Mel Brooks was right. Merchandising is where the real money comes in.

Amber Benson, who played Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer financed a movie she wrote, produced, and directed with proceeds from the sales of limited edition Tara action figures. And it wasn't "hey, I made a lot of money from those action figures, I think I'll make a movie!" No it was, "I want to make a movie so I'll commission a new action figure and sell them to do it!"

The words "insane" and "genius" come to mind.

Beloved characters just aren't safe in the hands of Joss Whedon. Never get too attached to anyone when he's running the show.
