Finally got mine from F.P via business post today, it's not f.P fauly my evil neighbour took the parcel while I was out and only bothered to give it to me today as he ran into me. I love the figures but I think the spike cross base would of been better if he could stand on it

I went out and got Season 5 Spike today and I love him! The sculpt is so amazing that I honestly do think it looks like a little James is standing here looking at me. Too bad it's not a real James... Now I own him and Reunion Darla out of the set, but my local comic shop is apparently stuck in the stoneage or something, especially considering this is a large area with a huge focus on shopping, not like I live in some backwoods cabin with an outhouse. Anyway, they -still- only have the four regular figures in stock, and none of the variants. Whyyyy must you torture me, local comic shop? Whyyyy?? *Falls to his knees and yells up at the sky, waiting to get his clutches on a Fool for Love Spike without having to go online for it*

I got WTTH Darla, Reunion Darla, Season 2 Darla, and Season 5 Spike. I love the new Angel packaging. It looks great next to Angel Series one as well as the Buffy line. Love Darla's base, I can tell it was designed by the same people who designed Angel I and Buffy II bases. What can I say? I love everything about these figures. My only complaint is the lack of bicep articulation on WTTH Darla. Besides that, I think they turned out great. Can hardly wait for the last four exclusives!

I stopped by today and found a Season 5 Spike, Reunion Darla, Schoolgirl Darla, Vamp Darla, and Bunny Anya at my local comic shop... I didn't get them because I didn't have money, but got paid today and will be buying them tomorrow! Pretty damn exciting considering I couldn't find Buffy figures ANYWHERE, and now that I'm coming across them... that just brings lots of joy. Yay! And that means even more Buffy figures because It's my B-day on monday! ;D

I got fool for love spike and reunion darla at my local fp today and they have loads of all the figures except for the season two darla. Im really going to have to limit the number i get as i dont really have much money to spend at the minute so i may have to wait a while to get the rest.

I don't want to be the profit of doom but I think that play.com put the wrong picture to the regular "Welcome to the hellmouth" Darla.

YAY,! I got my JR Spike through the mail today, he is SO cool, and the jacket kicks ass! 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. Are the heads easy enough to swap? I can just about make my peace with the JR Spikes' hands but i want to put Beneath You Spike's head on the JR body and vice versa. Any help?

I got 'Reunion' Darla today. I like her. I don't think her bumps are too bad. I love how DST has these figures holding accessories in the packaging

I know what you mean about reunion darla, i wasnt too impressed with the pictures on the site but then i saw her in the shop and she looked so much better. it captures the episode tone quite well.

My "Reunion" Darla arrived today. I can understand what a lot of people were saying about her...i also panicked / felt disappointed when i saw the first promo shots of her. But the final product has turned out really well, in fact, she's my favourite Darla!

With the 'Reunion' Darla, there's just one thing that looks weird on mine, and I don't know if it's the same on them all. Her two little hair pieces on her face don't join up to her main hair, and it looks kinda strange. Is it like this on anyone elses?

I've received Beneath You Spike: I love the rat and the shovel. I'm a non-opener so I love the fact that the shovel's under his arm. And the blue is beautiful! At last, some Color!
And Grave Spike: Again, I love it! The bright yellow hair scared me at first. Even a streak or two of white would tone it down a bit. But the face is so great, you get used to the hair.
And Reunion Darla: I love it that she's holding the sledge hammer. As a non-opener, I hope DST keeps this up with the figures holding an accessory. ANd I think the vamp face is perfect.
And last but not least, Hellmouth Darla: Face paint job is great. I was so worried because the ones in the store sucked!!! Pun intended. She's a tiny bit cross-eyed, but that's the only complaint. And you can barely tell. And again I love it that's she's holding an accessory.
I'm just waiting on the other four from AFX. Hopefully next week!!!

none of the figures can hold the zippo I just opened "fool for love" Spike, and he can hold the zippo! It fits snuggly between his right thumb and middle finger.

Her two little hair pieces on her face don't join up to her main hair, and it looks kinda strange. Is it like this on anyone elses? My Reunion Darla face hair matched up the the other hair fine, & she's out of the package. Maybe it just appears like that on yours PG as she is still in her packaging, it's pretty well lined up right on my version.
