orangerfulPics of the Buffy figures from Wizard World Chicago. I thought most of these looked better in the previous pictures. But the biggest complaint has to be with the "deluxe" figures that have too much articulation! They are freakishly out of proportion to accomodate the HUGE ball/socket joints.
White Witch Willow amuses me just because you can make her sit like that, but I already have 3 Willow on my desk. I do like the Halloween Willow though, but her waist is almost non-existant. There are definate proportion issues going on, especially in the season 7 regular Willow, her body is far too tiny. Diamond is getting sloppy.
Oh well, if they look like crap, then I won't buy them. Saves me money.
Speaking of spending money on toys I already have too many of - the Star Wars Battlepacks are just EVIL! They keep repacking toys, and as an opener, I usually don't buy stuff I already own, BUT the fiends at Hasbro somehow found out that if they put the toys in really really cool packaging, I would be tempted to buy toys I had just to have the really cool box. For example - Battle above the Sarlacc. I'm pretty sure I have all of those figures (except the Skiff guard, but he's ugly) so I really don't need this, but look at the cool little Skiff and the Sarlacc??? Oh now I want it!
Chewbacca got no love. He's totally in that scene but not included in the battlepack. If I was an uber-nerd, I would write a strongly worded letter to Hasbro telling them that Wookiees have feelings too.
