I got all the Spike's and Darla's today. I must say All the Spike's are great. Wellcome to Hellmouth Darla' eyes are so close together she doesn't look right ( maybe its just mine)
My season 5 Spike is so pigeon toed that he looks completly ridiculous. Great likeness though all around on this wave with the exception of Wellcome to hell mouth Darla if you ask me.
I wish I had the luxury of picking through these figures becuase quality control is a issue with these for the MOC collector. 3 of my 5 Spikes have inward bent feet and my season 2 Darla's arm is bent really weird making her hunched over looking like a zombie or something (weird).
I really wish they would have left that point of articulation out being a MOC collector but I'll keep ordering more unfortunatly till I find some that work for me.
Overall I really like this wave, when it was first anounced I really didn't think we needed a new Spike but I totally take that back now cause these are great.
I am officially out of room on my huge wall of Buffy figures so I'll be seperating the Angel figures and move to a different wall. This I never thought possible so mad props to DST for surrounding me in Buffy.
I am so excited about the upcoming waves that I'm constantly checking the forum for new news.
I can't wait for more figures!!
DST is the bomb!

I got all the rest of my Spike and Darla figures yesterday from Time and Space Toys. I love them all, it's just kind of sad that there's no info on "Angel" Vampire Schoolgirl Darla. That is the only figure that is missing from my collection. I can't wait to add Wesley and Lorne to my collection and all their variants too. Hopefully everything goes well and they are actually out in May/June. It will be nice as well to add Angel and Fred to my collection. There are so many great figures coming out this year and most of them are Angel, the series needed a lot of figures and DST pulled through.

I just received my spikes and darlas... Is anyone else disappointed?
My biggest disappointment is that the spikes can't hold anything. I remember when the MAC spikes came out everyone was really excited because of all the accessories he was coming with until we discovered that, hey wait! He can't hold anything! These spikes also have some really great accessories( Is that a cool stake or what?!) I was hoping that with the new spikes they'd resolve this issue, but it doesn't appear they have. The only spike that can hold things easily is Fool for Love Spike. Better than nothing I suppose...
The darlas... I dunno what it is about WTHM Darla that I don't like.. Her outfit is awesome. I think it's her face/head. They just don't look right to me for some reason.. she looks kinda.. mushroomie. I'm also disappointed in the accessories she's coming with. I'm not sure why you'd give a cross to a vampire as an accessory... but they did. I really hope that for the vamp wthm figure they switch up the accessories or I might just skip it.. I don't remember her ever wearing a red school girl outfit.
On a side note, has anyone noticed the difference in Darla's packaging? I bought a few Darla's at the local comic store, and then I ordered another set from DST (I like to have one to open and one to keep carded because I could never decide if I should keep them on card or not so this way I can do both) and the stone wall section of her base is attached to her base on the ones I bought at the comic shop and it's detached and placed in front of the grass on the DST ones. (I like the DST packaging better because it's slimmer and easier to store)

I discovered this same problem, and I am going to switch out a wesley hand on each of my wesleys (less rain of fire) when I get them and spike hand on each of my spikes. This way, the Spike's will be able to hold stuff.

Yeah I cancelled my order with Wizard and ordered from DST. It was cheaper and everything came Tuesday. I'm very satisfed with the figures, but yeah it would be nice if spike could hold stuff. The Darlas are great though except I can't get her bag to really stay on her shoulder. Any new news on the "Angel" Vampire Darla and if that will be released yet?

I got all the spikes and Darla's from T&ST yesterday. I was home sick from work so it was perfect timing.
I love them all. I don't notice any bad paintjobs. Darla's hair isn't pure white thank god. I love the jacket on vamp spike.
Bad:
When looking closely at WTTH Darla, her eyes do seem close together. Spike can hold some of his stuff (Rat, Blood, Goblet). Would be nice if one hand could hold the smaller stuff. I really wish the spikes could stand on their base. I've had a hard time getting them to stand because the second I slightly bumb into my shelves they fall down. None of the other figures do, that slight little peg really helps. If I can just remember not to touch the bookshelf at all.
Overall I love the line, can't wait for the wesleys.

She will be a little harder to find than Season 5 Spike. The case breakup was 4 Season 5 Spikes, 2 Season 2 Darlas, and 2 Reunion Darlas.

Well that gives me hope that maybe he will be here within the next couple of days. I did order a FFL from DST and got him carded and am going to leave him that way, but want to open one, so to the point of the question can he be put back into the toyfair box pretty easy?

I don't know about putting him back in the box because I haven't attempted to open his box yet.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to put him back in the box. The only hard thing is the twist-ties, which go around his waist and legs.

Got my Toyfare Boxed FFL Spike in the mail today! My carded version from AFX should be here in a few days! I hope my carded version has a little better paint job on the necklace and face. I love the box. It is easily opened for display and figure can easily be put back in the box. That's 5 down, 3 more to go. Not counting Vamp Schoolgirl Darla.
