I posted on one of the Willow threads but I thought I would start a new one. I was thinking that since most everyone of us are not happy with Willow-but we love the character and want her in our collection so we have kept her regardless of her faults. So here is an idea I have-but in order for this to have a shot we need to "ban together" Last year Robert Tonner released a doll (Ice Blue Syd, Aly I know you collect the Tyler line so you most likely know this) and her one eye was way off center (wall eye Syd) many complained and Tonner asked to send the doll back (nude) for just a head replacement. Maybe Sideshow would do that. It would be less expensive to make an entire new Willow. Plus it would be great for there reputation. I dont know how they are with customer service (my experience they suck but still) anyway-if I am nuts and there is not chance just let me know, but I thought it might be a good idea for all of us. and I think we have a chance since the prototype was way different then the end result.

I think it's worth a shot (though I can't complain since I never bought one). My recommendation is forming a big group, maybe make a simple website explaining the goal of the campaign and have people sign a petition or something. If that fails to get attention, organize a mass e-mailing to Sideshow. You'd need to reach out beyond this site, maybe get a mention on buffy.nu to get a lot of people.
The biggest problem though is that Sideshow doesn't believe (or fails to admit) that it was a molding issue. If the prototype actually looks like the figures and it wasn't a factory error, there's no way they would resculpt it and replace all those heads.

I had the same idea for a petition. We could ask them to make alternative heads for around $10 each (I know I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a better likeness). Then it would encourage more people to keep collecting, and boost sales for Willow and maybe Vamp Willow.

I'm not agree with you guys. Even if there's a problem with the face, I still love my Willow figure, so I won't do anything. I think Sideshow will make a different Willow in the future, and this time, let's hope, they will have a better result.

Francelovesbuffy- I know many of us do not want to send back our Willow (I am one) that why I was considering a sililiar plan to R.Tonner last year-maybe they will consider having us send back Willow & replace her head and then send back to us. or what Spiritus said charging 10$ for a new head either way I would like to try to get something fixed about her.
