I really like the look of this Buffy, and I feel the depiction of her here is very iconic, with the red pants and hunga munga. It does, however, fall short of the label "action" figure. While it has generous articulation (something that MAC was exceptional in providing) the pose this figure is sculpted in is a bit awkward and therefore can't make full use of it. She can't really be posed to look as if she's kicking and Buffy being the Slayer and all, I would have expected any action figure of her to do as much. Despite her legs being a bit awkward, she can stand of her own accord quite well, but you do have to labour a bit to find one of those good standing poses. Aside from the lack of leg-posing as it were, this is one of my favourite figures of Buffy herself. The likeness to Sarah Michelle Gellar is good and her outfit and accessories are distinctly Buffy.
While not 100% accurate, this figure is obviously based on her look in Season 3, her outfit right from "Graduation Day Part 1". Her weapons are all from this era as well - the hunga munga coming from the Season 3 opener "Anne" and made famous in the opening credits from Seasons 3 to 5 as it appears in the last "Buffy Power Shot" during which Joss Whedon is credited as the creator of the show. Her hair is long and unlike the Series 1 Buffy figure, it is very blonde, which also contributes to the over all Buffyness of the figure. Buffy fits in with the other figures in the series and the figures that came before, making it a great addition to collections. One of the great things about MAC was that it kept all the figures looking as if they belonged together - they were all proportional size wise, and the style and articulation of the figures matched. Overall I'd say this is another very good figure from MAC.
