Yeah this is so great! I wonder when the pics of the rest will surface. I am loving that EOD Buffy! And once again the sculpt for Faith looks to be flawed. But that is fine with me, from what I can see she looks great. I think if they would have aquired a scan of Ms. Dushku, it would have been better. But still, new Faiths can only equal good!

Faith looks cool, but 'End of Days' Buffy looks amazing! I can't wait to get them!

Thanks CosmicSpidey,
The Faith looks great, apart from the face. It really doesn't look like Faith to me (especially the eyes, they seem really "squinty"). I'll still get it, but I kinda prefer MAC's sculpt to this one (at the moment and based on a single picture).
The End of Days Buffy looks pretty great. Does anyone know where you can find pics of each of the characters from the specific episodes? I thought that Buffy wore black pants, white top and black jacket in End of Days (but obviously was wrong).
Will Bad Girls Faith be the same as the 12" version of Faith I wonder?
Looking good. And sounds like they're to be released at the same time. Now they just need to announce a concrete release date and I can start counting down.
Cheers, Haeph.

I dont know about Faith. I think we need more pictures.
I wasn't going to buy the regular Buffy because of the joints, but End of Days Buffy looks much better with the jacket. I may get that one.

Yeah her eyes do look really small or squinty. Eliza's eyes are big. So I think that they might be going for that sexy half closed look.

Okay. When I saw Faith I must say I was a little discouraged. Her face is far from perfect, but the best one to date. I was happy to see the figures look really nice with their jackets though. And then when "End of Days" Buffy loaded, I almost burst out with joy. That is the most amazing buffy figure I have seen. I am really happy with the way the line is turning out. The ball joints at the hips still bug me. But with face sculpts like that I can't be dissapointed. They look awsome.

I really love these figures. I can't wait to get all of them. It's good to know that the variants that we have heard of are going to be reality. I can't wait to see pics of all the other variants. I also can't wait to see Angel and Spike.

I new this was going to be shown this week!!! with the buffy week at action-figure and all, I,m stating to thing we probably see the anya boxset too and since all delux figure are confirmed I'm sure the anya set will include d'hoffryn at that is great!!!
End of day buffy is pribably the most beautiful buffy figure that have been ever made from mac to sideshow.
my real problem is with faith I know they didn't have a scan of elhiza (can you tell me why she never got scan? mac didn't for the bust nor the figure, sideshow didn't and now dst) ok faith got good hair, but that face remind me alot of the sideshow one, look at the space between her nose and her mouth, same problem, but the major problem is the eyes, just like graduation day buffy, anyway this is probably not the final paint,
all in all, this is good for the buffy figure line love dst, wonderfull scuplt, hair, face, and every new figure is episode specific, from now on I definitly think that every figure is going to be episode specific!!! and that is cool!

D'oh.
June it is then. Wouldn't really consider that to be "early" 2005 myself.
It will be nice to see the other variants and the figures in "full length" shots, but if we've got over 6 months to go, I might tone down my excitement a little.
While its great having all this news, sometimes I find that by the time a figure is released I've lost all interest because I'm more interested in something else that is being released at a later date. Hopefully won't happen with these fgures though.
Cheers, Haeph.

I'm just as hyped as you, Haeph, but I too really hate how long this whole process is taking!!! However, I believe it was stated that Faith & Buffy would be made around the same time but that Buffy may possibly be released earlier or later (most likely earlier). They definatley need to thin out Buffy's neck or make it long though, she looks a little stubby...but still damn pretty! The jacket hanging on her is unavoidable though because SMG is so thin.
Okay, now I've been thinking about Faith as a character for a while now because I've just been dying for this figure and I gotta say...I'm not too impressed. The face is too long, Eliza Dushku may have defined cheekbones but she has a rounder face. The mouth looks a little tight too which is totally not Eliza, her lips are sexier and fuller for sure. The brow isn't low enough either! Eliza doesn't nessesarily have small, squinty eyes just because she had that Faithy scowel on occassion- it's her brow that gives that impression of tough-girlness. And the eyes...oh my god THE EYES! When is DST gonna learn? The eyes show truth, emotion, personality...they're easily the most defining characteristic on a persons face (aside from the nose)!!!! Eliza has rounder and almondie eyes and since Faith wore so much eye makeup they also always looked much bigger especially during the third season so they definatley have to work on that! The current figure looks like a cross between Joss Stone & Chyna and while Joss Stone is very pretty...if you put to much Chyna into a girl she'll look like kind of like a slutty hitwoman...or a man and we really don't want that.
DST- you gotta work on this one!! I have FAITH in your guys.
PS- It looks like that picture is a little distorted, do you think maybe it was at the wrong angle when you scanned it?

They both look amazing! Faith is really good. They just need to fix up the eyes a bit and it will be perfect.

PS- It looks like that picture is a little distorted, do you think maybe it was at the wrong angle when you scanned it? I actually don't have a scanner. It's a pic from a digital camera, and I had to take it at a bit of an angle to avoid a glare right in the middle of it. It's pretty true to the magazine, though. I wasn't that impressed with the Eliza likeness, either.

I think they made the anti-mistake, and didn't add enough eye makeup...if you cover them with something she looks great otherwise. I can't believe the detail on the shirt!

Faith looks ok, but she needs to be less squinty and have more of a pout.
End of Days Buffy is Kick ASS!! I love that hair!

They are so impressive. I ahve changed my mind and am going to get the complete line of these figures. They look totally kickass. Bravo DST cause these have really got me interested in starting to collect deluxe figures and not just the standard 6".

End Of Days buffy RULES! Faiths eyes and lips are bugging me though, other than that she is good.
