My nice, quiet, easy week ended up being... not. And nothing I had planned to get done has gotten done, and I am so, so, so tired. So tired. But like everyone has already said, yay for the new icon space. I celebrated by changing my default icon for the first time ever- not a big deal for most people, probably, but a very big deal for me. My new default, like the icon on this post, is a picture of Shelley from the comic Scary Go Round, and it was made by cmshaw. Shelley and I both have red hair, green eyes and glasses, and if you want to assume I'm as cute and animated-looking as she is, I'm sure as heck not going to stop you. Heh.

Now all I need are the skills to make Joan of Arcadia icons. Well, that, and about twenty years' sleep.


And while I'm here and still conscious- A couple more pics of the Willow action figures (slightly bigger and easier to see), including one of "Good Witch Willow" (from "Chosen"), the MAC members' exclusive. I love the body sculpt and paint on that one (the head is just the same as Dark/Transformation Willow, looks like). So yay for all the Willowy goodness, but I'd love to know when, if ever, we're going to see the Tara or Anya figs, or any of Angel Series 2. I won't hold my breath, I think.

Nifty new icon! Actually, make that nifty new icons. Glad to see you yielded to the temptation of the 50 icon offer :)

I, too, have the urge to make tons and tons of icons, but lack sufficient time to sleep.

Cool Willow figs. Just curious, do they have Xander? I'm sure they must have a Spike figure somewhere. A Wesley would be nice, too...

Yup, they actually had two Xander action figures, a regular one (http://www.mooreaction.com/Buffy3/Xander.html) and an "Army Guy" variant (http://www.mooreaction.com/Buffy3/mxander.html). They're pretty hard to get now, but they can be found on Ebay and maybe online someplace, I'm not sure. There was a Spike figure too, human face (http://www.mooreaction.com/Buffy2/Spike.html) and vampire (http://www.mooreaction.com/Buffy2/VampSpike.html) (sorry for the lousy pics), both limited editions and hard to find (and really expensive) now. When they first came out, I got myself both Xanders and a Human Spike, and a Xander and Spike for Dearest Friend B., who's also a S/Xer, for Christmas. And I've been kicking myself for not getting more Spikes ever since, though if I hadn't preordered mine, I might not have gotten even them. Seems silly to do Spike as a limited edition, really. Wesley is supposed to be in the Angel Series 2 line (it's a pretty bad sculpt (http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=63&show_article=191), but still, it's Wesley and he's my fave), along with Darla and Lorne, but I don't know if they'll ever be released. Moore has been teasing us with them for two years. My Angel fig is getting pretty annoyed.

Ah, thanks! I knew you'd have any and all info :) Somehow, they don't look quite like Xander, but they're not bad. I like the human Spike one, too. Limited editions are silly, silly things.

Ugh, that's supposed to be Wesley? It doesn't look a thing like him!

The Xanders are slightly better in real life than they are in the pics, but yeah, they're slightly off-kilter. Human Spike is really well done, though. Although mine's ever so slightly cross-eyed. Oh well, nobody's perfect. *g* And ITA about the Wesley fig. Wrong, wrong, wrong. But even a wrong Wesley is better than no Wesley. Not that I play favorites. Nope. La la la.
