It's like you described. His mouth meets the microphone and makes it look like he is looking at the audience.

It actually happened to everyone that ordered from Time and Space Toys. "Waiting in the Wings" Wes, "Parting Gifts" Wes and "End of Days" Buffy will all ship at a later date, when they have them in stock. It's not costing us any extra for shipping. They have to wait until those figures are shipped to them in order to ship them to us.

Still waitingfor my 4 Deluxe figures, and the other 4 Wesleys... I have a package arriving tomorrow, but of course TS&T never actually lets you know what they shipped.

Got all the Lornes & Wesleys today. I am very HAPPY . They are going to be staying in the blister cards for the time being, but here are my first impressions: Wesley - the likeness to Alexis is spot on. With the 5 different versions they really have captured the different stages of Wes throughout Buffy & Angel well. Clean shaven Bad Girls & WITW are very handsome. His face is superb. I like the accessories too, hard to pick the best but I'd have to go with WITW for 2 reasons - The weapns cabinet (the class doors look fab) and because I loved that episode soooo much. Now we need a WITW Fred to go with him. Of the Angel stubble Wesleys, Parting Gifts is good, but is very black overall. ROF Wes is very striking with his blue shirt and guns. But Season 4 is my fav - just love everything about him. Now to Lorne - well what can I say? I always loved the character and DST have produced smashing figures of him. My favourite has to be THAW. It is so bright, the martini glass is neat and the paint work on his face is very detailed. I may well keep him in the packaging as I can see some glitter has escaped of his jacket and read on this board it has a tendency to fall off. Judgement Lorne captures the scene, and he is very green. 'Nuff said. TNPLG has a petrified look on his face - quite fitting for the decapititation. Again it fits the scene so well - the basket and silver tray are cool accessories. In summary, the thing that struck me overall was the quality and likeness to the characters/actors. Wes is perfect in all his carnations. If people are only going for one figure though I wouldn't choose Parting Gifts Wes. There is nothing wrong with him, in fact he is great. But in comparison to the other variants, he is VERY black, and lacking some of the sparkle of the others. Of the three Lorne's - all superb. I would have liked a Lorne in disguise, but DST have still captured the different major Lorne episodes so I'm happy. It also looks like they have some sort of leaflet in the blisters. TNPLG Lorne and Wes with weapons cabinets are pretty heavy. I can't wait to get that cabinet out of the packaging. I like the way the figures are packaged in various different poses, so if they were unopened and displayed like that they would look very nice. I think this wave is better in quality and style to the Darla wave, and I am sure Angel/Fred wave will be of equally high quality. Although a little sceptical initially I am glad I pre ordered all 8 and can't wait till September. All I can say is Wow DST - you well and truley have hit the nail on the head with this wave. I love them all and the cheaper prive point for Wesley was an added bonus and very pleasant surprise

Three of my Wesley/Lorne figures arrived from Forbidden Planet today (the rest are coming from elsewhere!). I have got to say I am really pleased with them and like them more than I thought I would! "House Always Wins" Lorne is great. DST have captured the glitz of Vegas really well. Lorne does not look so bulky as he did in the pics we had either, so that's a plus. I love "Rain of Fire" Wesley, I think its Wes' manly stubble! I cannot wait for the rest to arrive! Heads up to all FP buyers though, in the new catalogue the price of the Wesley figures has been dropped to £9.99 and I think regular Lorne was too. Has anyone had their pre-order price corrected? Mine hasn't been.

The Lornes are still £14.99 in the catalogue. And no, my price wasn't changed either. 3 of mine came today also.. NPLPG Lorne, THAW Lorne & ROF Wes. I agree with Vicks, I like them a lot more than I thought I would. The likenesses are brilliant, as are the accessories.

Mine hasn't been. Does this apply to the Wesley and Lorne's in the shop itself? If so, then I'll be buying the whole line!

YAY, my sesaon 4 Wes and NPLPG Lorne arrived this morning and I love them. The only problem I have is with the weapons cabinet, the hooks are way too low and delocate so I cant get much in the way of weapons in there at the moment. Loving em anyway!

You can get the product numbers off the website along with the telephone number to order them that way!

Ohhh, I'm so frustrated. ;D I pre-ordered these in June. I haven't heard from TST yet. Weirdly, I finally got my Deluxe Buffys yesterday, even though I pre-ordered them AFTER I pre-ordered the Wes and Lorne figs. I guess it'a about availability and being behind on the shipments. I'm glad I picked up NPLPG Lorne, PG Wes, and S4 Wes at SDCC. Still, I want them all! I'm so jealous of everyone. Delayed gratification is not my strongsuit.

Girl Power-T&S is shipping everything this week (most have shipped already) they told me that because of the volume of orders they are getting out some packages were seperated when they were getting picked up so you may get 1 box today and your next Thurs. I got my Wes & Lorne case yesterday but no dlxe's yet-but they said anyday now (for everyone-depending on where you live)

Interesting.......I was just looking at the books that NPLPG Lorne comes with and instead of the Wolf, Ram & Hart I have Ram, Hart & Hart. Perculiar!

I got my "Parting Gifts" Rogue Wes today. I like him a lot, I like the texture of the Jacket. All I need now is my "Waiting in the Wings" Wes and "House Always Wins" Lorne, as soon as he is available I"ll be buying him.

When i came home from work yesterday i was thrilled to discover my 2 THAW Lornes had arrived from FP! The glitter on his jacket is a nice touch & the paint jobs appear to be flawless. Now just waiting for Season 4 Wes & TNPLPG Lorne to arrive from SciFiGenre.com...
