Found my Buffy figures! The Master seems to be missing, which…eh. Oddly, I still have his candelabras. Hm. I had forgotten how much the female figures blow, though. The facial sculpts aren’t too bad, but the hair sculpts are, and the bodies, particularly on the Cordelias, are thick trunked and skeletal-limbed. And poor Regular Cordy, her hair mold causes her to be gazing permanently at her own breasts. (If she actually had Charisma Carpenter’s figure, I wouldn’t blame her, but sadly this is not the case.)

I had planned on displaying at least some of them, but right now I’m not sure. Spike is currently defying gravity/his coat, but he always falls over eventually, and the shelf with space for them is too far from the lights to really show them off properly.

I dunno. Might just wrap ’em back up and shove ’em back in the box. Except for Angel, who yes, it turns out I do have. He has a bum arm that I’d forgotten about: the joint peg and the lower arm don’t connect right, so that the peg sticks up out of the elbow, making the joint loose and the lower arm prone to coming off. Of course, once the lower arm is off, the peg can be pushed down so its flush to the outer/upper bit, but once you try and put the lower arm back on, the peg gets pushed out of place again. I’m torn between just gluing it all together with the peg sticking out permanently, or removing the peg altogether, gluing the arm together, and filling the hole.

Or I could try one of my small metal pins and clap it with some clay. That might leave the arm able to move. Personally, I don’t care if his arm moves or not, the fingers are splayed in such a way that it looks weird no matter how you pose the arm, but if I ever decided to sell him, a movable arm would probably go over better.

For now, though, he’s gonna just sit–well, stand, really–in Sideshow Cordy’s lap and be her snuggle monkey. Its a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
