I think this varient looks fine, it is just as good as the normal Tara figure. The chase is by-far the best though.

I am not thrilled about this Tara at all, to be honest. But ya know I understand that its hard when you dont feel like doin rescupting to her to make it look like the real outfit she wore.... but stilll...
I am stickin with Chase Tara as my Tara rep for the group. She has her first app. outfit, but just looks like the later, more confident Tara that i love so much! The other thing is that I have so many Willows already thanks to this wave... I dont really need one more even tho this one could very much rock... And Miss Kitty isnt worth the price for me as the only original sculpt in the box hehe.

You know I am not gonna complain one bit. I have already pre-ordered all the figures except the OMWF Anya cause I have not found a pre-order for her. But the fact is we are getting figures still. Nice figures at that. I am more impressed by the chase yes. But no figures would be harder to live with!!! ;D

I like her more then the regular Tara, but the chase is still my favorite, which I'm sure they intended to have happen. I really like her, I don't see what the big deal is, everything looks fine. As far as the resculpting goes they did do new sculpts for ALL of the Anya figures, they probably think she will have more sales potential then Tara. I ordered this already and really am happy with it. I can't wait for all these figures now. Oh also, I haven't found OMWF Anya anywhere either. All and all I am really happy with the Tara figures.

While they did a nice job, and it looks pretty cool. After seeing the pictures of her in the episode, I'm just like "WHAT!" It doesn't resemble Tara in that outfit very much. In a way I can describe it: it looks like if they were to take a figure in a tuxedo and then repaint it plaid and say the figure is now wearing a flannel shirt. The sculpting needs to be changed for it to look like an extremely baggy hoody on top of a button up shirt, on top of a tank top. The hair! Come on DST, is it too much trouble to give her the grown out highlights look! Looking at this picture aside the other Hush Tara with the exact same hair it looks too similar. Way too similar. I really wish for at least one of the Tara's they'd switch it up a bit. And yes, I realize it's the same episode for 2 figures so her hair wouldn't change, but at least for the normal Tara and the 2 others, make them different. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WILLOW!!!!! I agree. I still ordered it though, so it can't bother me too much

I didn't even recognise the outfit at first. I don't care for it, but maybe when we see it with the willow we will think it's better looking.

OMG! She's adorable! I LOVE IT! I can't wait to get this figure. It's sooooooo frickin awesome! She rules! (I'm talking about Miss Kitty, who'd you think I was talking about?) I think the Tara is not that bad. She's just okay. Out of the best looking figures, I think she comes last in this line though. What's up with the extra-flamey candle? I thought this set was supposed to come with a "love" candle?

I'm not really excited about this Tara as much as the Chase Tara,but I still think it looks good and the flame candle and miss kitty are nice accessorys

AFX confirms that they will not have Hush Tara (blue coat) as an exclusive. The information on Action-Figure.com is a mistake.

Well, I dig the accessories, but other than that, I'm not too excited. The Hush paint job is my favorite, still.
I guess I was just hoping that this one would be more different than just a paint job. I was going to say I wish we had a Tara figure wearing slacks for better posability, but then again, Tara always seemed to wear skirts more than she ever wore slacks.

I don't like it, it would be better if a whole new jacket was sculped because in the episode Tara wore a blue shirt under a navy hooded jacket. This is just a poor repaint, I prefer the other Hush tara. The only thing I like is the accessories.

I am thinking the same thing..dst is/has done so weel with anya & Willow..but they dont seem to care much about Tara.

We've been saying for quite a while now that Tara wasn't getting any new sculpts so all of those who are disappointed now becuase she doesnt have one shouldn't be too surprised. Diamond feels that Tara wouldn't sell as well so investing in a new sculpt would be too risky.

Diamond feels that Tara wouldn't sell as well so investing in a new sculpt would be too risky. I think for the most part everyone realizes that. What we're saying is that it's a poor outfit to choose if you're not going to resculpt it. And we've heard 1000 times that she wouldn't get a new resculpt. Saying she needs to have the jacket sculpted on simply means that the outfit just doesn't work too well for this variant.

Tara looks nice, but I still prefer the chase one.

The ironic(is that right?) thing is that Chase Tara is sold out already for pre-order, and Together Forever set is going to be a big seller as well. So hopefully there will be another version down the line with a differnt sculpt. The fact that they didnt think she would sell well is kinda poor research on their part... A Tara figure has been in high demand even before she died... *shrugs* So hopefully we are proving them wrong and making all of the Taras big sellers.

I don't like these colors on her. To me they just don't remind me of Tara. I would much prefer the coloring to maybe be orange and yellow, or just something bright.
