[Raven]

I very much want to take a peek under that jacket and see his "God" nametag!

[prophecygirl]

It's there... check the turnaround (in one frame you can see that it's at least there).

[Raven]

Ah excellent! Thanks

Wow, he is pretty much perfect. Great job sideshow. I have a feeling we will see werewolf Oz before teh end of the year or early 2006.

I think it's cool they chose the Fear Itself episode for his representation. Personaly, that episode and the whole "My Name is God" gag was the moment that caused me to warm up to Oz's character. Before that I thought he was a a boring supporting Scooby Gang member.

I already preordered him because I really want that t-shirt! I hope it fits the Willow figure, like the description suggests. I'd like to be able to make her look more Season 4-ish if I display her with Oz.

Ah man, now I'm talking about dressing these figures in other clothes... this is getting dangerously close to a Barbie collection!

[Moe]

Just a general observation. "Fear Itself" Oz? Does this mean sideshow are moving on somewhat from the early seasons?

[Alyrenee]

oh i like him. I think i will be coughing it up for the exclusive one too as I must have the dingoes shirt. I need to hunt down a willow figure now...hopefully i can get one cheap at the cons to make up for paying full price for this oz and hawaiian shirt blondie bear.

[Sammie]

I'm not really impressed, the face in o.k., good likeness but the neck and hands look a bit weird, and the jacket looks fake.... it would still look VERY cute with Willow though!
So yeah, i DO want this one

[Becky]

I don't think his t-shirt is accurate. In the episode it said something about Louisville champions. I always thought that was cool because Louisville is in Kentucky, and I live in Kentucky. However, what we can see of the writing on his t-shirt at Sideshow looks like it says Sunnydale.

Do they charge your card right away or when they are in stock?

[slayathon]

I ordered !!!!!!

[buffyfan]

Oz rocks!! This figure captures him dead on. I just ordered!!

[SlayerLV]

He looks awesome the likeness to Seth Green is great. My only complaint is also the big hair.

[IdoDoodle]

Crap! I just bought the Wes and Lorne figures for a chance to win the spellbook signed by Joss. I only have 13 dollars to my name and then this AWESOME figure comes out? I guess I need to make some quick cash. Hmmm.....anyone in need of some organs? I can give you a good deal.....Anyone? Anyone??

[CowboyGuy]

No need to fret or frown, they charge pre-orders when the item is in stock. With that said, I LOVE it! I placed an order for the exclusive version. Really great likeness, liking the outfit, and episode choice. He's practically perfect, but yeah I agree with the big hair thing.

Some updates thanks to Brant from Sideshow...

In response to comments that the snaps detracted from the shirt, and weren't likely to be used by most:

We are dropping the snaps from the red shirt - after we did the photography, we too realized that they're just unnecessary.

In response to my comments about the hair/missing exclusive photos:

The man had big hair... you can't deny it. BIG!

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to complete photography of some of the exclusive accessories, like the "Dingoes" t-shirt. We'll circle back and add photos in March.

In response to my question about the changes to the shirt (thanks Becky ):

The text on Oz's shirt was altered to protect the innocent and the powerful. Some sports teams don't like it when you make unlicensed sports paraphenalia, even 1/6th scale t-shirts.

It's a bat, as in vampire bat, definitely not a baseball bat.

Hope some find this interesting...

I'm sorry, I don't like him. Doesn't look like Oz at all!

[abcfan]

That figure scares me! It looks like they have got Seth Green and shrunk him into this. It is perfect! Definately the figure with the most resemblance to the character.

[Dawn]

I agree with SE, I think it looks abit like him but I just can't put my finger on what I don't like about him!
