Nice to see everyone so excited about the deluxe line, I love these figures as well, but a whole line of characters is NOT appealing to me. Buffy, Faith, Willow, Kennedy and Kendra should not have the exact same body, let alone every other character in the Buffyverse! In the end, who wants a whole shelf of identical superposeable bodies with only different paintjobs and different heads? Granted, a figure like Tough Love Willow is great, But Chosen Willow just doesn't have Willow's body type.
I fear that if they do make a switch to "only deluxe", we may NEVER see figures like Adam or the Ubervamp because they won't be able to re-use bodyparts!
Anyway, I'd really like to see GUNN made, be it regular or Deluxe: Using the Spike/Angel bodies could actually result in a really good figure of him.

I agree that parts should ONLY be reused if it still looks good and accurate to the character (i.e. not using The Wish Cordelia's body to make that dreadful Pylean Cordelia body).
I would love:
Connor Werewolf Oz Dark Witch Willow Illyria more Buffy's Adam Ubervamp

I am not very excited about the deluxe line. The joint heavy bodies do not please the eye. I may pick up a Buffy just to have one. I would also like the Destiny Spike and Angel charatcers because their black coats help hid the articulation. Almost any figure they put out in a deluxe line I would rather see in the regular line up.
If they are going to continue the deluxe line the should stick to "fighty" characters and produce some villans. A Gunn/Wesley line up would be appropraite but perhaps a bit dull. Drusilla/Darla with both vamped and human faces would be a solid couple if they can avoid the look of previous figs. "Becoming' Angelus and Buffy would be incedible. Caleb, an Uber Vamp, and some Harbingers would be fairly easily produced villans. A set of random vampire thugs would be extemely easy to make. They would be great for setting up big fight scenes and could allow for some creative license from the sculpters.

Almost any figure they put out in a deluxe line I would rather see in the regular line up. I completely agree. I think the super articulation is so ugly! I only buy the figures if I like the head sculpt, or accessories. I only bought Destiny Angel for the table for the Cup of Perpetual Torment, and because I received a free HH Cheer Buffy with the purchase of the 4 pack. I also like some of the shirts and jackets they put on the Deluxe figures, like the School Hard Spike shirt. It seems like the head sculpts on the Deluxe line are generally better than many of the regular figures, Faith not with standing.

The deluxe figures are like of G.I. Joes with really realistic heads. Even so, Destiny Spike and Angel would nice to have just because they sport the iconic look for both vampires.
As long as deluxe bodies are easy to produce they should focus on a wider variety of characters. Maybe a potential slayer box set is in order...

I would really like Fred, Darla and Connor to get the Duluxe treatment. With new head sculpts of each of the actors plus some new additions to the Duluxe body parts library I think these would be awesome figures. New female bare feet legs could give us 'A Whole in the World' Fred and 'Reunion' Darla figures. So I would love:-
Fred - 'A Whole in the World' Fred - 'Fredless' Fred - 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' Fred - 'The Magic Bullet' fred
Darla - 'Reunion' Darla (dirty white dress) - 'Reprise' Darla (red dress) - 'Offspring' Darla (1771 Rome outfit)
Connor - 'The Price' Connor - 'Orpheus' Connor - 'Origins' Conner

4) I think Xander has a good chance of being next. I'd say possibly, with Riley? Giles has a good chance, but I think it would be better if they don't release all of the main characters too early on. Plus it shouldn't be too far behind the regular Giles figures. 5) Cordelia HAS to be made after that. I'd say with Fred, and the one Illyria variant. 6) Giles, and I think Wesley may have a good chance here too. 7) Anya and Tara. I think this could be unlikely though, due to them being released together last time, but I think this would be the most likely female line choice here. 8) For the male line after that, I'd say Gunn. I'd say he'd probably come with both Doyle and Connor. 9) Darla and Dru, hopefully, would follow. I'd assume a third figure would come with them, as they aren't the most important characters out there. I'd think a Harmony would be likely. 10) Oz springs to mind here, but, I think I've covered every other main character so far apart from Lorne, but I think they wouldn't be the best choices in a line together. I think Lindsey could be in a line too, maybe with Lorne and someone else. But I don't think those 2 Angel characters would come with Oz, who only appeared in the one Angel episode. I think I've missed some main characters, probably. This is just what I hope would be the next lines, but it doesn't include a whole lot of Villains. I'd like if they were squeezed in somewhere too. EDIT: *Slaps head* Dawn. Maybe with Anya/Tara. 2 variants each maybe. I love your ideas! 4) Xander/Riley (with Adam) 5) Cordelia/Fred 6) Giles/ Wesley 7) Tara/ Anya (possibly Dawn) (maybe a Chosen Anya + Ubervamp/Bringer 2 pack) 8) Gunn/ Doyle/ Connor 9) Darla/ Drusilla/ Harmony 10) Oz/Lorne (even tho they don't exactly ''fit'' i still think it'd be ok) couln't really think where to put any more bad guys/demons... taraf0rever ;D

The only characters I'd want to see re-made in deluxe would be Fred/Illyria. Everyone else I feel is well-covered already. From here on, I'm just hoping for as many new characters as possible!

I'd love to see Anya, Cordelia, More Buffy, Dawn, Xander, Giles, Wesley, Fred, Gunn and so many more.
We could get figures of when they were more active. I really like the Deluxe line, the other line is just getting so bland. The poses, the legs, it's almost as they were meant to be statues instead of figures.

They could very easily make a Caleb, using Spike's legs, Angel's lower torso half, Angel's long sleeves, and a new upper torso, and head. He would be better off with Angel's long sleeved arms since they include the shoulder ball socket. Maybe even make a chase with the black eyes.
I would also like to see more Angels and Spikes down the road. DST could sculpt a new piece here and there to make them more than just a straight up repaint. For example, they could make a 70s Spike with removable trenchcoat, and only have to make a new torso (with all those pins in the shirt), head, forearms (just use the bare arms for the rest), waist piece with the belts, and lower legs with the combat boots. Then the combat boot legs could be used for Initiative-clad characters like Riley and Forrest, Xander, etc.

Cordelia would be my #1. Many, many variants.
Aside from her, I'd like to see Darla, Fred and Drusilla...

Although the future of the regular is seemlingly in a bad place right now, I believe that DST will press on with deluxe regardless. The line-up for wave 3 is a step away from the early premise of the "Put the action in action figure!" gimmick, with many obscure choices and not so action oriented characters/outfits. I see this as DST placing faith in this line to become something more than just super-articulated heroes.
I'd like to see DST splitting the Buffy/Angel releases 50/50 honestly, so for he next line I'd like Wes/Gunn, with a limited run of Doyle. Part re-use could mean Wes is a simple new head on a repainted "Destiny" Angel's body for his season 4 look, and Doyle could be the same again with a new head. Part re-use bugs the hell out of me in the regular line, but with these it seems a great idea. I think it's mostly down the the figures starting that way.
I still haven't bought any of the deluxe figures, but I think "Destiny" Angel & Spike are probably DST's best work. I look forward to seeing this line progress.

No more than 1 Wesley please...if he needs to be done in the deluxe line, make sure its only one version like Kendra and Kennedy. There are so many Wesley figures already and he's just not that great. I could go for one deluxe version though. But leave it at that, thanks!
I want Gunn and Harmony with Doyle on the side.

Well I agree we don't need Wesley over-kill. I'd like to see a couple though. Shells/Not fade away and Graduation Day perhaps. I'd like to see a Suit torso sculpted for people like Gunn from Players and Hamilton anyway, so may as well use it on a Wesley figure too. DOYLE DOYLE DOYLE (thought I'd express that)
