Hey All Its been a long time since I've posted a figure. Ive recently had the urge to customise again and after having the posed body laying around for months- i decided to get cracking on this one. So I started with a PF Buffy body and then cut it up into pieces at the torso and legs. I then reposed her to be in a standing pose. I cut her feet off and sculpted new bare feet. I kept them bare so I could use them in future. I then sculpted the dress, hair and sandals. Premium Formats always present a problem when boiling, so i part boiled in sections so i wouldn't damage the sculpts. Then i finished the figure off using a heat gun. It gave the sculpey a real hard finish (probably similar to oven baking) The base was made by sculpting a rough shape in wet clay, then moulding and casting in light resin. I then covered in sand- this left some nice lumps in the sand. I added some fake grass and printed out a scaled down set of my Tarot Card replicas. Buffy is designed to be posed from a side angle, just like its shown in the episode. I of course gave her a slight blow to her dress and hair. As the ears were exposed, i gave her some ear piercings too! I hope you all like, Im extremely pleased with her and have many more planned Thanks for looking Wayne

That's absolutely stunning. As always, I wish it was mine. I love everything about this: the simple pose, the paint job, the hair scuplt. I wish I had your skills.

Wayne the attention to detail is staggering - I cannot get over the green of Buffy's eyes and the glint, she looks haunted. From the earrings to even the sand, it looks like you expect to look to Buffy's left and see the ocean. You really have captured the whole scene and Buffy's far away look especially. The sculpting of the dress and hair are spot on and you can all but feel the breeze from the sea. Simply stunning.

Oh my lord. I am so happy I could cry. Wayne I am simply speechless. She is perfection. Gorgeous. Stunning. I love the base, and the tarot cards you added on there. I am so thrilled to see you doing figures again.. Well PFs for now. Is she for sale and will you be open to doing commissions for 6 inch figures??

Wow, um... speechless. Omg... I truley love that piece, starting from her pose, her dress, the blowy hair, till her expression, shes just perfect and totally does resemble Buffy in every way. I LOVE her dress, the blowy effect, the bright colors, she really glows. The feets you sculptet are AMAZING, love the sandals, the earrings you added are a great touch and I love the sandbase. The Tarot Cards are a nice addition to the base, simply brilliant. The detail on those always gets better and better, I know what Im talking about owning 5 of your stunning PF Statues by now. I even had to box away the original Sideshow Statues to Display yours more generously. Shame on Sideshow Toys for giving us such loveless, not-episodic Buffys without any detail... Wayne, shes perfect in every way... Im Restless now myself!

Yes, I'm with everyone else on this. It's a very beautiful and detailed piece of art. The face is stunning. You should give her to Sarah Michelle Gellar personally and see her face and reaction to this piece.

Well, sense someone already called it. SMG I think still goes to COMICCON if not to do autographs than maybe a panel. I'm pretty sure if you can get within the first 5 rows and hold this up with a friend next to you holding a sign saying "CAN I COME UP AND GIVE THIS TO YOU?" Would work.
It's not impossible, but rather timing and patients. Wayne should send in fan mail to NBC where she is currently working on The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams.

Wow! I can't believe I missed this before. I adore this piece. I think it's my favourite from you ever! I love her face. She looks so thoughtful and dreamy. The blowing hair, proportions, dress, everything... is just done perfectly. I also love the stand and cards. Gorgeous!! Serious kudos.

Buffy arrived just today in perfect condition! Shes a stunner! Wayne added some different growths from his garden I could use for the base (you might have noticed different stuff on them pics) but ended up with that version: More pics and a little review over the weekend!
