Assemble The Judge. Diamond Select Toys have posted pics of their new Drusilla, Oz, Wood figures with a special Assemble The Judge.

The Marvel Legends figures have that, too, pieces of an extra figure included with a wave. But to do it with the Judge? That's just brilliant. :-D
Is it me or does the Dru doll look more like Cordellia than Drucilla? Juliet has a more oval face than the doll does and it doesn't remind me of Dru at all, I have seen them do better.
The School Hard Dru is pretty close to her, but something is a little off in the Surprise Dru, maybe because of the very wide smile (which Juliet does have, but I imagine it's hard to get right). On the other hand, Wood is excellent, and Oz is also good.
"Assemble the Judge" is way cool. Now that I like.

Spike: "Do you like it, baby?"
Drusilla: "It reeks of death."
-- BUFFY, Season Two, "Surprise"

I'm pleasantly surprised that all of those figures look very like the actors, which is nice when you see a lot of them that really don't. And collecting bits of the Judge is a great idea, too, although I'm not sure whether he will be in a box as he was in the show, or just a normal figure as the picture on the website seems to suggest. Or maybe they will hit the nail on the head by providing boxes and body parts to get the accuracy perfect?
Loving the Oz likeness, though not quite sure why they needed yet another Oz. School Hard Dru's forearms are huge, what's up with that? Wood looks great and the Judge idea is so cool! I already have two Drus and two Ozs. What to do if I only want Wood and the Judge? :P
These are really cool. I like all of them.
Surprise Dru looks a bit like a demented Barbie doll to me.
Ohhhh, those cheeky devils. At the last Ask Diamond Q&A at BTVSFigs someone asked about the possibility of a build-it-in-bits figure, of the Judge in fact, and they said that would be a good idea... and that was about two weeks ago.
Actually, I thought that the School Hard Dru looked nothing like her, and that Surprise Dru was very accurate.
Why would I want to buy two Drus to get one full Judge? I only need one. And in fact, have one. Can we get to characters we havent MADE yet? (Andrew?) Or at least round out core Scoobys to have as many figures as Willow? (Xander?)

So, in that notion, kudos on Wood.
Still waiting for a Charles Gunn to complete the Angel line up. That said I think the likenessess are good in this group.
