I got hold of a pre-production Tara to use for customising. She cost a bomb but I couldn't wait any longer. She came with a signed box from Amber so, when I sell the custom, I'll include the box. In the flesh, well plastic, I noticed that pre-production Tara had tiny hands and a much too long neck. I replaced her arms for my custom and reduced the neck by a third. Her hands were literally half as big as Willow's. Does anyone know whether this is the finished sculpt of Tara? Here's a link to the Tara custom thread, if you'd like to see it: btvsfigs.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=Customize&action=display&thread=1094399415 |

I would have made a cast and used the duplicate for customizing. I'm sure it cost you a pretty penny and who knows how rare it is.

How much did you pay for it? I'm just curious.

$131.00 but I expect the custom figure will fetch the same, if not more (I'll be including the signed box).
I quite lucky that my hobby of customising now funds itself. I tend to spend any money that I make selling my custom figures on buying more parts or other B/A related treats.
Most figures that I use for parts are quite reasonably priced but a few rare ones are more expensive. I just couldn't wait any longer to get my hands on a proper Tara head sculpt. Now I'm happy to wait for them to come out in the shops before I make more Taras.
I never use moulds. I like my customs to be one-of-a-kind.

MsBigs, do you keep a collection of non-custom figures or do you only buy them to customize(Did That Make Sense?)

I don't have any figures which I keep for myself. I just buy them to use as parts.
I don't even keep my own custom-made figures. The artist in me needs a clean slate to feel free to make new ones. I only have the 10 most recent customs on my shelves, then they go and make room for new ones. My muse is weird like that!
I see my website as my collection.

MsBig, I hope you get a lot of money for the figure. I see how much your others go for and I hope you get a huge bid!!!
