Thanks to the amazing generosity of Time & Space Toys, I bring you pictures of the Willow's Spellbook. Front Side Back Open Accessory tray behind figures Books under figures The three ladies Closeup of Spellbook vs Regular Vampire Willow Note the different hair sculpts Closeup of Spellbook vs Regular Dark Witch Willow Flame side-by-side Closeups of Spellbook vs Regular White Witch Willow Comparison Shot White Witch Willow base Scythes The new Scythe is noticably LESS bendy than the first. They appear to be different/modified sculpts if you look closely. Articulation Example (just for fun) Vampire Willow's feet just to shut up someone special (Yours appears to be defective) Wow. That took a while.

Thanks for the pics, JD! I must day I’m kind of disappointed with the WW Willow. Even though she now has articulation and a matching base her paintjob looks less impressive (even though most of WW Willows released by MAC has defective painting on the nose) and a bit off. But mostly disappointing to find out the completely modified the Scythe from the way it looked on the show. I know it’s not a big deal but still those little defects seem to bug me. Oh well, I can stop looking for this set on eBay.

I agree. The paint job on WWW is not very impressive. I definitly got to go pick up a smiling Willow to slap her head on with some white hair. Is the new DWW a little lighter blue? Could just be the camera. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the pictures JD, I love Vamp Willows new hair and is it just me or does WWWillow look really pale and her hair looks more blonde than white? I also like WWWillows new base and the cool re-painted accessories, I can't wait to get this!

WOW! I love this. Im in Orlando ansd about to leave but UPS.com says that my spellbook is on my front step. Im glad Vampire has that hair, it saves me some trouble on the customs Im making. I WAS RIGHT! I knew that the books TST listed for WWW would be the brown book and blue repaint of the green tome. I have been displaying my Dark Willow with 2 dark energy balls, now Im gonna give her a dark and a green. I am gonna repaint my spare to make it a fireball! THANKS JD I CANT WAIT TO GET MINE!

Awesome I was just charged for this set, it looks like it's worth the ~$40 it cost! Except the WWW with not-as-good deco. But it's all good... from a distance the face deco probably won't be as noticable. I only hope they don't make too many box sets, getting duplicates of figures is going to get expensive... After another look at the packaging... is there any way that the set can be "contained?" It juts looks like once the shrink wrap is removed, the figures are subject to exposure from that side.

Wow, they look great! Thanks for sharing the pics. I'm even more excited about this set now than I was before. In your comparison shots, is the Spellbook WWW the one with the red hair peeking through the white? And is she taller or shorter than the carded version?

The left one is the SpellBook WW Willow and the right one is the PP/MOC WW Willow. The PP/MOC WW Willow is bigger, in scale, than the rest figures.

Once you remove the shrink-wrap, there IS a protective layer covering the figures. The front is a harder plastic with the picture of Willow and the text description. It comes off, and the three spellbooks are underneath that.

Thank God! I thought everyone was going to start throwing stones at me for saying this but--I liked MAC's better personally. I'm surprised to say that after all the comments on how badly the bigger MAC (heh) WWW turned out. But the paint detail, the complexion, the eye ring detail--it's all there in just the right amounts. To me, that's a bigger thing than red at the top of her head, although that's a bit annoying as well. Ah well, can't have 'em all. ;D I love the look of the spellbook, like the change to Vamp Will, but won't feel too bad now if it gets by me. Now I definately have to get the regular DWW for the blue fireball. The green just looks kinda fake from those photos. Can't tell for sure on the blue, but it looks a little transparent. Did the spellbook cover turn out lighter than the first pictures or is that from the lighting with your camera? Any chance for a closer shot of the two DWW's with fireballs?

Thanks to the amazing generosity of Time & Space Toys, I bring you pictures of the Willow's Spellbook. Flame side-by-side is it me or the spellbook dark willow have a blue jacket and the regular a more blackish one?

I must say I am disappointed with the new scythe, but at least it won't be so bendy. I kinda wish they would have made the magic flame like regular fire rather than green.

Or you could replace spellbook hair with Trans hair. I have an extra trans hair if you need it.

WHAT THE HECK!?!?! I got back from Orlando, opened my Spellbook and Vampire Willow has Vampire Willow hair!!! I was very surprsied to find thsi had happened and was wondering if I am the only who has this defect. A few lil nots about other stuff. Dark Willow is basically identical. WWW had way pinker and slightly darker skin pluss very light blonde hair. Vamp is also the same excpet for the blood dribbles!

For those who think of getting one of the few left at Time and Space, their website said they will be available on June 1 and I noticed that they raised the price another $10! It now costs $59.99 for the boxed set.
