It probably seems odd, but I want to start with a supporting character, Anya. She's one of my favorites on the show. Since I came to the Buffyverse so late, my collecting has been scattered.
I've basically bought what strikes my fancy and Anya in a bunny suit was irresistible! It's from the BTVS episode "Fear, Itself" -- one of my favorite episodes. There are two versions of the figure. One, the earlier one, the bunny suit is not removable. And then the later one, the suit is removable. I had to get them both! I also have Anya in her wedding dress -- the "Hells Bells" episode. It's expensive. Don't expect to find it for under $50. Once I had those two, I had to get the rest. I guess I'm what they call a "complete-ist." Who knew?
I love the "shop keeper" Anya. I know people complain that it doesn't look enough like Anya. Maybe I'm just smitten with the accessories. The little Magic Box counter and the bat are cute!
The Anyanka action figure is good too, but does anyone else thinks it's weird that she comes with the hammer from Season 5? I mean this is a Season 3 figure!
What's left? Oh! duh. OMWF -- I think this is the prettiest of the Anyas. It's an excellent recreation and the little bunny? Genius. And if you can find the boxed set that includes D'hoffryn and Anya, it's amazing. They did an excellent job with D'hoffryn. His little feet are perfect.
I'll end by saying that you can spend a fortune on this stuff or sometimes, especially on eBay, you can get the figures for cheap. But the cheap ones are usually out of the box. I like to have a set in the box and one to have out or to bring to work, where my coworkers think I'm nuts!
