mypopstore.com is reporting that Inkworks will have a new exclusive Tara action figure.
They say
"This figure will be available by finding a rare redemption card within a sealed pack of the
Inkworks "Women of Sunnydale" Trading card release.
Find the card and send it in to receive your Inkworks Exclusive Tara Action Figure"
I can't beleive this!! I ordered my 2 boxes from them already so maybe I have a chance!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the page, the figure is at the bottom.

I know this sounds soooo cool.
I just hope it's a real "exclusive" figure.
I ordered my 2 boxes of cards a while back, can't wait!

Wow. This is news to me.
The image shown on the Tara card is the blue jacket, zebra shirt, shiny blue skirt shot... which could easily be a repainted version of the Tara figure. I'll see what I can learn from DST about this.

Wow, this sucks.
If it is true and is not somehow available through reasonable means (*cough*DST Store*cough*), this is a disservice to collectors.

I'll see what I can learn from DST about this. The site says that the image shown is not the actual figure, just a promo card image of tara. But who knows, I hope you're right. I e-mailed mypopstore right before I posted and just got a reply. They said that they had no idea about the figure before today either. The guy said that they just received printed sheets on the cards today and that this redemption card was announced in the sales flyer. They have no more info on the figure. Cool way to keep a secret, I guess DST can't tell us everything. It's kind of fun to be surprised! |

Thanks JD. I'm surprised this isn't on the Inkworks site.

1 in 12 boxes? Ugh. This figure will be a pain in the butt to obtain.  |

That would be totally disgusting if you could only get it through the cards...what a slap in the face if this is what we think it is. Maybe it could just be a redemption card to get it free, as opposed to buying it on your own.

Maybe it could just be a redemption card to get it free, as opposed to buying it on your own. Wow that would be great, I didn't think of that. Pretty cool if it is. Also most off season Buffy card releases are limited to just 500 master cases (as opposed to the larger season oriented sets) The 1 per case card means 500 redemptions and possibly just 500 figures. But if I know Inkworks they'll probadly offer the figures to their card dealers too. I think this is just gonna be a boxed version of another figure, maybe chase Tara. Also we should remember that all supposely "exclusive" figures have been exclusive in the USA only, like dark willow vamp etc. Everything else has been available outside the USA everywhere. |

Wow that would be great, I didn't think of that. Pretty cool if it is. yeah it sounds alright but if you think of it for them it would mean giving away a free card and a free figure at the same time  The 1 per case card means 500 redemptions and possibly just 500 figures. quote] its 1 in every 12 boxes whixh i think makes this card almost impossible |

It's one card per twelve sealed boxes. They're making 500 or so MASTER cases (many boxes inside, usually 12).

I hope you're right I don't collect those inkworks cards, but I do want to, and I don't want to pay $100 for a friggin figure. GOD and DST hear you... |

I sure hope there are other ways to get this figure than buying 12 boxes of trading cards! I'm a completist, and few things are more frustrating than having a newly released figure be impossible to get. If they make it too hard to have a complete collection, it really sucks the fun out of collecting a line.
