Funko Pop Giles | Buffy The Vampire Slayer figures

Giles (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

Giles at the beginning of the series

For this first figurine of the phlegmatic English observer, Funko decided to represent him in a typical outfit from the beginning of the series, probably inspired by the first promo pictures. He wears an elegant three-piece suit with blue pants and a matching tie as well as a gray jacket, a matching jacket and black shoes. At the level of the head, we find his light brown hair with a small wick exceeding on the top of the forehead. His forehead and his eyes are marked with some wrinkles and he wears big glasses with brown frames. Finally, he holds in his left hand a big golden cross that he brandishes forward as if to protect himself from a vampire.

The Observer

Giles is one of the main characters of the cult series Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Buffy Summers, a young California high school student, is the slayer, the latest in a line of young women chosen to fight vampires, demons and dark forces and endowed with uncommon strength and agility. When she arrives in Sunnydale after the discovery of her gift gets her into trouble, she thinks she’s in the clear, but it turns out that her watcher is none other than Rupert Giles, the school librarian. The watchers are a secret society almost as old as the slayers themselves. They are there to observe, advise, guide and record the lives of the Slayers, which are often very short. They are supposed to keep a certain distance from their slayer, but Buffy doesn’t do anything like the others, revealing her secret to her new friends and not hesitating to ask for their help. Her relationship with Giles is also different from what it should be. He becomes very close to Buffy, treating her a bit like the daughter he never had.
