Not bad at all. I like it. But i do agree she does look a little un happy. I am going to hold off final judgement though till i see a close up of her face.. I love the outfit nice choice there. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The sweater Tara's wearing is an adaptation of Willow's sweater from "New Moon Rising." Tara wears it, and that's what causes Oz to find out about her and Willow. You can see pictures here.thanks for the pic jd.... the design is really cute. especially if it is actually that similar to what tara was wearing in that episode.

You can see pictures here.I'm happy to see that they're using clothing that we've seen on the show. I'd still prefer pants and a shirt like she wore in that episode instead of the dress though. It seems like an odd combination of clothing.

If you think about it, since the figure is from "New Moon Rising" Tara wouldn't be smiling. She was almost killed in that episode, so....

This figure is fantastic! I love it! It's nice that the outfit comes from a specific episode too. And it comes with a candle, I wonder if it will look like the candle from the end of "New Moon Rising" (the one that Willow gives her).

ooooh. Smart thinking. I sense an overall theme with this whole figure. It could prolly be said then that the bookshelf doesnt for sure need to be part of the Magic Box, but it could in fact also be from her dorm room, thus making it entirely episode centric

When you think about it, very few of the Buffy or Angel figures are smiling. Only Willow2 and the Gentlemen if I recall correctly. I like this Tara, and I can't wait to see the other versions! And Cordelia 2...which was a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE mistake on MAC's part.

I love the new Tara figure, I wasn't planning on geting one but I love it. I realy hope she comes with a wooden floor base that can attach to Willows base. A bookshelf on her base also, we need a place to put all those witchy items we got with the Willow figures. I can't wait to see the varients. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

The figure looks great, I wonder if her base will be detailed or just an empty bookshelf and a floor like the willows.

From what I've pieced together, it would be prohibitively expensive to make a Tara figure with pants. That would require a new steel mold and DST isn't confident enough in the popularity of a "Pants Tara" to justify the risk of higher production costs. It is possible, though, to do minor sculpt changes and re-deco this figure into several different options. DST is making a "new" Tara for the Willow/Tara two-pack, and could possibly make another new Tara for the general assortment sent to retailers. The base breakdown would look something like this (pure speculation on my part)...
2xTara 2xAnya 1xOMWF Anya 1xTara2
With Bunny Anya2 as a Cinequest exclusive, Anyanka as a DST Previews exclusive, and Wedding Anya as a summer convention exclusive (only Wedding Anya is confirmed so far, the others are just guesses). Of course if they wanted to make a OMWF Tara, they'd only have to find a buyer for the exclusive, which would rock.
The "second" Tara figure could be based on any number of different appearances where she's wearing a basically similar outfit. There's plenty to pick from.

I like her and I love that they chose that outfit. (I was going to make a custom of her in that sweater...now I don't have too!).
I am guessing there will be a waist joint articulation with the sweater staying attatched to the top of her torso. That way they gould just swap out the upper torso for a different sculpt (i.e. a basic t-shirt or a OMWF corset top).
The hair looks great and the likeness is good. I bet she can look more smiley with a little change in the paint.
Overall I am pleased. Do we have any confirmations on whether there will be a variant (besides the repaint for the two-pack)?

Thumbs up! Looks good from here. A figure in a dress will be a nice change for the line. I think the last figure to wear a dress was Cordy1, right? Now, we've seen Tara and Anya, where's my Olaf the Troll figure? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

LOVE it! Totally wish she had the classic Tara smirk goin on, but whatever. It looks cool. The design on the dress is pretty ugly. Too much going on I think. And yeah, I knew I was right in thinking that was Willow's sweater! haha. Looks great. CANNOT WAIT to see exclusives!!!!! I'm buying a ton of these!
