Vampire Buffy

During the 1990s Fox TV’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a huge hit.  Droves of fans loved the adventures of Buffy and her Scooby Gang that protected Sunnyvale citizens from all sorts of nasty critters.

Demons, vampires, witches, wizards and all sorts of denizens from the underworld and magical realms swarmed to Sunnyvale, the nexus of the supernatural.

Sideshow Collectibles created a huge collection of Buffy 12-inch, fully articulated figures-all of which came in Sideshow’s flip lid boxes with figure and accessory cocoons and protective clear plastic display panels.

What happens to the world’s most famous vampire hunter when she becomes a vampire herself?

Of all the Buffy, Buffy The Vampire Slyer 12-inch figures Vampire Buffy is my favorite.

The Vampire Buffy figure captures Buffy at her bloodsucking best.  Her cloths, facial features, accessories and overall look all click.  Everything works.

The packaging is a box with a flip open front lid.  On the over is a close-up of Vampire Buffy’s face.  Other Buffy photos are on all sides of the box.

Inside Buffy and her accessories are secure in a form fitting clear plastic cocoon covered by a clear sheet of plastic for display and protection.

The Vampire Buffy face is a masterpiece of sculpting.  Buffy’s human face is clearly distinguishable but she also has the pronounced forehead and heavy brows of a vampire, much like Angel.

Her eyes look slightly smaller than human and are sunk under heavy brows with no eyebrows.

Buffy still has her long blond hair but it is slightly pulled back from her large forehead.  Two hair strands hang on either side of her face.  Pierced earrings are also clearly seen.

The figure comes dressed in a short sleeve blouse with a horizontal black strip at the collar.  A white strip is below it, then a light blue then a broad black horizontal strip completes the blouse.

Over the blouse she wears a light blue jacket with long sleeves, cuffs, reinforced chest area, large blue collar, four large blue buttons and some pretty serious in scale stitching.

The rest of her wardrobe includes a pair of loose black slacks and black short boots.

Buffy’s hands are small and delicate with a silver ring on her left hand finger.

Accessories include a large two-blade battle-axe with a steel shaft and double hand leather/wooden handle.

A single ornate blade battle axe with attached single blade knife on a silver shaft and with a double wood and leather handle and wooden stack make up the rest of Buffy’s weapons.

A Buffy circular base and support wire stand allow the figure to pose in various action stances.

The figure poses with no clothing restrictions or strain, moves smoothly and holds the weapons without slippage.
