arnet we all intitlled to our own opinion Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...that's why it's ok for people to retaliate against bettycooks' (or any other member's) comment. It's just their opinion on her opinion. -CMK

arnet we all intitlled to our own opinion Yes we are. If we hate this image of the figure, we are entitled to rip it apart. If we love it, we can praise it to the heavens. If we weren't allowed to express our opinions -- strongly, quietly, or otherwise -- then this would not be a forum (or the internet). To be really anal, here's the dictinary.com meanings for "forum." Of note: 1b. A public meeting place for open discussion. But anyways...

This Anya is horrible looking: the face, fat stomach, dress are all wrong. She's awful looking, certainly nothing like the lovely Emma Caulfield. Exactly. It is the Anya head, just new hair. Not a chance. They look nothing alike. If it is the same Anya head, they must've stuck it in the microwave to distort it.

It is the same head, look at the mouth on both heads ... identical. It's the eyes that throw it off.

I kinda like the wedding anya face. It's far from deadly accurate but i can definately see that quirky anya smile.

It is the EXACT same head that is used for the regular Anya figure. The hair kind of throws it off, as well as the angle that you are viewing the figure from. Maybe once new pictures come in, it'll be a lot more obvious that Anya's head is the same for both Regular and Wedding Anya...because it is. -CMK

I'm thinking I might get this now, at first I thought it would be horrible but It actually looks alright, I do admit the dress is a little low down and the bottom of the dress is too big but it will be great if they changed it. I love the new hair.

I really like it. At first I wasn't going to get it because I didn't think I'd want it, but this changes my mind. Sure the dress is a little off, but I can deal. And yeah, they use the same face for all the figures bar Anyanka. Bettycooks, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that. But don't come in here and point out negative things that aren't there.

With a lil' glue and tulle we can make a veil.... and a small thin chain for her necklace..... Other than her needing a bust lift and a ruffle at the top of the dress...I like it......

No matter what though, she is really good! All it needs is a little bit of changes, and it'll be perfect. Basically the only thing to me is that the dress should be brought up a bit. Other than that she's perfect. I like the face and the hair, and her stance is what's making her look fat. Her back looks like it's really arched.

The dress has already been modified according to DST. It now goes up farther and detracts from the "saggy" look we've all pointed out. The hair has been made a bit more accurate and there have also been changes to the face (not major changes, but improvements nonetheless). To those of you who see problems with this sculpt, hang in there. Just hold off on making judgements until the final product is shown off.
I'd expect to see final pictures later this summer once the Con Season starts. Hopefully DST will have all of the Anya and Tara figures on display.

Great news, can't wait to see the alterations. I remember when MAC did Bunny Anya and first she looked kind of dull with the outfit, then they listened to the fans, made a few alterations and she looked really good.

Too bad they won't because this head is sooo weird looking. Huh? What's that mean? I have eyes and can judge a figure for myself. But thanks for asking. Ok, No offence intended. But really, If you want to display that kind of negative opinion, be careful how you say it , you can get a lot of people angry. So? It's what I think, if people get angry and can't control themselves that is not MY fault. Show a little respect to each and everything will be fine, it's when people attcak oter people for thier opinions is when things get crazy. We do have the freedom to ignore posts. arnet we all intitlled to our own opinion Well put! The dress has already been modified according to DST. It now goes up farther and detracts from the "saggy" look we've all pointed out. That's great news! I really would like this figure to look amazing and to see it and say "Wow!" So far there's no wow factor but hopefully it will turn out great like most of the Willows did.

People get angry by YOUR comments and cant control themselves? How about you completly slaggin off the figure? I mean your enitiled to your opinion, but come on your just asking to get critised! And as for 'everything being fine', what i think is 'crazy' is when people moan on for pictures of a figure for AGES and then, even when told its a proto-type moan even more about how wrong it looks! And i dont think the head is wierd looking at all.

Was all that really necessary? Couldn't you just do that all in one post.

Hey! Thanks for posting that picture.
I agree with the comments about the current version but I'm trusting that DST will improve her. Even if they don't I'm excited about getting her.
Of course, she won't survive without some customising at my house anyway. I'll aerobicise her, hike up her dress and put her veil on! She'll also make great part for other customs.
As someone who has customised several Anya figures, I can confirm that it is exactly the same head sculpt as the Bunny/mini-bust version. The face was always slightly too pointy and narrow at the front. It was just disguised by her bobbed hair do.

Well.. I was looking forward to Demon Anya the most for Anya Variants but after studying the picture I've decided it's the Wedding Anya. I think the final product will be really nice. I also think it's great to have pictures of prototypes made available. This gives collectors the chance to voice our opinions on possible corrections and improvements that could be made. The choice to make any changes being suggested is up to DST and I do think they take what's being said into consideration.
