I did the same thing after I last posted. I showed the ToyFare picture to someone who likes Faith, and she had no idea who it was supposed to be. I told her Faith, and she said that it was awful.

Well I bet that it will look better after some changes are made. Even though the sculpt is a bit flawed, different paint apps can mean a world of difference.

i think they r great, sure the faiths havent got a great likeness, but i dont care. the fact is dst are giving us a new line of buffy and faith figures, this could mean the world to a customiser.....its amazing what a coat of paint could do to a figure like faith -wayne

Here's what I have in mind for Faithy Improvements Eyes- The need to be rounder! I added some brownish eyeshadow (it looks really good on Eliza) and I put some mascara in there as well. Lips- I softened the upper lip and kind of shrunk it as well by giving the lower lip more space. I changed that shade of whore pink to something a little more subtle and sexy too. Eye brows- Faith/Eliza has rather flat eyebrows so it seemed to make sense. I also made them a lighter color and thinned them up a bit. Cheekbones- Does anyone notice those marks around her nose? I softened em up a little. Skin tone- Faith's got a bit more color to her skin.

better...
i will get these...but probably only one of each of the faiths...and maybe multiple hair up buffy's for customs. It will depend on how much in scale they are with the other figs. I am sure i will repaint the faith figs to look more like Eliza though.

i will believe the scale when i see it. I am unconvinced that those heads will look the same when transplanted onto a MAC body or even a dst body. They seem bigger to me.

Thanks CowboyGuy and IdoDoodle! Now here's what I'm thinking for Buffy Improvements - Eyes- Just a tad bigger to get rid of that bedtime Buffy look - Eyebrows - SMG rarely has eyebrows that strong, I softened em up a bit. - Lips - Again I got rid of the whore pink color. - Skin tone- I don't know why Buffy looks so yellow so I changed it to something that's a little more lifelike. If DST works on the likeness of their figures, the body and all the joints will not be as distracting. Hopefully, they'll make these changes on their own over time (it certainly has happened before) but I'm just hoping they go the extra mile to make these as best as possible.

I like them all except "End of days" Faith. That figure makes the reusage of parts alot more blatent. I'd much prefer a "Salvage" Faith.
I like the modifications Glory. Hope DST considers your suggestions.

Wow, Glory, you did it again. I strongly suggest one of ours PTB to send your suggestions to DST so they could consider (and hopefully) changing the final products.
