I just got mine yesterday from Sideshow and I love her, she looks simply amazing, even better in person. I really hope that they decide to do a human version figure of her next year.

I e-mailed T&S Toys nine days ago asking when we'd be getting the Dru figures. I then got a newsletter, I think the next day, that said they would be shipping her out this past week. So I was a bit surprised that they finally e-mailed me back tonight saying they just got the figures in a couple of days ago and they'd be shipping out this coming week. I deleted the newsletter e-mail but I could have sworn it said they had them and would be shipping this past week. Anyway, they should be arriving this coming week hopefully.

Karen, Would you be able to take a picture of Dru without her coat on please?

[VampireStake]

Got my shipping notice from the BCC. Sweet.

[FireflyFlanatic]

Me too!

I received mine today ! Drusilla is wondeful ! The outfit is simply amazing ! the better outfit never done ! The sculpted hair is great ! I love the accessories (the tarot cards are in french ) The only thing negative is the mouth, it's not perfect, too large, but the face is still good ! It's my favorite sideshow figure before vampire Buffy.
Great job sideshow !

I received mine from the BCC this morning.

I'm dying to take her out of the box, but I'm not going to just yet. If they ever do a human-faced Drusilla, I'll probably sell this one.

Of if they do a human-faced Dru in a different outfit, I might get two of those and put the head on this outfit.

I love the outfit. I had seen these in person at the SDCC, so I already knew how gorgeous they were in person.

I love the velvet and two different kinds of lace. Her shoes are fantastic. I'm not a fan of the bloody mouth, but I'm sure that's a selling point for most people. I wish I could see back of her hair.

The pictures of vamp face Dru on the box just remind me that she should have yellow eyes, but doesn't.

I think it will be awhile before I figure out if I want to take her out of the box and customize her a little bit, or leave her in. Until then, her box will be displayed next to my human-faced Spike.

I still haven't received mine yet. It was supposed to come on the 16th and today is the 18th and it's obviously not coming today either. I live in Massachusetts and it originally shipped from Pennsylvania so why it is taking DHL so long to get it to my door is really starting to piss me off. It's been listed as being in Hadley, MA for two days now and I'm still waiting. And it still says "estimated delivery 11/16".

[Girl Power]

Oh man, that's frustrating! Have you called the company to find out what the hold up is? I'm in California and mine was sent out on 11/14. You definitely should have received yours before I got mine!

[FireflyFlanatic]

I e-mailed them today but haven't heard back from them yet. I most likely won't get it this weekend because they don't seem to deliver on the weekends. So I'll have to wait at least until Monday to get it now.

[Girl Power]

It sounds like DHL needs a phone call. Delivery companies are usually very good at tracking shipments down.

Sideshow have updated their Drusliia pictures on their site, she looks alot more like Karens pics now, but the lips still look alittle better on the site, but still definately more like the pics posted here.

see!

[Buffy&Angel4Ever]

Don't hesitate to buy this figure because of the mouth, finally I must admit than I love this bloody mouth ! The face is really beautiful ! It's the better BTVS Sideshow figure !!!

[Chosen Prophecy]

Did anyone comment that the person who started this said DRucilla? Thatsa odd if no1 did.. First thing i noticed lol

[FireflyFlanatic]

Yay! I finally got them - thanks to me complaining to DHL and someone calling over to my local delivery people and telling them to make sure they get it to me today!! They were very apologetic and assured me I would get the package today!

Okay, enough of that - here's my pictures of two of the three Dru's I received (my oldest quickly grabbed hers and whisked it down to her room). My photos aren't as nice and or as sharp as Karen's but I like how some of the dress details came out. Two of the figures paint jobs looked absolutely superb and one of them is just slightly off in the mouth area and frankly, I think I'm being extremely picky saying that.



From my observations of the three figures I think the figure is very close to the look of the prototype. The biggest difference is you cannot tilt her head to get a nicer view of her chin area. The heads are very firmly attached to the neck and if anything, the neck seems a bit too short for what Dru looked like in real life. That said, I still think she is a fantastic looking figure. I did try and tilt the coatless Dru's head up (which you are able to do a bit without the coat on).

The dress is actually made up of three separate pieces. A coat, shirt and skirt. I liked the look of one top better than another and decided to change outfits because I was keeping the one with the face I liked better (my daughter doesn't care and, well, I'm paying for them!). That's when I discovered it wasn't a one piece dress. On two of the outfits the bodice is very low, to the point where I'm afraid Dru is going to pull a Janet Jackson! But you can kind of hitch it up a bit to, ahem, cover Dru's bits! Anyway, that is the one pictured without the coat on. Her straps seem too long and loose and that might be why it hangs down a bit too much. It's hard to see the straps because they look like they've blended into where her arm joints are but they are there, just very thin.



The top is pushed up in the picture but when you go to move her to pose her is when she is in danger of exposing herself!

The coat is absolutely beautiful but I think it could have been sewn a bit better. The inside has the seams exposed and I don't think it would have been any more work to have sewn it so the seams were on the inside and not showing. That's my only complaint about the coat. I don't know if you'll be able to see that from my photo what I'm getting at. The sleeves are rolled up in the photo because I found it was easier to put the coat back on with them that way so the hands wouldn't get tangled in the "fur".



Here's a back shot and the camera actually took a great picture this time showing the details of the lacey overlay of the coat. The coat truly is beautifully done, the whole outfit is very accurate to the episode even if the fur is a little big (but I love it that way because it is so luxurious looking).



Here's a shot with the fully dressed figure and my "Miss Edith" dolls (which I talk about in another thread if anyone is interested).



And the last one of the two figures together.

[slayerverse98]

Brilliant! Thanks Brenda
I think i'll buy her next month now instead of Werewolf Oz. The outfit looks great

[FireflyFlanatic]

It occurred to me that if they had sewn the seams of the coat like I suggest you would be able to see the seams through the lace so they did do the coat properly and I have no complaints about it at all.

[Girl Power]

Thanks for the wonderful pictures, Fireflyfanatic! It looks like is is meant to be displayed with the coat on. You're right, the straps of her dress should be much thicker. With the coat off, her neck definitely looks too short. Juliet has a classic ballet dancer's body,with a long neck and muscular arms.

I think Sideshow did an amazing job with the detail, especially considering how cheap she is. She's my favorite Sideshow figure, next to human-faced Spike that is.
