PREVIEW : BUFFY PREMIUM FORMAT

[FrankenFan]

Darth, I like the way you think!

The Primitive first appeared in "Restless" (S4), and again in "Intervention" (S5) and "Get It Done" (S7).

A visually interesting character vital to the origin and legend of the Slayer, the Primitive would be an outstanding addition to the Buffy line. She could come with the little Shadow Men carousel!!!

She's the first Slayer! We need her!!!

I'm not a fan of nameplates either (although I liked them on the 8" Uni's), but the most distracting element of this one is the bright lilac color the "Buffy" logo is painted, it really pulls your eye away from the figure an down to the base. With apologies to the Master Painters at SC, I sampled some of the orange-brown rust color from the base to colorize the logo, and to my eye, it brings it more in harmony with the rest of the piece:



It's obvious SC is testing the waters with this figure, but if it performs well enough to justify continuing the line with more characters from the Buffyverse, I hope the hight of the bases will remain consistent to keep the figures in scale with each other.

MUCH better. Sideshow, take note!

I agree with FF. I think the bright purple does distract the attention away from the figure itself. Than again, you know how I feel about name plates.

 

[Migwit]

But wasn't the lilac/purple the actual color that was used for the Buffy logo on tv, at least during the 1st season? Where have I seen the logo this color before, other than the Buffy coffee mug I have, that has this same Buffy logo, all in lilac just like the nameplate on this figure?

Anyone? Anyone?

Whatever, I have more respect for Frankenfan than any one else on these boards. I mean those banners...........
And his rational. logical good sense.
Kurt...you are the man!

 

[Darklord Dave]

I'd have to disagree. I think the rust color is too subtle. Buffy has always been associated with purple and lilac (see the SSC boxes from the first 12" set). I think the purple jumps so people won't be saying "who's that?".

But then, I'd prefer for the base to light up and play the theme music too...

 

[GSRJedi]

I think the purple does stand out too much, but definitely seems more characteristic of the show.

If it's gonna make sounds, I could do with out the theme song, but quotes from the should would be nice. I might even buy an Andrew PF if it quotes like "One time you died and I was a Mexican." (or was it Mexicoan).

 

[BDboystoys]

just thought I'd ask, could we get some high res pics of Buffy? Or has it already been done.

Thanks!

 

[Darklord Dave]

Here's a couple...

I would have gone with Giles saying "Bloody Hell!" But hey! To each his own.

I expected you to use Giles quote too! Very dissapointed in you thames, very dissapointed...

Ahhh. Much better. (I'm working on the music.)

 

[creecher]

Is there a size limit on pics Dave.

Very creative Frankenfan. I love how the sequenced flashes don't coincide. Gotta love that theme music, it rocks. Now for the spring loaded stabby arm action.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Excellent job FF! I'd buy that lightup Buffy in a heartbeat!

 

[Protozaius]

I think this PF is amazing... but, I dunno if this has been covered in this thread (it's a pretty long one!)... well, isn't Buffy suppose to be holding the stake with her right rather than her left? The publicity photo that looked so close to this piece had her holding the stake in her right hand. I tried to find the picture that was posted on this thread but couldn't find it.

Sorry if this has already been covered....

 

[prophecygirl]

There are a couple of images from this photo shoot where she's holding the stake with her left hand. I think a lot of the time, images get flipped round so the stake's on the opposite side.

I think I'm even beginning to bore myself BD, let alone the rest of you. lol

Even so: GILES!!!

 

[thamesvalidude]

Great work on the PF base Frankenfan!!!
