I just recieved a very large lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel action figures today. 27 total and all MIB. I didn't have a Season 5 Willow and it was included in the lot so I was pretty excited. When I got down to her (she was towards the bottom of this very large box), I couldn't believe what I saw. It could just be mine, but if everyones looks like this she is the WORST figure ever made by DST in my opinion next to Chosen Buffy. She is painted Horribly. The sculpt is nice, but the painting is just horrible. Does anyone else have this problem or the same opinion? Thanks.

It is hard to say...if you could share pictures the rest of use may be able to tell you if you got a bad one or if the paint apps are like that on all figures.
Personally I really like my season 5 Willow, I think she is a very nice figure.

Season 5 Willow has it's flaws, but it's not horrible. The face paint is far from perfect (just compare it to TF), but the rest of the figure is great. And it's one of the only DST releases to have "toned" skin (e.g. highlights and lowlights)

I bought one willow S5 2 years ago, then i got a new one about 2 months ago, They look totally different. The first one had blochy skin and bad eyes but my newer one had nice skin and her eyes where better.

Maybe mine is just old like yours Reilly. I would share pictures, but shes still in the box and I don't know if pictures of her in box would show the flaws I see. Her skin is blotchy, but it is also toned - which I do enjoy. Her shirt is my problem. The undershirt is the worst part, although there are more flaws.

I love season 5 Willow. And ironically I think Chosen Buffy is DST's best figure.

Ha henz I have to say I don't think you're alone, but I think many disagree. I'm not insane, I think my Willow just sucks. But I HAVE seen MANY Chosen Buffys, and I just can't stand them.
NaturallyBuffBuff, we've already talked about this, but so everyone else knows Dark Witch Willow is also one of my faves. She is sculpted reallllly well and really does take me back to "Two to Go" or "Grave".

What?! The Chosen Buffy is beautiful! Mine has a great sculpt that look so much like SMG, shes even short like her! And mine has a beautiful paint job. Very clean and crisp.

batboy99, no need to bump up over a year old threads. If you feel like you have something new to add for the discussion then simply start a new thread.
Old threads as these usually bump down newer threads.
