I don't think any of these are "in character". They're all too trashy. Maybe Faith would wear what she's wearing, but I doubt we'll ever see Willow & Buffy in something like that. High School Willow would not have bare legs and a skirt that short. I think collectors call this a T&A line (google it if you're unfamiliar, since we're not allowed to use those words). Not that I think that's necassary bad, I would just have prefered more in character statues. The Faith one, "borrowing" Jo Chen's pose is the most in character one.
Not that I can get a good view if Willows face, I would need a bigger screen, but I don't see much likeness.
I read on another forum that Willow's base was suppose to be Gachnar's seal, which I think I can see. Pretty cool.

Dawn! That is the character statue thing I was thinking of!! I agree with what you have said Sky, they are too trashy, which I guess is fun, but I also like my statues to be a bit more true to life (apart from the tiki line which I love, but then that is more animation than real, these statues are real but trashy, if that make sense?!) Googled T & A and yes, definitely!!!

Urgh. Not sure why there's a need for a Sleazy Fantasy line of Buffy statues. The likenesses aren't there either.

Willow looks like she should be in a rap video, and Faith looks like Rizzo from Grease. Buffy looks pretty decent though.

well, im not really a fan of the Willow (or the Buffy for that matter). Rather disappointed and angry actually, as Willow is my favorite character. To me, they are portraying these as kinda of skanky! not to be rude at all but, don't you guys agree?! i mean Willow would never wear something that short or revealing, especially if she's supposed to be "High School" Willow! Also, i've really never liked the Buffy either, i mean the concept is just odd.......i don't know why they don't create statues based on episode looks or something like that. The only one i kinda of like is Faith because that's Faith's character to be a little revealy, and plus i like the fact they based this one off of the Season 8 comic(except for the paint can/Crossbow thing*look at my previous post*......it really annoys me still!). But anyways, it's not like it matters what my opinion of these are because it's not like i could get them...they are WAY to expensive! That's why i like the "Tooned Up" line because they are expensive, but not outrageously expensive. Sorry my long post, but!

^^Totally agree, thats what I was getting at earlier, they just look trashy and to do that to Willow especially is just plain wrong. One of my male friends is a huge Willow fan and really fancies Alyson, and even he said he was annoyed they had sexed her up as it goes against everything her character is about.
I quite like the Faith one but they are way too expensive. I disliked the Buffy as soon as I saw it before it was released, but not as much as I hate that Willow!!
