Everything else is absolutely off.

The Tara figures are disgusting they look nothing like Amber Benson.
And have poor accessories & movement.
They didn't even do a brown haired Tara.

If i had to pick the best out of the three it'd have to be Together Forever Tara

I like this tara but I like hush tara more.

I think the face likeness of the figure is great! I believe that Amber went in to get the digital scan for the figures after she'd lost weight, and therefore the body is less accurate. I always loved that Tara wasn't sickly thin! Amber is very sexy.

The outfit accuracy? Oh God. I never really noticed it. I'm just glad we got some Tara figures. I wish they'd have done a 'Real Me' Tara with her hair up. Or give her a whole new sculpt and give her pants, like the pink ones from Bargaining!

The outfit is definitely not from New Moon Rising, but it does look familiar. Could the outfit be from a different ep.?

Smashed im actually really happy about what you said about Amber Benson.
She's a beautiful, funny, talented, smart women who is deffinatley a role model to alot of people including me.

It's one of the things i love about Whedonverse women they aren't pathetic whiny stick figures they are all real wonderfull women

[PJ]

i agree, her face on all the Tara figures look great, but the outfit on this one looks horrible...
and i would like to have seen a Tara from 'Family' or something.

Wow, I am ashamed to say I never noticed the inaccuracy of this before! How bizarre...

I agree that Amber Benson is absolutely gorgeous and so talented. My favourite figure of her is Triangle, but none of them really do her justice.
