I know it's a huge doubt but do you think there's a slight chance? I don't see why Oluf couldn't just do the whole Buffy line because his figures are great

Well, I kind of doubt they wil do another Willow. They still haven't sold out either Vamp or Regular Willow and if they don't sell out, they most likely won't want to do another version. The sad thing is, if Willow had looked like the prototype she would've sold out rather quickly (and most likely Vamp Willow too because people like to pose them together).
As for Faith, I don't think they'd do another one for the Buffy line - maybe if there is an Angel line someday they'll do another one.

Not going to happen. Both Willows sold very poor, as well as Faith (both attributed to their horriable face sculpts). The only chance we may have is if they decide to make another variant, like a Dark Witch Willow.

I kind of doubt it. If the first ones don't sell well I don't think they would waste their time with another one. Although, if they would have been better they would be all sold so who knows. I'm not holding my breath for it.

I too doubt. We can always hope that our complaints will get us new versions of each of these, but if we see them is up to Sideshow. If they make a different Faith figure based on "End of Days" or "Chosen" that actually looked like her would sell out. As well as a Season 5 or "Chosen" Willow that actually looked like her. I have a feeling that if they release a Vampire Xander figure, more people would buy Vampire Willow, she was a really good figure, I think.

I think it depends on how long the line lasts. If we get another 40 figures...I think eventually they will get around to doing both Willow and Faith again. But I dont see it happening for a VERY long time.

they might do Willow cuz shes a lead, all 7 seasons, every episode but Faith, she was a side player, just a few episodes so maybe Willow, but Id doubt Faith...

No, chances of getting any other variants of the Scoobys (Besides Buffy/Angel) are slim to none. The only way to get another Faith is if Sideshow aquires the Angel license, which most likley will happen eventually. IF they do, we may see an addition Faith, and possibly a 'Angel' Cordelia and an 'Angel' Darla.

depends, i think SS may be changing its production strategy a bit. I have a feeling we may get lower production run numbers and a slight rise in cost. The initial figures sold really well and SS based the production numbers of Willow and Vampire Willow on those, hence lots of unsold inventory. If an artist came up with a decent likeness and fans were excited, I bet SS would do another Willow (producing 1200-1500 instead of 5000). I think they are just figuring out how to anticpate a character's sales potential.
As far as Faith goes, did I miss something? I know many people thinks she looks like crap but she was one of the quickest to sell out. She moved 5500 pieces. In comparison, the Xander (which looks really good) exclusive version has yet to sell 750 pieces. Why wouldnt they make another Faith?

Jmay, I just think they wouldn't do another Faith for the Buffy line because she wasn't a main character and they already did her. I do think they could do one of her for the Angel line if they ever get it.
I hope you are right about them possibly doing another Willow too. I know when I got mine I called and expressed my disappointment in how she came out and that I hoped they'd do another one of her and I'm sure a lot of people did the same thing. YOu scenario of them just making enough to anticipate what the demand would be makes a lot of sense and I hope they do that.

He's not? I think Xander is a real good resemblement (is that even a word? lol) of Nicholas so he should be doing well

I think they'll do Faith again. Major character who sells well, and they MUST know they blew it with her. They might wait on a scan though... But she is too big a character to not revisit. Aside from that, she's the only one of the original 4 to not have another version.

It's a little too early to say that the Xander figure isn't doing to well. It was just released after all. It is safe to say that the Willow figure didn't do as well as they hoped seeing as it has been awile since they were released and still haven't sold out.

Willow(s) did very bad. Sideshow has had numerous deals in the past to get rid of these. These include selling them for $30, Buy 1 Willow get 1 Vamp Willow for free, or the most recent, buy a Prophecy Girl Buffy and get a Vamp willow for 1/2 off. Heck, even the Willow exclusive is STILL available by reqeust.
If you really want to see how a figure sells check ebay. You can usually buy both Willows and the Master for $15 Brand new, while Prophecy Girl Buffy and Faith go for $20-$25.

The problem is Sideshow is too stubborn to admit the original Willow came out wrong, and if they did another version they'd have to either admit they were lying about the likeness or go for a whole new sculpt.
As for Faith, until they get a better sculpt I think they should leave her alone.

You people have the wrong idea about Faith. While she might not be in every episode...she is one of the most popular characters. A true fan-favorite. I've believe she is considered by the toy manufacturers to be one of the "big four"...the others being Buffy, Angel and Spike. That is why she sold out so quickly (even when she was so ugly) and that is why we've gotten so many Faith figures, statues, busts, etc. when (compared to many others) she was in so few episodes.

She was in alteat 25 episodes, over a seasons worth. She was probably on the show about the same amount of episodes as Oz. The only reason why they consider her a 'big four' is because she was an actress before, and still is. Nearly all of the buffy starts was nobodys, except for Seth Green and SMG (a little bit).
I wouldn't expect to see anothe Faith for ATLEAST another year, and thats only if SS aquires the Angel licese.

Why she is considered one of the "big four" has NOTHING to do with any of her acting besides Buffy. Look at David Boreanaz and James Marsters...their acting careers besides Buffy/Angel are practically non-existant...your reasoning is hilarious.
Oz was in quite a few more episodes than Faith, actually...but I dont see why that is at all relevant.
Faith is just a really, really popular character. She would've been in more episodes (and even had a spinoff) if Eliza Dushku had agreed to it. The character of Faith is just amazingly cool.
I dont know when it will happen, but I'm certain that if the line continues going strong for another year or so...there will be more Faith figures. She wasnt a poor seller like Willow, and she is insanely popular. And her getting another figure is not at all dependant on SS acquiring the Angel license.
