Hey Guys, I need help (as usual) Can you guys identify what action figures these are (maker, series, name) I can tell who the characters are but not much else! I just bought these as a pre-owned set, and I just wanna know what they are and what they SHOULD have with them. (They weren't meant to be perfect or anything, and they didn't come with packaging so I just wanna know a bit more about them) The likenesses are really good in my opinion if that helps! :unsure:

Well I have the Giles, so I can tell you about him. He's supposed to have the Vampyr book, the Cross of DuLac (which is super cool because you can detach it), an ax that has two side(i think it's right by Oz's guitar & the Claddagh), and a briefacase.
He's made my M.A.C.(Moore Action Collectibles), I'm not sure of the collection name, but they were made in 2000, with at least Buffy and Oz. I'm getting all this info off of my box, so hopefully that helps.
I have other figures from DST and I think that the M.A.C. are the best, and all of these are made by that company. So good job!

Thanks so much beautiful! I think he's only missing the suitcase then. What other ones do you collect hun? Is your collection picture in the "how do you display your..." thread? I heard that MACs were good, I was hoping these were them Got them for a bargain so not complaining! Are these still available? *karmas* for your helpfulness ;D

Ehh, it depends on where you can find them. I know that they're not being produced anymore, but you can definitely find them on eBay or in a comic book store. < That's where I've gotten all my figs, I don't have to pay for shipping them.
I've been meaning to put my pictures up in the "how do you display..." thread, but I've never been getting around to it. I will in the near future though! Then you can see the massiveness of my 6 figs and too many books.

giles, buffy, and oz are all part of the second wave released by m.a.c. infact, that is the full 2nd line. there were exclusives aswell though. there was 'fiesta giles'. he was the sae as the figure you have there but he came with a chainsaw, a poncho, and a hat. the oz varient had a red shirt and wolf arms and face...sort of 'mid transformation'. there was also an oz figure released by entertainmentearth.com. it was the same as the figure you have but he has black hair and a green shirt. the buffy was a repaint (black pants, violet shirt). her hair was also shoulder length. someone correct me if i am wrong but i believe that this was suposed to be the origional figure but fox ordered that the reb/black version be the regular figure.
willow, angel, and the master are the first series by m.a.c. there was also a buffy figure by m.a.c in the first series as well as numerous repaints and varients. the willow varient feAtured red pants and a blue top. the master had no varient. there was a vamp version of angel and buffy had several exclusives. there was a repaint (black pants, white top, and blue jacket), as well as a prophecy girl figure that had the sae jacket and head as the origional buffy but was wearing her long dress.
xander is a part of m.a.c's third series of figures (xander, cordy, and cheer cordy). spike, if memory serves me corectly, was also part of the third series but he was released as an exclusive. i do not believe he was ever available in stores. there was also a military xander repaint and a vapire spike.
it looks like you have most of the correct accessories, minus an ax or two but that is ok because m.a.c re-used a lot of their accessories...especially the steaks!! i bet i have &) of those damned steaks! also, willow came with a backpack, 2 books (blue and red), and a computer and i think xanger came with a gun.
also, i believe the master came with 2 candel stands.
that robot figure looks like mcfarlane's terminator figure.
i hope that helps. if you have any questions, feel free to ask and i will answer as best i can! -jon

Looking at the image... I can see you have damn near every accessory there... Damn I suck lol
Looks like you're missing a one set of Master's candles (he came with 2), and Willow's little blue backpack. She should have two schoolbooks, I think I see them. Oz should have a pair of replacement hands too, which I think are there. You should have 8 stakes, 2 each between Buffy, Giles, Xander and Oz.
Nice collection btw.

You know so so much! Thank you heaps for helping me out *hugs* What's your collection like? Which do you prefer? haha. yeah. i am an onsessed collector from way back to the m.a.c days! i was so obsessed back then that the people who worked in the offices used to mail me promo pics and photos of the figures that they took themselves during production! lol i even had a few emails from people that worked on the line asking for a "fans oppinion" lol. my collection is huge! i have EVERY figure and varient released by m.a.c and almost all of the dst figures. i was so spoiled by mac that i hated almost all of the dst figures. i bought the entire willow line (sculpted by mac but released by dst), as well as the tara/anya line (also sculpted by mac and released by dst). i also have all of the psike figures. i loved that line. but after that, i became more choosy, only buying the figures i liked...which were few and far between. i have most of the buffy figures by dst but only because she is my favorite character. i have one giles by dst, 2 faith, and 2 xander and 1 cordy. after that i stopped buying all together becuase the dst figures were so ugly! i have all of the buffy/faith delux line but none of the willow/kennedy/kendra delux figures. i do not have any of the angel/spike delux figures either. had the delux line continued, i would have bought all of them. if you have any more questions, feel free to send them my way. i am sure i can answer them ;)

It's a shame they're packed away, that makes me sad! Are you planning on making room for them anytime soon? Do they still bring you the joy they did from you first interest? Lol at Thorn... well maybe I WILL come over then. And steal them... muhahahahaha. :D:D:D

This might be a little bit off topic, but, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I want to know if these Willow figures have been released? (Minus white Willow) And lastly.. Ive only got the ''Chosen'' Willow and while I don't mind it, it isn't really the Willow I want.(Not to mention her hair isnt red enough IMO)

The three Willow figures in the first two pictures, minus Chosen, were sadly cancelled. I really wanted the Tough Love one. The last Willow is "Transformation Willow. It was released but it is very rare.

Tough Love Willow is amazing. It looks so much better than both the Chosen Willow's. Alot better detail too. Sad.
BTW, I must ask, is there any plans on doing anything Buffy related in terms of figures?
