That is a great statue!!! I wish they had captured the "essence" of Willow that well!!! But I do have to wonder, now that they have Buff, Faith, Willow, and Spike will the line die even though they are all sell outs for Sideshow??? (Yeah, I'm looking at you Electric Tiki!!!)

For two reasons; It's kind of sexist. And, what about the straight girls and gay guys? We want eye candy too! So my feminist and dirty side are agreeing with each other, for once. They're not louder than the happy fangirl in me though and I'm happy about that. |

Wow! He looks really great! ;D That is a great statue!!! I wish they had captured the "essence" of Willow that well!!! But I do have to wonder, now that they have Buff, Faith, Willow, and Spike will the line die even though they are all sell outs for Sideshow??? (Yeah, I'm looking at you Electric Tiki!!!) I know! Willow is by far my favorite character and i would have totally flex paid for that if they just made her not out to be slutty, because her character is far from that(i mean even IF they still wanted to go through with it, they could have at least made a Vamp Willow or even made her how she appeared in Xander's dream in Restless. At least then it would have everyone happy ish) It's kind of sexist. And, what about the straight girls and gay guys? We want eye candy too! I know! I knew this would happen.....and to think i was looking forward to some Spike and Angel man-candy.  Instead we get something that is true to the character which is not what we got for Buffy, most definatly Willow, but Faith i can deal with the way it came out. *sighs* Still he looks pretty awesome though. |

I guess they can't be blamed. They have a business to run and maybe they thought it would sell more to sex the female characters up. Of course, they didn't think of all the JM fans who would go nuts over a naughty Spike statue. |

^^True, but i'm sure they would sell pretty much the same or more if they just would have stayed true to the characters....but i understand what your saying. and i think i would have gone crazy for a naughty Spike statue, even when i'm not the biggest fan of JM or Spike for that matter(im not saying i don't like him or anything...hehe)!!  |

Honestly, I was really hoping they would stick to the 'Women of Sunnydale' theme and we would get Anya, Cordelia, or Drusilla next. Or include Angel characters and do Fred and Ilyria.
It really does seem like they do buffy, willow, spike, faith, sometimes Angel and then the line peters out.
It is a nice statue tho, I just have way too much Spike stuff already.

Oh there's never enough Spike stuff imo. Pity this is so darn expensive though.  The likeness is fab though. Angel will be coming up soon so they say. |

I second the idea of a Drusilla statue. Juliet Landau was in my opinion the most beautiful woman on a show packed with beautiful women, and we have hardly any Dru merchandise at all. The Vamp Dru Mac figure is nice enough but human Dru is a poor likeness at best. Also I think Buffy fans used to getting the same old same old from these statue lines--Buffy, Willow, Angel, Spike, and maybe Faith if we're lucky before a line dies--would enjoy a well-sculpted Drusilla to go with their Spike. Another important point when picking characters--statue makers need to consider which characters look good on a shelf together. For instance, now that we're getting a Spike, I think a Drusilla would be a far better choice than a Cordy or an Anya. I also think a Tara (non slutty, please God) would be wonderful with our Willow, and though I have no proof to back up my assertion, I do believe people who buy these statues, whether they're PF's, Tikis, or this new maquette line, really do give thought to "character combinations". I think the next choice after Angel, assuming the line survives, should be Drusilla or Tara, both for the novelty and the fact that they go marvelously well with the statues we have now. I think a Cordy or a Xander at this juncture might just doom the line, as one slow-selling statue can apparently cause Sideshow to stop producing figures. I think Cordy and Xander would work better down the road a bit. Character choice is paramount. I'm convinced the Tiki line died because of the choice of Glory, and the fact that we got too many variation figures too quickly. Two each of Buffy and Willow is too much that early in a new statue line. And I understand that the sculptor apparently loved Buffy season five but someone more knowledgable about the show should have taken them aside and explained a bit about which characters people are interested in having immediately, and which ones are back-burner ideas at best. I really like this new maquette line (though I could do with a less slutty Willow, but whatever--her facial likeness is amazing and, ahem, I am a straight guy  --and I don’t want it to end because Sideshow has no one on staff who really understands what the fans want. Not to appoint myself spokesman for all Buffy fans, but I really am convinced that these maquettes will sell better if they “work together” on the shelf. (Also I want a Dru statue damn it!) |

I like this one a lot more than the human one, but if I was to get Spike I would prob still get the human one because I think if would go better with the others.

Cool, Hansi! Be sure to share the pictures with us. I saw some pictures of the statue last night, and was really impressed. Ended up signing up for the Waiting List on the Excl. version, so hope I do end up with one of those. Just to be on the save side also preordered Angel Excl. statue while those available. Now if only I had a chance to get that Excl. Willow. |

Id only got the exclusive Buffy because of the Scythe. I think the little Werewolf that came with willow is ... crap lol. Faiths knife looks nice, but I think the crossbow does look even better. It makes her look more sexy As for Spike and Angel im only getting the regulars too. The extra headsculpts are nice, but since I have the Premium Format Statues displayed with Vampire heads (the human heads suck!) im going to display those Maquettes with humanfaces anyway. |

Yeah, I get what you mean, I got excl. Faith just because it was the same price but still chose to display it with the crossbow. In case of the vamps; regular versions usually available quiet some time after so might as well get the excl. and just swap them from time to time. Willow on the other hand; is quiet cool with both stuffed werewolf and the extra backpack with another werewolf; make it look cooler than just her standing there. |
