The 20 Most Essential Hours of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' to Celebrate 20 Years Of Slaying

With the twentieth anniversary of the premiere of Buffy the Vampire Slayer approaching next month, I felt compelled to compile a list of the most essential tales of the Slayer. I first wanted to choose the 20 best episodes, but I couldn't narrow down all seven seasons into just those few, so I expanded my list to 20 hours, which equated to 27 episodes. 

BtVS has meant so much to me, so it is with much joy and excitement that I reflect back on my favorite episodes.

Funko Custom: Slay-Ready Buffy

To change Buffy's staking arm position, I boiled a pot of water, turned off the heat, and held Buffy's body under the water for about a minute. When the vinyl softened, I just bent Buffy's arm in the position I wanted using a towel (the plastic is hot). I held the arm in that position until the plastic cooled, about a minute or two. Voila! Slay-ready Buffy!

Review: Funko Pop!: SDCC Battle Damaged Buffy Summers

I am SO thrilled to add this battle-damaged Buffy Pop! to my Funko collection!

I love how this Pop! really captures the essence of Buffy Summers. From her powerful and sassy stance, to her cross necklace and wooden stake, there is so much great attention to detail from the geniuses at Funko.

Available exclusively at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con, Buffy and a few other exclusives have made their way to Hot Topic, so be sure to check out your local store.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired for 7 seasons and is the greatest show ever (that's a fact ;) ha). The rest of the line, which includes Angel, Spike, Willow, Oz, and a Gentleman from "Hush," will hit stores in September, so it is extra-exciting to be able to get my hands on Buffy earlier!

Check out all the pics and let me know what you think

Sarah Michelle Gellar's back on TV!

"Boom! Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans may now officially start foaming at the mouth: Sarah Michelle Gellar is coming back to TV, and she's ready to kick some ass again. Vulture has learned that CBS just gave a pilot greenlight to Ringer, an hourlong thriller that will star the ex-Slayer as a troubled young lass on the run from the mob. She assumes the life of her wealthy twin sister, only to find out that said sibling has a bounty on her head as well. If we're understanding this right, SMG will actually get to play both roles, which could be all sorts of fun. Ringer is from Supernatural writers Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder; Gellar will serve as a co-executive producer on the project, which is being produced by ABC Television Studios and CBS Television Studios. It's Gellar's first TV show since Buffy left the air in 2003. She had been attached to an HBO project that didn't work out and has mostly been focusing on features in recent years."

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Figure Review

Possibly my all-time favorite show, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has spawned a multitude of licensed merchandise, and my favorite of those items are the action figures. Originally produced by Moore Action Collectibles, the line was cancelled and renewed by Diamond Select Toys; DST also revived the 'Buffy' figures by creating deluxe-style action figures that are super-poseable and have interchangeable parts. This line of deluxe figures began with the most popular Slayers in Sunnydale: Buffy & Faith. The six-figure first series was stunning and really renewed the interest in some classic 'Buffy' episodes for me. Me not being as big a fan of the 'Angel' spinoff series on TV, the second series of deluxe figures from that show featuring Angel & Spike didn't interest me as much, although I did get the Vampire Spike because you cannot deny how cool these deluxe figures are. Now in its third series (and possibly final :/ ), DST has finally produced my most-wanted character: Kendra the Vampire Slayer! With just a short stint on the show as Buffy Summers' "replacement" after she kinda died at the end of the first season at the hands of the Master, Kendra showed up in Sunnydale to pick up where Buffy left off - only Buffy was revived by Xander a few minutes after her short death, still keeping her Slayer powers yet activating the next Slayer. Kendra's real death was untimely and before the second season of the show was over, Drusilla had killed Kendra, thus calling the third Slayer, Faith, who got her figure in the first series. So, long story short, the Slayer trio is now complete!!! Enjoy these pictures of the Slayers in action, and check out Time & Space Toys, Cinequest, or your local comic book store for 'Buffy' action figures.
