Guys, check out this modification Pedro (aka KAL-EL) did to Claire figure: I wonder if there's a way to contact Mezco with this suggestion? Since the figure still pending approval maybe we might get it fixed. Wow she looks a hell of a lot better , do you want me to post it over at the Mezco forum ? I hope it's ok but I have to post it over there saying how much better KAL-EL made it ...

Hmm....I will see what I can do with repainting these...but I am not super impressed. They aren't horrible and I like that the bodies aren't in the neutral position the DST buffy figs have.

I agree that Mohinder is the only one with a good likeness. Claire has a good body sculpt and pose. So does Sylar. On a happy note, I think Claire will finally give us a good head for Lilah customs!

I agree Maria! These will make great custom fodder! I have been dying to make a self custom for years but I oculd not find satisfactory parts but I think I may have to pick up a Peter and Mohinder to do some mixing and matching!

I'm feeling somewhat 'meh' about these. As with the BSG figures they just fall short of what I was expecting, reeking a little too much of later DST Buffy figures to be honest.

They aren't horrible and I like that the bodies aren't in the neutral position the DST buffy figs have. Agreed, but I also like that they aren't in OVERLY dynamic positions so much that you can only display them one way. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the more I check them out, the more they grow on me. I don't think they are drop dead amazing 'I MUST HAVE' but I actually am looking forward to adding them to my collection. I'm just hoping all the figures released will maintain a consitant look.

I agree jbrow. when i first saw them i was meh...and now they are growing on me and i kinda like em now.
mohinder is really awesome I think...despite the fact I hate his character.lol. im really liking the hiro figure as well. Damaged claire is awesome. The likeness aint there at all on the regular one but for some reason i love the damaged variant. think she looks ace...but the hair needs to be longer! Peter isnt a fav of mine either but I do look at him and think peter but thats maybe just because the figure has the mopish hair he had in season 1. Sylar i think has a good likeness and good body sculpt so from me no complaints.
so overall I like them. Seeing them pictured together in girlpowers post (thanks for more pics) makes me excited about them seeing them all together. Cant wait to see more from series 2 etc. I think these will sell really well.

I'm not loving these too much. Sylar looks really good, I think but he is in a totally different style from the others...he looks like a cartoonish version (and a great looking figure for that style) but he doesnt fit in. Hiro looks ok but he is kinda inbetween cartoonish and real. Claire doesnt really look like claire at all. Mohinder looks good.
Then theres Peter...the figure I was waiting most for. He looks like Peter in 20 years. He looks so ridiculously old. Some of the pictures from different angles I've seen show a better likeness but the main shots that are popping up everywhere look horrible. I hope some company does a 12" version and makes him look perfect.

I saw these at action-figure.com, noted the negative comments, clicked on the picture of Mohinder first and thought "huh, that one looks okay", the saw the others. Hiro Nakamura, Age 12, is particulary iffy. See how they look in the plastic, I suppose...

i think they look good all. the one that lacks likeness the most is claire. but i think the damaged one had better likeness. i will defenitly be getting these to my collection.

I love all of them! I'll get the whole set. I wonder if the Peter figure will have a crooked lip, like the actor..
