Which figure should I get?

[devilishdrone]

I am at a loss which one to get only have money for one of the auctions.

[elee0031]

I choose other - you should get the Toyfare short hair Buffy with the light purple top.

[devilishdrone]

Ok so I got a pink top ikon buffy signed by more for 31 bucks (that includes shipping). $25 for the figure without shipping.

Hehe, why do you keep asking? As a collector you get them all of course

[devilishdrone]

Well I just bought pink top ikon buffy signed by moore and the gentlemen figure lol and ba i asked because its my money and i want to get the best one for my buck if this offends you please dont read my post.

[ba|1]

Why should it offend me? I just think you should get the figure YOU like best, and not what others say. Also as a collector I guess your getting them all (or as much as possible) after a time. Also keep in mind that christmas is comming soon

[devilishdrone]

I agree about the one I like best, but my head tells me rare = good and my heart tends to like alot of common ones. so its hard to choose.

[elee0031]

LOL I was right...Other! Not my first choice, but none the less if your happy with it that is all that matters. My first time round I got the Signed Preproduction White Witch Willow by Moore. I then followed up with an blue shirt Ikon Spike, this one was not signed.

I'd like to have the actors signed it more than the person that sculpted it, but hey it's a rare opportunity to get anything signed. If I got the chance I would like to have Sarah and Eliza Signed my MOC Chosen figures of them. That would be super SWEET!

Not neccesarily, a red Pants Willow is rare, but not essential for a nice collection. While a short hair Buffy is (IMO). I would keep checking the soonest ending items and get whatever is going for a nice price (like you did before). That rare Vampire Drusilla Ive mentioned last week went for 13$, that whould have been a great deal. There arent too many collectors anymore, so the figures are super cheap atm.

[devilishdrone]

ba um who mentioned something about red pants willow? i dont see any comments in referance to that. lol

[ba|1]

I took her as example cause shes a exclusive too, but dont seem to be essential for a collection (since its only a different paintjob) like Ive allready mentioned.

[devilishdrone]

Very true. And I dont care much for the series one willow she is so blech IMO I had the blue top red pants one and re sold her.

[ba|1]

None of them is perfect. The paintjobs are lausy, the bases are just poor, theres no detail or love put in those... thats why I do only collect customs...

Try and compare this, made by a professional sculptor:


(notice, this is a promotional shot DST showed us, and her legs is almost falling off!)

with this, made by a mother of 2 childs who is doing this as hobby!

[devilishdrone]

I just dont see how this is relevant to what i asked. or to what the discussion is about. I agree though dont get me wrong.

[ba|1]

Whats not to understand? Youre not too happy with the first Willow figure, I think none of those official released figures is perfect IMO, and why I would recommend buying custom made ones. If you think about it youll see its all subject related

[elee0031]

R U guys having a psychic conversation???

The thread is about a poll of which official figure to get, it's not even custom related....

I get everyone's attention to detail and that the official figures lack perfection, however something is better than nothing - at least they provided good base figures for ahh hem customizing.

[ba|1]

May I ask, do you have any psychic powers? Where is the talk of official? I think were done discuss that... Apart from that poll my suggestions was to rather check offers on ebay or buy what he likes best. I said I prefer customs, wich is my opinion. Whats the problem with that?

[elee0031]

ba|1 you're more than welcome to like customs - there's no problem with that. However be careful of your choice of words. By that I mean your comment of "None of them is perfect. The paintjobs are lausy, the bases are just poor, theres no detail or love put in those" seems a little over board. Don't forget someone had to make these too and they put alot of work into it as well. I'll be it it may not compare to smiler's work, but none the less it is someone's work good or bad and I love that base figure loose leg and all.

Don't forget that Dev is trying to buy a figure.

[skytteflickan88]

I think this is a hostile debate and that it should either end now or change, since it's now looks like personal attacks, not a discussion of opinions. I'm going to ask Lior and see how he feels, but I think that he'll agree that the discussion between you three turned sour(but I don't want to point fingers).

[ba|1]

I dont think so, I got a Princess Cordy with ONLY ONE EYEBROW!!! I had a Youre Welcome Cordy lost both her legs when I took her out of package, I had a Season 5 Anya with glue ALLOVER her face, I had a New Moon Tara with popping out head, an Anyanka wich didnt fit on her base... Im located in europe, austria and its not like I do have a comic-shop around each corner wich sells them for 10-20$. Most of those figures were importet from US, with lots of shipping coasts and custom taxes. Chosen Buffy was about 50-60$ when I got her a few years back ago. Its okay that you have that opinion, but that is mine, and after spending so much money I got every right to say whats on my mind. Its not like Clayburn Moore or a DST sculpter is sitting at home and crying now.

Anyways, lets keep this on topic now, but I think everything is said, and Develish Drone got his answer.

I agree with Sky, any further non-related "helping" comments will be deleted or this thread will be locked.
