BTVSFigs’ Ask Diamond #43 - Questions & Answers

Wednesday 27 September 2006, by Webmaster

Would a deluxe Illyria have too few variants to warrant her own half-line?

We have not looked at her as a deluxe figure yet, so I can’t say what we could or couldn’t do.

Any more details on this rumored ’Angel Series 1’ wave? Will this mean we finally get Doyle?

I am not familiar with that rumor but Doyle is not on any list we’re working on right now.

Will the deluxe wave after Willow, Kennedy and Kendra be a male or female based line?

We don’t even know that yet.

Any plans for a translucent green Dawn figure?

Not currently planned.

Since you’re releasing Glory as a single exclusive figure, could you consider doing the same with The Gift Buffy?

That’s a figure we’re very interested in doing, just not planned right now.

Any chance of a cheerleader Cordy or Tux Xander?

We’ve talked about them but nothing planned at this time.

Is Cordelia taller than Xander?

Charisma Carpenter is 5’8” and Nicholas Brendon is 5’11”. With Cordelia wearing heels, the heights should be correct.

Is there a chance for make a Buffy like the first evil, or the first evil will be made in a crab demon style.

Chances of that would not be good.

Time and Space says that the Scythe will never be made again as Fox won’t allow for that to happen. With you guys now having the props license, can you verify if that is correct?

Honestly, it’s not something we’ve looked into. From what we have found, there are plenty of Scythes out there for fans to purchase.

Will you do a figure in the Deluxe line that you have already done in the regular line e.g Chosen Buffy but it could be a battle damaged Chosen Buffy?

Well I guess we kind of did that with the Willows already, but its not something we’re going to TRY to do...

Could you please explain how the "Buffy Magazine Exclusive Red Dress Glory" will be made available, particularly to international fans.

I think you order it from Buffy Mag like you would any other exclusive holder, and for international you pick it up the same place you always pick up the exclusives.

When will the Globe(s) be shown to the public?

As soon as it’s approved.

When will the Bookends be shown to the public?

As soon as they’re approved.

Have you ever thought about making characters from "Chosen" that were never produced when the figure was part of a series such as Anya or Dawn as solo releases as you are doing with Red Dress Glory or as a Episode themed 2 pack?

I suppose so, but Glory is kind of part of the Buffy/Dawn wave.

How many Deluxe Lines do you have planned for next year as this line has proven to be a success?

We’re happy enough to have wave three done before wave two was in stores but beyond that I can’t say.

What is going on with the other props that were originally planned, such as The Gentlemens Box, Anyas amulet & Spike’s Amulet?

We’re not sure if we’ll release the box, but the amulet is not part of our license because it’s considered jewelry.

Have you decided if you will be making another playset based on the sales of the Library Playset, if so when will we find out what it will be?

Based on the current sales level of the Library, another playset is not being planned... but we’ll have to see if sales keep up over time.

What are the chances of seeing Villian figures of The Judge, The Mayor, The Master, Caleb, Turok Han, Bringers, The Beast, Jasmine, Hamilton, Eve, Lilah, Lindsey, Adam?

That’s too long a list to comment on but some of them have been considered.

Now that dst have consider kennedy would you ever make other potential or she was a special one being related to willow??

Kennedy seemed to be the most popular and like you said there was a natural connection to Willow. We’ll have to see, but I don’t think we’ll do other Potentials.

Could you please explain how the "white haired" and "red haired" variants of deluxe Chosen Willow will be made available (eg. will the "white haired" be a limited variant, or equal numbers, or possibly "swappable" hair)?

One is the regular figure and one will be short packed.

Could you please explain what torso articulation the Vampire Dopplegangland Willow retains (eg. the mid-torso and/or waist articulation)?

Waist

Would you please consider giving some, if not all, of the deluxe Series 3 figures "open" or "accessory holding" hands instead of the "fist" hands (or possibly swappable hands)?

We haven’t settled on that yet, so we’ll have to see..

Will the tough love willow be able to levitate?

Only with fairy dust.

Do you see the end of the 6 inch Buffy/Angel line ending in the near future with maybe a few more lines left to do or to continue for quite some time with many lines left to do?

We’ve got stuff planned well into 2007 so after that, like we’ve been saying all along, we’ll have to see.

Even though Mercedes Mcnab was not scanned, is it still likely that a figure of Harmony will get made?

Not getting scanned does not mean we WON’T do a figure of her BUT it doesn’t help that we don’t have a scan.

Would any Buffy/Angel character whatsoever have the chance to be in the deluxe line or are the certain characters that you wouldn’t want in it?

Everyone is fair game.

With the recent release of Angel/Spike Deluxe line, we learned that they have the ball jointed neck, is there any information of Deluxe Series 3 having the same ball jointed neck?

Deluxe 3 are not in production yet, so we’ll have to see how it breaks out but the ball neck is something we’d like to see continue.

Are there any plans to make figures from the Buffy season 8 comics?

We’re not even sure if we would have rights to that.
