I specifically referred to the her as one of the "original four" instead of "big four" so I didn't piss anyone off. But FM's right, as far as merchandising goes, she is number four on the list of top characters.

I bought Faith and human Willow, but I'm agree that they are a true disappointement. I really love Willow's outfit, hair and accessories, but there's the face, very different from the cute prototype. But each day, I like even more my Willow figure. For Faith, it's different, Faith figure was like the prototype. The likeness is off, there's something of Eliza Dushku on this figure, as if it was a version of Faith at 35 years old. And the outfit don't show how much sexy is Faith. So, I they made new and good versions of Willow (season 5-7)and Faith (season 7), I will buy them, and I will keep the others. Now, I want to say that the figure that I really hate is Prophecy Girl Buffy, this figure is horrible : big head, big rooted hair, bad paintjob on the eyes...  |

Faith hasn't arrived yet so i am yet to see if my likeness for her grows. As for PG Buffy - i think she's brilliant, she's deffinately one of my favorites, well that is untill i get GD Buffy! She looks great and i love her hair style |

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. What made her "amazingly cool"? Nearly killing Xander? Attempting to turn Angel into Angelus? Aiding the Mayor's ascension? Spike has done a lot of crappy stuff, too, but at least he has an excuse...he's a vampire. Yeah, she had a change of heart and became a "good guy" at the end of Buffy's run, but should she be praised for having the audacity to take Buffy's rightful position as leader of the potentials? Who does she think she is? And when has Faith not had a bad attitude? I've never once said to myself, "Wow, what a badass." Much like Buffy, I'm always thinking, "Wow, what a whiny little brat." Someone needs to take her down a notch. I don't care who. |

She looks great and i love her hair style LOL! Me too! I love my Willow now, still wish she looked better, but she has definitely grown on me and I can see some of AHs cuteness in her. But Faith just looks horrendous all around. The hair is the worst part. I can't even see a resemblance with ED at all. Looks like someone just rolled out some clay and plopped it on her head. But, to me anyway, Faith looks like the prototype and Willow doesn't and that's where the shock came from the most. If we had seen the actual Willow as the prototype I think more people would have probably bought it like they did with Faith. But because the prototype was so much better and cuter people were all the more upset about it. And I love my Prophecy Girl Buffy's. And I think all the Buffy sculpts have been excellent regardless of whether you prefer the sculpted or rooted hair. The faces have always been spot on. But the paint jobs could be better though. |

I do too, but weather SS will do another Willow is yet to be announced. I think the reason i like my Willow more is because she's of a character from the show who i really like and is one of my favorites. I know what you mean about the hair too. Only thing that is annoying about Will now is her loose joints, grrr argh! I shoud be getting my Faith tomorrow.So i'lll judge her then. I showed my brother a picture of the figure and he said she looked like some school teacher, lol. It doesn't resemble ED at all really. I agree about the Buffy's. My faves are now GD Buffy and PG Buffys. Not too kean on Hush Buffy because she really annoys me (standing up issue) I've lost count of how many times she has fallen off the shelf above my PC and nearly gave me brain damage! I nicknamed her the drunken Buffy. She should be called Buffy the Human Slayer! |

But, because I pose my Prophecy Girl Buffy's next to other figures I don't use their stands so Hush Buffy is "borrowing" one of theirs. Now, as for the loose joints on Willow I also have the same problem with her feet being all floppy (my GD Buffy is like this too). In another thread someone said that you could put some super glue on the joint but keep moving the joint as it dries and that should tighten it up. Just make sure to keep it moving until it is completely dry. |

Yeh my GD Buffy is the same, so it my Vampire Willow PG Buffy SS exclusive version. The worst has got to be Willow though. I would use some glue but isn't that runing the figure? |

Pretty much all of the characters have donw something crappy...so id you are going to act all high, mighty and moral than BTVS isnt the show for you. |

Faith did alot of bad, but hey, she rocked! And Willow did ALOT of bad aswell, and people still love her. People loved evil her o.o. I don't understand how Faith is any diffrent and why there is such a backlash on her evilness? |

Well, the difference between Willow and Faith is that Willow was basically insane when she did things that were truly evil. The writers made a very clear analogy between what happened to Willow and what happens to people who are addicted to drugs. When Tara was murdered, she freaked out and lost control. I'm not excusing what she did, but that is the reality of the situation.
Faith, on the other hand, was totally lucid the entire time that she was stabbing Buffy and company in the back. She knew exactly what she was doing the entire time, and she wanted to cause as much harm as possible.
Our legal system distinguishes between premeditated actions and ones performed in the heat of the moment. That is why I believe what Faith did was a lot worse. She's not the kind of person I would EVER want to be friends with.
Keep in mind that this is just my opinion.

By the looks of the figures alone, I'd say they shoudl be remade. But will SS do it? Who knows. I believe the demand is there, so in turn it would make sense to do new versions of the girls. I would buy them if they simply had a better likeness. I would love an End of Days Faith 12 incher!

She's not the kind of person I would EVER want to be friends with. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion. Its not just Willow...although I dont see why her "addiction" to magic is an excuse. If a drug addict murdered someone because he was doped up...does that make it ok? Um....how bout NO!?!? Also...Giles is a murderer. We saw him kill poor old Ben. Spike is not only a murderer but he tried to rape buffy. Theres Angel...dont even need to get into what he did. Anya was a murderous vengence demon for more than 1000 years. And never showed remorse. Thanks to Xander summoning Sweet, several people ended up dead...all because he thought it would be fun. I could go on and on. Anyway, back on topic. Faith should be remade. Shes beyond popular enough. The first Faith figure they made sould very well...and it was really hideous. Imagine how well a figure would sell if it was as gorgeous as Eliza Dushku. |
