Chipmunk Robot on Ice
We have only one big bad from Buffy made into a 12 inch figure, The Master. If another one were to be released, which one would you like?
I'm not counting Spike & Dru (that were also made into figures) because they went from appearing as the potential big bads of season 2 to recurrent roles in the show. We also have Angelus made, so that one also stays out of the possibilities.
I made a list of pros and cons based on personal observations and factors that would make the figure a possibility or not (yes, it's a boring Sunday for me).
Mayor Wilkins:
Pro: He was one of the most charismatic characters in the third season. Sarcastic, funny, sick and twisted. His relationship with Faith is great.
Con: We don't have a good looking Faith to be displayed with the Mayor, plus, it'd maybe make a boring figure even though the character is great.
Adam:
Pro: He would make a fantastic looking figure.
Con: Personally, I think he wasn't really good as a season big bad. Plus, the fact that SSC would have to sculpt his whole body is the factor that tips the balance to the "no".
Maggie Walsh:
Pro: She could be counted as season 4 real evil.
Con: Big bads in season 4 were not as great as in other seasons. Maggie Walsh is no exception. At least to me.
Glory:
Pro: She is probably one of the most beloved evil ones in the whole Buffy-verse, a fan-favourite stylish goddess who kicked ass big time.
Con: Her most infamous look is her in her red dress. That'd mean joints exposed or having to choose another outfit that wouldn't represent the character accurately.
The Trio:
Pro: They were funny and original as evil-wannabes. Besides, the three of them were to some degree important recurrent characters in Buffy (especially Andrew and Jonathan).
Con: There's not a chance SSC would make a three-pack for these characters. But one can dream...
Dark Willow:
Pro: There is an extreme need of a new 12 inch Willow (we all know why). A Dark Witch Willow would be a great chance to have a new human Willow sculpt.
Con: Will we really see a new Willow if the old "Matt Damon" one doesn't sell out? I hope so.
Ubervamp:
Pro: Actually, this wasn't a big bad at all, but since The First didn't have a corporeal representation (except for the bodies of those who died) I decided to include it. It was a great looking monster and would make a great looking figure.
Con: The same as Adam, they would have to sculpt the whole thing.
Caleb:
Pro: As it is the case of the Ubervamp, Caleb is not a season big bad, however he was the last great bad Buffy had to face before the final battle in the Hellmouth. The great looks of Nathan Fillion and the priest outfit would definitely make an awesome figure. Besides... "Firefly" customizers could kitbash him and make our long-anticipated Mal Reynolds.
Con: He was only in the show for like 4 or 5 episodes.
For me, it was hard to choose between Caleb and Glory. I finally picked Glory. She would be a best-seller! Anyway, I think I'd buy any of them if they were made
I'm a sucker for polls, sorry
