No offense Wayne, but the dress was correct with the opening in it. There are several scenes in the episode where you can clearly see the gown opening down the front of it. I think your changes of the face look nice but I thought the figure's face looked great the way it came. It was a stunning resemblance to SMG. Your changes make her look great too but I prefer her the way she came. I think your paint job on her face gave her a whole different expression, it's kind of hard to believe it's the same figure. She looks tougher. I wonder how she'd look if your dressed her like the alternate Buffy in The Wish, with a long braid down her back and a scar on her lip?! That seems like the perfect expression for that episode.
I do like the eyelashes better though! I wish Willow's eyelashes and eyebrows were darker, heck I wish Willow's whole face was darker because she looks washed out. I also like your scratches better than how Sideshow did it. Yours look more real whereas theirs look like, well, paint!
Here's a post I posted in another thread when the discussion of whether or not the dress was accurate came up:
I just popped the DVD into my pc to verify but yes, the dress is very accurate. I know in some of the scenes the skirt part looks a bit darker but that's because of the material used and the lighting (which wasn't so good season 1). It is definitely wedding dress material and it is definitely white. Also, most of the time it is hard to tell that the gauzy part of the skirt opens down the front but when they first show Buffy wearing the dress at home and they do a pan down camera angle of her in the dress you can see that it opens and that it is white. But the best part to see that it opens is after Xander and Angel bring her back and they are marching to go after the master (when they are playing the Buffy theme) and she says "look, a bad guy". You can clearly see the front opening there.

thanks for the comment, i understand what u mean about the dress, but what i ment is, i got the same sort of dress design in terms of the fold etc, whereas the sideshow one is just straight, i could have put the see through bit on, but im no dress maker lol

The body looks so much better having been painted! I wish Sideshow would learn to do that. She looks pretyy nice, but I think even with the fixed hair it's too high up on her forehead. Unfortunately, the hair really doesn't look much different from Sideshow's. It might be a pain, but I'd love to see you try it again and lower that hairline.

I've been working on a Chosen Buffy custom from this figure. I like the changes you have made to her eyes. I actually used the same hair that came on the figure...you can dip it in boiling water to take the curl away. And her hair is straight! I will post a pic soon.
