The figures are looking great especially Rain of Fire Wesley & The House Always Wins Lorne. I'm glad i joined The Buffy Collector Club - we'll be able to order him from the store after he premieres at the convention. At least i'll now stand a chance of getting him

Ok, so I've done the whole photoshop thing to show what I think could make waiting in the wings wesley look better. I did slim his jacket down, but the thing that I think that would improve it the most is opening up the jacket some. dress jackets do not button up that high. Also alot of screen caps I saw of the episode he didn't even have his jacket buttoned up at all, so I even think that replacing his jacket with Season 4 Wesley's jacket would look better then that all the way buttoned up look he is sporting now. Please excuse the bad photoshopping

The toymania link for RoF Wes works fine now. The small and large versions are both RoF Wes(who looks pretty sweet), But now S4 Wesley is gone haha. but Im glad I got to see all the swag that RoF comes with too. Maybe I will use the collectors club and get S4 with Judgement and PG Lorne, then buy the RoF Exclusive. Im nto much of a completist, just 1-2 good versions of each character are good for me. Thanks for the notice about the pic, btw.

As for using "Rain of fire" Wesley's jacket on this figure, it could work, especially if DST modified the jacket to make it look like it should do as it's collar is actually more like the Watcher/"WITW" one anyway.

I love the Season 4 Wes and Judgement Lorne. They are most definitely my favorites. One thing that bothers me is that WitW Wesley should switch heads with Rouge Demon Wesley. In season 1, Wes had his slick-haired comb over look, not the rough season 4 hair. Meanwhile, WitW Wesley figure has slick hair, when he had a shaggy look to him the episode. Maybe I am just nitpicking...

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. 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. I agree with everything DanMan has stated in the above. It may be abit harsh, but its the truth. -ExclusiveOz-

Can someone who saved the Season 4 version please post it here? I didn't save it before, and now RTM has replaced with the ROF version.
Thanks!

It's been that way for awhile. The released a new pic about a week ago?? that showed him with this jacket. Its actually much more acurate the the shorter one they had before.
I now absoultly love Rain of Fire Wesley, Season Four Wesley, and Parting Gifts Wesley. I think the regular one is actually my favorite. Bad girls wesley is ok. But I hate that jacket on Waiting in the wings Wesley, it's not the right kind of jacket for a tux. It's reminding me of the MAC repaint varients. I really hope that since this is the first pic we have seen of him that there is a change coming like all the others have had. Otherwise I'm going to have to do my first custom ever. How hard do you think it would be to change that jacket.

Am I interpreting these pics right?
Both S4 Wes and Rain of Fire Wes have a shotgun, but Rain of Fire also has a handgun. But just the one handgun?
It's just not right if Wes can't do the full John Woo!

They're not really gonna release 'Bad Girls' Wesley without glasses, are they? Why do episode specific if you're not gonna be episode specific. Just call him 'Buffy' Wesley (even though he always wore glasses on Buffy) I"m just praying that since the figures are still months away, these pix are just prototypes and the jackets will change and the glasses will get put on

I've just relooked over the figures and here are my verdicts I really like Season four Wes and Parting Gifts Wes - I will probably be buying them I don't like either WITW Wesley or Bad Girls Welsey (Except for Bad Girls accessories). I really like the Lornes and will be buying one or two of these, as long as the face is painted so that it's looks more like Lornes (mainly the eyes).

I agree 100% Season 4 Wesley is looking dudish "Parting gifts" Wes is looking great too but I think he needs the original Wes's accessories and the Wacther Wes's head. "Rain of fire" Wes is pretty cool. Just a little too similar to saeson 4 Wes. His jeans need to be blue (and that is the last time I'll ever say that again. Promise) "Bad girls" Wesley is pretty s**t. The jacket looks fat, like a thick pillow case. A suit doesn't look like that. He should have a fencing sword too. "Waiting in the wings" Wes looks absolute s**t. It's the worst Wesley by a long way. The jacket looks just as terrible as the figure before it, (not surprisingly) but it looks worse knowing that it's supposed to be a tux. The fencing sword has that cross-bar thingy above the handle and it doesn't need it. "Judgement" Lorne and "Plrtz Glrb" Lorne aren't bad. They still look a little on the chunky side. "House always wins" Lorne is cool. It's the best Lorne IMO as the jacket is supposed to look big.

I just can not settle with the GIANT jackets... You got this tiny little head, HUGE jacket, and then the skinny little legs coming out of it... What is with that? Some look okay, but the ones with like the suit jackets are just not doing it for me... They remind me of Happy Meal toys... Remember that inspecter gadget? That is what those few look like to me... I hope they shrink by release, or look better in packaging... Otherwise, I dont know if I will buy those few. They look too cheap. Honestly! Happy meal toys! I just wanted to say that... Thanks for reading, and sorry to DST if this offends you are somthing...
