I think it's interesting that there could be so many action figures for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I mean, I get the outfits and all, but even positionable figurines versus the painted metal ones versus sculptures.....
I know I'm not alone in thinking that the figurine "Prophecy Girl" is the best Buffy figure out there. She's got that gorgeous dress, real (instead of plastic) hair, her special cross necklace, stake, and crossbow. It's a wonderful episode and it's great to have a figurine of this caliber to commemorate it.
There are many opinions about which figurines give the best likeness to Sarah Michelle Gellar. Ha, probably as many opinions as there are figurines. Obviously I really like the Clayburn Moore figures. He's kinda old school, I know. But there's something really wonderful about them. I don't think that all the Moore figures necessarily look just like Sarah Michelle Gellar, but eh, that's OK with me. There's artistry there.
I like to think that one of these days I'll have all of the Buffy figurines. The show means so much to me. Even so, a Buffy figure like "Primeval" is not my taste. It looks like some middle-aged woman in some sort of smock. Not a whole lot going on there.
I just got the "Vampire" Buffy from the First Season episode "Nightmares." That's a fun departure for me. I've not delved into the alternate versions much. No Dark Willow or Demon Giles. One of these days, maybe. I'll need a bigger house!
For me, the reason to even have these figurines is because the show, the story and the actors are so great. So what's behind my Buffy action figure craze? I love the show and having these figurines brings those stories closer to home for me. I can't describe it any better than that.
