I do hope that they tweak the likeness of Faith. She does look more like Kennedy than Faith; but then that's a good thing for customizing a Kennedy I guess. Not being artistic, I don't understand either why it's so difficult to get Eliza's look down on the figures when they come so close on the others. Still, great to have them all. And great hopes of more to come!

I love these figures, faith looks fine to me...I cant wait to get them all. One request though...Make GD Faith's hair straight please.
I will be buying each and every one of these...and any other Faith's they produce. I would LOVE another batch of standard Faiths...especially of her in that hot outfit from the club scene of the angel episode "5 by 5"...
Buffy looks great too, she gets 2 hairstyles so hopefully they will change Faith's I'm getting all of them, I just hope and pray that DST's first batch doesnt suffer from "tight joint/easy breakage" syndrome. I want my superposeable figures to be sturdy!

I do not like Faith. Looks nothing like her. Buffy is cool though. She needs a "harder" look on her face, it's too unemotional

Once more with feelings is the best, she hides the joints very well, end of days comes with the scythe so it is perfect too. Faith it is not so good right now.

I don't like the sculpt for Faith's face. and There defintely needs to be more variety In the hair for both figures. especially OMWF Buffy. The jackets look a bit to bulky. But good choices for variants. Of course I'll get them all.

i don't know if someone see that, the jacket of Buffy is the same jacket of Faith, that was odd. Also all the body is the same one, the body of Buffy is the body of Faith.

What would be the point in making 2 bodies? long pants and a shirt. They wore the same jacket, again, what's the point in wasting money on a product theyre making for the first time by making 2 separate bodies just because one's chest is bigger than the other. That amount of accuracy can be spared for these, these are actually toys. It's not like reusing a regular figure where theyre stuck in a pose.

All the Buffies rule! (Esp. OMWF Buffy), I like Bad Girls Faith, but find the rest fairly boring.

I'm really starting to like Faith more. The ToyFare picture looks so much better in the actual magazine, and I'm starting to see a resemblance to Eliza in these latest pics. The thing is, this is an Eliza face sculpt, not Faith. When I picture Faith, I think season three and four. Not seven and Angel four. Eliza's face changed a lot in the intervening three years, and this sculpt reflects that. Her jawline and cheekbones changed. Compare these photos and tell me the figure doesn't look like Faith here: www.screencap-paradise.com/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Buf_718dirtygirls&id=DirtyGirls_038and www.action-figure.com/ImageBank+index-id-54466.htmlI bet that the face was sculpted based on the photo of Faith with the knife when she first came back on Buffy in season seven. She's wearing the red shirt/blue jacket combo, and the expression is very similar. I can't find the picture, but you all probably know which one I'm talking about. I think the figure can be improved if they add more eyeliner to her lower eye, and some eye shadow, at least to the season three Faiths. That would definitely help with the look. Also, darkening the hair on those Faiths would be another good idea.

Well, after closely examining these pictures I’ve found two things that bother me. First one, is the fact they used the same hair on both GD Buffy and OMWF Buffy, and that’s a shame because in OMWF Buffy had long, curly hair while in GD she had a much shorter hair and too bad that DST simply discarded it. The second nitpick is about EoD Buffy’s jacket, it’s too light and robber-like, while it should be a dark blue denim jacket.
If only DST would’ve fixed those things, these three Buffy figures would’ve been perfect.

Compare these photos and tell me the figure doesn't look like Faith here: The figure doesn't look like Faith. Not even remotely. The shape of the face is off. Faith/Eliza's face is rounder, not the weirdly accentuated cheekbones of the figure. The eyes are way, way off. Eliza/Faith has rounder eyes, and the left eye tilts a little bit, which is very a distinctive trait of hers. The final test is this: If someone were to put this figure in front of me with no context & I had no idea that a Faith figure was on the way, I would not be able to tell that it was Faith.
