Sideshow Faith...

[SiteC]

...Has now been slapped on the ass with the Red Hand of Doom.

According to Sideshow's site, the regular edition is sold out.

Unless its another error...like the Spike one...

These are selling out fairly fast now. I forsee these becoming really hot collectibles in a few short years...maybe even months..and since the sales are so good, I think this pretty much means we are guaranteed more figures....

Faith is definitely gone for real... it's confirmed in the newsletter. Obviously they will still be available elsewhere, and through the Sideshow waiting list.

This line seems to be selling really well, which can only mean good things for more figures . From Sideshow's point of view, considering Spike and Angel are nearly completely gone, they've sold:

Buffy (7500) + Angel (7500) + Spike (7500) + Spike Exclusive (500) + Faith (5000) + Faith Exclusive (500) = 28, 500 units.

I haven't heard reports of them clogging retailers' shelves, which is only a somewhat important factor for Sideshow.

I'm guessing Vampire Willow will also get a boost in sales once the photos of the revised figure are released.

I think the Gentlemen line had 20,000 units so they've far surpassed that in only a portion of the time. As you can tell from the Sideshow site, they even needed to heavily discount the original figures to move them.

Monsters are planned, and will almost certainly be a reality given the above numbers. Regular Willow is a 100% definite; she's already been sculpted.

I'm guessing the release pattern will go something like this:

-Regular Willow
-Xander, Giles, Cordelia (rounds out the original gang)
-Monsters (Master? Judge?)
-Tara, Anya, Oz
(hopefully a Drusilla somewhere)

That's just guesswork, though. I can't wait to see what happens . I wonder if they'll hold regular Willow's release back so that she can be released with another figure or figures, like what happened with Buffy and Angel.

Definitely looking forward to it...

I myself didnt really like the look of the Faith figure, as i didnt think it resembled Eliza. But now reading this i might just get one if there selling like crazy. But theres no rush for me....i dont think my forbidden planet even has the new Buffy and Angel yet

Yeah, I wasn't really a fan of the Faith figure either. But as I like all the other figures I had to get it in order to avoid having an 'incomplete' set.

I want them all ....

I was slightly dissapointed in the look of the Faith figure. Compared to Sideshows work i was expecting more. I still had to order one though. Being that Faith is my favorite character.
