Buffy the Vampire Slayer *Light-Up* Line

Buffy the Vampire Slayer *Light-Up* Line

Sasha (aka MsBigPileofDust) has taken the sculpts made by Moore Action Collectibles and Diamond Select Toys and reworked them to produce a range of exclusive *Light-Up* figuresfor Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Most of these feature Spike. He’s always on fire for one reason or another!

Light-Up-Shrouded Mage

In Season 3 of BtVS, the Mayor employs a powerful Mage to remove Angel’s soul, making him a vicious vampire again. The blue-skinned Mage does an impressive swirly light-show, as his own eyes glow orange.

Unfortunately for the Mayor and his henchman, Faith, it was all smoke and mirrors. It turns out that the Mage owed Rupert Giles a favour. Giles introduced him to his wife!

Light-Up Feature

The figure opens in the middle and has a torch pushed through the torso with the bulb in his head. The eyes light up.

Light-Up-Hobo-Spike

In Season 3 of BtVS, the vampire Spike stumbles back to Sunnydale on a bender. Drusilla has left him for a Chaos Demon. He blames Angel for turning her against him.

Spike passes out drunk in Angel’s garden, on top of a planter. He wakes up with his hand on fire, when the morning sun scorches it. He manages to douse the flames but his anger has been ignited.

Light-Up Feature

The base conceals a torch. The bulb slots into his wrist, lighting his hand and the flame.

Holding-Hands-on-Fire Buffy & Spike

By the finale of BtVS in Season 7, “Chosen”, a lot has changed. Spike has fallen in love with Buffy and realised he’ll never win her heart without winning his soul.

They are in the cavern of the Hellmouth, fighting an army of Uber-vampires. Spike is wearing an amulet which taps into his new soul and channels sunlight through the cavern, helping to defeat the army.

Things aren’t looking good for Spike, though. He’s trapped by the power of the amulet and sunlight isn’t good for a vampire. As his hand sets alight, Buffy clasps it to say goodbye.

Buffy (for the first time): “I love you”.

Spike: “No, you don’t, but thanks for saying it. Now go! I want to see how it ends”.

Light-Up Feature

Battery powered white fairy lights are hidden behind the stand. One light is pushed into the fiery hands, one through his chest to light the amulet, and one spot-lights his head.

Light-Up-Saving-the-World Spike

After Buffy escapes in the finale of BtVS, “Chosen”, Spike stays behind to make sure that the Hellmouth closes forever.

He laughs as the flames spring up all over his body, then howls as they engulf him. The Hellmouth implodes and the entire town of Sunnydale collapses into it. Buffy and her cohorts escape to the city limits just in time to avoid the crater.

Light-Up Feature

Battery powered red fairy lights are hidden behind the stand. Bulbs are pushed through into the orange resin figure at strategic places, then parts of the figure painted as flesh and burn.
