Anya/Tara Figure Wave Due in late October According to Diamond Select Toys, the Anya/Tara wave of Buffy the Vampire Slayer figures is due to arrive in our warehouse in late October. All preorders will be filled and shipped the day after the figures arrive on our doorstep. In addition, we’ve just started taking preorders for the AFX Exclusive Demon Anya (Anyanka) figure, which will be released at the same time. The Willow/Tara Together Forever Set is slated to ship to us in early November. The Angel Spike & Darla wave is scheduled for January 2005.
I'm not to thrilled to wait yet another month.... er....

I wish they would stop messing us around!!! I realise it must be hard to get them all over the place but surely they should put a max month arrival date e.g should be ready for april tell people they will be ready for june and then if thye are done just tell people they will ship early or if not ship on date stated. If they are not careful collectors will start to get annoyed...

how many more times are the figures going to be delayed? I thought DST were going to be more promt than Moore, why dont they just concentrate on getting out S5 Anya, NMR Tara and Hush Tara. It would make more sense and would keep us happy, cos I aint.

I was sure MAC, I mean DST (Wow can't beleive I mixed the two up! ) would have had these out by September. Not too bothered now tho'. I've lost all interest in this line now. It just seems like alot of these figures are being produced purely to bankrupt collectors *cough* Triangle Tara *cough*. I doubt I'll even bother any more... ...Palz are the way to go!

I wonder if that would change the UK shipping date? Latest series was pushed back a bit in the US but UK had the all the Willows on time.

...Palz are the way to go! Now you're talkin'! Anyways, so the figures don't come out for another month, oh well. You've waited this long, another month won't hurt.

What did we know before this. That Sept 22nd was being discussed as the date when the regular Anya and Tara figures would arrive. Instead of shipping those out early, DST is just waiting the extra time until ALL of the Anya/Taras are ready.
Now I agree that this line needs to come out NOW in order to avoid the MAC/DST comparisons, but I'm OK with DST waiting in this case. This way, Wedding Anya has ears, Anyanka's necklace is sized correctly, and get all the exclusives at the same time. I'm OK with waiting the extra bit, but this will have to be the last delay.
Oh, and about the Triangle Tara, I don't want to hear anyone blame DST for that. The pricing was decided entirely by Benson Entertainment.

Do you know if Inkworks has been sent the Tara figures by any chance?

I haven't preordered any of these figures yet. I'm wanting to get one of each, but don't want to bother shopping at all the different stores to get them. Now, the Spike and Schoolgirl Darla figures... those I will definitely preorder when I can... For one thing, the lack of effort put into Tara was just a rotten thing to do. DST can't blame MAC for making the scanned figure so that it's "impossible" or whatever to give her more than three points of articulation. MAC has been giving the figures adequate art. since series 2...

JD, do you have any idea if this effects the British release of the regular versions, as well?
