I know that I'm going to be getting the regular orange haired Willow, white hair Willow and the Tough Love willow. Until I see the others in person I'm not sure.... Again, lets hope that DST does well on these...

Gahh I dislike the deluxe figures, but Halloween Willow, Kennedy & Kendra look amazing.
What happened to Tough Love Willow? She isn't on BCC's site.

"Halloween" Willow, "Tough Love" Willow and "Dopplegangland" Vampire Willow are all to be exclusives and are all still awaiting for an exclusive holder. They won't be available for preoreder until the holders have chosen the figures.

Kendra is the previews exclusive. And if no one picks up the exclusives, I think they will be turned into a second case assortment...but with no added figures. Just Series 3 wave 2 kinda. Or maybe a box set. So I'm pretty sure they will get released I think thats what I gathered from talking to DST at NYCC.

I still think all the different figures should just be grouped together in a case. No more of this "exclusive holders" stuff. I've said it before, pretty much every other toy company out there sends out cases with a mixed assortment of characters. Hasbro doesn't send out a case with just Duke and Snake-Eyes figures for GI Joe. (Though they did send out cases with just the Episode 3 Darth Vader in 2005... ack.) They have several characters in a case. I don't collect the NECA or McFarlane figures, but I know that when stores get those in stock, they have more than one or two characters in a case.
It seems pretty simple an idea, why can't DST just send out ALL the different Willows with Kendra and Kennedy in ONE case?!

If the asst included 7 different characters, retailers would probably not adjust their orders accordingly...they may increase orders...but not double like they would have to otherwise. And then its probably not financially feasible to create 7 unique figures and sell the same amount. You cant really compare series like GIJoe and other mainstream toylines to Buffy. I think the best we can hope for is 2 regular assortments with 3 figures each (plus the Kendra exclusive)...because they cant ship them all in one case.

I think a great second case assortment would be the 4 Tough Love Willows, 3 Doppelgangland Vampire Willows, and a Chase Doppelgangland human Willow (that was a great idea xander000) and then have Halloween Willow be the preview exclusive.
Or just make them all in one case assortment with 12 figures. 2 Chosen, 1 White hair Chosen, 3 Kennedy, 2 Halloween, 2 Tough Love, and 2 Vampire Willows. Keep Kendra as the Preview Exclusive.
I'm sure my comic book store would be happy with this because he knows he would have half his case sold on the first day and then only be left with 1 of each characters for the few other collectors in my area who only seem to pick up a few of the figures, and are not as fanatic as I am with the figures.

I would adore a human faced doppellgangland willow...that would be awesome...great idea xander000.
I know we have a vamp/human versions of leather wearing willow from doppel' but a human faced willow in the pink top and skirt is classic high school willow for me and would work so well.
I really cant wait for this line...Im so excited for kendra. The toyfair photos of her posing with the sword were awesome. Im couldnt really care less about kennedy though. Im not a keneddy hater I did like her character but all the other deluxe figures are much more interesting I think. Also I have no interest in making any kennedy customs so I wont be buying her for those purposes either.
so when are these getting released now....May?

That's pretty much what I'm talking about. Retailers will sell through their cases a lot better with a mixed assortment, as long as there's a balance. Hell, I'd probably buy a case of the Deluxe figures if that was the case breakdown. Only thing I'd do is swap out a Kennedy for a Kendra... but I wouldn't mind just having to pick up one more figure (Kendra) since I would only want one of her.

Maybe DST shouldn't make Vamp Willow. I never wanted the figure anyway, but I'd easily buy it if she had a human head. I know Vamps tend to sell better, but they already have the human head mold so maybe the human version would be cheaper. I suck at Photoshop, but isn't she just adorable!

Yes...better for us but not for the manufacturers. If your case was reality, then DST would have to put twice as much money into each case and they would end up making the same amount as they would have with 3 figures...since retailers wouldnt order more (or they might order more, but not double) and DST probably couldnt sell enough to get the line manufactured. I'm sure we would all love assortments of 50 unique figures but it doesnt work like that. DST cant make figures if they arent making a profit and your plan would cut their profit in half (and probably ensure the line never gets made).

If anything, I'll end up with several of each Willow and make my own. Vamp's hair + Chosen's head = S3 cute Willow

Cool Mock up!!! Though as a quick suggestion (due to the angle of the face) I'd flip the body image horizontally, then add the face (so the angles match) then flip it all back again. Does that make sense? :-) Regardless, still a cool mock up and even if DST doesn't make her, we all will!!!
I am so psyched to get the Willows....I so totally wish they were available now. I wonder if it will really be May or if the usual lengthy delays will happen like usual? It's so cool to think in a month and a half I could be holding my Chosen Deluxe Willow for real!!!!
My heart is full. :-) (or will be after I get all my Willows!!!!) :-)

I had a dream the other night that the Willow/Kennedy/Kendra line was available as I saw them when I walked into a FP. Then I woke up like "Damn!" The dream seemed so real, I just wish it was. Oh well, still can't wait to get them!
