I also think the Prophecy Girl Buffy looks good. The face is an excellent likeness to SMG and you can always fuss with the hair if you don't like how it looks. She's supposed to look a little beat up because of being attacked by The Master.
I just got my two Willow figures today. I'm glad I was prepared before I got them to know they didn't look like the prototype. They look a little better in real life than the pictures but it is no way as nice as the original prototype was. But I'm going to keep them because I love the outfit and the accessories with them. I am planning on complaining to Sideshow though.

I think the face on this one looks o.k., but the hair is just ugly in my opinion. I won't get it.. I'm waiting for Oz

I pre-ordered the exclusive hoping the hair thing would be changed... I am trying to keep an open mind because it is cool of them to do figures that we as fans want but I don't think I will be holding on to this figure once I receive it. I have been trying not to poo-poo the figures... but I am in a poo-poo mood and felt like being vocal (or typing it ) B

Sideshow doesn't make Buffy figures as a favor to fans. Sideshow makes figures to make money. I don't feel the least bit guilty about giving my honest opinion. Of course, the best way to demonstrate your displeasure is to either abstain from buying the figures or to return them if you pre-ordered. Complaining via email won't make as much of an impact. They still have your money, which is what they are really after.

I just received a Shipping notice from Sideshow with Fedex. The package is to be received March 4th. I can't wait to get the regular and exclusive versions. Hopefully they will actually look better than what they had displayed at Toyfair.

oookay...they didn't do ANYTHING to it...
No one is bald on the sides of their head, even girls. That thing has a forehead like a drive-in movie theater.

Glad to see you got yours but where are mine!? Did you pay extra for faster shipping because mine aren't even listed as being shipped yet and I'm getting rather annoyed (because I'm very impatient!!) to see that others have not only had theirs shipped but that they've already gotten them!
Any chance you're going to be taking them out of the box to take pictures? They look great from your pictures but I can't wait to see what the hair looks like outside of the box. Do the two figures have the same face design too? In the prototypes it looked like there were different expressions but these kind of look identical from your pictures.

hehe she looks great ;D I am only getting the regular, but I think she looks brilliant! I love the picture they've used on the cover of the box as well, though an episode still would have been nice.

I'll have to reserve judgement till she's out of the box. But the face sculpt and accessories look great.

That figure scares me. I hope she looks better out of the box. Did they re-use the Vampyre book and crossbow accessories from the Hush Buffy, or are these different?

The hair on the regular one still looks like the prototype, i think. Or looks as if it could easily be styled that way. At toyfair, the hair looked a bit off, but in the packaging it looks the same IMO.

I haven't received anything from Sideshow yet regarding shipping and the only reason I know my Spikes are on their way is because I checked my account status on the Sideshow website and those say shipped and have the FedEx tracking number. My Buffys still say processing. I know I'm being very impatient but it really bugs me that everyone's aren't shipped out the same day.
I swear I pre-order the second they are listed, or at the least the day they are listed because I will constantly keep checking until they show up (yes, I know I'm totally over board with the obsessiveness).
Okay, maybe it's because I live on the East Coast that it takes them longer to get them out?

I didn't get my Elxclusive Willow until 2 weeks after everyone else had received, I'm not sure how they prioritze their shipping.
I have one coming now which I assume is PG Buffy. Still no sign of Spike.

The vampyre book looks like the same scult just painted alot shinier then last time, but the crossbow is different. FireflyFlanatic you should email sideshow asap a ask them whats happening with your figures, did you get any emails saying you payment had gone through ok?
