Well, I stopped by my comic book store today and he had the Angel and Spikes in along with the Preview exclusive 2-pack. The chases weren't there so I asked him (because I know he doesn't put them out) and he said he was going to offer them to the first person who bought both Spike and Angel. I only had enough money to buy one, but he knows that I buy everything, so he said that if I promise to buy them all when I get my next paycheck he would hold them for me and let me buy one of the chases now. So I picked up the Chase Angel. Side by side comparison of season 5 Spike's chalace and the new chalace As a note to customizers these figures use the ball joint neck insted of the peg and hing like the buffy and faiths...so customs of any male figures will be really easy...oh they have waist articulation too so the legs can come off!

I prefer the season 5 spike cup to the new one, it may be smaller but it's more detailed.

I too like the Season 5 cup better because of the detail. I can't wait to get them, I'm just hoping that I get them at least when I am on Vacation in 2 weeks. That"ll be something to look forward to. Well here is the promo picture for the Deluxe Angel/Spike line from the back of the cover inside of a Buffy magazine:

That's cool. Not as good as the Deluxe Buffy/Faith promo IMO. I can't wait for these figures! They look so good but I'm gonna skip Hawaiin Spike and Angel though.

I must have them. I called every comic book shop within 100 miles and none of them have any deluxe Angel/Spikes. Most of them get all the Buffy figures, and several have said they aren't going to get them at all. I guess I have to order them online. Thanks for the pics Jinxieman. -John

Toyfare #109 has a 2 page ad in it of the Deluxe Angel and Spikes', similar to the one above, except it says, "in stores now". There is also a blerb about Buffy figures being a hot seller and a pic of the Glory/Dawn 2-pack in the "heating up at retailers" part.

Mine has them all. I have the Hawiian 2-pack, Angel, Spike, and the chase Spike on hold. They look great...I just wish I had the money to buy them all.

I bought the Destiny four pack at SDCC, with both battle damaged Spike and Angel, as well as the regular ones. Esc took the battle damaged ones, since I didn't want them and DST wasn't selling the Spikes unless you bought the four pack.
I love Spike's cross and Angel's pedestal. I essentially bought the set for those accessories. Spike looks decent. I like his coat, but not particularly better than the one from Just Rewards.
I don't like the Angel figure at all. I just think it's ugly and the body is not not like Angel.
I had planned to buy the Hawaiian shirt Spike, but he's only coming packaged with the Hawaiian shirt Angel. I didn't think that either of them looked so great, so I passed on those. I received a HH Cheer Buffy for buying the Deluxe four pack.
I also bought School Hard Spike from AFX's SDCC booth. I like SH Spike much better than the Destiny figures. The only part I really don't like is the ball joints on the arms.
I'd post pics, but I already lost my beautiful, new digital camera! I'm heart broken! That camera was so awesome.

Any idea when these are out in the UK? I'm going to try my local shops tomorrow. So is School Hard Spike out at the same time as the others?

Are they only being released at SDCC at the moment? Nah some stores on the West Cost have them. There was some sort of problem with the shipping and as of last week only the West had them, and supposedly the East will in the upcoming weeks. Several online stores have them though.

Spike looks amazing, I just ordered mine from the BCC for $11.99 along with a pre-order of a Glory figure for $14.99. I can't wait to get him as well as all of the other Deluxe figures. I wonder if the BCC will now ship them, seeing as this is the last 1 that I needed to order.
