she actually looks good in the second pic but I don't want her to have the scythe!
She looks old like s7 Faith, but all this line of 12's are from season 3 which means the scythe should be nowhere near it

In fact I'd say you shouldn't! I think she looks really good in the full body pic. The face still isn't perfect in close-ups, but that shouldn't be a problem really unless you like to look at your figure closer than a foot or so away. |

Sorry, I'm still not too keen on this figure.
I know it's very hard to get a good likeness (particularly of young pretty women) but when you compare it to the other three, (particularly the Spike one which is superb) then it falls a bit flat.
I don't think I'll be buying this.

OOOO...I like. I want this, I want EVERYTHING. Why do I keep having to wait? The closest thing to anticipate now is Kill Bill Volume 2 and Buffy & Angel 12 inch figs. It's so UNFAIR!

I have a question.... What the hell is she wearing!?!? A vest! Why in god's name would they put the hotty vampire slayer who is obsessed with sex in a long sleeve cotton with black vest! She looks commando and I'm not feeling it.

Werewolf, the vest was worn by Faith in "Bad Girls" when she accidentally murdered that man. I suppose it was the chosen outfit because it is from an impirtant episode.

Plus, I think they like to hide the figure's articulation as much as they can. I would rather they have gone with Faith's outfit from Season 7 (denim jacket, etc) since she seems to have the Season 7 look... but like Alyrenee said, her clothes are relatively easily replaced with one of Barbie's outfits  |

Honestly, I'm even less impressed with the new pictures.

Her hair is really flat, and her face is spread far apart, they should seriously consider redoing that, and the clothes, give her a freaking denim jacket with a red shirt, that is the stupidest outfit ive seen on anything that is closely related to faith.

They probably added the scythe to boost sales for this cruddy figure

She looks like a guy from a rock band. They should have put the scythe with Buffy. I won't buy faith, her likeness is not even close.

I don't think I'll be buying this. The Spike and other figures are cool but they had the crutch of scanning which does all the work for you. The Buffy head is the same as the first figure released so they can reuse that. It just goes to show what happens when the sculptor relies on scanning rather than natural talent. Some of the customizers here are incredible, don't see why Sideshow could not get someone to do better. I can think of 4 or 5 posters in this forum who have done some amazing resulpts on existing figures and who could have done a better job. |

Any changes with this figure?
Are they still planning to make it with that head?
Sideshowgrant reads this forum, right? Any reply to the postings?

SideshowBrant said in one of the other threads that there would be no changes, and the figure was late in the development cycle, going into production soon. He also said he thinks it looks much better in person. That was the gist of it.
I think she's decent. I understand having quibbles with the likeness, but I don't see why some say she looks like a man... And the choice of the outfit is from a key Faith episode...maybe people would accept it more if they saw some screen caps to remind themselves how it looked on the show.
