I hate to say this, but I think cosmicspidey might be right on the money. I actually brought the exact request to Toyfare about the "fool for love" Spike's future availabiltiy, and they haven't responded. It has been a week today, and i know they received my e-mail cause I got a confirmation about it. I just have not received a response, and I know I am not the only one....
Let's hope that JD and DanMan are on point with this, cause There will be strife for Wizard if they don't let current subscribers (at the very least, get a shot at this fig)

Well like JD said, they've NEVER done an exclusive that was online only. In fact, the basic point of the exclusive figure is that it's an incentive to buy the magazine. If you buy this mag, you can get a figure you can't get anywhere else. While I'm sure they make a little profit off their exclusives, I believe the idea is for it to be a marketing tactic.

That's exactly why you have to subscribe to the magazine in order to buy the exclusive Spike, so that they can gaurantee they'll sell 12 issues of Toyfare instead of just one.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question... but the figure that will come with the ToyFare subscription, is it boxed? Or carded. I only collect the carded figures. I think it'll be hard to hang the box on my wall I wouldn't mind a subscription, it's a cool magazine, but if it is boxed, maybe I'll wait and try my luck at the DST store.

Toyfare/Wizard has done this before...
Last year when the Snake Teela figure came out for the Masters of the Universe line, they first made her available online for the exact same "deal". You ordered a year's subscription to their magazine, and got the figure guaranteed. BUT then two issues later, offered her with the coupon. Spike will be done the same way I can promise you that. This is just a selling point to try and get more subscribers. If you don't want to subscribe then don't, the issue with the coupon will most likely be for october/november. I don't think there is anything to worry about. I have sent out coupons for over three exclusives form toyfare, and have never once had an issue getting the figure.

It's just the dot on the I. Spike will be coming with the amulet from Chosen, though.

Ok, the first print ad for this Spike from Wizard/Toyfare is in this month's Wizard (#157). The issue has 3 different Wolverine covers (though really that could describe nearly any issue of Wizard ). Check out the full issue description here: www.wizarduniverse.com/magazines/wizard/WZ20040929-onsale.cfmThey offer a number of exclusives in this issue including the Vamp Buffy Palz, a Hulk Heroclix, a Green Lantern figure, and Fool for Love Spike. They advertise buying them at the website (wizarduniverse.com) as well as from the offers on the envelope (there is an included tear out envelope/order form insert)... I just checked out the website and Spike is available for preorder here: store.yahoo.com/wizarduniverse/tfafflspike.html!!! And in a Wizard first, their exclusives' online prices now includes shipping costs, just as they do from the magazine order form.
