I got mine yesterday and it is so great. I am sad that i didn't order a second one as it looks so good in the package that I hate to debox these gals. The tara is so so...but that Willow is near perfection!.

I received mine today, but wasn't expecting it at all. I didn't even get an e-mail notice. It was quite the surprise when I got home.  They look really great. I'm happy with how the set turned out, and I'm hoping that there will be more two-packs in the future. -CMK |

Could somebody take some more pictures of the set? I'd love to see them I'd like to see some pictures too. I'm probably just being picky, but the paint job on mine seems a little off and I'd like to compare them.  ;D |

Ok, I have a gripe about Cinequest and their packing, so bear with me. I received my Willow and Tara Together Forever set from Cinequest yesterday, and although they were shipped out to me really quick, I was really disappointed by the packing. Basically they shipped the figures to me (I ordered 2 sets) in the white cardboard mailers that hold the figures, without putting them in a larger cardboard box first. They basically taped the 2 white mailers together and as a result, the card on one of the sets got mashed in the corner. I'm not going to bother sending it back since I was planning to open one anyway and keep the other MOC. Anyhow, I've always heard that Cinequest packed their shipments really well and as a MOC collector that was why I bought it from them. On top of that, they charged me $15 for shipping when the actual shipping cost was only $7. And the fact they they didn't actually ship the figures in a protective outer box really blows, because they didn't spend anything on packing materials, and inflated their Int'l shipping charges for no discernable reason that I can see (I know insurance doesn't cost $8!) Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed. Perhaps this is just an isolated case, but I don't feel confident buying from them again, unless they can impove their packing standards.  Anyone else have the same problem? Ok, gripe is over. On to the figures... I love them! The design of the card and bubble are nice, and the figures are well done. I noticed that the paint job on one of my sets is much better than the other one though, but overall they're both quite nice. MKF is totally adorable too! However, I did notice something really odd about Tara's hands - and this is on all my Tara figs (NMR, Hush, Reg), in addition to the Tara in this set: What's with her mini-hands??  All of the hands on my Tara figs are at least half the size of the hands on my Willow and Anya figures - it's really bizarre. It's not really that noticeable until you compare them closely, and especially when you have Tara standing beside Willow. Tara's hands look freakishly small, or else Willow's hands look freakishly large. Anyone else notice this? |

Yes, I noticed this. It's weird. This sounds like a great set.

My shipment has been delayed to Monday because Cinequest gave UPS my bill to address for delivery, and there is no one at my bill to address to accept the package.
Sigh....

Anyone else have the same problem? Thats a shame that you had that problem with them. I've also ordered my Willow & Tara from them, but there's 2 sets of Trading cards & single promo cards coming with them so i hope everything is packaged well. I've ordered twice from Cinequest before & both orders were very well packaged in a secure box. Maybe your situation is just an isolated incident? I have my "Grave" Spike on Pre-Order with CineQuest & am being charged $18 for shipping to Ireland which is excessive. If you pre-order "Just Rewards" Spike figure from Sci-Fi Genre, the price for shipping is $11.40! (Before anyone asks why i don't just order "Grave" SPiek from them - they don't have him listed). I'm going to check the box when it arrives & see what the actual cost for posting was. |

Willow & Tara look fantastic (and of course Miss Kitty does as well).
The paint job on this Willow is much better than the standard Season 5 Willow.
Can't wait to get this!

I won 2 of these on ebay from Cinequest. I didn't know it was Cinequest that I was bidding on until after I paid them. I was charged $60 plus $7 for shipping (and insurance was included). Thier selling name is searchers.
I can't wait to get them, one to hang on the wall and one to open to display the figures in one of my curio cabinets. I really hope to figure out how to use my digital camera and how to post pictures to show everyone all my Buffy stuff from wall to wall to ceiling.

I GOT MINE! they're hella cool! i really love especially how this Willow smiling DOES NOT look like a cartoon! the paint job is killer. I'm not a fan of the white design going aroudn their bases (which i pray is not supposed to be sprinkled white sand) and that they don't stand close together, but i didn't expect them to change their pegs. all in all, VERY COOL SET!!!
