I have been reading the posts in this forum for some time now and decided to weigh in on what seems to be a common topic of discussion...the next Sideshow release from the Buffy line. We have just gotten an AMAZING Angel figure from Sideshow and I have already pre-ordered mine. However, that is from their new acquisition of the "Angel" line and this thread is about the Buffy line. A lot of people have expressed that they passionately want Giles to be the next Sideshow 12" release and I can't really disagree...BUT (and there is always a big but) there is a character that is SUPER COOL that seems to have been overlooked. Both on this board and at Sideshow apparently, and I would be JUST as happy if they made this the next 12". And that, ladies and gentlemen is... Joyce Summers!!!!!!!! I just LOVE Joyce and while she didn't get as much screen time, she is as integral a character to the Buffy series as any!!! Okay, I know I've opened up a can of worms here, but think about it! Tell me I'm wrong (but I'm not...lol). Joyce was there from the start and I can't be the only person who adores this character. How cool was she in "Band Candy"  ?? And hey, don't get me wrong...I want Giles too. Another quirky desire for me would be Jenny Calender. She would display perfectly with Giles...but then again so would Joyce, ala "Band Candy"...lol I say, Bring on Joyce, Sideshow!!!!! |

I think she will be done, but as a Sideshow Exclusive only. I don't think SC will have much confidence in her to sell thousands, but they do know that she has her own small fanbase. Kristine Sutherland has such great features for a sculpter to work with, I reckon it'd turn out to be one of the best.
See, thats why I think the SC-only figures are so great because it means we get to have the minor characters.
I'll say it too, Bring on Joyce!

i don't buy the Sideshow but i think the only Joyce's that would work are Band Candy , dead Joyce from season 7 and the first Joyce . (but i think she should get another figure, Band Candy with giles )

I think a Band Candy Joyce would be awsome! At first I thought I could hold back on buying all the 12" dolls but they're so great that I would definitly buy a Joyce. Maybe after they make the main cast- and seeing the sales on DST's Summer;s Boxset maybe they'll be hope.

For a 12" figure, the only Joyce I'd be interested in is a "Band Candy" Joyce. I couldn't see myself shelling out anywhere from $35-$45 for a generic looking Joyce, and a "The Body" Joyce would be too damn depressing.

I think a Band Candy Joyce would make an excellent figure. She would look really good next to GD Buffy and Giles (When he's finally released). But no way would I want a 'I was Made to Love You Joyce'... can you say: Depressing Much?
So yeah, I would like her, just not before Giles, Cordy, Kendra, Jenny or Anyanka.

Kendra before Joyce??? I love Kendra but Joyce was more of a regular or main character than Kendra.
I am hoping for a Jenny at some point as I stated earlier...but I was noticing that the Faith they put out a while ago looks more like Jenny than Faith. Go figure...
Great likenesses to the actors are what sell figures and surely Sideshow has learned that lesson with Willow. Just look at how in demand the human Spike from School Hard is. If the new Angel release is any indication, the next Sideshow Buffy figures will be nothing short of amazing and I can't wait to see what comes next.
I am a total Buffy geek so I'll be getting all of them anyway.....well, except maybe Willow, unless they release a better one. I have to draw the line somewhere.

I'm also a Joyce fan ! I really like the character, and if they made a Joyce figure, even if it's an exclusive, I would buy it. A Band Candy Joyce would be great (think about a Band Candy Giles in the same time) but a more mum-looking Joyce would be good also.
However, I want first Giles and Cordelia.
A Jenny Calendar figure would be also great. If they made one, I hope it would be in her death outfit. She was very beautiful in it.
If they make a minor character like Der Kindestod, I don't know why we couldn't have Jenny or Joyce.
