A few moments ago HBO announced the coming arrival of True Blood figural busts. They highly detailed replicas of the characters.

I doubt Bill’s face would look that good on the real thing – but if it did I would buy it in a heartbeat. Thumbs are wrong, and ‘not a pen’ is on the wrong side ;)

I LOVE the Anders one… but WHERE IS SAM ? Third billing and he’s left off first round production? (tsk , tsk)
[Reply]
They look very good … probably not affordable by me. Yes, where is our Sam? He should be one of the first ones. Hmmm … I have a summer birthday. Maybe I can work something out.

hmm, interesting…they look great though, if not a bit “buffed” up a bit….especially Anders…..I agree, where is Sam!
[Reply]
That is what I was thinking, Anders looks a bit inflated. Shame on them for omitting Sam. They almost look like bobble dolls as if you press up thru the base bottom their heads will bobble. :-)

Why don’t they have feet? I don’t like the way they are cut off
[Reply]
They look like great pieces, though I’d prefer something a bit more functional. Like, a life-size Bill doll. That I could put to good use. :)
I agree with barbara, the lack of legs/feet is a bit jarring. But if they actually look that true-to-life (for the most part), then well done.

ONLY a full size Bill would sell and I mean many.
I would DEFINITELY put one on my couch at any price.
Why not make normal size action figures with moving arms and legs and when you ssqueeze the head red juice comes out of its mouth??????
Can’t be hard HBO.
No one wants an amputee bust, How dumb is that?
Maybe a full size and anotomically correct. Ha Ha.
Wish I were at Comicon.

Hideous … consumerism at its worst.
At least Alexander would have intelligence to hate this.

I saw these at the HBO Store in NYC last Month. They were not flattering at all.
