I agree Michi the models are very close to the actors in the film, Vizzini is probably the "least best" but I will reserve judgement until painted.

Lovely.

I cannot reconcile the Robin Wright of The Princess Bride (my second favourite movie of all time after 'Zulu'  :D) with the Robin Wright of House of Cards. It's not just that she's now 50 instead of 20 - it's that she looks like a different person completely. I can't see Princess Buttercup in her at all. Totally unrecognisable. Deeply weird - or is that just me?  ::)

Not just you. I went through the same thing when I watched it.

Any suggestions for a Buttercup figure that would fit in with these? Or will more figures be forthcoming in this range?

Nothing concrete but I would suggest further figures in the range would be forthcoming if these are successful

I thought the same thing years ago about her when I saw her Forest Gump.  It's weird how you just reminded me of that!!

Anyhow, I loved these figures and have already placed an order.

I've purchased this set as well, and my personal choice for Buttercup is Hasslefree's 'Miranda':



With just little GS work for the belt I think she makes a more than decent option:
