Here's the link: www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=comiccon05I don't see any full photos, accessories, list, etc. quite yet. Nor do I see confirmation that they will do a lottery for non-con attendees, like they did with Vampire Angel, but I'm assuming they will, and will announce all the details soon.

Wow! That's awesome. It is a little frustrating though that two of the best figures (Werewolf Oz and Vampire Angel) have been so limited This'll go for a packet on ebay.

It is frustrating that you either have to hope they have a lottery if you can't go to this (and I live in Massachusetts, so definitely can't go) and then you have to hope they contact you. I signed up for the lottery for Vamp Angel and it came and went so I went and bought one on Ebay for a lot of money and they contacted me a couple of weeks later, way past when they said they'd be contacting people. I was really annoyed about that.
This looks really cool! I wish we could see the whole figure and what comes with him. I'm obviously going to try and get him but it bugs me that so many people who don't want the figures get them and then turn around and sell them on Ebay for huge profits.
This isn't going to happen but wouldn't it be cool if one of his accessories was a little minature library cage?

Wow...he looks very cool. It's too bad I probably won't be able to get him. I really hate Con-Exclusives.

Meh. I was hoping for a full-wolf Oz after reading the title. This guy isn't all that exciting, though they get kudos for being episode-specific with that half-transformed look.

Definately a cool figure, yet I too was hoping for a full werewolf Oz figure. Hopefully he will be in a lottery like last time, so that I can get one. That's the only way that I got a Vampire Angel last year.

Yeah, I had pretty much the same reaction. I was expecting a full-on-monster werewolf creature, not a transforming Oz. Probably 'cause Sideshow is so known for making cool monsters. But, I guess most Buffy fans will actuallly like that the figure is recognizable as Oz, not a furball.

Interesting. I would have preferred a full wolfed out Oz or Vampire Xander but this is still cool. Hopefully we get a full wolf Oz in the regular line.

I prefer it this way over a full out werewolf. I like that we can still see Oz. I would've been disappointed if it had been a complete transformation. But, maybe they'll come out with one that is a full transformation for those of you who would prefer him that way.

This figure looks really good. Why would Sideshow make him look like he came out of the movie Dog Soldiers when he only looked like that for 1 or 2 episodes?

Oh yeah...exclusives suck. It pisses me off when I can't purchase a figure I want for a halfway decent price.

From what I can see he looks totally killer. I would love to have him.

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this so soon. How many figures is that now this year? I really hope I get one of these, but last time round I had to pay about $150 for Vamp Angel off eBay

He looks great! For once I am going to complain. I never bitch & moan about comic exc. because mostly the are a simple repaint. ect. but this is the second time Sideshow released a very different variant for a comicon. I mean DST (or MAC for that matter) wouldnt release an Angel figure with variants and then save the most different one for just comicon go-ers. I hope they make him available for people who cant go like us on the East coast or overseas.

Yay! Double yay! I'm thrilled to see a half transformed Oz, a full on monster is just another werewolf. I like that we can see both Oz and the wolf in this one.
I have a friend going to SDCC thankfully. But last year with Vampire Angel everyone I know that signed up for the extras left got one.

The thing that concerns me about signing up for the wait list is it appears they are making a smaller quantity. Am I right? Also, why does Sideshow keep doing this. It's really not fair for the people who can't attend the comic-con.
That said, is anyone going to San Diego and for some bizarre reason doesn't want this figure? I have the Vampire Angel 12" that I would trade for Oz. Please IM me although I can't imagine anyone would pass him up.

Yep you are right, Angel was 1000. I suspect they are making a lower amount perhaps because they had so many left over from the convention?

I like him, it's god that he's only half transformed. Since we still have an Oz likeness there. I wonder if Sideshow would even consider doing a full Werewolf Oz? I think that would be neat, but I probably wouldn't buy it...
