I'm not a fan of these so far, the only one I like is bloody Spike (the others could grow on me).
Not pleased with the fact they have vamp faces on and not human, unless they have interchangeable heads, curious about the others exclusives though

Not so impressed with Angel, but Spike looks good. I think Angel looks too scrawny, but that's just my opinion at the moment, the final product might look different. Spike's neck bugs me in one pic though.

Un-bloody Spike's neck is kinda long, isn't it? Their legs look like an improvement on the marionette-looking ones Buffy and Faith had, though.

Spike looks pretty good, I must say. An excellent face sculpt! But I'm not keen at all on Angel. His body is hideously out of proportion and ugly. I like the blood, and I guess the accessories are cool though. Still need some work.

Hmm I like the grimace on Bloody Spike's face, for some reason Bloody Angel looks like he stuck his face in strawberry jam to me.
The necks do appear to be too long and skinny. I think that's what making Angel looks so weird, because I actually think the face sculpt is pretty good.

Not bad, not bad. Not happy about them all being in vampface, and I agree that Angel looks like he's been on a crash diet!
Yes, Spike's neck is too long, and dear god that goblets huge in comparison with their bodies, but hey, that won't put me off buying them.

I think they look pretty cool! I just hope there is human varients!

Meh... Angel's head is nice, but his body looks horrid... Spike face looks better here then the other figures, much skinnier...
I dunno... I don't think they look as great as they could have been.

I think they are ok. They're not amazing but they're not bad. I do love the battle-damage though. I wish that they were in their human faces and not vamp faces. Hopefully the exclusives will have human faces. Now bring on the exclusives!

i think they look ugly they just dont look like the guys Angel is to skinny, doesnt look like him in Season 5 AT ALL (this is just my opinion) and they dont look like they have their vamp faces on, previous figures have shown them off better idk, they just dont look right to me

I was a little shocked at the fact that the regular figures have vamp faces. I would have thought they would be regular with the bloody chases being vamped. Oh, well, I'm sure some of the variants will be regular faced. I guess this answers the question as to weather or not we would be getting vampire varients...now the question is will we be getting regular ones.

Cool!! I like all of them. The neck does seem a bit too long and skinny though. DST will probably fix that before the release I'm sure. Good job DST!!!

I really like them a lot. Although they have a few faults, I'm sure that DST will correct any problems with the figures. As for the other variants, I'm guessing that they will be of their human faces. I'm just wondering if we will see pics of them after Toy fair is over.

I may be in the minority but I think these figures are awesome! Sure they have a few flaws that need to be worked out and I am sure that DST will take care of that.
I believe that the reason that they chose to do the regular figures with vamp faces is because they are deluxe figures that can be posed in fighting poses, and if I remember correctly, in most battle scenes,(and in the episode from which these figures are based ) during the heat of battle, both Spike and Angel usually "Vamped Out". That is my Theory...I may be wrong but regardless I love these figures. I am sure that DST will also do Human Face variants of these figures, which will also be awesome!

i think its also the first time a dlx fig comes with a "base" the stand next to angel.. does anyone notice at the vamp angel pic, there is actually a PLASTICINE (sticky blue thing) in his left hand to allow the metal rod thingy to be hold in his hands???

Not too bad.
Necks do appear to be too long (but, hopefully they don't get shrunk down to Fred's neck like proportions).
Dissapointing that it Angel doesn't appear to be able to hold the accessories. And as Spike claimed the cup, shouldn't he come with it?
Also, very dissapointed in vamp versions being the "regular" versions. I don't think I'll be getting any of these four figures.
I'm still holding out hope for a OMWF/Season 2 "human" faced Spike and pretty much any "Buffy" based Angel with "human" face. Hopefully they will announce the variants at Toy Fair.
Definitely still room for improvement, but DST do have time to make the required changes.
Cheers, Haeph.

hm...im really on the fence with these figs. I think i'll have to see them in person before i decide. And i agree with the various neck/body comments on the two. They could be fixed to be better.
