Jessica Rabbit Premium Format sneak peek

Here’s a classic statue that I wanted for quite a while, the Sideshow Collectibles Buffy the Vampire Slayer Premium Format statue. There were two versions of this, the one you’re seeing here and one with leather pants. I think that look is a little more iconic but both have that Buffy feel going for them.

You can tell this is one of the earlier Premium Format statues because it has a certain simplicity to it. In most cases that’s a negative, but I think for Buffy it works just fine. Although her hair could be improved, you can tell that has a strange look to it. They did a great job on her likeness however, while it’s visible in pictures, it’s far more easily seen in person. I found this with the Buffy throne maquette as well, which doesn’t hit the likeness as nicely as this one did.

The paint is fine but kind of flat in some areas. It could use some minor cosmetic improvements here and there, same with the hair. The highlights and the shading on the hair seem a little random. I’m a little disappointed in the material but not surprised due to the older nature of the statue. It feels a little cheap and totally wrong for the kind of dress it is. It’s partially transparent when there isn’t anything behind it (between the legs) which would be cool if it were intended, but it’s not, it’s due to how thin the material is.

The exclusive was the Vampyr book. A simple exclusive but it looks nice. Shame there isn’t a better way to display it with the statue.

4/5. Overall a nice statue that’s held up pretty well, far better than most classic Premium Format statues. While the Buffy on throne statue is quite nice, this one gets the nod from me.

I’m against recasting, after all, there’s a Recast Alert section on the site. With that out of the way, these things are utterly hilarious. I’m as much of a fan of naked lady statues as anyone else and I’m sure I’ll have a few in my collection at some point, but these take it up a notch.

Who even buys these? You can already take the Sideshow Premium Format Buffy and strip her naked if you want, it’s all cloth. It’s as if someone did that and thought, you know what Buffy needs? GIANT HOOTS. At least with the non-cloth ones it makes slightly more sense to cast them naked. Not so much the outrageously sized boobs but hey. I think you’ll also love how utterly scary some of them look in the face department. Eek.

I’m not going to help the site’s google rank by directly linking them, so enjoy the pictures beneath the cut. If you want to see all of them, look at the watermark.

Oh, those bikini parts are removable, so yet another entry that’s not entirely work safe.
