Awesome switches, D'Hoffryn!
I also love the Deluxe human Spike head. It looks so great on the Destiny body.
Those are great points about how much better the scale looks with the Deluxe Spike body being taller. It helps everything! Once we get the Deluxe Willows, the characters will start to look decent together. That's something happy!
I just received my 50s Angel from the BCC a few mintues ago. I really like the head. I always loved Angel with his hair combed preppy like that. The head will be perfect for Boothe customs from "Bones."
Now I have the regular Destiny Spike and Angel, School Hard Spike, and 50s Angel. I'll get the Hawaiin boys later when the price comes down, because I'm not in a hurry to get them.
I think I need a few more School Hard Spikes later for customs.

Since I've got my camera working... a few pics: Spike feels so manly. Spike borrows Faith's bow. Maybe he watched Dukes of Hazzard a few times too many (Yes, I know the string isn't pulled back... the toy bow would break!) I found a new Spike variant the other day, I couldn't believe it. Because I don't think this one will sell. It's... Emo Spike! And just because I have the pic uploaded already, here's Faith with Spike's axe.

Great pictures everyone. I can't wait to get my "School Hard" Spike as all of these pictures make me want mine more and more.
These Deluxes are pretty nice, one question though about the headswaps, is it easy to do them? I was going to buy extras and I wanted to put a Vampire Head on My School Hard Spike and put a Regular Head on the "Destiny" Spike, I also wanted to put a Vampire Angel Head on the 50's Angel and a Regular Head on the "Destiny" Angel figure.
I can't wait for more Deluxe Figures, I really hope that a Xander figure is planned.
As for the BCC still saying that they have them up for preorder it's only because they have been so busy with everything that they haven't had the time to change the website.

I just got my 50's Angel today. The pictures aren't great but I took them in a hurry. I can't seem to rotate this picture for some reason Maybe this is just me being morbid but I'm thinking of displaying him hanging by the noose

Yay. A comic book shop finally got some deluxes. They had all 4 Destiny figures, so I got Battle Damaged Spike and Angel and regular vamp Spike. The chases are carded but I just had to open reg Spike. He looks awesome. And those who might wonder, you cannot swap his head with the regular Season 5 Spike, it's much to small. And, the inside flap has a spot called Available Now: and it has The Prom 2-pack listed there. Has anyone else seen this? -John

I'm getting all of them! But I think 50's Angels paint is very cartoony but I'm still getting him.

Wow! These look really cool. 50's Angel looks a little cartoony but I love the Spikes! D'Hoffryn, your Vampire Doomed Spike looks really great! It's tough to choose which ones I'm going to get but School Hard Spike does look very appealing...

I got 50's Angel this morning from Forbidden Planet, he is the first to arrive in the Spike/Angel DLXs I ordered. I'm quite pleased I love the accessories especially the 1950's blood pack! Mine seems to have a real Elvis quiff thing going on at the front, its not paint but brown fluff like stuff.

I cracked down and bought Deluxe Destiny Spike and I do NOT regret it one bit.... he is awesome!!! He may be a bit too tall for my liking, but the deluxe line has really really grown on me lately, and he is a great addition to my collection. I was gonna buy Dlx Destiny Angel to go with him, but I am holding out for a Buffy/Angel Becoming 2-pack. Great figure!

Deleux Spike heads win overall any but S5 angel's face has alot more detail but I prefer deleux vamp face to normal vamp face angel. It's a shame the colour of the paint is so differnt as head swaps would be easy

Does anyone else think that one of the Deluxe Hawaiin bodies would work for a Doyle figure? Didn't Doyle wear a shirt like that on the show with a different pattern? Also, in case anybody is keeping up with how well the lines are selling: www.EntertainmentEarth.com has already sold out of their first shipment of Deluxe Series 2 Angel & Spikes. They have ordered more and are expecting them back in stock soon.

Well I finally got my Destiney Spike and Angel from Fobbiden Planet in London yesturday, togther with School hard Spike. I was practically too late as there was only a couple of pairs left. So they do seem to be very popular.
I just love the Destiney figures, although I'm not so keen on the Angel, infact in the end I didn't get 50's Angel as I thought he looked quite bad up close, and not very much like Angel at all, so I left it at just the three.
I may get him at a later date if I can pick him up a bit cheaper on eBay.

Got Battle Damaged Destiny Spike the other day. Love this figure. Looks so so cool. But I think his knees are a bit too far down his legs. Anyone else agree?

I got my "School Hard" Spike today from the BCC. It was the last Deluxe that I was waiting for. I can't wait for the Deluxe Willow/Kendra/Kennedy line. These Deluxe figures just keep getting better.

Finally got my 'Destiny' Angel today from Forbidden Planet. Thank god, an Angel figure that dosen't look retarded! I love him, however the cup dosent look half as good as Spikes and my stand is squnity. The Duluxe figures are greatly better than the regualr line, I do hope DST stop making those in the regular line that look more like minature blow-up sex dolls rather than figures.
All I want now is my 'School Hard' Spike then roll on the Willow/Kendra's!

Could someone post a picture of s5 Angel, Hawaii Angel and 50s Angel side by side? I'm planning to do a headswap to make a human Destiny Angel, so I'd like to see a comparison of the various headsculpts.
Thanks!
