SDCC-Vampire Angel (Pics)

[Karen]

I'm Baaaacccckkkk!

I took alot of pictures of the Sideshow figures on Preview night at SDCC, but I didn't have a chance to post them until now. (Most of them are of the Prophecy Girl figure.) I thought, if you don't mind, I'd just post the rest of them now, and then I'll be finished. At least for today. (Still have a whole day to take pictures on Saturday though.......hmmmm!)

I thought I'd start with Vampire Angel.

Karen, thanks for such great pics!

If you get a chance and aren't Buffy-ed out (Ha, is that possible with Buffy herself there?) , is there anyway you could get some really good close-ups of the new Spike figures and the finished Anyas and Taras? The final version of the Wedding Anya is on display at the Cinequest booth, and she has new hair. And if you're really in for a fight, see if DST will take off the Bunny Anya's outfit so we can see how she fared.

But, thank you so much for your coverage! It makes not being there much more bearable!

[Karen]

You're welcome JP!

Yes, I think I may have over-dosed on Buffy the last few days, but I think a good nights sleep might be the cure.

I just want to say another 'Thank You' to CMK (Chad) for hosting these pictures. If it wasn't for him I'd be enjoying them all alone.

You're very welcome Karen. It was my pleasure. I'm always happy to help others over-dose on Buffy.

Thanks, Chad!

JP, I'm sorry...yes, I'm sure I will be trying to take more pictures of figures on Saturday. Whether DST will let me de-frock Bunny Anya or not, time will only tell.

Is this supposed to be Angel/Angelus from 'Enemies' coz if it is Great Comparision ;D

[The004Slayer]

I think this is one of those toys that, even if I want it a lot, will never be part of my collection.

[Eternalus]

So awesome. I hate how its exclusive.

If you're willing to pay $60 for the figure plus $6 for postage (for those in the U.S., at least) sign up for the lottery. I have word direct from Sideshow's webmaster (you can speak to him in the ongoing SDCC chat they're running) that you will have a very, very good chance of obtaining one.

I'm personally in Australia. So waiting for the lottery would have meant not only paying $10 extra but also having to pay Sideshow's fairly high shipping prices. I ended up getting one through a SDCC attendee, which means I save $10 plus I was able to use cheaper postage.

I was a bit worried that the figure wouldn't be worth it, but these photos have me very happy. The price is high because there's so few, but I think the fact that there's so few creates another reason why it's worthwhile buying.

It's a shame the teeth are 'rotten' in appearence, but it's not too bad.

I can't wait to get my Angel... he's already on the way to me!

I think it looks better in these pictures. Still needs more of a neck, though.

[prophecygirl]

i really like this figure! it's a shame it's an exclusive, as i can't afford the prices

Jp, I got some awesomely crystal clear pictures of the Spike's, Darla's and Anya's. I'll try to edit them and post them soon.

As to the Bunny Anya figure, it was either a unfinished Anya body, or a generic body (maybe Willow under the bunny suit). Either way, it wasn't a finished new Anya with pants figure, so Diamond didn't show it to me. I guess we will still have to wait until they have a finished version they are willing to debut. Sorry!

Darn I wish I could have gotten this, It looks better than the regular Angel figure. A few minor accessory changes is one thing, but this is too big to be an exclusive.

[slayathon]

Karen is sooo wonderful for sharing so many great pics

[ajmets]

Ok, seeing as how you could only order one per person can anyone tell me how Time and Space Toys is able to sell this exclusive on their website.

store.yahoo.com/timespacetoys/vaan12acfico.html

It's not like they said they only had one. How did this happen? Not to mention they have the nerve to charge $120 for a $50 figure.

They probably order one for each of their employes and then made them go to the con to take them, and about the price, it is the same on ebay.

I want this figure so bad. I signed up for Sideshows waiting list just in case someone that ordered theirs didn't pick it up yet. I think they said they would send an email the first week of August. I hope that I got one.

I'm anxiously waiting mine to be shipped from somone who picked him up for me at SDCC.
