Tooned Glorificus

Yet another tooned maquette from one of my all-time favorite tv series, BUFFY! This time, it is Glorificus. How am I ever going to be able to truly review these statues? I think that some of my reviews for this series may end up a tad bit biased.

Sculpted by: Elliot Sumons
Type: Statues
Statue: 8"
Release Date: May 27, 2009
Limited Size: 500
Price: $89.99
On-Sale Here: $71.99

Zimm's Two Cents:
Points in Favor

  • It is another edition to an ever growing collection of Buffy statues.
  • I actually like these tooned out versions.
  • Colors are nice and bright.
  • Sculpting is clean. Points to Elliot Sumons.
Points Against:
  • I think that I would have preferred some other characters before this one.
Recommendation: If you are a Buffy Fan, like myself - BUY! I may still start this Buffy collection.

Oh yeah - this reminded me. I need to pick up the most recent Buffy Graphic Novel.

Robert's Two Cents:
Points in Favor

  • Good design and sculpt.
  • Good price point.
  • The tooned versions of many characters turn out pretty well. I've been watching the Firefly/Serenity series of comiquettes.
Points Against:
  • I'm not really a Buffy fan.
  • I don't even know who Glorificus is.
Recommendation: If you are a Buffy fan, like Zimm - BUY! If not, there's nothing to draw you to these. If you're not a Buffy fan, you're not going to see this in the store and be pulled over to it to just stare, like people who walk into one of the Marvel stores at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. So, I'm going to call it neutral.

I do own the first Buffy Season 8, but still haven't read it. I just looked at the pictures. The Fray trade I really, really liked. Same with the Tales of the Vampires.
