Sideshow BUFFY the VAMPIRE SLAYER Premium Format PROTOTYPE - one of a kind

Description

This is a one of a kind prototype of the Sideshow Premium Format Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This is the prototype that was created to sell the figure.  All the photos that Sideshow and retailers used to sell this figure were taken of this exact statue.  This is the piece that you would have seen at San Diego Comic Con back in 2008.
It's not an Artist's Proof, but the actual, real final prototype.  It is one of a kind, hand made and hand painted by a Sideshow artisan, not a factory worker.
Since it is a prototype it is made of resin, NOT polystone and this makes it much lighter than you would expect from a polystone statue.  You can see the resin in the final picture showing the bottom of the base. There are some paint rubs on the base (see pics), the figure is perfect.  The figure's foot pegs are a little loose in the base holes - this is normal for a prototype.
There are a few differences between this piece and the final production figure.  Notice the "Buffy" logo is a different color than the final production statue.  Also the breasts were reduced on the production figure at the request of the licensor.  The hair is slightly different - it turns up at the ends more than the hair on the production piece. The base is also slightly taller than the production version.
Since this is a prototype there is no art box or shipper.  I will pack it extremely carefully when shipping.  Or if you're in the Los Angeles area we can do local pick-up.
If you need more assurances that this is what I say it is, please message me and I can tell you more about how I got this one-of-a-kind piece.  More photos on request.  I also have the prototype for the Spike premium format.
I have images comparing the prototype with the production figure - message me if you want to see them.
