Ever wanted to own your very own Willow Rosenberg? And what Willow would that be: the goody-goody cute redhead Wiccan or the raven-haired evil Willow that practiced dark magicks? Or, better yet, how about owning the vampire Willow we saw from that parallel universe episode in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER? Well, come next April you’ll have your chance to decide.

Next spring Diamond Select Toys and Moore Action Collectibles are teaming up to resurrect the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER toy line by releasing four different versions of the Slayer’s favorite gal pal, Willow. The four Willows to be released are: Dark Witch Willow, Vampire Willow, Transformation Willow (half good, half evil, twice the fun) and the everyday regular Willow that the Scoobys knew and loved from Season Five of the show.

What’s cool today is the fact that Diamond Select Toys has provided Cinescape with exclusive details about the action figures as well as images of all four Willows. We aim to please.

The Transformation Willow is a limited edition chase figure that will be packed two per case of eight figures of Season Five Willow. In addition to these two, there will be two exclusive figures: Vampire Willow (seen in the episode "The Wish") which will be only available through ToyFare magazine; and Dark Witch Willow, with dark hair and an all black outfit, which is a Cinequest.com exclusive.

DST will release pricing information at a later date but if you really have to start saving your pennies now to afford them all, we auger that the figures should retail for between $15 to $20 dollars.
