Maybe it's just me, but the accessories that come with Giles include the sword, his glasses and the wooden cross....um, somebody really dropped the ball here. Why include the wooden cross which the alternate universe Giles really only used, and not include a freaking TEA CUP, which he used in almost every episode?
I took the jacket off mine, rolled up his shirt sleeves and I have him posed as though he were about to behead a demon. I think it looks much more realistic than the pics that Sideshow present of him. I'll post a picture soon if I can to show you all what I mean.
Regards,
Whytestar

I think this figure is very well made,but he should have come with a book. I have mine posed holding the Der Kinderstod book.
p.s my first post.

I agree that a teacup and book wouldve been more appropriate but I do love his accessories. I think we've gotten quite a few books in the Sideshow line...at least a couple Vampyr books and both Darlas came with 2 or 3 each (which didnt make any sense to me). A tea cup wouldve been great though but I guess they went for the more action figure type accessories.

I just ordered mine using the 50% off coupon at BCC today. I was on the fence about him because I don't really do Sideshow figs (the only other that I have is GD Buffy). But the new photos (at Sideshow) and the great deal swayed me. Looking forward to having him. I want to put him on my shelf, with a small note card, admonishing others to not speak Latin near the books.

Sideshow Giles Close-upHope this helps Thanks. I managed to exchange Giles from the retailer... unfortunately the shop is 200 miles away so somewhat inconvenient! Anyone got photos of their Giles yet? I've been rather busy so haven't done much other than remove Giles from box to pose with Scooby gang... photos someday...

I received mine weeks ago, and I adore him! Miles better likeness then the appalling DST version, and one of the better Buffyverse figures that Sideshow has produced in the last couple of years. There are some close up photos of him over on this thread at the Sideshow Freaks boardsideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19205&page=7
