Yay, I got my regular version from T&S toys today. Here's a couple of pictures of him: He looks much better in real life than my pictures show. I always have a problem with glare when I take photos of them. His coloring is good and his hands actually match his body and looks like Sideshow made sure of this because they look like they are definitely painted to look that way too (maybe they've been reading everyone's complaints!!). The patch looks good on him but the band on it is thicker than the one pictured on the box and covers his face a bit too much. All in all, I'm very pleased with him. Again sorry for the glare in the pictures and the shadows behind him but when I tried it without the flash I couldn't see him at all in the pictures.

Just checked out the new pictures on Sideshow and have a couple of observations. One is they are showing the red blooded sword and not the green one in the photo so wondering now if we will be getting that with the exclusive (it's the exclusive page I was looking at). The second thing I noticed is in the picture with Xander holding the yearbook, his other hand (left) is not the same hand that comes with him (or pictured in the sword holding photo). It looks like it's Angel's hand because it's got Angel's ring on it and the hand is open whereas the actual figure the hand is closed to hold the sword.
So, even if I don't get the sword with the green blood I won't care too much (even though it would've been cool) because the red blood looks so good on the sword I already have.

There is an entire section in the custom-thread that would help with that. He looks good I guess. His face kind of bugs me, looks to tanned. Um, the eye patch looks silly on him for somereason, since he looks so much like younger Xander and older Xander is a bit more... um... filled out. But none the less, another cool additon.

I think that it would be actually cool for Sideshow to release figures of all of the characters updated from the last season of Buffy, preferably the very last episode "Chosen". I'd love to have a 12" Chosen Buffy with Scythe, a Chosen Faith that actually resembles Faith, Willow that actually resembles Willow, and a Xander with a fuller face. I think that a Spike figure from Beneath you with a Blue shirt and scratches all over his chest would be cool, or with the marks that the Bringers made to bring forth the Turok Han.
