I think the Toy Fair organizers added two days to the length of its time span just to agonize us that much more.

I think the Toy Fair organizers added two days to the length of its time span just to agonize us that much more. LOL the sad thing is, we don't know WHEN after ToyFair we are going to find out. It could be Wednesday (right after ToyFair) or a week from Wednesday. The 'next few days' tends to mean many different things in the toy world lol

So we are all just waiting....

But if it's a tooled figure it shouldn't take too long to produce it. Hopefully only a few months...maybe sometime in the summer...but we are dealing with DST to get the figures produced so it will more likely be this time next year

I realize this may shatter some hopes and dreams but bear with me:
What I can say is that DST has informed us that there are no new Buffy figures or product on the current 2008 schedule. They are waiting to see if something happens that will spark more interest in the Buffyverse. They do not believe the comic is enough. The line is not canceled, nor is their license expired. There is more, but I don't know if Kevin wants me to talk about any of the technical stuff. If he says it's okay, then I will post it soon.
There is more to this story though. More on that later.
There is hope! I want you guys to help me with this:
Let's discuss ANY ideas we can come up with for creating "new" figures all from pre-existing parts. Do not include any part that has not been released, as there is some misinformation about what has been tooled and what has not. I need these ideas, to later relay elsewhere. It will help.

So even though TST wants a figure DST is saying no...is that what it is? I really hate DST! What I want are some of the figures that DST showed us and pulled. If it's a matter of kit bashing and repainting I can do that myself! ...but I will help with the brainstorming. I guess we should change the title of this thread to "No news for figure fans."

I'm sorry, I feel bad cause I thought it was going to be so much more. There is a bit more info, but I just can't say yet.
I wouldn't lose hope, etc. We're gonna get something going but I just don't know what yet.

I can't sleep...I'm thinking of kit bashing possibilities. They could make a Xander and/or Giles using deluxe body parts and their regular line heads so that we can round out the core scoobies in our deluxe collections. There are a lot of Buffy's that could be made using the deluxe bodies like: The Gift Buffy: OMWF Body, Chosen Willow Hair Enemies Buffy: Deluxe Body w/ OMWF arms and flag painted on shirt The First as Buffy: Deluxe Buffy w/long sleeve arms and a purple top. The Harvest Buffy: Deluxe Body with V neck and long sleeves If we could use the V neck on from the Crush Dru then a Becoming Part 2 Buffy using the V neck torso and bare arms painted to 3/4 sleeve and Angel with a human head and button up shirt painted black. The only problem would be the hair sculpt...I suppose they could use Chosen Willows hair or just use regular Buffy hair even though it wouldn't be completely accurate. What's my line part 2 Kendra using Deluxe Kendra with OMWF Arms Killer in me Kennedy and Willow using Deluxe bodies with jackets The Harvest Xander using a School Hard Spike body with overshirt...which could work for a lot of his outfits. The Zeppo Xander using an Angel Body with button up and jacket Giles could use the same body it's just finding an outfit with a button up and no tie for him. If they have Woods head tooled I always thought a Lies my Parents told me Deluxe Wood would be great, using the tank top torso with Spikes over shirt and short sleeve arms. That is what I have for now. Edit: How could I forget Hush Buffy just using Graduation Day Buffy with the Black Jacket, Black Pants and the pink shirt. If they want to make her more accurate they could use Chosen Willow's hair. They could also make Buffy from the "Power Shot" at the end of the Harvest. Again if they could use the V neck with long sleeves and then End of Days Buffy's head. I know the pony tail isn't quite accurate but it's pretty close. She could come with the Black Jacket as well. So many more variant possibilities would be open if we had all the body parts from the 3 Deluxe Willow Variants.

Everything tooled has been released besides Sanctuary Faith.
We wouldn't be able to use any other parts besides what we have now.
I like the Hush Buffy idea. She could come with a stake, the Gentlemen's box, and a crossbow.

Thanks. She was one of my first customs and I really liked how she turned out. I would love to see something like her produced. But will the V neck and long skirt used on Crush Drusilla be usable...that is assuming that Crush Drusilla is still being produced. And Matt himself told me that the Willow Variants were tooled! A Lover's Walk Willow and Xander could work too. Use a Deluxe Willow with OMWF Buffy Sleeves and a School Hard Spike with a Xander head. The Willow's hair would be too long though...If only we had Vampire Willow's hair. Sorry, I'm all over the place with this post.

Hmm I dunno. Kevin is saying they talked about options and everything that has been tooled has been released. Otherwise they'd have lost money in not releasing the Willows despite the tooling.

wow, I got to agree.. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I think this stings more then DSTS first announcement about the upcoming figures being canceled - only because the lead up to the announcement made it seem like we were getting something new.
I'm sure there is more to it then just no new figures for 2008, but based on what's been said there after I can only figure that DST are willing to kit-bash and repackage some sort of new figure using existing parts.
But, CBG you said no figure was tooled except Sanctuary Faith? and to release any other non-tooled figure would be to much of a loss. Then what about Sanctuary Faith? Are we going to get her from someone?
