Sideshow BTVS Faith Maquette Statue

[TOE]

I wanted to start this thread as I just came across a picture in Toyfare magazine of the next line up from Buffy Maquette. This is the only picture I could find so if you find more please let me know and I spoke to someone at the Sideshow Booth at SDCC and they said it should be up on there site in a month or so.

Great to finally have some news and a picture - looking forward to the full reveal!

I think the face sculpt is vastly improved from the original one and is definitely the best likeness I have ever seen of Eliza on a figure. Good job!

I am sad, however, that they still chose to keep her in that silly little top - she never wore anything quite that revealingly cut on the show(s) and I think it feels off for her character in my opinion - it should have gone down to her naval. I understood some people's comments against Willow's pose for her statue but her outfit was accurate - here the inaccurate thing is that top and I think it's tough because it seems like a choice made for sex appeal perhaps. I will reserve my full assessment for the big reveal and pics though - really want to like it and want to want it lol.

Very, very pleased with the new sculpt - excellent Eliza but will still fit in with the more stylized other figures.

I skip Willow, but I'm DEFINITELY gonna get this one! The best eliza dushku sculpt so far! I cannot wait for the preorder! whee!

wow thats a great statue. If only trevor took requests as I would buy a Faith head in a heartbeat for a hot toys body. How big are these statues anyway?

 

[olvidadero]

We thought this day would never come!! I am happy with how the sculpt turned out, it's not the best likeness ever, but neither were Buffy and Willow and I still love them both (can't wait to see production pictures of Willow, I hope they don't mess her up). I will be pre-ordering next week without any kind of hesitaiton. Thank you Sideshow! But next time, don't keep us waiting so much just for a preview

I have to disagree a little cos she always wore a low cut top/little vest like tops, only difference was she usually had a short jacket over it. The tops she wore were usually longer and went down to her jeans (just), I agree with that but they were still short.

It seems they've decided not to add the jacket and have shortened the top a little which is in keeping with this line really and I think this is great cos lets be honest the whole character of Faith oozed in your face sex appeal. That's how she was portrayed, not afraid to show how sexy she was because she knew it. It showed her confidence and to me at least is what made the Buffy Vs Faith relationship more interesting cos they were complete opposites, especially earlier in the series.

As rs said earlier in the thread it is based on the Art for the Season 8 Comic, and to me they pretty much nailed it (now the likeness is better, not perfect but much better):

Looking good imo

All of this....+1

Actually it IS the best likeness. Try to find another Eliza sculpt that looks this good. And the lighting isn't helping. I've seen this thing and it's amazing! Don't believe what you see in pics.

I'll be ordering her without fail..

Lara, I don't like the color of the shirt. Will still be getting her.



Edited because I put Lightening instead of lighting. Nice.

 

[grphyx1]

I don't think there was ever a question that you'll get this. It's true though once you see things in front of you, totally different. And luckily they didn't enhance the T's and kept it real.

Yeah, it's true. I've made it known I would order her.

I really hope everyone who orders her is happy with her and that there aren't the same feelings here as is with Willow.

And the issue with her top (for some of you), well that shouldn't really be an issue because Faith was umm...well, you know..

Not bad at all.

She would never had showed that much leg. That according to how I interpreted the character anyway.

I'm not happy about the shortness of the top, but I think she would wear it in a heartbeat(specially if people told her not too, I doubt she's changed that much). Specially if she's going clubbing. In Five by five, she didn't have that much more on.

I definitely see what people are saying about Faith's attitude being in line with a revealing outfit but the pictures posted confirm what I said in that the tops usually went down to her naval or lower lol. I have no problem with it being low cut on the top to reveal her chest more but the bare stomach just doesn't fit for me because I have rarely if ever actually seen Faith wearing something like that so it seems an odd choice. Just me though I guess.

I am hopeful at what you say BuffyGirl and if the pics next week are good then I will definitely, as I said, be tempted to pick this up as my first statue.

EDIT: Just to say, true about the Willow statue - she did usually not show so much leg lol.

 

[BuffBuff]

Faith looks good... glad they gave her a crossbow. Would have been disappointed if she didn't have one.

All I have to say is, don't be so sure she wouldn't. Just because we didn't 'see' Faith wear one in the show, doesn't mean it's not like her to do so. She slept around, partied a lot, etc. She wasn't a wholesome gal. So the type of outfit that she is depicted wearing in the statue seems very much like Faith, whether or not she is seen wearing it. And the comics continue the Buffy story and also that of Faith. And if she is drawn on the cover (from which this statue was taken) then that means she would wear it.

This Faith maquette looks fantastic! I may have to get this one!
