I'd want characters like Willow, Xander, Giles, Anya, etc to stay in the current line. Thats what I want too. I mean we didnt see Willow High Kicking or Anya Backfliping in the show did we! lol!

I know I've already put in my two cents, but I have two more.
I would love to see a slayer line with Buffy, Faith, Kendra, and the First Slayer. (just those four, not the slayer wanabes)
Werewolf Oz would be cool also because you could pose him in the crouching position...but a full werewolf, not mid transformation.

Now, if Buffy had began as a more articulated toy line... Then I could see doin all of the Scoobs and some baddies that way. But this is something special. A Super-figure among so many already made. IMO that much articulation on a figure is a gift. Not many deserve it, especially in the Buffy lines. With Marvel Legends, OK Of course every last one should have at least 46 pts (The current record I think..) But the scoobies, and even some of the baddies were just not that mobile... So hopefully we will get more super posable figures, but not too many. Give us this Buffy (No varients please...), Faith, Spike, and Angel. While all awesome in their own ways, the rest of the gang just isnt SP material IMO. And to add on what was said before. A lot of articulation on bare skin looks odd. But so does a lot of articulation on regular ppl. The Legends are SUPERHEROS, they are built n cut and all that so articulation is easier to coverup or work around with them. There are no real defining stand-out muscles or features on the Buffys... So thats why I say the character needs to deserve the extra mile, or else it would ruin the character's figure... *shrugs* ^_^

I say just Faith and Kendra like someone said earlier make it a slayer thing. I wonder how much theses are going to cost? I'm going broke!

I wnat Buffy, Faith, and Illyria. Maybe a Spike, but the regular spikes are pretty articulated! I saw a couple people post Dark Willow as a deluxe they wanted and although I HIGHLY doubt they would to that, bercause Dark Willow did do a good bit of fighthing, and because she is the coolest villain/character, I tihnk that would be cool too. Deluxe Illyria is what I wnat the most!

It would be really sweet if DST released two deluxe figures at a time to commemorate historic battles in Buffyverse history. It would be preferrable to have deluxe connecting bases too that form one elaborate diorama. Some ideas: - "Graduation Day" Buffy vs. Faith w/ rooftop or Faith's apt base (this is a given)
- "Becoming" Angel vs. Buffy w/ courtyard bases
- "Prophecy Girl" Buffy vs. The Master w/ Master's Lair base
- "What's My Line" Buffy vs. Spike w/ church rubble bases
- "Becoming" Kendra vs. Drusilla w/ library bases
- "The Zeppo" Xander vs. Jack (somehow incorporate an image of Buffy & Scoobies battling to close the hellmouth in the background of figure's base/diorama - a great tribute to my favorite character)
- "Hush" Buffy vs. Gentlemen Minions w/ clocktower bases
- "Who Are You" Buffy vs. Faith w/ church altar bases
- "The Yoko Factor" Riley vs. Angel w/ alley bases
- "Primevil" Buffy vs. Adam w/ Initiative bases
- "Restless" Buffy vs. First Slayer
- "Buffy vs. Dracula" duh
- "Fool for Love" Spike vs. Nikki the Slayer w/ subway bases
- "Tough Love" Willow vs. Glory w/ Glory's suite base
- "The Gift" Buffy vs. Glory w/ tower bases
- "OMWF" Buffy vs. a few random demons or vamps that appear in the opening song "Going Through the Motions" w/ graveyard bases
- "Smashed" Buffy vs. Spike w/ falling building bases (could be the most erotic action figure set ever created)
- "Grave" Giles vs. Dark Willow w/ wrecked Magic Box bases
- "Selfless" Buffy vs. Anyanka w/ frat bases
- "Cov w/ Dead People" Buffy vs. Holden w/ tomb bases
- "Showtime" Buffy vs. Ubervamp w/ construction site bases
- "End of Days" Buffy vs. Caleb w/ winery bases
- ... and of course an epic "Chosen" boxset

I couldnt agree more. Lots of articulation is for people who move a lot AKA the slayers and vampires and like. Buffy, Faith, Spike, Angel, Illyria would be what I would want. Actually, I tihnk Buffy and Illyria would be fine. Regular spike is articulated enough, although another Angel might be nice. Illyria NEEDS to have alots of articulation so she can be set in cool fighting-slow-mo poses. I hope that when(/if) Illyria is made, they will make her more articulated than Spike, but not as articulated as Buffy. Plus, c'mon people, SUPER ARTICULATED PROPHECY GIRL BUFFY!?!?!? I think thats crazy, she was wearing a DRESS for crying out loud! She wasnt doing high kicks and back flips over and over. WHat are you gonna wnat next, Super Articulated OMWF Tara!?

I'm a sucker for super articulation. I'd like....
Buffy Faith Spike Angel
and maybe some more demons vamps. No non-fighting characters because it wouldn't look right having a super-poseable Xander. Lol.

I think i will be realistic too
The GD buffy, a GD Faith Becoming Buffy, Becoming Angel, Becoming Kendra Werwolf oz and veruca Buffy bot, from The Gift Amanda, Kennedy, Rona, Vi, from Chosen Buffy End of Day or showtime and a Turok Han
(I think charaters like the potentiel have probably more chance on being release in this line since, I think the body sclupt is less expensive to make....)
Each figure line could be release betteen the regular Mac version figure so in three months we would be getting a regular serie and a delux serie(2 charater for the delux with a max of 1 variant for each figure)

I'd be happy with:
1. Faith 2. Angel 3. Spike
I'd be estatic with:
4. Illyria 5. Dark Witch Willow 6. Uber-Vamp (with alternate heads to build and army) 7. The Beast 8. The Master 9. Adam 10. Wesley (though I know highly unlikely, maybe Connor or even Gunn)
Cheers, Haeph.
P.S. Heck, I don't really care. I'll buy pretty much whatever super-poseable figures they put out.

I'm sorry, but I just don't like them all that much. I much more prefer the original figures to the superposable ones. I think it's great that they are being offered for all you people who like them, but they are just not for me I don't think. Maybe I'll get the Buffy and my mind will be changed.

I like everyone's idea of Great Battles, because there's been a bunch!
I haven't seen many people mention him, but CONNOR would be a prime candidate for this line. His name was the Destroyer, and he kicked ass. Just think of a snarling face sculpt and all this articulation, he'd be awesome.
I like the idea of between the regular sets, these super-posable figures get released. Most of these have been said already, but they bear repeating. This would also cover almost all of the good villains, since it is hard to work them into regular lines. Also, Buffy herself always looked really good in season finales, and that makes these sets even easier to sell.
Buffy vs. The Master (Prophecy Girl) Buffy vs. Angelus (Becoming) Buffy vs. Kendra (What's My Line?) Buffy vs. Faith (duh) Buffy vs. Riley (Hush) Buffy vs. Adam (Primeval, new Adam sculpt) Buffy vs. The First Slayer Buffy vs. Dracula Buffy vs. Glory (The Gift) Buffy vs. Sweet's Puppet Minions (Once More, With Feeling, final outfit) Buffy vs. Dark Willow (Grave) Buffy vs. Anya (Selfless- because Anya, with a sword=HOT) Buffy vs. Ubervamp (Showtime) Buffy vs. Caleb (Chosen- with her final battle outfit)
For Angel: Angel vs. Spike (Destiny) Angel vs. Lindsey (You're Welcome) Angel vs. Gwen (Red leather alert!) Angel vs. Hamilton (Not Fade Away) Angel vs. Vocah (To Shanshu in LA- Vocah was cool!) Angel vs. Groosalug Angel vs. Holtz (Removable Coat) Angel vs. Illyria (Shells) Angel vs. Connor
Faith vs. The Beast
I know most of this is wishful thinking, but this is a great way to do most of these characters. Villains like the Mayor, Jasmine, Lilah and Harmony could easily fit into the regular line because they mostly stood there, and it would really keep the whole thing balanced. There are so many possibilities, and the fact that most of the body can be re-used each time (once they get it ironed out), makes it easy to get almost every possible variation of Angel (No coat, short coat, long coat, undershirt, shirtless, business jacket, plain shirt, button shirt, battle damaged, not to mention Vampire!) and Buffy (hairstyles and outfits!).

I'd like a few varients of the Buff.
Prefferably later seasons though...
OMWF (Going Through The Motions) or (Something To Sing About)
End of Days or Chosen
Hush (could be a repaint right? Pink shirt/black pants/leather coat)
Oh and I really like the accessories they sound great

The extra articulation is nice for a few figures, but I hope they don't replace the more "statue" looking full sculpts. I mean sure, it'd be fun to pose Buffy, but all the articulation leads to a figure that has some rather unattractive points.

For me, first of all, Chosen Buffy. Just imagine how cool it would be to pose her the way Buffy was in the last battle (with the Scythe and all).
