They are quite busy at the moment, but all should arrive before the end of this week.
The Library was $95AU on sale...reduced from $135AU.
The Book of Vengeance was reduced to $25AU from $50.
I'll have to check out all those BTVS threads about constructing the playset, I believe people said there are a few tricky aspects to it, such as the stair railings.
Really excited about both items. It will be great to have an all new figure in D'Hoffryn....plus some more Anya's (gotta love Anya!).
Did anyone here have the playset?

I don't find the Marvel Legends figure articulation as intrusive as that on the Buffy figures. The Buffy figs look anorexic (which wasn't far from the truth for some of the real life actors) and the joints bulge out making them bulky and unappealing. I like a lot of the ML stuff, but I have not liked any of the Deluxe figures except the guys. It seemed to work a little better on them.

Even though I'm not a collector of the Buffy figures I have been following them. I was upset for the collectors when they announced the Dru, Oz and Wood wave would be the last. I remember reading somewhere that they said they had run out of characters to produce and then straight after that they announce the release of the Kennedy and Kendra figures. I don't see why they couldn't have released them as regular figures.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the added articulation, especially on these slayers but I don't see why Willow is getting the same treatment, exept for the fact that she was a popular main character.
Well that's my rambling finished.
Take care,

The ML female figures look just as bad if not worse. Its very difficult to get a certain level of articulation on the slender female form. Cases in point Scarlet Witch, Emma Frost. The Diamond Select Emma looks so much better because it has less artculation. The ML looks weird. Female figures have to lose some movement in order to fit in the same scale as the guys. Ive yet to see it done by any company where the female looks right with the same number of points of articulation.

Received the Library playset today!!!
Which was a nice surprise as I only just received the e-mail confirmation that it had been sent this morning!
It took me a while to put together
It really does look awesome when complete. Makes me sad that it sold so poorly.
The Book of Veneance is also a very nice set. Great to finally have D'Hoffryn & Anyanka. The Anya figure would have to be my fave Anya now...she is really cute.

I think it really depends on how big/thick they make the figure. The Strom figure looked nice because of the costume. The Psylocke figure I was OK with but wasnt floored. I just think that female figures should have less articulation as a rule and then if the character dictates more it should be added. For instance I think Buffy should have more while it doesnt need to be there for Willow. I rememeber when "super articulation" was an action feature on a figure and not the norm. It can be a very difficult balancing act for any company.

I think the Phoenix was one of the best figures they produced!!!

So do people here still like these new Buffy Revamped figures?
The only interest I can find in these is the diorama's included with the figures, which are pretty sweet.
This is not a case where I would say "Well, atleast the line is still going"...because I do not find this a continuation of the action figure line at all....but thats just me.
I don't think I would buy them even if the facial paint schemes were a step up from the action figures (which they do not seem to be).
And I doubt we'd see any new characters.

I just wish they would have kept on going with the regular line and the Deluxe line.

The deluxe line is still going ahead is it not?
When is that Willow/Kennedy/Kendra wave appearing?

Oh you mean the anorexia nervosa line? Its still coming out, but we haven't had an update in a looong time from the few remaining regular Buffy figures.

Hmmm....
I guess the only option was to have them dripping with grease like TNG wave 3.
I gather they did not go with that option.
I hope they don't break....luckily, I have never had a DST figure break. Though I never bought any of the Xander/Cordy wave.
Kendra is awesome. Very nice. It is good to finally have someone in the line who is not caucassian.
Both Kennedy & Kendra look better with the jackets.
Kennedy is ok...nothing amazing. She kinda has a glimpse of the actress, but I only know from pictures I just looked at on google. The eyes & lips are right...but the eyebrows are too generic. Kennedy is apparently the most annoying character to come from Buffy...yet I don't even remember her! (but thats no surprise !)
