This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Watcher's Guide Box Set of 3 Action Figures (Rupert Giles, Wesley Wyndham-Price & Spike as Randy Giles) (Toy)

I'm not a toy person. I walked into SUNCOAST to buy DVDs with a gift card, but when I saw my three favorite male characters from the Buffyverse in this attractive boxed set, how could I resist? Both Suncoast and Amazon sell this set for a very reasonable $44.

Giles (as he appears in the Buffy episode ) is a good likeness, but doesn't look as much like himself as the other figures do. Spike (as he appears in the Buffy episode "Tabula Rasa") is a perfect likeness, and comes with a little 'Randy Giles' hat--think Kyle from South Park. Wesley (as he appears in the Angel episode "The Shroud of Rahmon") looks the most like himself. All three figures convey the physical appearance and the personality of their respective characters.

A few minor problems: Their is a pair of glasses that come with the set, presumably meant for Giles. They are too big for Wesley and Spike, so when I put them on Giles, they were a tight fit. Apparently too tight, because when I picked up the figure, the glasses shot off into space--never to be seen again until I step on them with a bare foot. I also noticed that the figures are all looking downwards, but that's not that big of a problem.

The verdict? A very, very good buy.
