Michael Crawford's latest review is of all of the new and upcoming Buffy and Faith deluxe action figures. Another great review from Michael with some great pictures of the girls in action. I may just have to pick some of these up! Check it out at www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_060305a.htm. - Andrew |

OMG! These are awesome! AND THEY'RE OUT!!! *Does the Dance of Joy* I am so getting these. The Buffy's look excellent! Graduation Day Faith looks a little weird without the Jacket though  |

Whoa, slow down there buckaroo - they aren't out yet. The Buffy Gods smiled upon me and I managed to get them a little early, but they should be on pegs in the next 2 to 3 weeks tops. I had planned on giving the board a sneak preview on Wednesday night, but that damn upgrade messed up my timing! www.mwctoys.comMichael MWC |

EOD Buffy looks to be the top o' the stack, huh? The eyes on "Graduation" Buffy inspire some cringey feelings and Faith has her more obvious flaws but these figures are KILLER!

Wow! Great review, Michael! Now I’m even more inpatient to get these figures.  |

I love these.They are brilliant. Although it sucks that the coated arms have a cut bicep but no ball joint and the bare arms have ball joint but no cut bicep. Michael how did you get the figures weeks in advance.

One correction: the original Faith figure was done by MAC, no Diamond involved. And I guess to be really picky, that stake isn't Mr. Pointy (which was Kendra's and has a distinct look). But that's hardcore fan nit-picking.
Man, that Faith does look a lot like the Sideshow one too. Every comment about her is dead on, especially head size. The hair being a bit too high on both them definitely stands out to me too. Fair criticism of the neck joint. Ball-jointed would have made a lot more sense. After all, these two don't fly and that's when you need that pin joint in the neck. All of these things seem like simple fixes... hopefully they'll do more deluxe and address these issues.

These are great but why do the Buffys have blue eyes instead of green and why is EOD Buffy squinting so much?

I really like EOD Buffy, the other Buffy's are o.k too
I still don't like the Faith's, so i probably will only get the Buffy's

Also the scythe looks kinda off to me for some reason. My favourite Buffy is omwf and my fave Faith bad girls just because she has the dark makeup. I think Grad Faith would look better with bg Faith Head and also with straight hair

It's good they won't be out for 2-3 weeks. I have no money for these. I don't have the Spikes, Darlas, or the Vengeance boxed set yet. |

I'm giddy waiting for EOD Buffy.
The Faiths aren't as wonderful as I wish they could be, but I'll pick up at least one anyway. Most likely BG Faith, since she has the darker make-up and looks the best IMO.

I like EOD Buffy and Faith, and also Graduation day Buffy, but they'll probably be the only ones i pick up. The other Faiths just dont appeal to me.....at all. The head sculpt doesnt seem accurate and doesnt do Eliza much justice, and her face seems stretched so her chin looks very long. Im happy with the Buffys tho  |

Wow I haven't been around in a while (been bogged under with exams), I gotta say these are looking good. Not too keen on the Faiths but the Buffys are great. And there out in the next couple of weeks Yay! Can't wait to own them
