Thought I should start an official thread since it looks like people are starting to receive these. As for me, I ordered End of Days Buffy and Grad Day Faith, and while I haven't received those yet, I did get the most amazing package in the mail yesterday, since I was the lucky winner of the June DST Radicals contest.  I was expecting to receive one unpainted Buffy and one Faith, but instead got all six! I will take and post some pictures tonight. I had to rush out the door last night, so I was only able to take a quick (okay, half hour) look at them. But what I saw has me even more excited to receive the painted versions! I think the best feature of these (apart from the obvious massive amount of articulation) is the more flexible plastic used for the hair and coat/jacket pieces. That's always been my favorite part of the LotR figures as well -- being able to turn the head allows MUCH more flexibility when posing these. It's amazing what a little tilt can do for the whole expression/feel of the figure. The accessories also look really amazing -- I'm especially impressed with Faith's knife, and I love the burnt effect they have going with Grad Day Buffy's yearbook (at least as far as texturing goes -- again, mine's unpainted). I think the face sculpts are fabulous. I expect to see a ton of customs of these cropping up! Again, I'll try to get some pics posted tonight. |

Yup, I got my EOD Buffy and Bad Girls Faith yesterday and I LOVE them, every single little bit of them, and I haven't had any problems as of yet.
My Grad Day ones are on the way from Minnesota right now too! (belated birthday present from a friend)

I just waiting for the other 4 to come from cinequest then i'll be even more happy, they rock.
I hope they do more deleux figures, just imagine a pink and fuzzy willow from doppelganger with interchangeable heads.

Got the Grad set...and I LOVE them. I'll modify this post later to fully review them. K, got everything done. Pics are a tad blurry and the color isn't the best, but at least it's something! Ok, when I saw Buffy in the store, I was like "the likeness on this one is like...whoa. Perfect. I love it!" Faith looks better than any picture (probably even the ones I took), you can really only judge once you see it in person. But I love it. All the switchable stuff works, and she holds all the accesories (though the cuffs can't really go around a wrist and are pretty fragile). Both my figures are loose at the waist articulation, causing their feet to come up from under them or they lean over when you try any pose outside of anything neutral (especially on a slippery table top like the one I used for the pics hehe). There aren't any holes at the bottom of their feet, so you can't attach them to a base, which kinda stinks. Faith's bare arem doesn't really fit perfectly, so it kinda hangs to the side too (can probably happen to any of the figures. Alright, here's all the pics I could take: Please note that I have changed Buffy's hair myself, and that none of the figures are produced with it.  My version of a funny: I guess this is a new chase that we didn't know about...season 3 Buffy hair? Kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joking! I can't stand the hair sculpt (especially on a season 3 figure...not even close), so I made Invisible Woman bald for the sake of Buffy. I think it looks a lot more appropriate. Easy fix, try it yourself!   Here's gorgeous Faith...nice tat! Look! They hold new AND old accesories...woot!   And me having fun      See all these and more pics here: photobucket.com/albums/v445/Willowfan/DLX%20Figures/ |

The Grad Faith I ordered for my friend's birthday present came today.
It is rather nice, I may buy one for myself, but It'll most likely be the season 7 one.

Got my GD Buffy and Bad Girls Faith. I was going to get OMWF Buffy but I didn't like her lack of accessories. I was planning to get GD Faith but when I saw that they had Bad Girls Faith in stock I realised how much better she looks.

The pictures look different than the promo pictures (at thetop of the thread. Buffy's hair is very different. I like the promo hair better on Buffy, but the figure hair is fairly good, too.
I love the jackets the most.

If you did some work on that, it would actually turn out to be a really good "Chosen" Buffy.

Just to clear this up, there is not a chase figure in the deluxe assortment. The figure pictured above was a custom creation (GD Buffy with Invisisble Woman's hair).

Willfan; I must say, Buffy's hair LOOKS MUCH BETTER like that. The other hair was to long and obvisly the same as the OMWF Buffy's. Great pictures, you should re animate their whole fight^^ That would be funny to see.
