I have been wanting Sideshow to release a Premium Version of Buffy for a while. I have seen what Sideshow has done with the Star Wars line and it is amazing. (Click here to see what I mean: www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=starwars&source=leftnav&kw=STAR_WARS I am curious if there is demand from people who collect the 12 inch line. $50 a pop is expensive but the Premium line is around $250 for each figure. Let's assume that the quality, likeness, etc. is perfect... would you spend $250 for the Buffster in 1/4 scale? |

I picked "No" because there is just no way I could afford those prices, no matter how great they look. You see, I wouldn't be able to just get one - I'd want them all and if I bought one and they kept making them I'd most likely end up in divorce court! Now, if money wasn't an option, yes, I certainly wouldn't hesitate! I'd need a bigger house of course because just with the Sideshow line my house is becoming over run with BtVS figures!

Hell no.
I have a nice enough collection with the 6" and 12" figures...and I've spent more than enough. Besides not having the money to buy these...I cant imagine having enough Room to display them.

It would have to be perfect. I wouldn't put up with what they did to Willow. If I had the spare cash and as I say, it's perfect, I would buy one.

Also, I think if they were going to do this they would need to make the bodies proportioned to the person they were modeling them after. The Sideshow figures only have a certain amount of body heights and builds to chose from but I think the 1/4 scale ones would have to be spot on to make it worth it. And yeah, space really would be an issue for a figure that size because even the 12" figures take up a lot of room when you start to get a lot of them.

If the likeness were really good, I'd buy it.

Cinemaquette blows Sideshow out of the water though. They make 1/3 scale figures. As you might imagine, they cost an arm and a leg.

I voted no only because I already spend a small fortune on Buffy figures (especially the way things have been released lately. Lorne/Wesley and the deluxe figures at same time, right around the corner from all those palz, and then sneaking up next week is 3 sideshow figures) and I just can't see myself spending $250 on a figure.

I voted 'maybe'. If it was a really good likeness, and it looked worth the money, and I had the money, I would probably buy it at some stage. I like the premium formats, just some of them are a bit too expensive.

I like full collections with a huge variety of characters. So a one shot 1/4 Buffy doesn't really interest me, though I'd love to see it done.

I've been thinking about this, and I'd rather have one great Buffy figure than 5 pretty good ones. I'd trade 5 pretty good 12" figures for one great 18" one (actually, it'd probably be more like 16 inches).

Holy...
No way would I spend 200$ on anything like that. I love Buffy, but that is just... I mean, I think the Sideshow prices are already to much...

No way. I haven't got the money or the space and really i can't imagine actually wanting a huge Buffy figure!

No to Buffy, but sadly I would scrape the money together If it was a copy of Spike or Angel. Love the small versions, but to have an even better/larger version of them would be fantastic.
Yes, I'm that insane....

If the clothes actually fit...i might. The Pierce Brosnan one is sooooo awesome. If it were as nice as that one..i would be tempted.

No, I think that it they would take up to much space and be way too much money. I'd have to get 2 more jobs just to be able to buy these as well as all of the other Buffy & Angel products that I already buy.
