Hi everybody!
I'm brand-spanking-new here, and just looking for some good info on Buffy & Angel action figures. I didn't become a fan of either show until 2007 (for some reason, even though I was a diehard fan of Firefly, I always thought Buffy was dumb... stupid me).
Anyway, I'm collecting all kinds of 6" action figures, and trying to get as many characters as possible from both shows. I've got about 25 different ones now, but after browsing the internet discussion and fan sites about them, I have some questions.
First, I saw a photo of a Principal Wood action figure, and I was like REALLY?!? But as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist... does anyone know about this?
Second, although they've made multiple permutations of characters that existed in only a few episodes, there's no Gunn! And no Mayor Wilkins! And no Andrew or Jonathan! How can this be? Does anyone make custom figures for these guys?
One of the main reasons I want as many characters as possible is that I'm building a sort of "mini-Sunnydale." I'm actually working on 1/12 scale exact replica of Buffy's house for the figures, and I hope to build other Sunnydale and LA sites as well, particularly the Bronze, the Hyperion, the Magic Box, and some others (depending on how much free time I'm able to drum up).
On the subject of customs---holy crap! I had no idea these existed, and they're AMAZING! Are they impossible to make? Who makes them? Are you MFA students or artists? How the heck do you do that? Can I make some too?
Wphew! Okay, that was a lot. I just wanted to say howdy and introduce myself.
