I think I'm in the camp with mixed feelings. I love how they look and they're so much fun, but I'm a bit of a scale Nazi. If I get them all I might try some mods to alter the heights. What say you?

Considering DST's scale issues with the regular releases, I find the issues with the deluxe releases to be very minor.
So, don't have a problem with them. Would be great if Spike could be shorter than Angel, but doesn't worry me too much. Issues like the sculpting on the non-jacketed arms for Spike bother me much more because they are so visually wrong for the character.
I find my deluxe Buffy and Faith work well with the regular figures I have and expect the same from deluxe Spike and Angel.
Cheers,
Haeph.

I LOVE them. When DST pays too much attention to scale, problems happen. I would rather have Angel and Spike being the same height than have the ridiculous difference than the regular Spike and Angel figures from the other DST lines.
Same with the girls...I would personally rather have deluxe Buffy and Dawn figures around the same height than Dawn towering over Buffy. Even though MT is taller than SMG, I just dont like the idea of a Dawn figure being larger than Buffy and Willow. The same height I can deal with. Thats just me.

I'm not a big fan of the Deluxe figures, but I buy them based how good the head sculpt is. The size of the figures doesn't bother me.

I don't mind it. It gives more chance to get more figures with similar bodies. Like with the Angel/Spike line we could easily get Xander, Giles, Riley, Gunn and so on, and same goes with the girl bodies... Though next time around more detail in paint would be nice *cough*

It won't be a problem if you display them far one to each other, and also since they have full articulation, you can smaller one with a pose.

I don't mind it, but the body re-use is a little frustrating considering the differences in height between James/David and Sarah/Eliza. It's not so noticable with the girls but I can tell that it might be a probably with the Angel and Spikes.
I mean it won't stop me from buying the figures, but I'll just be slightly more inclined to buy less of them due to the fact that body re-use doesn't make me feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

Personally, I find DST's complete disregard for scale a little annoying. I mean ok, we don't need everyone exact by milimeters, but it would be nice if they all looked vaguely accurate standing next to each other... without blips like giantess Fred and Dawn, or over-chunky Welsey. I guess I just don't really like the DST figures compared to the old MAC stuff, never mind.

Just having them be generally accurate would be nice or how about them just admitting they screwed up instead of saying it was meant to be that way. |

It doesn't really bother me. I wish they would have different scales, but that would involve a new sculpt from dst, and let's not chance it being a big disaster. So, I'm fine with it.

Like my Dear Maria (aka GirlPower...shit is that supposed to be revealed?) said, I will get 'em only if sculpt heads are good...I got all of the Buffy & faith ones but just because I wanted to use their heads for customs...Bodies are too toylike for me...
