This month's custom challenge at the BtVS Figs Forum is "Where Are They Now?", where you make a figure from Buffy post-Chosen. I decided to do Andrew from The Nyazian Prophecies... Specifically, from 2x04: Fissures when he's dressed in his Spider-Man costume.
And a close-up on the base:
The base is supposed to be of the comic shop. I made it from Fred's wall. I painted it and created shelving from a CD jewel case, cutting it to fit and then gluing it onto the base. They're decorated with Star Wars micromachines figures, which I thought made good statues for the shop. There are also three framed pictures: Connor and Salome, the main cast of Jamie, Salome, Connor, Andrew and Oni, and one of Jamie and Andrew. The posters are all computer printouts and are things I thought Andrew or Jamie would like. The X-Men poster and Battle Royale poster are in-jokes, since Anna Paquin and Kou Shibasaki were in them. The shoplifting sign is a tribute to "Clerks".
Andrew's accessories are a whiteboard, which give a short synopsis of the trouble befalling the characters in the ep. There is also a small heart on the whiteboard which has C.A. + S.S. on it, since this is where Connor and Salome start to reconcile. Andrew also has a book on portals, three comic books (including Astonishing X-Men) and a notebook with pictures of Connor fighting a vampire in it. The knife in his hand is one he gives to Jamie for protection in this episode.
