an Anya figure in a Bunny suit on Ebay. Don't know if it's the one you want but here's the link:

This is from the Canadian site, I did a search for Buffy dolls on Google and didn't realize at first this was the Canadian site
