They look great.

I just hope McF sticks with this line long enough to do a 2nd wave and give us the rest of the main characters.

Also annoyed that Wesley only has a masked headsculpt. I'm guessing we either won't be getting an unmasked head, or McF will pull his usual crap and release an exclusive version that is nearly identical, except for an alternate unmasked head.

I would say the same if not for Andre. Seriously, they managed to get the other 3 damn near perfect but really dropped the ball on Fezzik! Ohh well 3 out of 4 aint bad?

[Road Pig]

So glad someone is giving this line some attention. But I do think Andre looks like that botched Jesus painting in Spain that was restored...

Inigo looks great. I am sure they will do an unmasked Wesley.

Butter Cup needs some work. Andre looks okay, same as masked Wesley.

Must buy! I NEED A SERIES 2!

[dukefett]

I like the rest and I'll buy the whole wave but man, Andre looks horrendous. How do you mess up a giant with a big face and huge features?

[Krydion]

I'm just glad to be able to give my NECA Wesley some company at last. Hopefully the scale is right.

[Harbinger]

Im just gonna switch that head with one from andres wwf figs. Hope wes has an unmasked head.

[deecee4]

Wesley looks great! Hope the ankles on him aren't total shit like on the Bowie Jareth figure.

[kollekxon]

Andre needs to be redone. Wesley is okay. The other two are decent.

[Harbinger]

I really want a miracle max and wife, visini and count rugen!

[IzzyTipsy]

Andre doesn't look THAT bad.

I mean, at least he somewhat looks like Andre compared to the DC Multiverse figures which look nothing like the actors.

[AceSimulacrum]

Looks pretty good, not so much on Buttercup and Fezzik. Think its the eyes on Andre, proportion and detailing that looks off. Inigo's face sculpt is decent enough, though his special rapier looks a bit off scale at least for the guard. But as per, dont think there will be figures at this scale for awhile, so...

[ghostbogey]

Andre "The Giant" is a must....
The rest...
I would pass..

"The Giant" forever!!!! =^)

[immortalslayer9]

I really need to get around to watching this movie someday.

[dukefett]

I'm just going to see how these look in person, if Andre somehow doesn't turn out looking like a troll I'll pick them up.

[Comedian]

Ordered! Now get me some “adventures in babysitting” figures and I’m complete.

Hahaha! Dude, there are some random-ass movies I would love toys for, but I have never thought of Adventures in Babysitting. But now that you mention it, damn. I would buy a figure of Handsome John Pruitt so fast.

I've waited all these years for Princess Bride figures and these are pretty disappointing. I guess my expectation was high, I expected better likeness from McFarlane.

McFarlane generally doesn't do good likenesses. Many of their faces based on actor likenesses come off as too soft and barely resemble the actor. NECA would have been better off revisiting this license. Their headsculpts would have been better and they would have probably included alternate heads (like an unmasked Wesley head) and more accessories too.

I was SO excited at first as well about these.. for, all of the above reasons, the movie being practically universally known and adored by many.. I DO WISH THEY MADE THE FACES BETTER UGGHHHHH. Wesley face to small, ill-proportioned, Buttercup's likeness to Robin Wright, yes " soft", Inigo- SORT of, kinda, almost there but, it also could've been more refined. And Fezzik.. oh, how they missed the ball a bit on this epic character, from the epic movie, with the features and paint on this icon of a person in his own right.. The Hair looks like a melted chocolate cap with 2 butterfingers for sideburns.

I'm still holding out for Real Genius and Revenge of the Nerds figures.

Yes! Honestly, I'm shocked that Revenge of the Nerds hasn't gotten a ReAction line yet. Seems so perfect.
