Wow, so many characters in one line ! With Vampire Darla instead of vampire Buffy, and with Cordelia, Jenny and Kendra, this line would have been a perfect representation of season 1 to 3. But still interesting !

Impressive to see that quality of Buffy merchandise keeps falling even deeper after those awful POP "figures". I know some people do like this kind of figures, but I certainly wont spend a single cent for that stuff that comes up recently. I'm hoping for 6 inch figures announced but not released Oh, we allready had such a thing called Diamond Select Toys.

I know some people do like this kind of figures, but I certainly wont spend a single cent for that stuff that comes up recently. I'm hoping for 6 inch figures announced but not released Oh, we allready had such a thing called Diamond Select Toys. I have to agree. Besides the announcement of the trading cards with a SMG autograph card everything else kind of fell short of an actual reboot: ReAction, POP, Titan figurine. As a Buffy/Angel collector I would've expected a continuation to the already existing toy line with maybe one major character reintroduced to the line. Maybe 1 or 2 statue pick ups from Gentle Giant or Sideshow. That would be reboot worthy. It's good news if you already collect items within these series, but different if you don't. Personally I haven't even seen any of these new items yet, so have to wait to see what the final product will look like - can they actually look anything less than the preproduction photos...?

Titan also makes some nice looking (and affordable) statues/busts. I've seen the Doctor Who ones in person and I wouldn't mind if a Buffy line were to come of it. I like these little guys I might buy them just to have a Sunnydale Army on my desk at work. I'm much more looking forward to the Pop figures though. With the "mainstream" popularity of Joss it seems Buffy is making a comeback in the merchandise world!

In general I completely agree. I really wish they were doing better new merchandise than all these infantile-looking things, although I do like them to an extent.
I really want more figures and affordable statues (not these massive pricey numbers!).
As after8 pointed out, Titan have done some Doctor Who busts - I have three of them - and I love them. The two Doctors I have look really like the actors. I'd love something similar for Buffy.

Really like the designs of these! I'm most excited about the Mayor, I believe this is first time we got any merchandise of him? but grrr arghh I really hate blind boxes It'll probably cost a fortune to get a complete set!

I'm worried about the blind boxes too. Luckily the comic book store I go to usually opens a box of them to start with and sells them for 75cents more (of course they're really just looking for the rare chase figures). We will most likely have to start a trade section in the Magic Box area if need be. No word yet as to what the rare chase figures will be. My guesses are mostly likely a non-bumpy face spike and angel (at least the Angel one for sure), I would hope for a Cordelia since she's an original Season 1-3 Scooby, and maybe the lovable watcher turned rogue-demon-hunter Wesley?

Do they even make variants or chase figurine for something like this? Generally in the past they don't, but they can subject to change or produce a mystery figure packed 1 per box. Most likely they may have advertised all the figurine, but they can always short produce one or two figures. I wouldn't put past any toy company.

While I really like their Dr. Who line - completing all of those is very expensive. They only way to get entire Core set is to buy a box, then you end up with couple of duplicates and a chase or two. But the chase ones are best to get through eBay (for inflated prices).
So might get couple of Buffy variants but that's it.

They mentioned in the article that there will be 4 chase figures. The article speculated non-bumpy faced Angel and Spike. It does seem odd to me that they initially chose Angelus over Angel, but it looks like they're trying to do one of all the Big Bads.

My guess for chase ones is: Human Spike, Angel and Drusilla and Werewolf Oz. Titan never release new characters as chase just variants.

I'd guess this is just Wave 1. Of course it depends on the sales.
