I just opened "fool for love" Spike, and he can hold the zippo! It fits snuggly between his right thumb and middle finger. Thanks Moe, I'll have to give that a go . Anyone worked out how to get Beneath You Spike to hold the shovel

Hmm, I don't think so. I can see it fine through the package, and it's not connected, lol. I'm not bothered, it just looks a bit strange. I'll try and take a pic of it.

Wow, I hadn't even -realized- until I had them side by side how much of an improvement this wave is over the last Buffy wave. I mean, Anya and Tara were great, yes. And I love Anya to no end. But now I have Season 5 Spike beside OMWF Anya and I can't believe the difference. Anya just seems so cartoony now next to Spike, who really -does- freak me out because it looks -so- much like JM.

Has anyone started seeing Spike and Darla at Suncoast yet? Or do we know if/when they're likely to arrive in the stores?
(None of the comic shops around me seem to be carrying them so far--argh!)

Has anyone received anything from T&S Toys yet? I haven't even received a shipping notice!

Me either! So yesterday I emailed T&S Toys, asking when I should expect them, and today I got this email from them: "We have now received most of our supply of the Spike and Darla figures and have begun to proces and ship pre-orders this week. We are still awaiting another truckload and therefore some orders will ship next week. You should receive an email with DHL tracking information within the next few days if you have not already." Hope this helps ya.

Yeah, I received a Beneath You Spike on Thursday from T&ST. I got an email on Monday and got it on Thursday. I'm waiting on an order from AFX. It's because Fool For Love Spike is not out yet and he's included in my order from AFX. Did you order a Fool For Love? Maybe that's why you haven't got your order yet from T&ST.

I popped into F.P and bought JR Spike and Punk Spike. They look really good, especially next to the new figures (Willow, Anya, Tara, Darla). I'm looking forward to completing my collection!

I ordered my FFL Spike from Wizard (which I haven't rec'd yet), but everything else from T&S. I wonder why they haven't shipped mine yet.

I was going to wait until I got BY, FFL and JR Spike to ocmment but I can't hold it it anymore. These figures are so INCREDIBLE! The quality even surpasses the last Buffy wave. IF each wave improves on the one before like this one does, then we are in for treat. Thanks DST!

Still waiting on my "Fool for Love," "Just Rewards," and "Grave" Spike, but I got my three-pack and WTTH Darla from TST yesterday! I really love these figures.
I didn't want to get Season five Spike, but now I am glad I did. The resemblance is incredible! I love the accessories.
Darla is great, too. Her hair is a little on the white side, but still a very nice figure.
Reunion Darla. Nice figure but I really don't like the hair on her forehead. I do like her vamp bumpies though.
Schoolgirl Darla is perfect. Nice paintjob! Mine is a little cross-eyed like someone else had mentioned, but it's negligible.
Overall, I am a much happier camper than I was when I got Anya and Tara. The quality has gone up significantly.

I have gotten them all except for FFL Spike from Wizard. I really like all of them, but still Grave Spike as to be my favorite.

I got my Season Five Spike and found that when I opened him, the paint just slid off his knee joints. Anyone else had this issue? Thankfully, black isn't a hard colour to match , so he should be looking good again as soon as I get my paintbrushes out!

I received all the Spike and Darla in the same time last friday (02/11), and they are all perfect ! The paintjob is excellent. Great likeness with James Masters and Julie Benz. I love schoolgirl Darla, she's much better than on the official pics. And the Spike are so beautiful. It's the better serie with 9/10 !!! the only thing who is boring is the Spike's base, they are useless they don't help the Spike figures to stand) and not so cool in comparison with Darla's base. Thanks DST for this perfect serie !

I got season 2 Darla, Fool for Love Spike and Welcome to the Hellmouth Darla the other day, they are fantastic. They all have good paintjobs, schoolgirl Darla has the same hair and lipstick as my mum. -Fred
