After a long time, I've finally got my first two Sideshow Buffy Figures (I only had 6"). Now that I have them, I think "How on earth did I lived without this?". W-O-W. I'm impressed. Really. I've got Gentleman (street base) and Buffy (Hush). What a better way to start this collection if not with the first ever produced? I'm in love with both of them, specially the Gent. The detail is simply amazing, and is clearly the kind of detail you can only get in a bigger scale like the 12". The clothing is flawless, the paint, is just awesome! I can't wait to receive a package form Gwen Raiden aka Barb, containing Grad. Buffy, Vamp Buffy and Vamp Spike. I really want all of the Sideshow's now!!!!! To bad the line was put on hold. But at least it let me gather money to catch up...

Congrats for your first Sideshow figures and double congrats on getting your hands on a Gentleman one. Those are like the holy grail of Buffy Sideshow figures, very hard to come by.

Congratulations on your purchase.
I got all three gentlemen and Buffy recently too, and I adore them all. I don't know about you, but I'm amazed at the detail in their Gladstone bags. I thought they would be in solid plastic, not proper miniture fabric bags that can actually open.
More then worth the money if you ask me.
Makes me even more sad the the line has folded.

Thanks guys!
Yes, I'm really happy with both of them! The bag IS amazing, and all the accessories are! I just love the way the scalpel fits perfectly the hand, the "posing" is PERFECT! I REALLY WANT ALL SIDESHOW NOW! Too bad they're so hard to get, since I'm in Brazil =(

There are tons of sites that have many of them for VERY cheap $20-25. I dont know if they ship to brazil but its worth looking into. I know you can find Willow, Vamp Willow, Oz, Xander, The Master, Faith, PG Buffy, Subway Spike and Origins Angel for these prices.

I've finally got my Sideshow figures I was waiting for so eagerly. I'M PARALYZED. GRADUATION DAY BUFFY IS JUST THE BEST BUFFY FIGURE EVER MADE, PERIOD. IT'S SHOCKING. Vamp Buffy is also AWESOME, I love the hair sculpt, it's REALLY well done! Vamp Spike is also great, but I think his skin tone is a bit too dark for a vampire, if you get what I mean, but he still looks fantastic! I'm so thrilled =) I WANT ALL THE SIDESHOWS FROM BUFFY NOW! OH MY, MY...

They're great aren't they! Graduation day Buffy is my absolute favorite version of the character. A wonderful likeness.
I know what you mean about Vamp Spike. His skin colours far too dark, but I managed to lighten mine up with a little paint job and he looks a lot better now.

R.Slayer are you planning on getting all the figures that were released, just Buffy figures, or main character?
I thinking about painting the Subway Spike I ordered (I gave up on ever getting the human faced Spike at a decent price.) If I take out my Cordelia and Angel I might fix their eyes. Then I'll just get Lorne and finish my two customs and I'll have five Fang Gang members and a Worfram and Hart employee.

Well, I plan to get all of them now. But first the ones that are more attractive to me, like Dru, Giles, YW Cordy and Human Spike, but I don't have much faith on ever getting the Human Spike. I really don't understand why the heck is it so expansive! I mean, they're out there as much in quantity like any other regular sideshow, but... The others I'll try to get eventually. Like the Master, Vamp Willow, Oz, Faith, etc. But first the ones I REALLY want... Since they're not the cheapest figures out there. Well, but one of the best, surely

Also, the regular 6" figures look now pretty dull when compared to the quality and style of the Sideshow's!

Well, but one of the best, surely I plan on just getting main Angel characters. I have also been thinking about Drusilla and Darla. I ususally don't like the vampire faced figures. Might not get them because they cost so much, I'm on the fence about it. Human faced Spike was considered to be one of the best sculpts from what I have been hearing not to mention that the character is very popular.

Yeah, but still. There were quite a lot of them made. They go for an insanely high price nowadays! Well, maybe someday we can get it, right?
