Muy buen.
Did you get a chance to check out the Electric Tiki site? Like I was telling you before, I love their stuff. I own about 4 maquettes (2 Mighty Mouses, Casper the Ghost and Lassie). I believe they just got a license to do Disney stuff, that should be sweet.
Here's the link: http://www.electrictiki.com/
Oh yeah, yrs ago they did a Asia Carrera maquette. Looks HOT !! Own that one too.

Wow.. yeah... those are pretty cool statues. I LOVE the maquette style, and it'd be a fun way to get her into collecting statues, I think.
The organization of their website is utter craziness, though... I don't know what pieces are available now, and which are available for pre-order etc. (Granted, I only spent a couple minutes checking it out, though).
Clicking the pre-order button lists a lot of properties, but none related to Buffy. I'll figure it out when I have time to, I guess.
They also carry a second, Sideshow Collectibles "true-to-life" statue collection of Buffy characters.. I'll have to gauge which I think she'd like more (I myself enjoy maquettes for this sort of thing).
Thanks, Dan! Getting her a few of these for her Christmas "haul", for sure.

You won't be disappointed. They are now distributed by "Sideshow", so you can view and order through them.

I love Electric Tiki! I'm a big fan of their 'Tooned-Up' line. In my collection are:
Buffy
Samantha Stevens
Serena
Jeannie
Jeannie II
Marilyn Munster
Eddie Munster
Electra Woman
Dyna Girl
Edit: I would kill to find the Lily Munster statue. It's the only Tooned-Up lady I'm missing.
And Dan's right. The Buffy line is being released by Sideshow, so you should look there. And the Willow and Glory statues are fantastic-looking!

Don't mind Steve, he uses his billy club as a walking stick, poor guy's so elderly.
Actually, we're all old married men in here..

I guess I am an old married man...I never think of myself as such. But Jim and I certainly qualify as a married couple.
And I am officially jealous! Steve never flirts with me so hard!

Hey Doug.
Don't worry. I'm sure he'll make his way to you.

Hey Doug, any other piece's you waiting for from Tiki..? I'm wondering what they're going to be doing from Disney..........the one that I collect the most is "Jessica Rabbit". I already own three of them, 2 from the collection series and one Armani.

I'd love to find the Ralph Hinkley statue, if it actually exists. But other than the Buffy statues, there's not a lot of others that I'm interested in.
I'm surprised that this line isn't more popular. I also collect the GG Star Wars animaquettes, but only the First Trilogy ones. (I need an Obi-Wan, and they need to reissue Luke in his moisture farm outfit, with a better 3PO than they've issued.)
