Prophecy Girl Buffy! Well, this is the big one folks! There are two big close-up pictures, and then alot of smaller ones underneath. Just scroll down the page until you get to the very end.  My focus was to try to highlight the hair, so you could see if you like it or not. In person, I think it looks great, but none of the pictures I took show you the multitude of different colored hair strands that make the hair look richer and more tectured. The pictures just bleed it out to look like one shade of yellow. www.geocities.com/thebtvsfan/buffy.htmlWell, it's been fun posting all these pictures, and I hope you liked them. Good Night! Karen |

Buffy's hair looks like it did in "Harsh Light of Day" and I really dig that! The figure isn't quite accurate or anything but for whatever reason it just doesn't seem to bother me, I'm just so happy that this figure even exsists. It looks like Sideshow went out of their way to thin her hair up just enough and layer it so that the figure is hip to Buffy's generic hairstyle throughout the series. Also, I was pleased to see that Buffy has the scratches across her chest! I didn't notice it before.
Thanks Karen!!!

Although I ordered the exclusive one I really like this one better, if I just can get a jacket somewhere else. If the hair on the exclusive one doesn't change I think I will cancel it and order a regular one.

Yeah, I ordered the exclusive just to be on the safe side. You can always cancel. As it stands, I'm only really ordering it so I can use the jacket on the regular version.
It would be way better (and more affordable) if the hair was down on the exclusive version. I have been told, however, by Sideshow that "the exclusive's hair is styled to stay up". It's hard to know what that means exactly. You might be able to bring it down, but it might not look quite as good as the regular version.

I dont know but that is a possibility |

Sorry, but I don't like her for a few reasons : I think her head looks out of proportion to her body - especially her arms & legs. This may just be the angle of the photos I guess. I also think her face is wrong. The episode she is based on is the season one finale, so why does she look like SMG does today - 6/7 years or so after that. I have always felt that SMG changed alot over the series - her face slimed out, as did her figure. To me this 12" would have made a better "The Prom" Buffy. Her hair is also her hair of today, not of the early seasons where it was not so blonde. Now if they had made her in that pink prom dress, I may just have to buy her.  |

I preordered both "Prophecy Girl" Buffy figures from Sideshow. I like ordering from Sideshow because they always send me two shipping notifications for each figure from two different websites. Although I do like this one, I don't believe that these are completely done, so the problem with hair on the exclusive version could quite possibly be fixed before they decide to release her. I love the scratches on her chest, it brings such a great likeness to the figure. Although I don't normally like the real hair, this figure actually looks good. It might have actually been better with plastic hair. I can't wait to get this figure and put it right next to the Master.

What I like about this Buffy is that you can give her Faith's shirt and Graduation Buffy's pants and she's "The Gift" Buffy (or something close), you know? Having the hair down like that AND layered just makes that figure look so much more like Buffy. Sideshow could've given her white eye shadow and thick lip-gloss so that it would look exactly a first season Buffy but they didn't and I think that was a very good choice on their part because Buffy is so not the girl she was in the first season.

That's exactly what it means. I talked to Brock again today, at the Sideshow booth, and he said the exclusive Buffy basically has a large bald spot on the back of her head so that when the hair is pulled back it will lay properly.

Karen, do you know if Sideshow is going to have the real hair on more of the figures? *crosses fingers* Please no, please no, please no!

Here are even more pics of PG Buffy posted at Action-Figure.com: www.action-figure.com/Article12380.htmlEverytime I see her it makes me want to buy this one instead of the exclusive one, I hope Sideshow post more pictures of both soon so I'm able to take my decission quick. |

I don't think they will return to sculpted hair. If you notice they used rooted hair on the Van Helsing Anna Velarious doll. So I bet that all of the female figures will have rooted hair fom now on. Looks like Willow is the last one with sculpted hair. Although Faith might have been better if she had rooted hair...

If sideshow goes with rooted hair from now on I may stop getting them. Also did anyone else notice they painted her eyes blue?
