So far they're looking so good! I really can't wait to get them! But I'll have to wait until T&S Toys get in the Spike varients because I ordered them all together! ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Great pictures everyone! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I went to Newbury comics today but they were all out of Regular Spike and Darla, the only ones I want. I did check out Vamp Darla, and it really is as ugly as I tought it would be, maybe even worse. No vamp on the show had bumps like that. The WTTH Darla had a really good facial likeness, but I still can't stand the hair so I didn't get that either.

I don't really like him. He just seems a bit overall odd. Also, is it me or does he look like he's having an orgasm?

its strange what people have on their minds when they see figures with closed eyes and open mouth. some people said the same thing about street fighter chun li alt. head, hehehe
i think grave spike would have been better posed kneeling down but without mid thigh articulation or ball-jointed hips, i don't think it would look right
btw, anyone got any ideas how to raise figures without bases to match the height of other buffy figures? spike's looking kinda short inbetween buffy II and angel II
my account has been charged for the two variants i ordered from fpi so i should get them monday/tuesday, can't wait

:DYAY My mum just said shes gonna' get me a Spike/Darla figure later on today!! But I don't know what one I want!! ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) So far I've pre-ordered Fool For Love Spike and Season 5 Spike and I don't wanna get Beneath You Spike incase I win one on the Spike Poem Competition. Anyone have any good ideas? I wanna try and get the exclusives first cause they'll probably sell out first. So it's either...Grave Spike,Just Rewards Spike, Welcome to the Hellmouth Darla or Reunion Darla. Please help, I don't know what one to choose!! But I'm excited anyway!! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I don't really like him. He just seems a bit overall odd. Also, is it me or does he look like he's having an orgasm? I just rewatched this episode last weekend. The reason I like this figure so much is this is exactly how he looks when he gets his soul back. It's such a pivotal moment in the history of the character and I think they recreated it perfectly.

I'm Back! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) They had ALL of the figures and they all look really good, I was gonna' get Just Rewards Spike and there was one with a perfect paint job but I decided not to. Overall I think the figures that stood out were Just Rewards Spike, Regular Spike and Normal Darla. They just seems to get my liking. In the end I decided to get Normal Darla as they only had one left and it had a brilliant paint job! I just got home and opened her and WOW! The sculptings perfect but whoa she has a big bum. Anyway I love the accesories and the base, it goes really good with the character and has a kinda dark colour scheme like the figure. I Can't Wait til Fool For Love Spike and Season 5 Spike Arrive!! And the Un-Painted Reunion Darla I won!!And I hope I win Beneath You Spike on the poetry competition cause he looks great.

Yeh! I'm also desperate to see some close ups. At the start of the thread, everyone was saying that they were disappointed with her and now everyone's saying they love her! We need pics!

My FFL, Grave & Just Rewards Spikes came from FBi yesterday. I opened them today, here's what I thought: Packaging - very cool. Angel colour scheme is very nice. All figs came with the D1 promo card & booklet promoting the range. Likeness - FFL Spike is spot on. He has so much attitude, and he looks like Spike is just saying "Come on!!" Grave Spike captures Spike's pain. Tthe hair is a bit too yellow, but the cuts, bruises etc are well done. I like the yellow/orange eyes too. Just Rewards Spike looks better out of the Packaging. I think he resembles earlier Spike makeup, not how he looked in Angel 5. None the less, he is excellent, although he has yellow hair again. Accessories - Why do I want 3 crosses ? I don't. i would have liked different bases episode specific. It suits Grave Spike's pose, & doesn't really go with the other 2. All other extras are neat - the blood bag, bottles, zippo, pole etc. Unfortunately none of the figures can hold the zippo, and only FFL can hold the stakes which came with the other 2. The blanket which comes with Grave Spike is a great idea, nice touch. I love JR jacket. it is soft rubber and can be easily taken off. Because it is soft it allows you to see the detail on the jeans and it is not tight to the body. On all figures the paint work is of a high standard. My fav is FFL Spike. I can't fault him, but would like him to have a leather jacket as an accessory. As JR jacket comes off it would probably be quite easy to customise a jacket for FFL though. FFL has bracelets, rings, dog tags, studded belt, cool hair, black finger nails etc etc. He deserves to be a sell out. iI recommend him as a must for any Spike fan as it ozzes Spike attitude. I'm glad I got all 3, and can't wait for Season 5 & BY. But so far FFL Spike Rocks. If you haven't got it already or ordered it I strongly urge you to get him. Thanks DST for another cool wave. being a Spike nut this is by far the best wave so far. It also seems to be of the highest standards we have so far seen. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

YAY! I just bought Just Rewards Spike on ebay for £14.99. Hopefully i'll have him by the end of the week. Can't wait till i get him i plan to rip off his head and replace it with a normal Spike head. Anyone know if a MAC head will fit or will i have to wait till i get the season 5 head?

Spike_the_bloody, don't know, but you will love him. Wait till you see the jacket, then compare it to the original hard plastic version. It is soooooo much better. ;D
Just filddling about with my figs, I realised the ball joint allows you to tilt the head up, & to the side. With JR Spike you can angle it so it looks like he is just about to go in for the kill & bite someone !! Genius ;D

Blood Red, thanx for the pics of darla, i'm in considering stage at the moment, its a good figure but not as good as the original promo pics imo
orpheus, ur pretty lucky, i'm still waiting from my order from fpi which should arrive next week. i think i'm gonna really like just reward spike. vampire versions of characters are pretty cool. here's hoping dst do an accurate modern vampric angel for a wave or even a deluxe variant
i see what you mean about the crosses, what annoys me most about it is that the figures can't actually stand on the base, only next to it making them kinda short compared to the rest. you can make it stand on the candles but thats just ridiculous
