The likeness on this is fantastic....I knew it'd be Scooby Squad Willow but part of me was hoping for this:
I liked The Mike's suggestion on Page 1. Willow in some witch-related pose would have satisfied demand for a more dynamic/edgy piece, while still allowing a fully faithful representation.
Of the actual Buffy fans who preordered this Willow, would you have passed if she WASN'T sexied up, but was in a character-true outfit with a character-true pose?
Exactly. I'm guessing the only self-identified buyer here that would not buy a character-true Willow would be Blackthornone. He explicitly said he was buying the statue despite having never watched an episode of Buffy. *shudder* Poor statue.
Just to be clear, even if we disagree on this statue, I do respect that basically everyone else on this thread is a sincere fans of the show.
... if they were trying to cash in on the sexually frustrated fanboy market the statue would have been her kissing Tara...
Actually while I realise they could make two women kissing very male-oriented *ugh*, once again a character/show-accurate piece would have appealed more broadly. Since women tend to be a LOT less OMG TEH GHEY than guys in general, I see very few straight female Buffy fans being offended or turned off by such a theme.
Edit: I would be surprised in general if any Buffy fan were homophobic.
