Eagads that's horrible. Did you do anything with the hair or is that straight out of the box?

I will definetly have to style mine.

The side bits r tucked in near the ponytail when you take her out of the box the only thing i did was pull them out, they dont stay down very well.

Hopefully she looks better in person. I hope that Sideshow never tries the real hair thing ever again with any more figures from the Buffy Line. I can't wait to get her, although the hair is a little off, her face is good and her outfit is very nice.

FireflyFlanatic you should email sideshow asap a ask them whats happening with your figures, did you get any emails saying you payment had gone through ok?

I'm assuming there's no problem with my credit card because the Willow figure came about the same time as everyone elses and my two Spikes are on their way according to both the Sideshow website and the FedEx website (even though I never got an e-mail from FedEx it is listed there and is going to be delivered in a couple of days).

I'm assuming because some of you have also expressed this problem with not getting your figures when everyone else is that they just don't ship them all at once. I think they should make an effort to do that, especially on the pre-orders that sell out months ahead of time.

I did e-mail them asking them when I could expect delivery earlier and hopefully I'll hear back from them. I also tried calling but it just rang and rang so I gave up on that idea.

As for how PG Buffy looks with her hair up - egads!!! Hopefully it will be able to be played with a bit. It looks like it was cut to be able to be framed around her face but because of the packaging it's currently pushed up against her head. I'm definitely going to be trying to get it to frame her face which is how it was in the episode. Her head looks kind of flat though above the ponytail. Just curious, there were rumors that she was going to be bald under the hair on top of her head, did you check to see if that was the case?

I just parted the hair abit to check and to my surprise yes she is bald under the hair! Its alright though because you cant tell without moving the hair and if she wasnt bald then her ponytail would be huge and stick out.

I requested for the figures to all be shipped together since they were in stock which could be why i got them fast.

[prophecygirl]

holy god, her hair is err.. different

[Raven]

That dress is just too white also. Really could it have been that hard to match such a color as the original one? Look at Willow for goodness sakes, that outfit is perfect.

ok now i have a question, is it possible that both my exclusive pg buffy and exclusive vamp spike where shipped togheter? 1 I only received one email from fedex but on sideshow it say that both where ship the same day, and buffy got a working tracking number while vamp spike one is the same as buffy but with 2 more number at the end. something like that:

buffy 3453443239595
spike 345344323959543

I requested for the figures to all be shipped together since they were in stock which could be why i got them fast.

I had e-mailed them when they first sent notification that the figures were coming to their warehouse and I asked them if they could mail them together. They never replied to my e-mail. I also e-mailed them after I got the Willow figure expressing my disappointment and, again, I never got a reply. So I'm getting a wee bit annoyed with their lack of customer service and I am more annoyed that they didn't honor my request to mail them out together. Now, I did order two of each figure so maybe that's why they haven't mailed them all out together (for a total of six) but it would've been nice to have gotten something back from them explaining if that was the case.

Nice to know that Buffy is bald underneath that ponytail - note to self - don't take Buffy's hair down!!

[BuffyForever]

Even though you ordered 6 they should still send them out together i ordered 5 and got them shipped together.

[FireflyFlanatic]

When you asked them to ship them together, did you call them or e-mail? I e-mailed them and maybe that's why they didn't do it.

[BuffyForever]

I emailed them too

The regular edition looks okay, I'll have to see her out of the box and displayed to tell if I want her or not, but the Exclusive is Horrible! The hair looks worse than the promo pics in my opinon! Sideshow is getting a bit dissapointing!

I agree, it reminds me of a wedding dress at times.

[CowboyGuy]

Oh man! They didn't do anything to it. It looks even worse than the prototype. I am serious, look at her hair, it is really bad. I am really regretting the fact that I bought both versions. Hopefully she looks better in person. Hopefully....

Anywho, Sideshow is really letting me down. This rooted hair thing sucks! And why is it so hard for them to match skin color on the face to the color of the body, it is really unprofessional. I am thinking about cancelling all of my pre-orders, as I would rather not pay so much money and be let down-yet again!

[BillyBudd]

You'd have to pay me money to display those two figures in my collection. Then I'd hide them somewhere in the back.

[BillyBudd]

I'm not exaggerating by the way.

[kakistos]

It look even worse outside of the box; how could they sell something with hair like that? Are they even trying anymore?

[FireflyFlanatic]

I think you may be able to do something with the hair. If it's straightened out to hang around her face it will look more like Buffy from the episode. I don't know why they curled it up like that. The back of the head looks flat though and I know they supposedly didn't put hair on the top of her head so the ponytail would lay right but it just looks like Buffy was never picked up as a baby and has flat baby head syndrome!

I am going to play around with it when I get her and see if I can make her look better. Does anyone know where I can get a tiny curling iron?

[punkrawkerspike]

My god. If the word 'hideous' was ever required to describe a figure, this is the one I'd choose to pin it on.

Honestly, I thought -Faith- was bad. And I guess now Willow seems like a real hoot next to this thing.

Just to repeat what I've been seeing a lot lately, it seems to me like Sideshow's been a big fat disappointment recently. I just don't see how the people who brought us GD Buffy would actually look at -this- thing and say to themselves "Gee, I think she looks great! Let's box 'er up and sell 'er! Git-R-Done!" (Because for some reason, the Sideshow workers became Larry the Cable Guy in my mind, by way of magic that I have no way of comprehending.)

I guess PG Buffy and Willow are gonna be best friends on people's shelves now, since they'll be the only two that none of the guy figures want to go to the dance with.

Willow: Buffy, why doesn't Sideshow Oz like me?
Buffy: I don't know. It could be that tiny little flaw you've got...y'know. Your entire face.
Willow: Hey, I'm not the one who's nearly bald here, Stick Arms!

[FireflyFlanatic]

Well, I just got a FedEx notification e-mail for an 8 pound package that says "Signature delivery" as opposed to "home delivery". So I'm assuming this is my PG Exclusives. I know Sideshows new policy is getting a signature for orders over a $100 but two figures alone doesn't bring it over that. Now, unless they (FedEx) screwed up on the weight this is most likely just two of the four figures I'm expecting. No update on Sideshows website to give me a hint.
