I don't plan on becoming a big collector or anything, but I would like to start developing my own little Buffy/Angel shrine of sorts. So surprise, surprise that I bought a Wesley figure from Cinequest.com. It was only $6.00 (although $9 shipping which was kind of upsetting, but no worries). I got the Wesley figure designed after the "Rain of Fire" episode.  |

The ROF Wes figure is nice. I like the cabinet thing.
I took mines head off and put it on Spike's body though.
Heh.

Ask and you shall receive....  It's that without the floor section, which was removed (to cut costs I imagine). The figure is pretty cool, and the cabinet is nice and big. The only thing I don't like about it is they changed Wesley's top to blue. |

I had a coupon for some cheap shipping at TFAW - so I ordered 3 more Wesley figures, lmao.
So now I have 4 figures on the way:
- "Rain of Fire" Wesley
- "Parting Gifts" Wesley
- Angel Season 4 Wesley
- Buffy Season 3 Wesley
I really can't wait to get all of them in the mail.

Welcome to the world of figure collecting! Just getting started you have a lot of possibilities! I myself have just started on the MAC stuff thanks to a Blue Jacket Buffy figure I picked up at a local comic shop for 14.99. MAC figures really are cool. Anywayz, don't forget the watchers boxset for "Shroud of Rahmon" Wesley! Oh, and Deluxe "End of Days" Buffy really is like holding a lil mini-Sarah in your hands if that sort of thing interests you lol.

I'm going to head down to a local comic shop tomorrow and see if they have any figures (and Angel Issue #5 because I'm finding it really hard to wait for TFAW to send me my copy).

Also, the Deluxe Chosen Willow is AMAZING. I wanted to order the white hair chase version of it, but didn't have enough money at the time. So I ordered the red hair version, and the sellere accidentally sent me the white one!  |

My "Apocalypse Nowish/Rain of Fire" Wesley came yesterday, but I have some family visiting my school this weekend for Easter so I've been busy.
I'll get it all opened up on Sunday probably, but I'm really excited!
My 3 others from TFAW should arrive by the end of this next week. I don't know what I am going to do with them yet. My room in my apartment has accumulated a lot of stuff over the year and a half that I have lived in it, so I don't have anywhere that I could display them. I don't even know if I will open them or not yet.
Since I will have 4 of them pretty soon I will probably open up one of them at least, but I just don't know yet.
I think there are only two more Wesley figures out there that I don't have. The one of him from "Waiting in the Wings" and the Watcher pack with Wesley, Giles, and Spike/Randy. I will probably get some other figures before I get them though.
I'd probably like to get a Buffy, Lorne, Faith, Angel or Xander figure next, but it will be a little while since I am running low on moolah.

I got 3 more figures in the mail today, so all of them have arrived. Since I don't plan on becoming a serious collector, I opened them all up right away.  Really loved the detail that went into each one. I think my favorite is the "Season 4" Wesley, as I like the green shirt and the brown jacket is closer to its actual color, and he came with great accessories. I don't have anywhere in my apartment that I can display them, but I plan to one day. If I can find my digital camera cable I'll try and set them up on my desk or something and take a picture of them. It will be a while before I get more figures, but I think I want a Season 7 Buffy and either Season 7 Xander or Vampire Xander next, as well as "Waiting in the Wings" Wesley. |
