That pink motorcycle helmet that comes with Parting Gifts Wesley is...genius! If it actually fits on Angel's head, I'll die.
And...
A TRAY FOR LORNE'S HEAD!!

Regular Wesley is missing. These look much better! I know they are the same figures we saw before, but these angles are better. "Rain of Fire" looks so much better now. The hair and shape of the face don't bother me anymore. The jackets are still big on every figure, especially WITW and Watcher Wesley- shouldn't those jackets be tapered, especially if they're buttoned up? Also, I noticed that "Firearms" Wesley (ROF) doesn't have the two pistols. He has the shotgun, but not the two pistols. I hope he will have them (or Season Four Regular Wesley will). The Lornes all have small heads. The coats are just so big, but the heads need to get bigger. He's gonna look silly, and I really don't want that. Also, where are the bases? I really want to see how the stage and weapons cabinet are different. Toy Fair I guess? The accessories are awesome by the way. I would still LOVE an undercover Lorne though, in his fedora and overcoat. Maybe in a boxed set.

I just noticed- Watcher Wesley still has no glasses! Please, DST, I know they're small, but that will make this figure look different from WITW. They're almost identical right now, and Watcher Wesley always wore glasses.
At least let them be a separate accessory he can hold.

Awesome! I think the Lorne heads are fine in size although they could be just a bit bigger. I love the pink helmet that Wesley comes with. The spin to win cup that comes with Lorne is also cool. I wish that the Waiting in the Wings Wesley could have some more accessories though.

'Rain of Fire' Wes stands out for me. The figure looks better than in previous pics and at long last we get some kick ass weaponry!!! The pink helmet is great for 'Parting Gifts' Wes and I love his crossbow-thing.

These are nice... but I thought RoF Wes had a T on.... and the one they are calling him is really Season4 Wesley? Least thats how the other threads on here are set up... Who's right?

Alright, let me clear this up. There isn't a picture of "ROF" Wes, It's Season 4 Wes named wrong.
Hmmm. The suit wearing Wesley's are just horrible. I'm sorry, I'm trying to be positive but those jackets look baggy and terrible. NO-ONE would ever wear a suit like that!
"Waiting in the wings" Wesley, the only figure from season 3, doesn't have the season 3 hair? Strange. And the sword looks like some-one just stuck the round bit on an old sword.
The accessories look pretty cool. I'm still hoping there's something that season 4 Wes'll have to make him worth buying as well as "Rain of fire" Wes. None of the MAC accessories....shame. I loved the axe and cross and they work well season 1 Wes acessories - Give them to "Parting Gifts" Wesley! Please!
Talking bout "Parting Gifts" Wesley. Shouldn't he have a pistol crossbow?
I love the axe that comes with season 4 Wes. It looks just like it after chopping Lilah's head!

These are looking really good. The accessories look great and the figures even better. With close up shots the likeness is really good!

The accesories are great. I can't wait for these figures to be released. I wonder when they will have the bases ready to show. I agree that it would've been better if "Bad Girls" Wesley had glasses. I like the pink helmet and it should fit the new Angels head, that would make sense. I like Angel's soul, that is a really awesome accesory, the bloody axe that he cut Lilah's head off is great too. The Wolf, Ram, & Hart books are really nice. I'm hoping that since these figures have had this much done already that they won't be delayed, and come out sooner than expected. I can't wait to see pictures of the new Angel and Fred figures to see more amazing figures from DST.

Parting Gifts Wesley looks soooooo much better. Thank you for getting rid of that awful goatee. Hum, I wonder if they changed it on Rain of Fire Wesley (since the picture of rain of fire wesley is obvously regular wesley). Because the goatee had started to grow on me for that figure, but it was all wrong for Parting Gifts.
I really hate that jacket on Waiting in the wings wesley. I've actually been fine with all the jackets up till now, but that just doesn't look right at all.
And regular wesley looks even better! The other picture had his face looking kindof roundish. I don't know if they actually changed it, or if it was just the angle of the picture but now he looks just like wesley. I'm loving that figure.
/me eta: So time and space toys has updated their page with the new pictures of all the figures. Except for Rain of Fire Wesley. I was hopeing that the site had made a mistake when making the page and left off Rain of Fire on accident, but I figure if anyone would have the updated pic of Rain of Fire it would be T&ST, since they are the exclusive holder. Hopeing they release that pic later today. Really curious to see if they changed it again.

I think the lorne figures are great! Not really impressed by the Wesley's, the jackets are a little big and parts do seem to have been reused between figures, but the pink motorcycle helmet is really cute!

Wes's suit and Tux coats are just... well... abominations. Those are the ugliest coats imaginable and have only the most fleeting resemblence of the sort of formal wear that they attempt to be. I know it's resin and not the final rubbery vinyl or whatever, but for the final figures to look good, that material needs to shrink quite a bit and completely alter its shape to look for like a well-cut fabric garment instead of a bulky potato sack smothered in latex paint.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on them, because the more I look at them the less awful they look. They could grow on me.
In both of those figures though the lack of glasses is killing the likeness. If they can't figure out how to do it, I certainly will! Giles has the advantage of a very distinctive look so it's obviously him without glasses. Wes looks more like an average guy, and the glasses really defined his look in those episodes.
My slightly less reasonable complaint (maybe it's a matter of taste) is that I don't like the legs on either of them. I fell like the pants are too baggy at the top and have huge crotch areas. Then the pants taper down a lot, especially Lorne's. Like I said before this adds to his bulky look by making it look like he has huge quads.
Still, the accessories are great, and my favorite ones so far are the basic figures which is very cool.

They look so awesome! For Wes' jacket it just needs to be tapered a bit on the sides near the bottom. Judgement Lorne's isnt bad since his jacket is open so naturally it would "flare" a bit more than if it was buttoned. Lorne's head only looks noticably out of scale on the House always wins, and that could be either the "pattern" on his jacket, or his shoulders are too wide. Hard to tell which on the photo's. But that is just my opinion. Either way DST will do an amazing job with them so I have complete confidence in them

"Rain of fire" Wesley is up, sort of. you can see it in the slightly smaller version but clicking it leads to season 4 Wes.
