    Sayid and Miles are spot on, the rest of them have awful sculpts, no likeness whatsoever. And that pregnant belly is a joke, just loose it.
    These are from different sculpters, no? I can't understand how anyone could be dead on with one sculpt and so far off with the next. Find a good sculpter and let him do all the work cause right now this looks ridiculous.

        i am still excited about this line but I fear with all the delays interest will die off quickly and many key characters will not get done.....I know the delays were so the product could be improved, and I am all for it, but wave one just keeps getting pushed back (january last I checked).
        I plan on getting every one they make though, I will support the line at least

            I think it's the paintjob on the eyes that's causing the most trouble. The Juliet looks fine, but she and Claire are both looking bug-eyed. Same with Sawyer, I think the head is there but the paintjob is throwing it off. Hard to tell with Jack, he's a hard likeness to nail.

            I wish the photos were done differently. A 3/4 angle, a bit more dynamic pose would help sell them.

              Knocked up Clair is pretty funny. The look in here eye's is like and expression are like Uh oh, my water just broke. Either that or she has gas.

                Just noticed the Sayid figure has the swivel biceps. I wonder if the other ones have them or original biceps.

                    I'm eyeballing Miles as a Superfriends Samurai custom base.

                        I have to question how BBP can be so dead on with Twilight Zone and Venture Brothers for example and totally off on this line.....These figures are Lost in more ways than one

                          The same could be said about Buck Rogers, Captain Action, and anything else that I don't care about.

                            I know what you mean. The realistic characters with likenesses that are very fresh in our minds are more challenging than the cartoons and the black and white TWZ figures with their interesting iconic outfits. I know I've said it before, but these looked amazing in person, something is really getting lost in the photos.

                            I do think the character choice is a drawback, and that may be ABC's call. Claire is not at the top of the favorites list--if she got made at all it should be to pair with Charlie-- other than the pregnancy there isn't much to work with, and the stuffed belly thing isn't great. Crazy Claire maybe, but a good Desmond or Daniel would have been more welcome in Wave 2.

                            I care a lot, I really want these figures, but it's an uphill battle. Most people won't want to (should have to) customize them as much as I do.

                              Well I guess since Jack, Sawyer & Sayid are in this wave, that pretty much ends this toy line. Who's left?

                                I'm not big on the stuffed suit choice for Hurley or Darkseid, but it makes sense for Claire... that way in one figure you get the original pregnant Claire and a potential dingbats-nuts Claire in one. Just grab some CTVT grungy clothes

                                Although they might be missing a fun/creepy opportunity by not going the Barbie route and having the baby or creepy doll inside the fake belly (it could even be like a "blind box" where you don't know if you get Aaron or the creepy doll with the Clair figure.

                                Some of the major characters still missing are Jin and Sun, Charlie, Desmond, and there are shorter lived favourites like Mr Ekko and Daniel.
