Official Buy-a-Figure from DST Day! As part of our attempt as a community to SAVE BUFFY FIGURES from possible cancellation we here at SlayAlive are organizing a one day event where everyone purchases at least ONE figure directly from Diamond Select Toys, or if you are an international customer we encourage you to by through ANY other outlet! We want everyone to take part! This poll will decide which figure will be purchased this time. If this goes well, we can have more events in the near future. Each figure listed is sold at a normal price of only 14.99! Please do your part and buy a figure! It's not much and if we band together and all order the same thing on the same day, we are likely to send a good, strong message that WE WANT MORE! Decide now on your pick, and once we get a good number of people who will take part...the special "purchase" day will be announced, and everyone needs to buy the figure at that time!! Please vote right away, and post a quick message showing your support. It will be much appreciated. Slayin' Alive!

Yes this is a great idea Cowboyguy! At the very least they'll know we're there in a positive way. Can you give a vague estimate on the date though?

I voted for Chosen Willow. I love deluxe figures, but so far I've only ordered Kendra. This will give me a good reason to pre-order/order Willow!

I think any of the deluxes will be a good vote.
Willow too, cause if we focus on HER we might have a good chance of getting the remaining versions of her!

This makes me so depressed. I am sick of them canceling figures! If so many of us have already pre-ordered them, can't they at least make the ones that they have orders for? I was dying to get those Dru figures, and especially Band Candy Giles!! Grr!! I am so sick of this. It just ain't fair. And they even said the Revamped ones were being shipped in the next week!
Arugh!
Anyway, yes, please you guys, let's do this, and let's do it soon, because we need our figures back.

I'm in. No. The new Buffy figures suck. That's why nobody's buying them. End of discussion. Yaaaawn. You're quite an inspirational man.

Well I don't think the ones they cancelled suck.
I really wanted the other deluxe Willows, and I will try to do something about it! So no, it's not the end of the discussion.
And for the people who are going to be in this....
Figures.com has asked me to create a press release so they can put it up on their site, in order to advertise our cause to thousands. I guess they don't suck that bad after all...

I stopped collecting a while ago but I'm going to participate in this. I'll be buying the new Chosen Willow figure and possibly a couple more.
Keep up the good work!

Theres a time and a thread for being negative, but this ain't the place.

I'm not the only one who thinks the last few rounds of the Buffy figures sucked. Clearly most Buffy fans agree, or they'd be buying them. They haven't made any good figures since the Willow line. They haven't been listening to fans, what they want, etc, and they changed the style of the figures and now they look blocky and cheap. Also, the new extra-jointy Willow/Kennedy/Kendra figures are hideous. Great heads, terrible bodies. If they ever make a line that comes near to that original Willow line, I'll buy them. I'm a true Buffy fan, and the stuff they've been releasing just isn't up to the BTVS standard. It doesn't matter how many people don't like the figures really. I think the quality of the regular line went to shizzle as soon as DST dropped the MAC sculpts (Wes and Lorne onwards) personally but this isn't the place to biatch about it. You need to go outside and sit on the grass in the sun and get in a better mood before coming back to this thread and stinking it up with your foul posts mate, cause this is a thread with a mission. And if you don't want to participate, why are you even still in this thread?

I'm saying though that your mission is ridiculous. Why make a mission to save figures that hardly anybody wanted in the first place. The figures were poorly developed and there isn't a big enough fan interest. Send your money to charity as a group, in the name of Buffy, don't waste it on shitty figures that do nothing for anybody. What are you still doing here? F*CK OFF and b*tch elsewhere.

Suggesting people not waste their money on a stupid cause? Oh so you're doing us a favor? And there I was thinking you were just being an arsehole. You're the only one here who thinks buying these figs is a waste of money.
