This is one of my Buffy figures that I do quite like, purely for the fun factor really. She came about through a combination of random factors. It was in the early days of the good old SciFi Warehouse/ Forbidden Planet catalogues, so orderring from them was still something of a novelty, and I found this Lara figure in the sale with a very cool rooftop base which has been utilised many times over the years, especially when I still kinda played with all my Batman figures. (By "play" at this stage I more or less mean setting them up in cool scenes all round the room.) So I orderred this figure, leaving me with the Lara. I was still quite new to customizing at the time as well, so it was all great fun.
This was before the concept of the Buffy animated series had really taken form...Joss had mentioned in a few interviews it was something he'd love to do, and I thought it was a great idea. Left with this animated looking figure, I decided, why not? So here we have animated Faith...basically a straight repaint of Lara Croft, but I returned to her later and sculpted the collar just to give her a bit of details. I printed the tattoo out from the internet and stuck it on her her, it worked well enough for me at the time.
Overall, she's not a brilliant figure, but she remiands me of the fun I had, which is what its all about really, so I like her! |
