I may be in the minority but I think these figures are awesome! I'm with you- i think these look freaking amazing. The deluxe look seems much better suited to male figures- you don't notice the joints so much. The only nit picky thing i have to say is that it looks a bit like they've dipped their faces in tomato sauce. But on the whole i'm very pleased with these. Can't wait to see the other four.

I think they look good. and I actually like them but I have two complaints. What happened with the necks? They're so long... And what is going on with bloddy angel's face? Its way overdone... and I think the human head would have been nicer. save the vamp head for a deluxe Angelus from season 2 buffy or season 4 angelus... just something that isn't bloddy cause it looks bad. But other than that, I think they look great

I'm a bit surprised that so many people would like a human head instead of a vampire one. I think the vamp heads look great for fighting figures. It makes them so much more aggressive.
I'm hoping that there are no human faced versions of these figures, otherwise that'd mean that 6 of the 8 figures being made were from the same episode.

I love the vampy faces because they look so much more menacing. But what did they do to vamp angels face? squirt some katchup on his head lol I don't mind the vamp face, I just hope they dont make angel look like a frence fry that was just dipped in some katchup....

Eh. They're ok. I'm not totally thrilled with them but hopefully Diamond will make some improvements before they're actually produced. I'm going to go against the tide here and say the bloody ones are a total cop out. It's the exact same figure but just with some red paint splashed on their face. $15 for an exact duplicate with some red smeared on the face? Really? I knew they would use parts over and over but this is just silly.

Welcome! I don't think we've ever had a non-fan of the series here. That's interesting you still collect the figures though. We will get you to watch yet.

They need to title the damaged figures "Falled Down Big Stairs" Angel and Spike^^ It is the only way to go.
But I agree that the joint are better hid, and the jackets look much better then the 6", more detail in them. I think an Angel figure should match up with "End of Days" Buffy and a Spike one with "OMWF" Buffy. It would be nice to see some cross over with the lines.

Wow, a non-fan coming at them from a Friends angle! That's pretty interesting.
As for the figures, I am happy that they met my number 1 priority: Spike's coat looks like it was sculpted and painted by someone who has seen the show before! It is easily the best interpretation of it so far in 6" form. The style of it, the weathered look... it's great. It'll be perfect if the length is long enough and the split in the back is present. Sweet!
Parts reuse is not very noticeable here at all, and I'm pleasantly surprised by that. Angel is a bit slim, but that's to be expected. I assume the legs are the same but the coat is hiding it. It's going to kill me if they're the same height... hopefully there will be a difference somewhere (shoes and lower legs?) that allows Angel to be a bit taller.

YAY!!! We finally have pictures! I'm so excited! Spike's coat looks like it was sculpted and painted by someone who has seen the show before! It is easily the best interpretation of it so far in 6" form. The style of it, the weathered look... it's great. It'll be perfect if the length is long enough and the split in the back is present. Sweet! That's what I'm most excited about. Spike's coat looks fantastic! I love it. I think it's the best Spike coat we've ever gotten. I also really love the look on Spike's face. As soon as I saw it I laughed out loud. I think it suits Spike so well. Parts reuse is not very noticeable here at all, and I'm pleasantly surprised by that. Angel is a bit slim, but that's to be expected. I assume the legs are the same but the coat is hiding it. It's going to kill me if they're the same height... hopefully there will be a difference somewhere (shoes and lower legs?) that allows Angel to be a bit taller. I remember reading in an Ask Diamond that they were going to reuse parts on the Angels and Spikes. I guess I interpreted that as meaning they'd be about the same size. With the Deluxe line I tend to think of the bodies as being less realistic with all the articulation, so the out of scale Angel body is OK with me. Besides, I think he'll be great for Angel from the Buffy years. He looks more like that. The necks ARE too long and skinny. That's OK for Spike, but weird for Angel. I'm completely psyched about the pedestal for the Cup of Perpetual Torment. I've always wanted one. I've searched dollhouse auctions, but never found anything similar.

does anyone know if they are going to do non damaged/non vamp faces on these guys? I would really like an extra bendy spike with a good coat!

I think we can be pretty certain that whatever the other variants are, they will likely have human faces.
