I'm really torn on this figure, but I still have one pre-ordered from www.cinequest.com. I am stoked to have a topless Spike to rumble with my other figs, but I don't want him yelling all the time. The face detail is phenominal, but I wish he would have had his mouth closed. Beggars can't be choosers though. He's still freaking great. |

I understand what you mean about the limitations of this figure when it comes to multi-character displays. At first I felt the same way. But then I thought about it from a different perspective. I am a big fan of the character Spike and this was one of the most pivotal moments in his history. As a Spike fan, I am thirlled to have that moment represented in this wave of figures. I hope that DST continues with their episode-specific versions that represent a key moment of their character development. |

I agree about the mouth-always-being-open being somewhat irritatingg, but I've decided this is the Spike for me, because quite simply, Spike is a character who has always been in pain - whether he was a frustrated poet, or as Buffy's unrequited love, or being unable to be a vamp because of the chip in his head. Always, always, always, he was in pain. So even though I EXPECTED that the "Spike as Vamp" would be the perfect figure (the show is called Buffy the Vampire Slayer" after all, this is actually the figure that to me says it all about Spike.
I might pick up one of the others if there's some good sales or something, but if I get only one, this is it.

Nipples are a go. He definately needs correct anatomy. Does anyone have any idea what the blanket accessory is going to look like? That's pretty cool.

When did he use the blanket  I wish they had included lil' spiders as accessories aswell. I thought that scene with the spiders crawling over Spike's face was so memorable. |

He used a blanket every time he made a dash from his car to Giles' home. You'll have to add your own smoke effect.

This figure is great. At first, I hated the idea of buying a shirtless figure that was aimed at women lusting after him. Then they changed it to Spike from 'Grave', I was a tiny bit happier, but still couldn't care less. Now the pictures have surfaced, I quite like this figure! It seems similar to my feelings on Doppelgangland Willow, at first I hated the figure - now I love it!
The part of the figure that I am most looking forward to having is the giant crusafix base! That will be so cool!

As with Miss Edith I had the lucky chance at gaping at this Spike in Chicago. All of them were there, but I just kept going back to the extreme detail on him.
And yes, the eye clenched a lot of it. I, as Anya's my favorite character, wasn't too excited about the Spike wave, but after seeing them up close have changed my mind.
So it's my favy fav fav.

I'm in love with this figure! I'm very happy he's been given a different head sculpt than the others. And although I understand what others mean when they complain about the screaming face, I have to say IMO it's much better that way. I mean, I think it would be kinda crummy if he just had a blank expression on his face. Then I think more people would be complaining that it wasn't true to the moment/episode. That's my opinion anyway. Plus, yay, nipples! lol  ;D |

I am 50/50 about this Spike.
I dont like it because it is figure that would be difficult to use if you were to open it and play with it. What I mean is it has limited use.
I do like it because it is episode-specific and that is something I want Diamond to do more of. But for other episode-specific figures I would rather it be the outfit unless it has to do with a scene with 2 or more people than it would be different.
So Grave Spike gets my ok. LOL I hope there wont be nipple variants lol
by the way... dirt trails/marks on boots = super cool!!

Up close his eyes look amazing, this figure truly captures that episode. I can't wait to own this figure. Next month is so close, yet not soon enough.
