DST is doing a great job of making things as accurate as possible, IMO. Just because a minute number of figures aren't specifically from an episode, it doesn't mean they suck. -CMK HAHAHAHA! In no way do they suck. Oh buddy. You'll have to quote where I said they suck, cause I'm pretty sure I never did. Your post was cute though, your whole defending DST thing. I LOVE all these figures that we're getting. But sticking to episodes would be cooler I think cause then they'd have something to go from that they already know looks good. Anya in baggy jeans.... not seeing it. I really love all the episode specific characters because I can recognize them right away and not have to worry about if what they're wearing could be accurate or not, cause it already is! Thanks for keeping me on track though CMK, for a second there I almost forgot I'm 20 years old and have an opinion. Whew! ;D

Whew! ;D You're right...you in no way said that they sucked, so that's my mistake for putting that in my post. It has now been erased. Also, I'm glad I could help you remind yourself of your age and capabilities. You're right to say that you have an opinion...but so does everyone else. My post was just MY OPINION on YOUR OPINION. So, werewolf, thanks for keeping me on track. For a second there I almost forgot how defensive and whiny people can be! Whew! ;D -CMK

This is the perfect outfit for the peach and white color scheme! Will the legs be articulated, or one solid piece? Looks a lot like the Charmed figures legs, and I would not fault DST for wanting to save some money. But the colors look awful. The red top doesn't work with blue jeans. Just looks weird. Now if the pants were white and the shirt was orange and white, it would look great. Think Anya from the end of The Replacement. Also, lighter colors will make the Bunny suit look better because they won't show through like red and blue will. And are they not going to give her hair accurate to the episode? I was really looking forward to a longer-haired Anya. Just please give her better colors! Last thing: Did anyone else notice Emma Caulfield's eyes in the promo picture? They are orange! She looks possessed and completely creepy! You're right about the colors...the outfit is similar and they would look better. But why oh why are the pants so baggy? And have we ever seen her in sandals? I don't say this to sound pissed, serious questions all. But I do realize how lucky we are to have her...so yay!

I'm definately buying two of these. I like it that she is actually wearing jeans, they are a little baggy, but then again I'm sure that this is just a prototype and the jeans will look better. I also really hope that they paint the top different.

Why is Anya wearing Willows jeans??? That pic looks like it Anyas top was merged with Willows bottom and given sandals... I like the footwear mind you. But those are so the same pants that Willow is wearing in EVERY VERSION of her new figures... Which is kinda a coincidence since the original Bunny Anyas body under the costume was a version 1 Willow... I think Im gonna just stick with OMWF Anya... If she had like capris on or something. Anya likes the tighter clothing, that should be depicted this figure. Capris would suit her or even just tighter jeans... Maybe it IS just a prototype version for now... *shugs*

She has a slight lean to one side.

If you look really closely at the folds in the jeans and all you can see they're not Will's legs -- and not just around the bottom, but around the knees as well. Also, looks like she has more detail around the waistband.
I agree that they're kinda slouchy in through the legs, but I love the way they sit on her hips. I think the low cut saves them and keeps them Anya for me. I also completely adore the sandals -- definitely Anya footwear.
I'd be happy if they'd tweak the color of her top -- I think the extra difference would also be another way to encourage more people to buy both Bunny Anya and regular Anya -- but right now with the red-and-blue she reminds me of her being all patriotic and getting into capitalism on the show, so leaving it red definitely won't stop me from buying this variant.

i suppose when you put it that way that is a really good point. i might just have to get 2. one for the bunny suit on and the other with it off.

HATE the sandals!
What is with this trend of putting "action" women in sandals (both Phoebe and Paige in the Charmed line sport sandals and thongs respectively).
I like to have my figures in clothing appropriate to action settings/dioramas.
Maybe I'm too picky, but I doubt Anya would wear sandals out vampire slaying and the skirt is obviously unsuitable for that kind of display as well. Not big on the pants as well, baggy pants just don't say Anya to me, she was almost always in quite fitted clothing (at least from memory).
Plus I was hoping to cut Anyanka in half and merge her with Bunny Anya's legs to create a "pants" Anyanka, but with the sandals that is now a serious job as her shoes will also need replacing and I'm already looking for lower legs for Phoebe and Paige from Charmed.
I sure hope that when a Buffy figure comes out there is at least one version in pants, boots and a shirt/jacket that she could have concievably worn out to slay vampires.
Looks like no Taras or Anyas for me. Good thing Vampire Darla looks so cool, not to mention Punk, Vampire and regular Spike and maybe even beaten up Spike.
Cheers, Haeph.

Ooo nice...the legs look slightly oddly positioned but that is understabndable to get the bunny suit to fit properly. I'm really looking forward to this one!

Maybe I'm too picky, but I doubt Anya would wear sandals out vampire slaying and the skirt is obviously unsuitable for that kind of display as well. My first thought was: well, Anya comes with the Magic Box display, so she's not out slaying. But then I thought that badness does always comes to the Magic Box and they end up doing their fair share of fighting there. I'm not sure I find it any more plausible to have Anya seriously slaying in high heels than in those sandals, though. I could definitely buy that she was dressed for a day at work and they were surprised by some baddie. I've always thought of Anya as one of the less-physical-fighting members of the gang, like Tara. I know they both get out there on patrol, but to me 'action hero' isn't their number one descriptor the way it is with Buffy.

It almost looks likt three pictures edited together. Is that the actual prototype or just an idea of what it will look like? I think they need to make the sandals all black and into thicker heel type shoes.

it might have something to do with, by my recollection, Anya going slaying...4 times in the series?
"Fool for love" - with Willow, Xander, Riley and the loud chips - she was wearing a skirt.
"Intervention" - with the sexbot. She was wearing a skirt.
"Bargaining" - that's slay gear
"Same Time, Same Place" - the gnarl, all fair

Ooh, I really like it! I think the outfit is really cute, even if they're re-using the regular Anya top, it looks really nice paired with jeans and sandals.
Really looking forward to this.

I hate to say this, but unless you have seen a different version than that pic... They are the same pants. I just compared them to my Transformation Willow. The folds in the legs match up totally. So as far as the lean is concerned. That section is prolly the new sculpt with the old legs put on and retooled feet. But they are at least the same legs. It is pretty easy to tell after seeing the same pair redone in 5 different colors/textures of pants... ^_^

And even if they were reusing parts, they wouldn't redo half of the leg and reuse the lower half. You'll see....

It might look like some folds in the cloth have been re-used, but I can guarantee that these will be different legs. The "naked" Anya body was used as a base for every figure so far, including Bunn Anya. The Willow pants just wouldn't fit that body.

Alright, Alright. I admit that I dont see it still. The pants version of the legs look more spread out than the ones in the skirts. BUT. I, sincerely, am sorry none the less. I hate when ppl argue over petty things in messageboards and I was kinda cocky n defensive so I appologize. Maybe its just casue that pic is so tiny. I'm sure that when the bigger picture is released I will see the difference.

I really like this figure a lot. I can't wait to add it to my collection. I just hope that she actually has a base unlike the previous Bunny Anya and I hope that she has some really good accesories.
