I am off asap to go pick up "End of Days" Faith... which should really be "Touched" Faith, since in "End of Days" she is all beat up and changes out of those clothing fast... But "Touched" Faith sounds wrong...
But yes, I have bought 2 Buffy's and 2 Faith's, which is what I only want to do. I disike at the moment "Bad Girls" Faith and "End of Days" Buffy. But I know for sure I'll be making a "Dirty Girls" Faith as soon as I get the funds to.

I got EOD Buffy today so now I'm only missing Bad Girls Faith, but her jacket's looks all beaten up, I kinda like it like that though so I'm not upset by it. Oh and her knee joint's stuck so I stuck her in the freezer--on a side note does anyone know why that works?

I'm not sure, but it might be because if it's paint sticking the joint together, freezing it makes it more brittle and easier to break the joint free. I may also have no idea what I'm talking about.

Finally got my EOD Buffy this morning. She's definately my favorite of the bunch. Still waiting for EOD Faith and BG Faith though.

I just got the End of Days Buffy courtesy of Cinequest and I love it! I may leave it in the box though, not sure.
I realized what the expression is that she often has... it's the "I've just smoked a whole bag" look.

My EOD Buffy FINALLY arrived today... but sadly, her arm fell off when i opened the clamschell. I tried to get it back on but the arm 'peg' won't fit in the hole, so now i have to send it back and wait for a new one.. Blah...

Finally Graduation Day Buffy came, and she is all pretty^^
I wish she came with some kind of weapon... so I gave her Faith's dagger, cause it looks cool with her.

I got my Bad Girls Faith today. I love her, I think she is the best out of the three. The darker make-up really does give her better likeness!

FINALLY got EOD Buffy and GD Faith.
On the whole, I'm VERY pleased.
EOD Buffy: - Really have no issues with this figure. The eyes bug me, both colour and the fact they've been sculpted/painted half-closed, but I'm trying to position the head so she just looks determined, not sleepy.
GD Faith: - Again really no issues. A bit of a problem with paint application on the shirt, problem with the back and front torso not lining up correctly and loose jacket arms, but on the whole pretty good. - I'm semi-impressed with the face sculpt. I do think it looks better in person and I freeze framed a couple of times during the Faith episodes on Angel in season 4 and I can see a "technical" likeness. I'm not sure what is missing, but the dimpled chin and bigger eyes seem to be the most obvious flaws.
I'm looking forward to the Angel/Spike figures now even more. Hope both jacket and non-jacket arms are ball-jointed though. There was no excuse for this not being the case with Buffy and Faith, just look at SOTA's Adventure Lara Croft for an example of the interchangeable jacket done right.
Does anyone happen to know if the boil and pop method works on things like hands for the deluxe figures?
I've swapped their jackets over because Buffy favoured black leather jackets and Faith favoured demin jackets more to me. BUT, I want to put Faith's nail polished hands on the end of the denim jacket arms. Just worried about ruining the figures, which I so very much don't want to do.
Cheers, Haeph.

I have a quick question;
Is the pole "Graduation Day" Faith come with the same one "Fools for Love" Spike has?

You know, from pictures it looks like it, DL. I don't have FFL Spike yet- just ordered him from the Cinequest sale- but I do have GD Faith, and they look similar.

I don't wanna sound ungreatful for the figure, but stuff like that kind of annoys me. Since, it does save money, but it dosn't really work. Since the pole Faith used was black with dust and rust on it... which, if DST just would of panted, would of really made it more detailed then just reusing the same pole with out any change...

It isn't the same. FFL's pole is longer and skinnier than Faith's pole is.

I got the whole set today and Im very impressed.
I was real iffy on this line at first but I must say that the figures are great. They look mush better in person than the original pics I saw and I cant wait for the next line of deluxes.
I even bought an extra Graduation Day set to open up. Im very impressed with the poseability of these figures. I really like the jackets.
One thing I was wondering since DST is usually very good with episode specific weapons but.......
Why does "End of Days" Faith come with the hibben knife? This was 4 years after the knife was used and the last one to use it was Buffy.
"Graduation Day" Buffy should have came with the bloody knife and "Graduation Day" Faith should have came with the clean one.
Absolutely no reason why "End Of Days" Faith should have.
Anyway.............. I recommend anyone passing on this line should reconsider. Especially if you actually play with your action figures. I love the fact that DST chose to make the line to go with the MAC figures but I also welcome more of these deluxe figures as long as they continue to focus on the standard line.
Buy these!

I just picked my EOD Buffy up from Tower Records and all I have to say is "Wow!" I wasn't sure about how the figures would look, but in person they're all beautiful. They also had the GD set and OMWF Buffy. I plan on picking up the GD set some time soon. Back to EOD Buffy; I have no problems with loose joints, which I was kind of worried about from some members' experience. I do have some problems with stiff joints but I'll try some suggestions I've seen here. I can't tell you how happy I am with the figure, it's beautiful.

I have a quick question about "Bad Girls" Faith.
Is her vest, pretty much a normal jacket, with out the jacket arms? Instead regular arms?

BG Faith has grad day Buffy/faith's jacket as a vest, and the arms are like OMWF Buffy's only the sleve is sculpted higher for the 3/4 length look. (did I make sense? Sorry if I didn't, I'm a little tired Edit: The arms on BG faith are not regular. The sleves are sculpted and have wrinkles unlike the bare arms.

I got my deluxe Buffy and Faiths today. They're pretty good- can't seem to find any problems with them like other people have, but then again i leave mine in their packages. One of Faith's legs does look a bit weird, but that's about it.
Buffy's face is excellent, but they just can't seem to get Eliza's face right (by that i mean DST, MAC, Sideshow).
EOD Buffy is my fave one.
