After the ladies got their turn in Women of Sunnydale, it’s guy time. 2005 Inkworks Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Men of Sunnydale takes a similar character-based approach with a compliment of autographs, costume cards and other inserts.
The majority of the 81-card base set has nine-card sections for key male characters in the show: Xander, Giles, Angel, Spike, Oz and Riley. There’s also Good Guys and Bad Guys subsets for some of the notable recurring characters.
The autograph checklist includes ten different signers. Leading them is Nicholas Brendon who starred as Xander Harris. An eleventh card is the franchise’s lone triple autograph. It features the Evil Trio: Tom Lenk, Adam Busch and Danny Strong. Autographs are inserted one per box.
Inserted at the same rate are Pieceworks costume cards. Although the set has five cards on the checklist, there are actually six. DB Woodside, who played Principal Robin Wood, has shirt and tie versions.
Dressed to Kill is a nine-card foil puzzle that uses the pun as an excuse to make a collage of the show’s leading men. The six-card Women Men Adore is the only place in the set where female characters are the focus.
