Yikes. Between the tousled, matted hair, the eyes and the face... Does anyone else think she looks like Reagan from The Exorcist? Not to say that she doesn't look good or that she looks inaccurate. That figure just reminds me of Reagan for some reason. Other than the scarring on little Ray-Ray's cheeks, they could be sisters!

Yes! Another one. I hope they fix the face though. REALLY hope they fix it.

Does anyone else think she looks like Reagan from The Exorcist? Totally. First thing that popped into my head. It's the eyes, they are very Exorcist-like. And that likeness is horrible, with the giant head and skinny body. This needs a lot of work.

Um, I think it looks just like Darla - if she was 12!!! Seriously, she looks like a little girl. Still, I'll get it even though the school girl look was never one that I liked on this character. Actually hated Darla on BtVS until we started getting the flashback scenes and absolutely loved her character on AtS.
ETA that I do think it looks like a child Darla and the expression is just one that she never used. Either of the expressions in the background pictures would've been much better. I hope they also give her a more mature looking body because the one she's shown in only adds to the childlike look of her.
I think from the upper nose up she looks really good but the mouth/expression below the eyes is all wrong for Darla. Darla always had like this kind of sneer in her expression and never had a pouty, relaxed mouth.

Something seems off to me. I am not so much a fan of this one. I hated the master at first too but he grew on me so maybe she will to!

I think she is going to be one of these figures that looks better in real life. The lips are too shiny right now but we all know the paint job won't look like this when we get her. After really looking at it the sculpt is actually really good - it's just that the mouth looks to pouty and she looks too young. I think they need a little more shadowing around the eyes and need to make her pupils much darker and bigger. And a little shadowing under the nose too to make her face look more detailed would help as well.
I also was not a fan of Liam until I got him and thought he looked much better in real life.

I played with the picture a bit but I'm not very good at this so you'll only get an idea of what I was trying to do. I basically added some more shadowing under her eyes and nose, closed her mouth a bit and gave her dark pupils. She still looks too young though.

Now that looks A LOT better. Well the face, the body is still off.

o.o disapointment... I know Sideshow and DST don't work together, but shouldn't Sideshow try to maybe try diffrent figures?
Darla looks good, a bit young, but I can see why they went with a younger Darla. Poor Julie Benz... all these red Darlas and no one to make her a Victorian Darla...

Hmm, maybe they feel they wouldn't be able to justify the cleavage?!! Kidding aside, I was hoping for a Victorian Darla to go with Origin's Angel.

Interesting.... there must be some method to Sideshow's choices. Do the monster/vamp dolls sell better than the human faces? I thought the core characters were the top sellers. I'll get her, I don't think the face sculpt is bad at all in fact, I think it looks really good. the head to body proportions need to be fixed and the figure needs to be sexed up a little - c'mon its Darla!
It's funny how this line keeps plugging along with release after release. It seems like there are always rumors about the line going under or on hiatus and then -- BOOM --- we get another new annoucement. It's almost like Sideshow is messing with our heads while building up anticipation for Cordy, Giles, Dawn, Tara, etc. I kind of like the randomness of their release chronology. ;D
They have done a really awesome job with the last few releases including both versions of OZ, Liam and Xander. However, if they send me something that looks like the new pictures of (Malibu)Punk Spike that they have recently posted on their site it will be sent right back to them. I forgave them for Faith and I let the Willow debacle go but the thing in those pictures looks truly atrocious. No thanks.

I think that she needs to be a little paler, and her body looks really small. She also doesn't resemble Julie Benz at all, they need to work with the face a little more.

That expression really throws me.
Its not even menacing. Its a kinda "ooops I spilt the milk" or "ooops I've broken a nail" kind of shocked/hurt look?
Yet another reason why I don't think I'll ever collect the 12" figures as much as I kinda really want to.
Cheers, Haeph.

Yeah, just read that too over on that site. She's really grown on me. I think the sculpt is good with the exception of the mouth being too pouty and her looking young but if the sculptor himself said that the body issue has already been fixed then I think she'll look great. I love this line and think these figures always look better in real life than they do in the posted pictures so I'm looking forward to her.
