Tara Figure Blister Backing Board (Pics)

[Karen]

Thursday after SDCC closed down for the night, comics retailers were invited to attend a get together hosted by Diamond Select Toys. A surprise guest was Amber Benson. She came to do an autograph signing and Diamond provided a stack of the 'Tara Action Figure' backing boards that will be used for the blister packed figures for her to sign on.

Here are some pictures.

It was a nice surprise and Amber was as wonderful and friendly as she always is.

[Cordy]

[Rogue]

Can't see them either... can't wait to see them though That is pretty cool of DST to use cardbacks for autographing though.

[ajmets]

Karen - Thanks again. So cool glad you got to meet Amber

I'm surprised they put both Tara and Anya on the back... interesting choice. I also am surprised that they put Together Forever Tara on the back. If they did that I would think they would have Willow as well. *shrugs shoulders* Whatever. Thanks for posting all the pictures Karen, you rock ... no, you rawk!

[Cordy]

i think they put the 2-pack Tara on tyhe back because there would be 5 Anya's and 2 Tara's

[ajmets]

That is strange that they would put the two of them together on the back. I kind of feel bad for them. Like they weren't good enough to have the card to themselves. lol.

[CMK1887]

Thanks for the pics Karen!

I'm also surprised that they placed both Tara and Anya on the back of the card. I was also just as surprised to see Two-Pack Tara on the back...she won't be sold individually, so it doesn't make sense to have her on there. Oh well...the packaging still looks fantastic.

For those of you who have trouble seeing the pictures, here they are:

Wow, the backing cards look great. They will go great with the Willow backing cards, Im getting so excited about the new Anya and Tara figs!!!!!

[Orpheus]

I was so impressed with the Willow packaging, DST made an considerable imrovement as far as I am concerned on the old MAC design.
It makes sense that Tara & Anya are combined as they are being released together, but I wish the Hush Willow was included on the back. I don't like that only Tara Hush is on there.
I am so envious of Karen meeting Amber & getting the card signed - I have never had the luck to meet her in person. She seems to really care about her fans
