www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=112105dhoffrynhe looks superb,face is pretty much perfect!I REALLY hope the end product looks like that, that paintjob is phenomenal!!! Just look at the detail on the head!!! and I love the clothes(from what I can tell)!! I wanted giles but this will do! thanks sideshow! Youve made my day. Great to see we'll get an anya(would have to now we have D'hoffryn) if Sideshow makes Anyanka i hope they make her from "the Wish" she looks SOOOO much better(imo) as a vengence demon in that ep than the makeup done in the later seasons (6 and 7) I guess this will come out later next year, which is a very good thing, Im up to the roof in things I need to save for and buy!! again, THANKS SIDESHOW!!

He does look cool, and I'm happy we're getting another demon. But I really think it's about time we got a Giles.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I've already gotten bombarded with stupid-ass characters when we got 2 Darlas, a Drusilla, a crapload of Spikes, Monkeygirl Psychopath Faith, and Willow who looks like she got smashed off 3 kegs of hard liquor. But now...D'hoffryn?
Excuse me while I go barf on account of my disgust in Sideshow's extreme lack of brain.

*sigh* I'm not happy... Yes, it's o.k. looking, but why don't we get 'normal' characters?

Totally wasn't expecting D'Hoffryn at all. He's not even one of the characters that i like or even wanted as a figure but he does however look good and i will buy him. Sideshow, Could we please have one of the more important characters like Giles, Cordelia, Anya (now that we have D'Hoffryn)Dawn, Riley, or Ms Calendar?

Gotta say, pretty strange choice from Sideshow although they do tend to go with the more obsure characters - Der Kinderstood ! Having said that though, it will probably be one of the few sideshow figures i actually buy .. He looks pretty awesome !!
I wouldn't bank on getting Anya though (Sideshow aren't known for doing things logically !!), as much as I would love an Anya figure, would also be very nervoous about seeing it - look how ugly they made Willow look !!!

Although I'm disappointed Giles wasn't announced I think this figure looks great and makes perfect sense to be a part of the Sideshow Buffyline. D'Hoffryn was a recurring character that was very important to the Anya/Anyanka storyline and even tried to lure Willow to him. Yes, a Giles figure is the one I want most and if that had been the announcement this time and a D'Hoffryn next time I'd be thrilled to add him to my collection. It's just that the disappointment of not getting Giles next makes it hard to enjoy any new figure because my hopes were so high for a Giles figure.
And as a serious collector of this line I'm thrilled with the wide variety we have been offered by Sideshow. Still want my Giles, and I know we'll get him sooner or later (hopefully sooner) but I, for one, want to thank Sideshow for giving me so much enjoyment with these figures. I have them all and totally enjoy looking at my collection all the time.

Sweet! I think this may hint to an Anya/Anyanka figure. Hmm? Hmm? Can anyone else see that?
He looks amazing, its nice to see Sideshow can do demon faces much more real. And its great to see they aren't picking random characters like Giles or Tara...

Wow, gorgeous sculpt! I thought that was a photo of the real D'Hoffryn at first.
I'm a bit disappointed it's not a major character, like Giles or Cordelia.
I don't think Giles would be "random." D'Hoffryn is definitely more random.
It seems like right now they are going for monsters.
I'm not going to buy D'Hoffryn. But I only buy Sideshows that 1) are of characters I really like and 2) have beautiful sculpts. I like this sculpt, but I'm not into the character enough to find room for a 12 inch figure of him.

This figure looks great but when are we gettiing Giles or Cordelia? It doesn't make sense to make to make D'Hoffryn before Anya.

But now...D'hoffryn? Excuse me while I go barf on account of my disgust in Sideshow's extreme lack of brain. Monsters sell better than humans, bottom line. Gee, how idiotic of them to release a character that they feel pretty certain they'll make a nice profit on. Also...I know you guys all seemed to have your hearts set on Giles, but I don't recall any of that being based on any fact that came from Sideshow. Unfortunately, and of course I'm not happy about this, but when you come to your own conclusions and standards in your mind without having anything solid to base it on...well, it's easy to get disappointed when that's not what ends up happening. If anything, I'd think you guys would be HAPPY to get D'Hoffryn, since his inclusion most likely signals the fact that Sideshow sees this line going on for a long while, definitely long enough to get out all of the main characters plus tons of monsters.

I don't think Giles would be "random." D'Hoffryn is definitely more random. . I was kidding^^ I think this will be a cheap figure to produce, since his outfit is pretty much a brown coat/robe thingy. I don't know why SideShow has such trouble with clothing. I mean, FFL Spike was a mess... Accessories? Candles... Pendant... Present... Exclusive? Anyanka pendent? Burning Halfrek?

He looks absoloutely awesome. But how crap? I mean, I can think of at least 15 or 20 more deserving characters than him. What about Giles? Cordelia? Anya? I'm not sure this one will sell that well either. I mean, D'Hoffryn? He appeared in... what? 5 Episodes at the most and wasn't at all memorable.
I like the figure but not the fact that he was actually chosen. Just too random.

Im totally shocked! He looks good, and looks alot like D'hoffryn, and i hope the clothes turn out good, cos his robes were always kinda plain on the show. But still, shockness, even if wede have been told we were getting a demon, I would have guessed a different demon than this.
