What do you think about Charmed?

Pics of the variants:

I thought there was another Paige variant as well, but 5 minutes on google didn't reveal anything.

Cheers.

The initial release had Piper in red top, Paige in purple top and white skirt, and Phoebe white top and black pants:



The exclusives were Piper in white top, Paige in green top and pink skirt and Phoebe in red top and red pants:



And there's another Paige variant available on ebay:

From what I heard Rose hated the Paige figure with the black skirt, she said she would never wear an outfit like that, so she had them make a new version. Hence the reason she has one more figure then Holly and Alyssa. There is also an exclusive version of Belthazar that is clear, well at least his hands and head are. I would take pictures of mine to show you, but I don't know how to put pictures on the internet. In total I believe that there are 13 Charmed figures made.

I think she looks OK in the black skirt...better than that green/pink combo.

So with her asking them to change outfit colours & change the colour of her figures hair...SOTA must have thought McGowan was a wierd woman!

But atleast she actually gave a crap about her figures.

lol that is true i was debating for a bit if i wanted to get rose with the red hair or black hair but now the red/orange one is not around so i guess the black hair lol

my other question is do their legs move or is just from the waist up that moves?

[Barb]

The first series of figures has no articulation below the waste, but the second series has full articulation everywhere. Hope that helps.

[Rach147]

that does help thanks Barb

[Haephestus]

I found the first series nearly impossible to stand due to their "fixed" legs, although the excellent arm articulation did allow me to pose them with their arms around each other's waists like in some of the promo images and when all stuck together, they stood fine.

I agree, the lack of leg articulation was pretty frustrating that is why I replaced all 3 with Buffy figures legs (Bunny Anya legs for Phoebe, Transformation Willow legs for Piper and Darla legs for Paige):

^^^^

They look great with the new legs. A major improvement over the standard legs.

Cheers.

Wow! Fantastic work Lior.

The attic looks really good with added extras too.

They do have odd feet. I stood them on the edge of the attic rug (as shown in the pic on page 1) & they would stay up fine. I think my Phoebe was the only one who could stand without help.

The second series were really good on artic. From memory I could get them to sit in the seats, though I can't remember if they looked good doing it.

I'm soo going to have to get my Charmed figures out of storage now!! ;D

They were displayed for a few years on my bedroom shelves, but like everything they had to eventually make room for new toys:

Bedroom shelves in 2007:


Bedroom Shelves now:

[Rach147]

damn Artistix that's alot of stuff
hate you lol
i have like 1 shelf of my action figures
im waiting til im where you are at

[Lior Knight]

Wow, Artistix - you have been busy! Nice to see one's collection grow this massively.

[Haephestus]

Who is the 12" lady (?) in the far right bottom corner? Is it Arwen from LOTR? Bellatrix from Harry Potter? Kahlan from Legend of the Seeker?

And I'm loving the Dick Tracey collection. I wanted a Dick Tracey when I was a kid and saved and saved my pocket money until I had enough to buy one and then when I went to buy it, they told me that it had the wrong price on it and it should have been around marked $65 instead of $25.

Cheers.

[Artistix]

Haeph - that is the 12" G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra Baroness figure.
