So I have everything pre-ordered except Reunion Darla and I went to Forbidden Planet in NYC after work today to see if they had it. (With the Anya's & Tara's, they had them on the shelf a day early) And sure enough they had Season 5 Spike, Season 2 Darla & Welcome to the Hellmouth Darla. No Reunion Darla so I didn't get to buy anything but I checked out the figs they had. They had 2 of each on the shelf and Spike looked great. Very cool. As did the Angel packaging. The Darla's on the other hand had not-very-good paint jobs. All 4 figs on the shelf were completely different! Eyes, face, hair, it scares me cause with my pre-orders, I don't get to choose. I have to keep whatever they send me. And of the 4 Darla's that were on the shelf, I wouldn't have bought even 1 of them. That's how crappy the paint jobs were. I'm kind of picky though. And I'm just talking about the faces. Body's were great. 'Hellmouth' Darla's really cool. And the black shirt on Season 2 Darla seems too much. It's too dark. I really would've gone with another shirt color. And since she was right next to Spike, who's also all in black, it was a sea of black. But she was still cool. Again, my only complaint (and worry) is the face paint jobs on the Darla's.
It was so great to finally see them. I'm going back on Thursday to see if they have Reunion Darla. And I can't wait to get my pre-orders!!!!! Time & Space Toys & Cinequest are both mailing out the end of the week. Yea!!!!

I went in today and they did not have them in. FP get their delivery however on a Thursday so if you check tomorrow you might be able to pick them up.

Why can't they get the paint apps right? MAC seemed to have few problems with consistency and quality with face paint apps... just look at the Angel series Cordelias. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I just received an email from Caroline at Forbidden Planet international and she said they received them today and will send them as soon as possible, so this is great news! I rang them just before they closed @ 7 to ask about ordering Reunion Darla. The lady i spoke to said that she had arrived today. I asked what my chances were of getting one and she said that 208 people had ordered her & they received 218. I was gonna order her but FP generally take a month to ship out their goods so I've just ordered here from SciFiGenre.com for $14.95 & she's shipping tomorrow ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

My local comic shop held one of each for me, so I was able to get WWTH Darla, REunion Darla, Spike, and Darla. My Darla has near-white hair, so I understand the paint apps problem. All the figures had more articulation than I thought they would, except Welcome to the Hellmouth. The Darla bases are not what I expected,a dn the way to get the gate to stick to the base is kinda weak. You have to wedge on eof the gate bars into the whole created by the pile of rocks...
Overall though, I am way happy with the line, adn I can't wait to get my exclusives.

Does anyone know how the fence is suppose to go on darla's base? I can't figure it out?
The little insert that came with the figures says that vamp school girl darla is avaible now... I guess they thought they'd have someone to pick her up as an exclusive holder by now.

I didn't get them, but I did get to see them. I looked over all 4 at my local comic shop. They all seemed really nice, and the paint jobs were all fine. Vamp Darla's face was much better than expected.
I'm not going to pay the stores prices though - I'll wait for the low end retail.
