"I got the latest Toyfare today, and it shows the new DST Buffy figure.
All I can say is wow...29 points of articulation & the best SMG likeness ever! "

Raising the Stakes
Diamond Select takes a stab at reinventing Buffy figures
Diamond Select Toys has 29 good reasons to buy their upcoming Deluxe Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure.
After years of Buffy figures that were a little...well, stiff (no pun intended), Diamond Select, with assistance from the scanning wizards of Gentle Giant Studios, has come up with a prototype for the very first super-poseable vampire slayer figure, with 29 points of articulation.
"After listening to the fans, we felt that a dynamic character like Buffy Summers needs a dynamic action figure based on her - an action figure that can pose and move just like the Slayer does in the show," said Scott Braden of Diamond Select Toys. This 6-inch deluze figure, which should hit stores in early 2005, will sport two joints on each knee and elbow, ball joints on the head and shoulders, and even a toe joint, among others (see chart).
The figure, modeled after Buffy's black-and-red outfit from the two-part Season 3 finale, "Graduation Day," also includes a removable jacket, a diploma, a burnt yearbook and a knife from that episode. While this is the only deluxe figure announced so far, Braden added "it would be pretty cool if we produced a deluxe action figure based on some of the chief antagonists that Buffy fought in that classic episode." Hmm... do you think he means the smarmy Mayor or misguided slayer Faith? (Our money's on the latter.)
But what's to become of their less-poseable brethren? Braden says to expect business as usual from the regular Buffy line, which recently released figures of Anya and Tara, and has something new on the horizon. Said Braden, "We're continuing our best-selling 'statuesque' figures, as fans will see when we unveil Diamond Select Toys' first Angel releases in the very near future."
