Yay and nay.
On the "yay" side, its Willow and the head sculpt looks great. The little half smile is really nice. I just hope her eyes end up more green than blue.
On the "nay" side. Not a fan of Ghost Willow as a DELUXE figure. In the "regular" line, sure. BUT this outfit just doesn't scream "deluxe", "action", "super-poseable" to me.
Also on the "nay" side, Kendra. Not the biggest fan. I will get one Kendra figure, but if it had been Buffy, Anya or Cordelia, I probably would have gotten all of the variants available. I'll re-watch the Kendra episodes and that may help with my like for the character.
Still, thanks DST. Its good to see the deluxe line continuing and I hold out high hopes for the Willow variants.
Cheers, Haeph.

DST, what do I have to do to get the prototypes sent to me? How many millions? Do you take rubbery checks? :-)

We are probably almost guaranteed a dark witch willow and a vampire willow. Don't take that as quotes from DST..just my speculation. The 4th would probably be from the last episode. I kind of doubt they'll redo Vampire Willow and Dark Witch Willow...it just seems really unlikely. Personally, I think some brand new episode-specific varients are in this deluxe witch's future. -CMK

I'll re-watch the Kendra episodes and that may help with my like for the character. Agreed. I would rather have some deluxe Cordelia figures (especially since the new ones don't look much like CC) than some Kendra ones. Still the Willow figure looks nice and I'm glad the Kendra fans get their wish. I'm curious what the other Willow figures are though.

Yeah, I don't really want deluxe redos of figures I already have. The only exception would be of White Witch Willow sans the White. I'd like a Chosen Willow with long red hair. By the way super pumped about getting Willow in the next line.
At first I thought maybe Kendra would only get 2 figures, and Willow the rest, but seeing how the outfit they gave Kendra is not even one of her quirky recognizable outfits, we may end up with 3 Kendras. Which I still think we should only have 2 Kendras 4 or more Willows.
Still, I'm very excited about the new character we are getting, no matter how many variants. New characters are always fun.

I hope if there is a 3rd figure it's from the Angel line & consists of Gunn or Conner.
It would add nice variation to the line & please those of use who'd rather Angel figures.

Well, I hope the make the shirt gray. I had looked at screencaps earlier and they were so dark I thought that shirt was suppose to be black. I hope they make it light gray. All black is kind of boring and inaccurate.
And I don't think we need a whole variant just to do the cut throat. Just put it on the figure to begin with.

ATXBLA - YES YES YES, an Orpheus Willow!!! And a Chosen Willow - but I want to aim high and beg/plead/whine for interchangeable white and red wigs/hair/whatever you call it! That would be such an awesome feature and would be an awesome selling gimmick! Pose Willow any which way and change her hair! :-)
READ THIS DST>>>>And I totally wouldn't mind a Dark Witch Deluxe Willow - i think Dark Willow was the most actioney Willow ever! I mean she fought Buffy for heaven's sake, how action oriented can a meek little Wicca get? So I for one will LOVE a DWWDW (even cool with the initial re-use). They could even add veins to her face that only show up when she's dipped in hot water. Or cold water. Nah, hot - gotta be hot with her burning the world and all. Ooh! And with the veins after dipping in hot water, her eyes could also go TOTALLY BLACK!!! Tell me you guys wouldn't all just pee yourselves with excitement at those features!
(1000% Serious - Can you do that DST? That would be so awesome! Push the envelope guys - make the figures that rock also ROCK! (are there any newer sayings to use? I never got into "da bomb" or whatever it was...just replace my outdated lingo with whatever the coolest way to express action figure love is these days!) ANd if not, it's going on my Deluxe DWW custom! I just need to know what that stuff is and how you find it so I can paint it on her... :-)
ANyway, I will buy every Willow - heck, a couple for customs too - I am just so freaking excited! I Love Willow love her love her love her!!! :-) And I am SOOOOOOO Glad DST did her likeness - she looks amazing!!!! That smiley face will be perfect for a Chosen Willow and so infinitely better than Moore's sculpt which I was always vaguely disappointed in as it just didn't look like Alyson Hannigan to me. This rocks!!!
Gees, I didn't know I could be so happy without ingesting illegal chemicals or casting a spell of happiness on me (oh wait, that didn't work). Anyway GO DST - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Bring Willow on!!!! :-) :-)
Oh, and don;t get me wrong, Kendra's cool too and I will definitely buy her, but WILLOW!!! YAY!!!! :-)
Newt, who loves Willow almost as much as Tara did (in a less romantic but more heroey-fanBoy-Worship-type-way!!!!). :-)

I love the "Halloween" Willow although I agree that she doesn't really fit in the Deluxe Line at all. Kendra has potential, her nose needs more defination, I think that the nose is what will make her look better. I wonder when they will let us in on the other variants, hopefully soon. I really don't think that they will make Vampire Willow & Dark Willow, those 2 are already done enough. It just wouldn't make sense. I was really hoping that Kennedy was going to be included in this line, or at least added in a 2 pack with Willow. I really want a "Chosen" red hair Willow as a variant, "Orpheus" Willow & "Tough Love" Willow would be perfect for this line. Yes Kendra only wore 3 outfits the entire series, but I'd buy all 3 versions, this will make this the only character that has every appearance that they had made into action figure form.

Hehe, that would be funny, all 3 Kendra's. Plus there is enough diffrence and similarities to make the figures worth getting. Plus I like Kendra's hair in "What's My Line" over "Becoming", but that is just me I guess.
On the Willow front, Dark Witch Willow... erm, eh... hmm... I dunno. It'd be nice to get NEW figures before repeats and I'd love "Orpheus" Willow (come on!) just because it'd be funny cause like yeah, an 'Angel' Willow. DWWDW (hehe) would only be fun in a two back with "Grave" Buffy or "Grave" Anya. ORRR A Magic Box Playset! (yeah!)
Though it'd be neat to have maybe 4 Willow's and 2 Kendra's? Cause come on people, Willow needs the love! I like the happy face, but I want a sad Willow face or a REALLY PISSED off Willow face, none of that 'I'm fine' Willow face.
Hmm... the only issue with this line is Willow and Kendra's connection. They had about a total of what 10 mintues on screen together? That kinda bugs me cause the first 2 waves the characters had VERY tight and LONG connections, while Willow and Kendra seem rather forced, and kinda why I was hoping Kendra would be in either a two pack with Buffy or with well Deluxe Giles. Tara, Anya, Oz, Cordelia, Wesely or Xander would have been a better pairing with Willow, but oh well. Just a small thing.

I don't think they should do a whole variant i think it should be a chase like the beat up angel and spike I don't think it should even be a chase. As someone who gets everything, one little line of paint across the throat does not a good chase make. It would have to have something much more different then that. Kendra's going to be a hard sell as it is without throwing in a bunch chases that people will not be willing to pay more for. Even though I'm an almost completist (never got triangle tara), I would not pay for a line of paint. I always say that I buy everything. But there comes a point where you have to draw a line. I drew a line at Triangle Tara, and I would draw a line at...well...a small paint line being a chase. And I would really hope that DST wouldn't choose to go in that direction. The bloody Angels and Spike are different. It is a striking difference, and they are popular in demand main characters. It's her death outfit, I see no problem with the regular version having the cut throat. And if not, that's what paint is for. And for everybody who wants Tough Love Willow I have a question. Are you meaning when she is wearing the to the ankles dress? While I think that would make an amazing looking figure(or better yet a statuette), I don't understand how it would be a deluxe figure. It would loose all articulation from the waist down. I don't care how flexible the skirt is, I really don't see that working. Is there another outfit from that episode that you are talking about?
