These figures look so amazing. It's hard to believe that they will arrive this week in stores. I'm so happy. I ordered all of mine through Time and Space Toys. Seeing them in their packages makes me want them more. I'm thinking of buying 2 of each just to display them in the package as well as out of the package.
Does anyone know which figures will actually be shipping at the same time.
I know that Season 5 Spike and Season 2 Darla ship together, but what about all of the exclusives? When do they all ship. Hopefully it's only a week or 2 later.
I love Season 5 Spikes Accesories, the amulet, the goggles, the axe, the "Kiss the Librarian" mug, the golden chalice of Mountain Dew, and the kitten are all from great episodes.
"Just Rewards" Spike is amazing, the jacket looks so realistic. I just don't understand how is he supposed to hold any of his accessories.
"Grave" Spikes bruises and eyes are what make him such a great figure. His eyes appear as if he is in pain and have a ensouled look in them.
"Beneath You" Spike is also a great figure, seeing Spike with a bright shirt on is very different and the cross base goes excellently with this figure, considering that they are from the same episode.
"Welcome to the Hellmouth" Darla is such a great figure, depicting her first appearance in the Buffyverse. This was the greatest and best surprise when these figures were originally announced.
I can't wait to see Season 5 Darla, "Reunion" Darla and "Fool for Love" Spike in their packages.

Hopefully it's only a week or 2 later. Not sure about T & S toys shipping arrangements, but in a recent email CineQuest said that the regular assortment of figures (plus their "Grave" Spike exclusive) would be in stock by the end of the 2nd week of February. According to them the other Spike exclusives would arrive about a week or so after that. |

These figures look seriously great. Schoolgirl Darla is looking awesome! I can't wait to see the other two. The Spikes are looking cool aswell, I'm definatley getting Beneath you Spike and atleast one or two variants. Then with Darla I may be buying all three!!! Although I really wish that they had made either a Pregnant Darla or Victorian Darla  |

Eww. I like the Vamp Spike even less now. I think they went a little overboard with sculpting the vamp details, and now the paint apps bring it out too much. Just look at the pic of him on the bubble, it's a lot more subtle than what they did. I was just thinking about those hands too, that most of the Spikes hands are spread open like MAC's. I mean what the hell... And I'm still pissed that DST decided that the Hellmouth Darla didn't need bicep or wrist articulation.  But you know I'll still get these because... baa...  |

I think 'Reunion' Darla looks great! The only thing I dont like is how big her brow is and the dangling pieces of hair. Other than that, she looks nice! |

Im not too sure on the figures now ive seen the pictures esp the reunion Darla. i dont know what it is about her but i just dont like it. But the WWTH is great and so are most of the Spikes but still cant wait to see fool for love, that has to be my favourite in this line.

Reunion Darla looks like exactly the same figure that MAC showed us years ago. I don't think a single thing has changed on her! Maybe the pants look a little more metallic... but they're definitely not the gold that they should be for the episode. That would be the easiest change to make and improve her by making her episode accurate! The other thing I don't understand is why they didn't sculpt a new head. I know that it's clearly more money than changing the pants color, but when they do all-new sculpts for Lorne and Wes I just wonder what the logic was here. Was it: 'Oh her head looks good enough, no need to change it and do accurate hair (or better looking forehead bumpies for that matter)'? She's a bit of a let-down, but I love the rest. And I also find it really funny that so many Spikes still can't grasp their weapons! I can't complain, because they look good and I generally don't display them holding weapons anyway. |
