Product Description

What better way to continue and expand the Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure line than by giving the fans what they want? To that end, we?re offering a new super-articulated figure based on the character of Faith (portrayed on the series by the talented Eliza Dushku). This exclusive figure will include 29 points of articulation and a new packaging model. After having spent several years in prison, Faith returned to Sunnydale as represented by this exclusive deluxe figure. The inclusion of Faith?s famous tattoo and the Slayer?s Scythe help portray the delicate balance between fun and responsibility that Faith must maintain.

Faith the Vampire Slayer from the second to last episode of "BtVS"
For the Series 1 deluxe "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" action figures we have three sets of Buffy and Faith. What we have here is the "End of Days" Faith, which has a Buffy counterpart, representing the penultimate episode of the series. This was the episode that started off with Faith getting knocked unconscious by bomb discovered when she was leading the Potentials in a search underground for the mysterious weapon they believe The First to have. That would be the Scythe that Buffy has found and is using to defend herself against Caleb. The Potentials had replaced Buffy with Faith as their leader, but later in this episode the two Slayers will resolve some of their differences (which might explain why the two "End of Days" action figures are both wearing denim jackets).

Underneath the blue denim jacket this 6-inch figure of Faith has a red t-shirt and tan pants. You can remove the arms from the figure, take off the rest of the jacket, and put on a pair of bare arms (with a tattoo on the right arm). The figure comes with an axe tied to her hands with those tiny strips of plastic Diamond Select Toys has been using. The other accessories are a knife and a stake (plenty of those to go around with these figures). The sculpt of Eliza Dushku's face by the folks at Gentle Giant Studio is above average but I am beginning to think that how good of a job they do painting the eyes is more key than the shape of the face and hair.

The reason these are deluxe action figures and not regular action figures is that these ones come with 29 points of articulation: a double one for the neck, shoulders, biceps, above and below the elbows, doubles for the wrists, chest, doubles for the hips, both above and blow the knees, doubles for the ankles, and toes. It took me several of these figures to figure out al 29, by which point I was pretty much convinced this was really overkill. That is because the other key difference between the regular 6-inch "BtVS" and "Angel" figures and these new deluxe action figures is that the latter do not come with bases. Consequently, despite all of those points of articulation you are limited on your posing options if you want your Faith "End of Days" figure to stand up all on her own.

Also included in Series 1 set of deluxe action figures are a set of Buffy and Faith figures for "Graduation Day," the two-part finale from Season 3 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and then a "Once More With Feeling" Buffy from Season 6 and a "Bad Girls" Faith from Season 3 which is very similar to the "Graduation Day" Faith except it has a black vest over a white sweatshirt. Of the three Faith figures I think the "Graduation Day" is the best looking one, mainly because of the black leather jacket. The Series 2 deluxe action figures of Angel and Spike have just come out, and Series 3 with several Willow figures plus the first figures for Kendra and Kennedy have been announced.
