Awesome!! I am so freakin' excited about this figure. I love D'Hoffryn and was really hoping Sideshow was going to make him. They will make a Giles and the rest of the scoobies. There is no doubt about it so everyone needs to stop freaking out. It's nice to have some other characters to fill in with. I love this figure. Thank you Sideshow!!

I like it. I'll buy it. I'm happy.
Hmm, will they have an exclusive version (what would the exclusive item be?), or will D'Hoffryn himself be exclusive, like Der Kindestod was? And will he be the same height as the others, or will he tower over the others at closer to 13 inches?
It seems like they're doing three sub-lines at the same time: Heroic Fighters, Monsters & Villains, and Sidekicks. For Heroic Fighters, who sell well because they put the "Action" in action figures, they've released Hush Buffy, Grad Day Buffy, Prophesy Girl Buffy, Vampire Buffy, Faith, Angel, Vamp Angel, Spike, and Vamp Spike. You could possibly put Origin Angel(us) and Subway Spike into that category, even though those are from their pre-souled evil pasts, or they can be more properly included in Monsters & Villains. You need an approximately equal number of Monsters & Villains to Heroic Fighters so that you can pose the heroes in fighting stances and not have them look like they're fighting air. Sidekicks tend to sell less, since you can't do much with them other than pose them reading books and trying to look supportive of the heroes. So I'm not surprised that they're not going through the entire roster of sidekicks before doing more monsters or another Buffy, Spike, Angel, or Faith (or Kendra?). It's all a matter of balance, and what makes an action figure sell.

I can't wait to pre-order him. This is what I like about the Sideshow line. The balance of popular & lesser know characters. Unlike the DST line where they make 3 to 5 versions of the same character at the same time.

I too like the fact of them adding in villians to their current line, it gives the line some diversity. I can't wait to preorder him. I wonder what the exclusive version will have that the regular one won't.

I wonder what the exclusive version will have that the regular one won't. This is just an idea, bare in mind, but maybe they could do a Wedding D'Hoffryn? Same figure, different clothes (Remember the bright Orange Gown he wore in Hells Bells?) - I think it would be great, and a really popular and worthwhile exclusive!

Wedding D'Hoffryn would make an excellent figure especially in a Wedding Boxset with Xander and Anya. Although being Sideshow it would make it more expensive. I just hope that down the road we see Wedding Anya and Wedding Xander, that would be cool. They could also limit them to a certain just in case there are those who aren't interested.

Does this mean D'Hoffryn is only available from the sideshow website? Usually they do an exclusive and a normal figure, but i'm reading it like the exclusive is the normal figure (am i making any sort of sense here?). Is this right?

yes I think you are, I think Sideshow means that Doff will only be available through their site and is only an exclusive as its only available there and is so limited.

Ordered mine. I'm surprised they're so limited! DK had more than 750.

I just preordered mine. I think that it is a good idea to limit the monsters/demons to a lower number and make them exclusively to them. I like his accessories. I love the Wedding Gift box, I just wish that he came with a few more accessories, like an amulet or 2.

His outfit looks a bit cheaply done... And it would be cool if he came with his "Hell's Bells" outfit as well, to like, put over top. The sculpt is good, but I think the horns on top are a bit to bulky. The present is neat, but yeah, an amulate would have been nice. Or a ball of fire.

I like him. The sculpt is clearly brilliant but in these full body pictures he's got so many other appealing features. I really like the taloned hands and the sandles he's wearing. Okay, the outfit may seem a tiny bit cheap and shapeless but hey, I can live with that.
And that Present Accessory? The coolest accessory ever! I LOVE it!

Hee. I guess I really never paid attention to his feet, but those little shoes make me giggle. Love him.

I love his feet and his outfit!
It's very cool that SS give us these demons, Der Kindestod is still my 2nd favourite Buffy figure. I hope that we might get a Turok-han or Adam one day ;D

I'd definitely love a Turok-han and an Adam figure. Adam is probably the big bad I liked the least but he'd make an awesome looking figure.
