She looks good! The face looks a little different, but I still want her the most out of all the Taras. Thanks for posting the pictures.

This face does not look good. I think the previous promo images were alot better. I hope she doesn't look like that when released, it really looks nothing like Amber Benson. I'm kinda surprised by the face, I really thought they had it nailed.

Her face looks really bad, I hope she looks better in person. Apart from the face this is my favorite Tara on this wave.
BTW, if you will get all 3 Taras. The TG Tara is going to go with the TG Willow, the Reg. Tara with the Reg. Willow, but with what Willow are you going to join Hush Tara?

DST said that the scan MAC originally took was basically useless (since Amber was wearing the jacket and long skirt) and the figures were originally designed by MAC with no possibility of decent articulation. Ehh... sorry but that's bull$#!t. If Buffy 2 had wrist and bicep articulation, so could Tara. Hell, the fact she's wearing a jacket helps hide articulation lines. The wrists might be a bit of a problem to articulate if the hands are smaller than Buffy 2's... but then again why should the wrist cut have to be where the jacket sleeve meets her wrist? It could be higher up. Oh well!

I mentioned this in another post, but no one answered me so i'll post again here. On the sticker above it says 'Limited Edtion' and it was the same with the Transformation Willow sticker. At first i thought it a mistake, but now im thinking not. I know there are differences between the UK and US spelling (e.g Centre (UK) Center (US)) So how do the US spell 'Edition'?

After seeing these new images. I'm almost thinking of abandoning these Chase Tara in the hope that a OMWF Version will come along instead.

That's hardly the first time there's been a glaring typo on a Buffy figure, although this is the first from Diamond that I can think of. But the Cordy & Xander box set was an "Exclisive," and... um, I can't remember how they misspelt it now, but on the back of the Drusilla figures, where it's showing the other S4 figs, there was a very strange spelling of "Gentlemen." It was something like "Gentlememen." There were a couple other earlier ones that I can't remember now.

I may just being too hopeful, but I really miss the thigh & bicep art. on the Willow's and with Tara we dont even have wrist. anyway it could be possible.

think about WWWillow! she only had articulation in the shoulders and thighs at first, but they re-released her with full articulation. lets just hope that they do this with Tara!

Yea, but DST had already made that body for trans Willow.. That body was just re-used, and i dont think DST is going to give her anymore articulation. Imo, I dont think they should if its going to make the figure(s) look less appealing. But anyway, I love this figure, some things could be changed(like the face) to make it look more Taraish, But the clothes, accesories, and base is awsome!

I love her acessories and outfit... I'm probably just being positive about her because I just pre-ordered her.

Here's my Wizard World Chicago Update: 1. The necklace is painted on. When asked about reusing the Tara sculpt for three different figures, DST said that the scan MAC originally took was basically useless (since Amber was wearing the jacket and long skirt) and the figures were originally designed by MAC with no possibility of decent articulation. Add to that the questionable popularity of Tara and they didn't feel they could justify spending the extra money and taking the extra risk fo multiple sculpts. They DO have a new scan of Amber taken in San Diego, so this could change for a future Tara figure.... but not in the immediate future. Hmm... I don't like that Diamond and Mac don't think other sculpts would sell. I can imagine so many of us buying a Looney-Pants Tara or even Once More With Feeling Tara.

I am so in love with this figure. I agree with those who say that this is better than the original Tara. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know if she's available anywhere online for a reasonable price?
