Vampire Willow



What happens when the most innocent and kind member of Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Scooby Gang turns into a vampire?

The Vampire Willow 12-inch, fully-articulated figure comes in a Sideshow Collectibles flip lid box with information about the TV show on the inside of the flap.

The cover of the box is a photo of the character within.

Inside the 12-inch figure is snug (along with its accessories) inside a form-fitted, clear-plastic cocoon and plastic straps seen through a clear plastic viewing panel.

I saw the episodes she appeared in and I have to say I prefer the vampire Willow to the ordinary Willow.

That may read strange coming from a Christian, but I know this is a fantasy.  Besides, as a Christian I have nothing to fear from the supernatural.

Vampire Willow’s face is pale and she has ruby red lips pulled back revealing her sharp vampire teeth.  Her brow is heavy and her eyes are lined in black making them look even more sunken in her head.

She has straight reddish-brown hair and her preset hands have black fingernails.

Coloration is well done with subtle tonal variations around the facial features giving the m more depth.

She wears a two-piece, black leather pant shirt with gold buttons running down the front of the jacket.  The collar of the jacket lies low on her shoulders and it fringed with fluted red cloth from her shirt.  The shirt has long sleeves that hide her hands.

She wears square-tipped, high-heel black boots.

Accompanying Willow are a leather cat of nine tails whip, two pieces of garlic, a two-tone, wooden stake and a circular base with wire support.

Details on the whip include a heavy wood and metal handle and separate whip strands brushed at their ends.

The wooden stake is made of two types of wood connected together in the middle.

Cloths on the figure fit snuggly yet move and flex with the figure without unsightly folds or unnatural wrinkles.  Articulation points allow the figure to pose realistically with or without the stand.

This is by far my favorite Willow figure out of the Buffy series.

Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
