Deanna, what are those figures in the group shots that are like half the size of MAC figures, but look like them? I've never seen those before!!!

Fivebyfive got it right, it's pieces from the Buffy Chess set that was sold in England. I don't even play chess very much, so I mostly just got it for the 32 tiny Buffy figures. Angel, Spike, Buffy and Drusilla are the Kings and Queens (and as I'm much more of a S/B shipper than a B/Aer, I make Angel "Angelus" so he can lead the evil side with Dru), Xander and The Judge are the pawns, and Giles, Willow, Oz, Ethan Rayne, Darla and The Master are the other pieces. They're fairly cheaply made, and the paint application is often really bad, but Buffy, Willow, Angel, Oz, Giles and Xander are definitely patterned after the MAC BtVS figures, with Spike and The Master a little less so, but still similar in all but pose. Most are even painted the same, down to the detail on Willow's top and Series 1 Buffy's patterned pants (only way overdone). I just liked the whole "MAC figures, only tiny" aspect of them. Some of them are laughably bad, but in a way that's actually part of their charm. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I had photos of them posted, but I took them down to make room. (Quickly uploading one again...) Here's the whole group: ![](http://home.earthlink.net/~davendeanna/photos/actionfigs/all2.jpg)

Thanks Deanna. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Any chance for some individual closeups (or at least closer)? I'm curious to see what they really look like. [glow=red,2,300]Xander and The Judge are the pawns, and Giles, Willow, Oz, Ethan Rayne, Darla and The Master are the other pieces. [/glow] Well, I'd say there was a missed opportunity! MAC could have upscaled the Judge, Ethan Rayne, and Darla and we'd have had figures SO much earlier! ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) So much wasted potential...makes me so glad DST is controlling the line now! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
