Hmmmm.
Cool to look at, but seems a waste since these figures just beg to be opened.
Like that they actually pose the figures in the packaging, much more dynamic.
Hope that seeing as they have a Faith pic right there next to the figure, the likeness is a bit better.
And what is the most recent release date. Packaged pics normally mean they're good to go?
Cheers,
Haeph.

The packaging rules! I really can consider leaving them in the packaging! Or maybe buy 2 sets...  Oh, why does DST have to be so great? |

Damn the perfect packaging  I just recently stopped collecting MOC but once I get these I know I'll regret opening all my other figures  These figures are going to do REALLY well, I can just see them selling out everywhere due to the coolness factor. And that means MORE deluxe figures in the future! |

I think that these will sell VERY well. Especially because the packaging is so awesome. DST is going to be around for A LONG time, and I was kind of worried after seeing the Wes/Lorne line that they had ran out of steam.......HOW WRONG I WAS!

Cool to look at, but seems a waste since these figures just beg to be opened. I don't know if anyone cares, but your comment made me think that I should share this. I hope it can help anyone who cares. I love the packaging and the way the figures look in them. I also like to have my figures loose from time to time. So I devised a strategy for opening the figures while not destroying the card and having only minor controlled damage to the plastic. (That last sentence made me sound like an uber-dork!) The way I figured to open figures and keep the packaging in tacked is to use an x-acto knife on the outer plastiv of the packaging and slide the inner platic that holds the figure out. Make sure you slice either the top or the side of the outer plastic so if you plan to hang the figures in their packaging they will still stay in. I don't know how this will work for the deluxe yet, but I'm sure it will. I works well with the MAC figures, but since DST have taken over, the Buffy/Angel logo on the packaging makes it a bit more difficult to do this from the top. I only do this because my figures rotate. I only display a few at a time, but they constantly rotate. This way, when they are not displayed, they have a "home" to go back to without loosing any parts. I hope I wrote that so it is understandable. |

Ok now people. Hiding your feelings never gets you anywhere...  The bluntness of thet amused me. As for the packages...FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC! I have never been a MOC collector but I am now! I will probably get one extra Buffy and one extra Faith to display in packages. The only other figure I have MOC is my PreProd Package Sample Darla, that I won in one of the forum contests! I also dislike that picture/photo shoot of SMG! I still regret that it is on TWO of our DVD sets! I wish that they would start using the AMAZING picture from Entertainment weekly! |
