Thanks to Time and Space Toys, here are some new "Willow's Spellbook" boxset images. www.geocities.com/btvsfigs/BtVSFigsPreviewThe mock book cover is a slide-over lid that can be put over the front or the back. It comes on the back so you can view the figures on one side and the book cover on the other. The whole thing is shrink-wrapped together. White Witch Willow (unlike PPWWW) is the same size as the other 2 figures and is fully articulated. The blood on Vampire Willow has changed to even less, but it's unsure whether it will stay this way or not. Production seems to be on track, so we should see these around May! -CMK Note: This is a production sample, and the product may be subject to change. |

I love the packaging.  But i think Vampire Willow still needs a little work. Maybe it's me but the blood looks a little dorky. |

Vampire Willow doesnt look bloody enough. Dark Willow looks that same(they shouldve given her black eyeslike transformation!!!). But White Witch looks amazing, she will look so much better than the bulky regular White Witch Willow. I cant wait to see Darks green energy ball, Whites blue tome, and Whites base.
quote from timeandspacetoys.com: "Slayers Scythe, Blue Tome Book, Closed Spellbook. Base: Wooden floor with Silver pentagram." Did everyone else get that the books were the same as Willows/Transformation except that the green one would be blue? Thats what it sounds liek to me and I really happyabotu that since I need lots of Willows books!

I can't wait for these to ship out to us!
WWWillow looks good with all the articulation, I wish they would have given her all articulation on the induvidual carded ones though.
I wan't the vampire willow to have more blood than that like they originaly had it, it looks kinda wierd with just a little drop on her chin like that. Oh well I would still buy her.

Those look really cool and I’m quite unsure if I should buy the carded version on WW Willow or spend more money and get this box set even though I don’t really need Vamp Willow and DW Willow.  |

Man, I can't wait to get this. It seems like I pre-ordered it and my regular Willow such a long time ago. Figures I'd have to wait until the secong "wave" to get my carded fig. Poo.

I can't wait to get this boxset and these new images are making me even more excited about getting it. I ordered mine about 3 or 4 months ago and I can't wait any longer. Vampire Willow looks great in my opinion because unlike Bloody Vampire Spike the blood on Willow isn't too much, but with Spike it looked like he was being sick on himself. |

Surly it would have made more sense (and probably would've been cheaper too) to made them all with 12 points of articulation and give the boxset version ginger hair.  |

I always tought that MAC was the one who decided to have limited articulation. Then when T&S Toys decided to coproduce the Spellbook, they realized why not just use trans Willow body repainted, since it is the same. I'm so glad I ordered a spellbook |

I think Vampire Willow's blood is a bot pathetic, theve taken the blood away from the chest aswell now, its just one little blob on the chin. But the WWW looks great with full articulation, Great work DST.

God! this has really peeved me off! Vampire Willow is pathetic and Dark Witch Willow is no different except from what could be done using a paintbrush. The only worthwile thing their is the fully articulated www.

I think people forgetting that we've never gotten different figures in any box sets before. Stop bitching about not getting radically new figures and just think about what we ARE getting.
1. Vampire Willow (which is sold out) with a little additional blood splatter. Now maybe it's not as much blood as some people wanted, but it's still a cool effect and another chance to get a great sold-out figure.
2. Dark Witch Willow.... OK..... Can't think of too much to say about this one. This would be the "lame duck" of the box set, seeing as how the figure itself is identical to the individually carded one. Still, it's a great figure and a great contrast to the last figure....
3. White Witch Willow ALONE should justify the cost of the box set. Extra accessories, a wooden floor base, and FULL articulation are all added to a figure that would otherwise only be available overseas or only to MAC members.
Basically, take a moment to realize what we're actually getting in this box set before complaining about it.

I bought 2 spellbooks so I have one to open & one to take out. I am please with the spellbook. I cant get a www or a vamp willow so now I will have them. The only thing I think would have been cool is maybe 1 or 2 different accessories. but other than that I think it is well worth the money. IMO.

For those of us who have not purchased the figures contained within the "Willow's Spellbook" set, they will be a nice alternative as opposed to buying these variants alone.
Like JusticeDemon has said, we should take into full consideration WHAT we're getting. I mean, if you pay the global price of $47.99 for the figures, it's about $15.00 or so for each figure which, I assume, is a better price than that was originally paid for the variants by themselves, right?
I'm sure those of you who DID pre-order this set can trade it through BtVSFIGS Forum or through somewhere like Ebay--and possibly making profit.

"1. Vampire Willow (which is sold out) with a little additional blood splatter. Now maybe it's not as much blood as some people wanted, but it's still a cool effect and another chance to get a great sold-out figure."
I agree, but it is sad to hear that Vamp Willow is sold out. I was hoping to pick up another one if the Diamond store ever opens.
