Oz Has Arrived! (w/pictures)

[Karen]

Oz is here!!!!

The sculpt is absolute perfection (IMHO)! There is a little one foot tall Seth Green staring back at me. He absolutely rocks!

The clothes are perfect! (The Sunnydale shirt with the 'God ' label on it from the Halloween episode in season 4 is perfect).

Even the Pumpkin and the Bat accessories are cool!

The box itself has a picture of the Oz prototype, rather then of the actor Seth Green, but I think the final product actually looks better then the prototype.

OK, enough gushing! This is really a great looking figure and I don't think anybody will be disappointed with it.

(I added a couple of pictures.)



















I had some trouble trying to get his red shirt to lie flat, so I just took it off. Oz is wearing a real t-shirt so there are no seams or flaps in the back.

THANK YOU

Can't wait to see the pictures!

[FireflyFlanatic]

Grrr argh! Now I'm wishing even more that I had ordered directly from Sideshow and not the other store! Can't wait to see your photos of him and am glad to hear he looks great!

[FireflyFlanatic]

Just now got a message from the store I ordered it from and they said my order will be shipping Friday. And it occured to me that I am never one of the first to get my figures from Sideshow so I most likely wouldn't have gotten today anyway. I guess I can be a little more patient in getting this.

Karen does he look as good as the prototype and the same as the protoype? I've been a little nervous about the figures not looking as good as the prototypes since the Willow fiasco. So far, every figure I've gotten since hers has been good but I'm just a little leary of now taking it for granted that they will look as good.

Yeah. We got our cases of Oz today. Kind of a surprise since Sideshow didn't notify us that they were being shipped. Nice surprise though. The figure is pretty nice. I'll echo the opinion that it looks Seth Green. It hasn't suffered the weird effect that Willow went through. Looks like the prototype or better. Much, much better than poor Willow.

Some of the cases had the lid of the jack-o-lantern loose in the box. If you get an Oz and there's some rattling inside, it's probably the lid.

[FireflyFlanatic]

Well, that's a relief! Ever since the Willow mess up I have been nervous about every figure not looking like the figure we were shown. I'm hoping this is an indication that Sideshow took our ire seriously! Oz looks good - I'm betting he looks better in person because my photos never look as good as the actual figures do. I can't wait to get him!

TATS HOT. wat abt pics of the box?

[prophecygirl]

Woah.. I think that sculpt is one of the best I've seen! Thanks for posting the pictures Karen

I love the figure and the new packaging, I can't wait to get mine on the 15th. This figure is amazing and has a great likeness.

[xtinaslayer]

TATS HOT! the concept i think is a new one for all sideshow figures cos the werewolf oz box looks abt the same. oh jus noticed there's a faint pic of buffy on the front cover

[xtinaslayer]

the 2nd pic of him in the box makes him look REALLY short

[FireflyFlanatic]

Wow, love those photos Karen. Makes a big difference seeing him outside the box. He does look perfect and I'd say as good as the prototype! I love him so much!! Pxl, thanks for both sets of pictures as well. I am very relieved to see how great he looks. I love see him next to Vamp Willow too because that gives a great perspective on his height. I love that they made him shorter than the other male figures because Oz/Seth is short. He actually looks really well proportioned to the real life Seth Green. Wish I had my figure now too! I'm so jealous!!

I think the prototype looks a bit better, but the final product still looks good.

The most important thing is that he didn't turn into some older version of himself with a really bad face job...aka Willow. <shudder>

Makes me very optimistic about Origins Angel and Vampire Buffy.

Thanks Karen! Cant wait to get my Oz!

[DanMan]

I love how they switched out the shirt for that original Sunnydale creation. It looks similar and is actually much cooler for fans than the one in the episode.

[FireflyFlanatic]

LOL - I just saw Seth Green's "Robot Chicken" and his new Oz figure was on it (playing him of course)! I love that show even though I've only seen it a couple of times. It was the last one of the season but they said it's coming back for another season.

[FireflyFlanatic]

I just got my regular Oz today! I absolutely love him!! Had a heck of a time with his outer shirt though trying to get it to fit on him right. In the picture on the box, it does look kind of small on Oz and I guess they were trying to match that up but it just doesn't want to close right. But, the sculpt is absolutely fantastic. Had to laugh at the description of Buffy on the inside of the box and her "slayerettes"! I bet Xander would be thrilled to be known as a slayerette and not a scooby!!

[FireflyFlanatic]

Okay, I've had time to give him a really good looking over and have noticed a couple things and wanted to ask others about. The prototype photo shows buttons/snaps on his shirt. Mine don't have any. Did anyone elses come with buttons? And he has no socks either. I know that's a little picky but I really think that Oz is the type of guy that would wear socks.

And does anyone think his arms and hands look to big for his body? That length and size will look good on WW Oz because he's animal like but it's throwing me off a little bit trying to figure out how to pose him and what to do with his hands! I don't want to pose him holding the pumpkin! His hands aren't like the prototypes either. Both his hands are in an almost closed position whereas his right hand in the proto picture the one finger is almost fully extended. I'm wondering if they gave me the wrong hands?! Nope, just went and looked at the pictures posted and it looks like the same hands on each figure. And it didn't look like anyone's figure had buttons (couldn't tell with Karen's though because Oz is behind Willow).

That said, I really think the face looks even better than the prototype. This is my favorite figure so far! I'm just being a little nitpicky because I honestly adore him and think he looks great. Maybe I'll try and be creative and try to make him a little Oz guitar so he doesn't have to hold a pumpkin!
