Blue looks much better then red...but this is still a pretty bad 'exclusive'. Before it was an accessory, now its a totally different outfit? This will make the 'gotta collect 'em alls' like myself go nuts. Oh well. Can't wait for D....Vampire Buffy

In one thread, you're complaining about the lame accessories of the recent exclusives that make them not worth getting. Now, here's an exclusive that's radically different than the regular release and not just a dispensible accessory, but you don't like -that- either? |

We all have our own opinions I personally think that this is better then one weapon or RADIO but I still think a Human Verson would have been MUch Better |

this figure looks amazing in itself to me, but i hope before it comes out that they lighten up the face alittle. The vamps from the first season espessially had very pale faces.
Whedon said the only reason they changed the paleness to be not so pale was because it wasnt cost effective or somthin in the end, but he liked the paleness much better.

Did she actually wear a red schoolgirl outfit? Is the blue one from Welcome to the Hellmouth?

Will the red regular still be available from Forbidden Planet and places like that? I ordered the exclusive from SS, but can't afford to order both from there.

The other will be available other places. As I said I ordered the exclusive from Sideshow and the regluar from Time and Space Toys Buffy Collectors Club in order to save money. It's kind of ridiculous that Sideshow offers the regular figure for the same price as the exclusive and it isn't cheaper, being so that you may order it somewhere else.

Actually Sideshow used to offer both the exclusive and regular at the same price - the exclusive was supposed to be a bonus just because you were one of the first 500 or so who ordered so they really should be charging the same price. It was more annoying when they started charging extra for what in most case ended up being some minor extra item.
As both colors are extremely limited I'd suggest to anyone who really wants one to pre-order as soon as possible. I know this figure doesn't seem this popular on this site but there are other collector sites where people are very excited about her and I suspect it will sell out quick.

I pre-ordered the blue 'just in case'. I really dont want to pay $55 for a sub-par figure (Who still has the WORST facial sculpt so far) when I can get the red version for $35 from BCC. Oh well. Atleast looking at Dru makes up for this...
Wow, 3 figures that start with D coming out! Man!
Dru, Darla, and Darla...

Its just a very bad choice all around. First, why 'School girl' Darla? It didn't work very well for DST at all. When I think of Darla, I do NOT think of Schoolgirl. I think of 'Angel' Darla. Second, having two different exclusives with the same facial sculpt? C'mon. If they had done a Reg Version/Vamp version I would be buying both for sure, but no instead they chose this path. Third, that is the WORST facial sculpt I have seen on any Sideshow Buffy figure, and that includes Willow and Faith (Or I like to call her random girl).
Please don't reply back saying 'Well thats what Darla looked like on Buffy, and it IS a Buffy line' because Dru is from an episode of ANGEL, not Buffy.
Also, I'm not yelling at you, just showing my dislike for this figure.

I thought she was from the episode where she eats the lawyers (Angel)? Sideshow dosn't have the rights to the Angel series (or so I've been told) so all their choices have to be from Buffy, and when you think 'Buffy' Darla, school girl is what comes to mind. |

Its only a matter of time. There running out of 'good' characters to make. Left we have Cordelia, Giles, Anya....Maybe Tara, Dawn. As per monsters/demons we have Ubervamp, D'Hoffryn, ....? Remember, these have to SELL.
Der Kindestod, while by far the best sculpt of the series, did not fair very well. He dropped from $45 to $30 fairly fast. Liam/Angelus is also pretty bad, and does not seem to be selling very well. Dru has been a breakout hit for them, and seems to have been a very good choice. But coming up we have Subway Spike, which is fairly sub-par with 1 accessory, Vampire Buffy (not the most exciting), Dru (Fantastic), Darla (One of the worst). Oh well.
