I got my notice too about WW Oz, Oz and Liam and am excited to see that Xander will be coming soon too. I wonder if Subway Spike will be announced to because he's also listed as a third quarter shipment.

[buffyfannumerouno]

I'm guessing that Liam is the figure that I got a shipping notice for today. They sent me no notice of a figure shipping, but Fed Ex sent me a shipping notice of a figure shipping. I already have Oz and already got a shipping notice for Werewolf Oz, I haven't gotten a shipping notice for the Exclusive Oz that I ordered or Liam. So I'm guessing that it's Liam if you say that you got a shipping notice for him

[wickedredhead]

I got my shipping notice today and Liam is the only one I got directly from Sideshow so yea! Too bad I'll be out of town when he gets here.

I got my werewolf oz today from sideshow. I think he looks great. I think the only thing about him that looks different from the prototype is that his hair is all one color, and the prototype had some shading. But he still looks great. I think his face looks exactly the same.

I got two out of three shipping notices and Sideshow has really pissed me off. I'm very disappointed with their complete lack of customer service. I called them last week about combining freight and I got voice mail. It said if you left a message referencing your order number and a phone number they could reach they'd get back to you right away. It's been over a week and I didn't hear a peep. I also sent them an email early last week to follow up on the phone call and I didn't get a response. I sent them an email early this week and they still didn't answer. Instead my items got shipped yesterday (both went out on the same day) and I was charge almost $10 for each figure in shipping. That's crazy!! I'm so angry that I'm seriously considering cancelling all my pre-orders and saying screw the exclusives. So much for the "we promise to respond within 24-48 hours".
GRRR!!! Anyone have any connections that might help me actually get some sort of response?

[FireflyFlanatic]

I got all three today. I already had the regular Oz so I knew what he'd look like and was just as pleased with the exclusive version. Liam looks great and the bite mark isn't painted on like Buffy's bite and scratches were. His is part of the sculpt and it looks great. I took his vest off and untucked his shirt because that seemed more like Liam the sloppy drunk was like. A couple complaints about the outfit though. Only one snap for the shirt and the pants kind of gape near his crotch area like there should be pockets there but there isn't.

WW Oz, looks good but he definitely isn't as good as the prototype imo. The sculpt on his face for the fur in the prototype looks a lot deeper and more pronounced. The actual figures sculpt for his fur is a lot less defined and almost smooth on his face. He still looks really good but I am a bit disappointed that the fur isn't the same on his face as it was in the prototype. His hair doesn't look orange like it does in the pictures and that makes a huge difference in how he looks. I'm not bothering taking pictures because I know mine will just look like everyone elses.

Ajmets, I feel for you! I'd be really annoyed to if I had to pay $10 for each figure to ship. My shipping for the three figures was around $14 altogether and I also live in MA. I'd try calling them again until you get to talk to an actual person and really complain about this. There is no reason why they couldn't have combined the shipping without even being asked to do it with two figures shipping out on the same day!

[ajmets]

I'm going to wait until after 12pm eastern time because they are in California and then I am going to call yet again. $14 for all three and you're in Mass? So unfair, I'll have paid $30 by the time this is all said and done. Thanx for the heads up. I'm totally using that as ammunition. lol.

Update: I spoke with Sideshow, finally lol, and they are going to ship out the third figure free of freight charges to make up for the first two mailed out.

[FireflyFlanatic]

Good! I'm glad you called and complained!

Well, I decided to take some pictures myself and as I suspected they never look as good as the figure does in real life. WW Oz still looks like his hair and fur is orangish in my pics too so I'm not going to bother posting them. His coloring is slightly different than the Oz figure because Oz's hair looks slightly lighter in the pictures but only a small bit. Now that I've had my WW Oz figure and had a chance to more closely compare him again to the Sideshow picture I'd say he is almost as good as the prototype. I think the fur on the side of his face could be about the same depth but Sideshow's proto has a bit more color mixed in to accentuate the sculpted fur. But, the chin on my figure doesn't look as sculpted as Sideshows does. Mine is almost smooth in that area. That said, I'm pleased with him and glad I got him. I've got him posed in the crouched position like they show and he looks fantastic.

I will be getting both Oz figures next week. Of course, Sideshow decided to ship them seperately...so I'm paying more. I wont be complaining though since I didnt order Angel and I'm about to cancel my preorder for Xander. Dont really want to deal with sideshow needlessly...this is the second time they've shipped out 2 figures on the same day without combing shipping.

And they didnt even email me about me getting a WW Oz...it just shipped. Not that I'm complaining, but I was under the impression that I was still on the waiting list until I get 2 Fed Ex shipping notices.

I'm still going to get the exclusive Vampire Buffy for the Tombstone but a lame Sunnydale yearbook isnt worth paying the extra money and dealing with the hassle. I really hope they stick to boom boxes and dead birds so I never have to preorder a figure directly from them again.

[prophecygirl]

I've still not heard anything from Sideshow about any of these figures. maybe it's 'cause I'm in the UK.

[buffyfannumerouno]

I just got a shipping notice that my Exclusive Oz w/tshirt has shipped. I can't wait to get him. Xander will be up next for shipping, I"ll be a lot happier when I get a shipping notice that he is shipping.
