Why do they ALWAYS have to give the vampire versions long nails? I really dont get it!

The set of Spikes/Darlas I order from FPI arrived at 10:40 this morning by courier. All in all, I am very impressed.
FFL, JR, BY Spikes and the Darlas are excellent. Great likeness and very well done. But my Grave Spike has funny coloured eyes and he doesn't have a black left eye (as you look at him) so he looks a bit odd. Why does Season 5 Spike have the Buffy Librarian mug?
Only one other gripe all my Spikes look very flesh coloured like Spike's been on holiday to Bermuda... A bit odd for a vampire!
I'd have to go with 9/10 for this line!

I emailed FP and my Fool For Love Spike and Season 5 Spike will be here within 7 days! Hopefully I'll pick up another Spike/Darla figure over the weekend if I've got enough cash. Still need to get Just Rewards Spike, Grave Spike, Reunion Darla, WTTHM Darla and Beneath You Spike!

Are they orange/yellow? Cos' they're supposed to be. If they were I wouldn't mind as its supposed to be when he is infused with his soul, correct? But they are grey with this yucky fluorescent peach coloured dot (well, it sure isn't orange or yellow or orangey-yellow for that matter ). It looks really wierd.

I got season 5 Spike, Reniuon Darla, Season 2 Darla, and Hellmouth Darla so far, and I like all of them. They look great. I really like the Spike, but I agree with Madvicks when in Angel did Spike have the mug? Or the goggles? He reminds more of Harsh Light of Day Spike. I have the rest on the way! I cant wait to see them. Hopefully I dont get a funky eyed Grave Spike! I still need to receive the Spike and Darla's from TST so I can figure out which ones Im gonna open. Gotta have the open one save one thing!

I finally got my figures yesterday. I ordered Vamp Darla, Darla & Spike from T&S (sorry but DHL SUCKS!! my package was in Pittsburgh for 2 days which is maybe a 1/2 hour from me UPS would have never taken that long)) I COMPLETLY LOVE DST right now. Ball jointed heads and soft hair YAY!! I think the face paint has improved much since Anya & Tara I was not impressed but Darla & Spike are great. Love Vamp Darla. DST has to re-do all of Mac's figures and make all new ones too this line has to go on forever.

I got all eight today, opened them and love each and everyone of them!
I don't no what my favorite is, Grave Spike is alot better than I expected and so is Beneath you Spike. Season 2 Darla is my favorite Darla out of the three. Just rewards Spike is amazing and the Jacket is no were near as shiny as on the promos.
Season 5 Spike is great and all the Spike's look like James.
All I need now is Vampire Welcome to the hellmouth Darla and I have them all yuppy!

I'm heading down to London tomorrow to blow all my cash at FP. The photos look great, but I can't understand why there seems to be such variation in the paint jobs - don't these people have quality control? But I can forgive anything, 'cos the sculpts look great.

I got Beneath You Spike, Season 5 Spike, WTTH Darla & Reunion Darla today. I am soooooooooooooo impressed with Darla - and I love schoolgirl Darla. She looks so much like Julie Benz & has very pretty eyes. One thing I am bummed about is the limited posablility of her - no leg joints & the arms are pretty much set. And none of the accesories work with her either, apart from the guns. But she IS a way cool figure that captures episode one Darla superbly. As for the ball joint heads - they rock, as does the soft hair. I really hate that Tara had hard hair making her face very static. Reunion Darla is better in the flesh. She does have a very heavy vamp forehead but somehow it works really well. And Vamp Darla was the ugliest female vamp, so the face mould kindafits. The colour of the outfit works well too. But is it me, or is the dagger extremely large The Darla bases are goOd, and far better that Spike's cross. Beneath You Spike is great, better than the promotional images. But alas he can't hold the spade. This really annoys me ;D. Season 5 Spike is brilliant - nuff said !! Forbidden Planet had only 2 Grave Spikes, 1 FFL, 3 Reunion Darla's, 3 WTTH, I Just Rewards Spike, 3 Beneath You Spikes and 1 Season 5 Spike.. There were no season 2 Darlas. I definitely feel the quality of these figures are far better than the Anya/Tara wave. I did notice an improvement in quality with the Together Forever set (Willow is stunning). DST seem to have given us loads of accessories which is fab, if only the figures could hold them all. It is good to see action poses, as with WTTH Darla. And even though all the Spikes have the same pose, they all look completely different.. The paint jobs oN all my figs have been good, especially on the faces. I don't remember Darla having dirty blonde hair though Can't wait for Wes & Lorne & then Angel & Fred. Keep 'em coming DST

Hey i picked up S5 Spike and JR/Vampire Spike yesterday at my FP, which has tonnes of every figure excluding vamp schoolgirl Darla. i'm going back next week to pick up WTTH Darla. and note to customizers - Spikes hands are REALLY arkward to switch. i'm switching parts so normal Spike has the trenchcoat and vamspike is in normal tee shirt. i'm gonna have to glue thr hands in place thow as they are arkward to get out of the pegs and the peg sizes on both figures are different.

But is it me, or is the dagger extremely large I think it's cos' it's supposed to be a sword. I always thought that it was intended to be the sword she stabs Angel with in "Reprise", but it's way too small.

Yep - it is too small to be a sword & too large to be a dagger. Darla looks very odd holding it
