I'm assuming that it's one of the "send in the order form from Toyfare magazine" deals, but is the issue with the order form out already? Or can you even get one without a full magazine subscription?

Ah, 'Fool for Love' my all time fav' Spike episode! I adore this figure and can't wait to get my grubby old hands on it. I think that they've done really well this incarnation of Spike's character, and so it's a must as far as I'm concerned!

Probably my 2nd favourite Spike figure from Angel 2. I am thrilled that he is episode specific. Likeness looks good to me. Love his hair !! I am a little concerned that he seems to be the only Spike with gripping hands , But I am hoping that DST will release a Nikki Wood figure to go with him in the future

So does that mean it's a given and that will be the only way to pre-order this figure?
I thought retailers were in the business of making money/profits? Wouldn't they make much more money by offering the figure to many people rather than relegating it to the secondary market (eBay) and letting it go for exhorbitant prices there?
This figure was a must for me also, but now if eBay is my only choice, I don't know. It's disappointing to say the least, as I've never even seen a copy of ToyFare for sale in the area I live.

I'm pretty sure you can order the toyfare exclusives off their website, at least I know vamp willow was available there.

I'm sure there will be several ways to obtain this figure through retailers and Toyfare won't be the only option. DST even has the last Toyfare exclusive (Vampire Willow) on their website still for sale for $15. No worries, DST hasn't given us any reason to doubt them yet. Cough cough- sideshowvampireangel- ahem. On another note, I really dig this figure, probably the most out of this incredible wave. It's different and I like how they captured Marster's mocking "bring it on slayer" expression. I know that DST is keeping costs down by planning to have the same cross base for all figures but I really think that a NY subway train base would add so much more to an already excellent concept. P.s. My girlfriend saw this picture on my computer this morning and asked me why I wanted a Billy Idol action figure when I didn't even like his music.

This figure was a good choice and it turned out really well, IMO. It's a little more interesting than the 'black and blue shirted' Spikes. But what are the odds of ever getting a Nikki Wood to go along with him? Fans are going to be clamoring for a "historical" Slayer set with Nikki in it from now on.

The figure didn't turn out like I had originally hoped, but still he looks great. I think he has had great detail put into him - and it's great to see Diamond turning episode specific.

Thanks, jmay25, I'm sure you're right. This is my favorite Spike figure so far. I am really looking forward to this one! And I agree about the coat. It seemed the whole crux of the subway scene was to let us know how Spike got his trademark coat. I can't imagine the figure without the coat. Still, I totally love this figure. It will be the first time I purchase two of the same figure - one for opening and one to keep on card.

I think I'd rather him without the coat.
A coated subway Spike is possible. DST could stick the jacket on this figure and give him Vamp Spike's arms.
