I have been fighting temptation into buying these sideshow figures as I'm a completeist. I've been collecting the 6 inch for years and blown so much moeny on them. I'v always really wanted to buy these but knew if I started I wouldnt stop. Well I'v decided to start...  Which would you suggest buying and avoiding. I found a good deal on a buffy in a red coat on ebay but I heard the willow figure was hideous. What should I do? |

Now this is simply a matter of taste ...
I have all the figures, but the ones I could live without are Faith and Prophecy Girl Buffy. All the others I adore, Angel is a bit clunky for me, but there is a good likeness there I just have issues with the hair.
My favorites are Spike, The Master and Vamp Willow. The likeness is just amazing in these.

Which prohecy girl do you not like cos theres two pictures at the top of this thread. One with hair up and one with it down.
Also is there two spikes?
I'm not talking about the punk spike. I heard that with the spikes you get a hawaii shirt. Is that with all of them or just a few?

I have the exclusive PG Buffy, which is the one with the jacket. I don't like either frankly because of the rooted hair.
The Spike I speak of is the human faced version.
The hawaiian shirt only came with the Vamp version, and was the exclusive version, which means you will pay more if you can find it now. Exclusive versions normally go very quickly on Sideshow, you have to get them on preorder.

I have all the figures. The Willow figure's face isn't that great but the outfit is perfect. The Faith figure is the worst one in my opinion. I don't think it looks anything like her. All the rest I absolutely love. I love both the Prophecy Girl Buffy's. Why don't you go and look at the thread that's specific for them and there are a lot of pictures that will help you decide. Some people love the rooted hair and others hate it and hated it from the start.
The rarest Spike figure is the human faced one. You'll most likely find one that has gloved hands and not bare hands because the bare hands was the exclusive version and there were only like 750 of those (I have one!). You're seeing a lot of the Vamped face Spike on Ebay because he was just released not that long ago. You can probably still get him on Sideshow. The human faced Spike is so popular that he's hard to find with or without the gloves so if you can get one of those for a decent price I'd grab it.
And like I said, Willow's face is off but you can see a resemblance. I've actually grown quite fond of this figure (and I think others have mentioned that too). I just try to think of her as Willow with an odd expression on her face. She's a bit too pale and some more color in her face might have been nice but I still like her.

I also just started to collect.
And I too am a completist, darned it all.
I am only missing 4 figures from the 6 inch line...
Brown hair Buffy
Military Xander
SDCC Dark Witch Willow
Doppelgangland Willow
So I was rather hesitant to start the Sideshow collection. However I have decided to limit myself to one of each charactor. So far I have Graduation Day Buffy, Human Angel, and Faith.
I REALLY want that SDCC Warewolf Oz. He looks SOOO cool!
