Buffy: Xander Harris 12-inch Figure

Description

Alexander Lavell Harris, known as Xander to his friends, wsa the quintessential average high school guy - kind of geeky, always funny, but never part of the "in" crowd. Staying awake in biology class was enough of a daily challenge, much less confronting the fact that vampires and demons might actually exist. All that changed once Buffy Summers transferred to Sunnydale High and his world was never the same again. Together with his best friend Willow Rosenberg, they quickly discovered Buffy's secret life as The Slayer. Instead of running for the hills, the pair stuck by Buffy, forming her inner circle. Throughout high school and after, they fought by her side, battling the never-ending onslaught of vampires, demons and various evils that crept into town.

While Xander was initially smitten with Buffy, they never were romantic, but he did break plenty of hearts over the years. Willow, Cordelia Chase and Faith all partook in some quality Xander smoochies, but each of those relationships were fleeting. Xander's great love was the ex-vengeance demon, Anya Jenkins. Their relationship started awkwardly, but grew into a unique love affiar that eventually led to their engagement. In one of his lowest moments, Xander left Anya at the altar when he had doubts about their marriage. After a lot of pain and hurt, the couple eventually came to a place of forgiveness before Anya died bravely in battle.

Over the years, Xander matured from the goofy, direction-less friend to the grounded, responsible rock that Buffy could always turn to in good times and bad. While he never was much of a fighter, that never stopped Xander from jumping into the fray, helping research or just being there for his beloved friends. As the one member of the group without magical abilities or special powers, Xander often felt like the least important member of the team, but Buffy's sister Dawn reminded him that his power was "seeing, knowing," the never failing heart of the group. Even when he had to deal with terrible loss of his eye at the hands of the evil preacher Caleb, Xander got back up and stood shoulder to shoulder once more with Buffy and his friends in their final triumphant war against The First.
