BTVSFigs’ Ask Diamond #36 - Questions & Answers

Monday 23 January 2006, by Webmaster

Any plans for Mini Statues again?

We’d love to do more. They are just on the back burner right now, but we’ve got some great ideas.

If the two-pack with Glory does well, is there chance that you would go back and re-do her in her signature red dress?

It’s pretty safe to say for any character that if demand is good, we’ll make more products.

When will the variants for the Tara busts be announced?

Are you even sure we’re going to do a second version?

Will DST make busts of Willow, Xander, and Giles?

Those are characters we would consider.

I live in the U.K, will you be supplying any stores like Forbidden planet unsigned figures of life of the party Lorne

Nope.

Is there any chance of an Adam being released in the future? If not then will the MAC Adam sculpt ever be released as an ornament?

The MAC sculpt was never approved, so as it exists, it can’t be released in any form.

If an Adam were ever to be released, would it be the MAC sculpt or would it be a new one?

See above.

Will their be any new Wesley and Lorne ornaments? The last ornament wave kind of missed them out.

We have not decided the 06 ornaments. Heck, I haven’t even taken the decorations down from last month.

What about a Master bust or a Adam bust?

No plans for Adam anytime soon, and Master is one we’ve discussed but he’s not in the schedule as of right now.

With DST apparently re-considering their stance on "battle damaged" figures with the recently announced details of the second "Deluxe" figure line featuring Spike and Angel, is there any possibility that this might also pave the way for a "battle damaged" Chosen Buffy figure?

It’s not really a change of direction, It’s more something that came along and really fit for Destiny Angel and Spike. Chosen Buffy could be another case for an exception, but we’ll just have to see.

Is Cordelia being considered for the Deluxe line, if not a two pack, box set, and/or convention exclusive?

Considered, but she’s not on the list we’re working on right now.

Speaking of the Deluxe line, would Willow be considered for this line?

All the core characters will at least be considered.

Will any of the newly announced amazing box sets/2-packs include accessories?

Yes.

What are all of the release dates they have so far i.e. the regular series 5/3, the boxset, and the two 2 packs?

We can’t announce any dates until the partners are lined up. When we do, it will be in their press releases.

When will we see pictures of Cordelia, Xander, Joyce, Buffy vs. Drac, any surprises?

Should be around Toy Fair time if all goes according to schedule.

Is there anything about the library playset that is being kept a secret?

Not that I can think of. If you mean something like an exclusive figure - no there isn’t an exclusive figure.

Who are the exclusive holders for the boxset, and the two 2 packs?

We’re not free to say yet because all the PO’s are not in.

How do you expect to top the Buffy/Dawn line?

Umm, I guess that means you really like that wave? To be honest, we hope to make each wave better and that’s our intention. We keep learning more and more as we go, so we hope each wave is better.

I know you said that there was no redoing any of mac figures, but you redid bunny Anya, right?

I wouldn’t say we redid it...I would say we improved upon it :) Cut me some slack guys, ok?

Is there any way you can tell how a product has done even before they are released? Can’t you check pre-orders to see how much have been sold?

Not really. We’ll get some feedback from our partners on pre-orders, but most of our stuff sells best when people can see it.

Which figure out of the Buffy/Dawn line are you most proud of?

We’re all a team here and I think each of us likes different figures. I like Vampire Buffy, because that’s one I always wanted to do and Fox and Sarah finally said OK. So for that reason I am proudest of it.

Matt: Prom Buffy just nails the likeness, but I’m most proud of the Joyce figure since I didn’t think it would ever happen.

How far are you guys willing to take the buffy/angel figure line?

How long are you guys willing to spend your hard earned money on it?

Is it possible, maybe as a con exclusive, DST could release a "Primeval" Buffy with non glowy eyes?

Not in the plans yet for something like that, but to be honest, you never know what we’ll think of at the last minute.

With the upcoming release of Deluxe Series 2 Spike and Angel is there any possibility of any "Deluxe" two-packs or boxed sets of "deluxe" figures?

Not yet, but we’ll get to the point soon of at least being able to try something like that.

With more and more figures of major characters coming out, is the possibility for a Harmony figure getting better and better?

Nope.

Is there any plans for 2-packs with the Cordy/Xan line??? Possibly a Hells Bells with Xander and then Buffy and Halfrek or Tara, considering we already have Anya?

None of those are being considered at this time. Sorry.

When will you announce the next line of figures?

We hope around Toy Fair.

Will Cheerleader Buffy come with two pom-poms, or one?

Two. Who would be crazy enough to just do one? Ever see a cheerleader with one pom-pom?
