I really wish that Time and Space Toys would ship my Deluxe Figures already. They sent the email that said that they were going to ship them as soon as possible, and that because of the con and being shorthanded that it would take them longer to ship them. It would be nice if they would at least ship them next Monday or Tuesday so that I could get them at least by Wednesday. Maybe they will wait until after the con is over to ship half of the orders. After seeing all these great pictures and want mine more and more.

I just got EOD Faith and she is fine. The joints are perfect and once I got it I enjoyed Faith's features better then the pictures looked like. The only complaint I have is that her right hand has polio and doesn't hold weapons.

My deluxes (Graduation Day Buffy and Faith and OMWF Buffy) arrived from T&ST today! I like them a lot! The likenesses are perfect and Faith looks much better in person. I haven't taken them out yet, so I am unsure about loose joints, etc. My favorite so far is Graduation Day Buffy. I'm looking forward to getting EOD Buffy as well. Edit: Nothing seems to be wrong

I picked up Graduation Day and OMWF Buffy tonight. I was pretty much jumping up and down in Suncoast when I found them. I've only opened GD Buffy so far, and played with her a bit before putting her on the table where I banish new stinky plastic toys until they air out. My only complaint is the new plastic smell, which I was expecting with all the nifty soft plastic. Otherwise she's perfect, joints seem to move great. I swapped out her arms, which was really a lot of fun. I think I like her better with the jacket on, at least right now. And for some reason I'm in love with the ad pages that come as a background for the figs. I guess I'm just that much in love with my new Deluxe figures.

I got my Deluxe Graduation Day Buffy & Faith and OMWF Buffy yesterday from AFX! UPS brought them at 6 PM just as I was leaving for 2 days. I only got to view them in their package for a couple minutes before leaving but I was very excited and cannot wait to get back to open them. Anyway, here are my first impressions: The packaging was smaller than I expected, and Faith has either a bruise painted on or a paint smudge over her left eye. I am very excited about these figures! I love them, what can I say? I thought OMWF Buffy would be my favorite, but I definely think Graduation Day Buffy is a better likeness and I like the coloring better. I can't decide yet if I like the Faith better than my MAC ones. Not sure yet if I'll be replacing her on my shelves. I suppose after I open them and examine them more closely, I will have more to say, but so far, I am extremely pleased with these new figures. I can remember picking up a Marvel Legends figure once and saying, "God, I wish they would make Buffy figures like this." They are like answered prayers!

Just got my Graduation day set and once more with feeling Buffy from Time and Space. They are awesome looking. I am a mint on card collector and these ones are staying in the package but I noticed that my Graduation Buffy has 2 right hands. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I will probably just keep it because it does not bither me much and since it is staying in the package this error makes it unique.

I just got my End of days Buffy. This is the only Duluxe figure I am getting and I love it. They has been no problems yet with dodgy joints. I think it is the best Buffy figure so far, maybe better than the new Buffys we are getting. I just want a Duluxe Caleb or Turok-Han so I can have my Duluxe Buffy fight something. lol

I agree that the likeness on the Deluxe Buffy figures is the best one yet. It's a fantastic heald sculpt. These are great figures to use for customizing Buffy. I recommend them to any customizers.
I really didn't like the Faith figures from the pictures, but I think that in real life the Faith head looks much more like Eliza than the the pictures portray.

Just a little warning. I couldn't wait for TST so I went to Newbury comics and bought one so I could have her immediately. Buffy was posed all fierce looking above my TV and in the middle of the night she took a dive. When we woke up the next morning buffy's torso was literally split in half. Poor girl was just in pieces, literally!! Might not want to place her too high up because if she falls she seems a bit brittle. Luckily since the torse just split in half along the seams it was real simple to crazy glue the two pieces back together and you can't even tell.

Haha. Funny story. Well probably not for you. I'm sorry to hear that. You have to wait along time for TST to ship them, you can't wait so you buy one and it breaks.

That's about the gist of it. It was an easy fix but it was so sad to see Buffy's head in one place the each arm and each leg spread apart from the body. I almost wanted to hold a little memorial for her. Although now that I think of it. It's like she was the real buffy. She died and then I brought her back. Instead of the Urn it was the Glue. Cheesy I now but it's almost quitting time on a Friday and I'm a bit punchy.

I got all of mine today except for "End of Days" Buffy which will ship later from Time and Space Toys. I love them all, I can't wait for the next Deluxe line with Angel and Spike.

I picked up OMWF Buffy and I must admit, I thought I would hate these figures, but I love Buffy! She looks amazing.
She is a little stiff, and some of her hair paint chipped out while I was taking her out of her box. After some rotating, she is becoming less stiff.
I wish she came with more stuff... But still, really cool figure.

Bad Girls Faith arrived today from AFX (and in an ironic twist, so did Bad Girls Wesley from another retailer.) SHe is my first deluxe so far (the other ones are en route). I am so glad DST took a chance on this line because these figures are really sharp. She looks way better in person than any picture I have seen of her on the net. In fact, I am debating putting my MAC Faith in storage because next to this Faith, poor MAC Faith looks like a generic Potential or something.
My leg joints are pretty loose on one side but she still stands ok but in very limited poses. I think they quality of the articulation and poseability will increase as more waves are released. OUTSTANDING DST!!

I was just about to get Graduation Day Buffy today but when I was going up tp pay for her I noticed that she had no nose. It was just nothing but skin there. So I turned around and got NPLPG Lorne.

No nose?
I guess I'll make sure to double check when I go and buy Graduation Day Buffy.
