Congrates Buffy fans. Great job!

I think Spike fans would probably be slightly more accurate. ;0) It is an excellent thing that they did. I have always admired blood donors, and always will. Calling them lifesavers is not stretching the point too much.

I don't think you had to be a Spike fan to want the toy or line up. As the toys were gone and people still lined up.

I agree about the lifesavers

I think its fair to say that Diamond Select knew the action figure they chose for the blood drive would make a great incentive.

I donate platelets about once a month and since it takes a little over 2 hours they have computers/DVD players to amuse you while you're being drained. Since I've been working my way through Buffy (again!) that's what I took with me yesterday. There's just something weirdly surreal about watching vampires as you have your blood draining out of your arm!
I tried to convince my friend that she needed to donate while she was out at ComiCon, but unfortunately it hadn't been long enough since her last donation & my plea of "But it's my birthday!" wasn't enough incentive for her to lie to them about her last donation date. :(

I had planned on donating anyway, but the Spike toy was a nice extra incentive. I signed up Thursday for a Sunday afternoon spot, because I knew I would be too busy with panels until then. By Saturday afternoon, the Spike toys were already gone.

I was mildly disappointed, but mostly I was happy that their blood drive had exceeded expectations so quickly.
