I've read that the next 12" Buffy figure from Sideshow will be Vampire Willow from "Dopplegangland"
There is an article on this in the latest Tomart's (I think the March issue), Can't scan it. read it in Barnes & Noble. If someone else can scan it that'll be great.
Pls note I placed a question mark in this thread because I don't know for sure, but this is what I read.

Vamp Willow, the next 12" Buffy figure. Very, very cool. I hope they bring out 12" vamp Xander also that would be very, very, very cool!!!  |

I hope they do a regular Willow as well.
Some guy from Sideshow...Brant, maybe? I dont remember his name posted over on the toymania.com forum that after Faith, they planned to flesh out the scooby gang...I dont see how Vampire Willow fleshes out the scooby gang...but oh well...I'd much rather a Vampire Willow over a regular Willow right now...

Vampire Willow will be cool in the 12" format! Can't wait until I read that Article when I pick up the magazine at the comic book store.

Is it just me or are they getting slowly worse.

That is...awful. The head looks a little too skinny for me. It kind of reminds me of that vampire chick that was feeding on Riley when Buffy walked in on him. I'm still not buying the 12" dolls...and here's an even better reason not to.

I give it another hearty meh. Better than the Faith though. She looks to tall and too skinny to me.
Or maybe it's just that I don't like these kinds of figures so much... the only one I've been impressed enough with to buy is Spike. All the other ones seem just a little bit off.

The problem may be that Sideshow wants to continue with the 12" Buffy line, and they are so afraid that interest might be lost that they are hurrying to get the dolls out as quickly as possible. This may cause the end products to come out not so great. If this is the case, I hope they know that it is ok to slow down...

Now that I see the photographs, I'm less than impressed. The face looks off and the costume doen't look right. I might just wait for a regular non-vampire Willow.

It either needs longer hair or a shorter neck. Still, it's a prototype, and maybe its shortcomings will be fixed.

I don't think its as bad as some people have posted, but I do agree that it might need some work. Although, to be fair, it could be due to the odd angle of Vampire Willow's head in the pictures.
I don't think I'll be getting any of the 12" figures, using price as my key motivator. They're just too expensive. I know that if I got one, I'd have to get them all... and I just can't afford that. Down the road, if I see one in person that I really like, I might pick it up, but I don't expect to order any of the ones announced so far.

I'd like to get Buffy and Spike, but then I'll want Angel, then Faith, and then whatever else they put out. Long downward spiral, my friend.

Wow...that kinda sucks. She looks really bad.
And WTF is with the 2 different versions? When you are charging as much as they are charging for a figure I think they can afford to give ALL of those accessories with one version...totally lame to have 2 options...
I want Amy the Rat but I also want the whip...ridiculous...I'm seriously reconsidering my decision to collect the 12" figures...
They are definately getting worse...and Sideshow is screwing up with the two different versions...its one thing to offer extra accessories with the preorder but this is bull.

Not that bad...just need to re-work the head a bit and give her more hair...sideshow seems to have started a season 3 serie with buffy willow and faith and angel and spike are from season 2...so my guess is that we will probably see drusilla, Kendra and vamp xander in a near future...and for the one who are wondering why they choose vamp willow , it's probably because they want regular willow to have short hair so they are waiting...just my guess anyway.....

that "thing" (i can't even acknowledge it as willow) is hideous. the face is way worse than off. the skin tone of the head doesn't match the body. the body is way to skinny. vamp willow had some serious curves goin in her leather outfit! and the outfit isn't right. the inside of the sleeves should be golden or something.

Something about the 12-inchers turns me off a little. I'm not really sure what it is. But I still want them. If for no other reason than to have Buffy and Ash from Army of Darkness square off against Vampire Willow and Evil Ash.

It sounds like that the one with Amy the rat and tranquilizer gun is regular Willow because she used a tranquilizer gun in the episode but I don't know for sure just a guess.
