Something about her reminds me of Roz Doyle from Frasier. I don't care for that outfit at all. I do think she looks like a girl though!

I'm not a collector of the 12 inch figures, not for any particular reason, but man...this one is one of the worst. Not a great resemblance. She looks like a man.

...Im dissapointed... Spike and Faith are two of my favorite characters, I was gonna get them and Buffy 1(cheaper lol) but now Im not so sure...I may only be getting Spike and Buffy. Problems, Her eyes are too small, herlips arent full enough(not so pointy-round at the bottom), Her hair isnt full enough, AND I agree with karen, the slightly smaller image on the actual page looks more like Faith, its face isnt so round and wide(chubby kinda). HOPEFULLY the bigger image is stretched. Anyway, I may just get my own faith made by...nevermind...

I think that's what's throwing off the likeness to me.... her hair isn't full enough. It almost looks like she was out in the rain. I will wait to see better pics... but I think I'll be getting her anyways.

I think the hair is taken from Faith's appearrances in season seven. her hair was much less poofy and more slick and streamlined.
I don't hate the likeness...but I don't love it. I could repaint her to look more like Eliza though...

I Don't see the issue! they've obv just attempted to recreate a famous pose with the pic and failed - however, I think the hair is the issue, it's otherwise fine IMHO. However I *demand* a new Faith 6" with a scan as the other one looks like an angry man in drag

I remember that Sideshow said they were trying to make the female figures in such a way that allowed more movement of their head. Like Faith, who has long hair... I guess they just had to give her a certain hairstyle so that her head can move around more.
Also, what do you think the "exclusive accessory" for Faith will be? It seems that she's only coming with a crossbow. I think the exclusive accessory will be her knife, or maybe the box of Gavrox (?), that thing that had all the spider creatures (Season 3).

I got that at first but then realised if it was Season 7 then the hair should be lighter, lips should be lighter, and she shouldnt have eyeshadow. When I made my Chosen Faith I lightened all that stuff, so did flobbo. And from what I can see it looks like Eliza, btu the angle doesnt!
I will get this anyway probably, I can always repsint parts of the head. I have one more problem though, her outfit. I dotn like the long sleeve and vest thing. Im gonna buy a Barbie tank top and I tihnk I may have a denim jacket, if not Ill get one! I think this figure has serious ptential to be as good as the other Sideshow BTVS figures!

This figure does not look like the actress who plays Faith. I'm no figure expert and don't want to buy a figure I would have to fix up. Most of us are not talented like many of the folks here. I really wanted a cool faith 12" figure like the picture but this one is not it. Maybe they will change it now? It's too boring.

ok, for me to spend $40.00 on a figure, it better be pretty frickin' SPECTACULAR. this just looks "blah" to me. I'm glad I passed on the other Sideshows so I don't feel compelled to complete the set.

After seeing this pic, and comparing it to the one of the Faith figure holding the scythe... I just can't justify spending the $40 anymore. I would really like to get her... but I don't know... And Buffy should have come with that scythe... ah well

You're right, Buffy should come with the scythe.
I think Sideshow is trying to steal a little of MAC's thunder here.
The Scythe belongs with Buffy, Faith held it for as long as Rona did. Doesn't seem right.
They should offer it seperately so buyers can get the axe without paying for Faith.
