Time and Space Toys is running a special with their newest exclusive figure, "Beneath You" Spike. In a recent email they stated you can get this exclusive for free by ordering $100 worth of in-stock products or gift certificates. It will also be available for individual sale on August 27th. If you notice, they confirm "Beneath You" Spike's accessories as well. Rat, shovel, stake, and Zippo lighter will compliment the figure's cross altar base. Pre-orders are also up for Schoolgirl Darla, Regular Spike, and a grouping of Spike, Darla, and Vampire Darla. You'll note that Darla's shirt has changed from white to black. This is not a variant, the color of the shirt has just been changed. Vampire Darla is going to be a limited figure (one per case). Picture here shows the change in Darla's coloring.

When I got this email, I was making the calculations as well. My opinion:
Good Deal!
I'm not a complete-ist, but there's toooooo much good stuff coming out down the road, and I'll easily spend more than $100. And Time and Space Toys has good prices for preorders, so I may as well.

I agree. Might as well re-name this the platinum blondes who wear black wave. I thought the white shirt washed her out, but the black makes her look ugly. The sexiness is gone. I know that the black is show accurate, but the white made a much nicer figure. I've had two years to accept this.  If they don't want white, how about red? A deep, velvet red would look cool. Can anyone do that on Photoshop or something? I've always thought that would look nice. Better than black on black. Especially with the variant coming with a black shirt too! |

JD said earlier that the new new paint sceme isn't a varient and this is being released instead of the white shirted one so, we wont be getting the white one. But wh knows, if there are good sales DST might make a varient of this. So probably just keep your fingers crossed. |

I liked the white shirt so much better. The black one makes her monochromatic and boring.
BOO!

Darla’s new paint scheme look rather dark blue than black…perhaps it’s the lighting but I think dark blue might actually work better than black/white.

I was so exicited for Darla (in white shirt) but this makes me change my mind. I really don't like it in all dark colors.

They need to change that back. I was so excited about having Darla in that outfit... no I'm not excited for regular Darla at all. This outfit needs to be corrected.
Its great news about the acessories for 'Beneath You' Spike, also Vampire Darla and Regular Spike are looking great.

Here's Darla with a red shirt  I have to say that I liked the white shirt better. The black seems to much to me. I know that Darla is evil and such, but black isn't the only representation of evil/dark. It could be an easy home repaint though. |

i also agree that the white shirt for Darla was better however people moaned on when figures were not episode specific and now they have people don't like it so were just gonna have to live with it.

Man I love the Spikes... 16 pts of articulation! Thats awesome! They look better every time I see them. I wish that regular Spike would come with a zippo tho.... I dunno how I can spend 100 for BYSpike... but Id only want him for the lighter LOL Does the 100 include shipping?? I love T&S for the fact that they dont charge till the figures are in... but I dont like havin to spend so much for a free exclusive figure... But I do want the reg Spike and SchoolGirl Darla(human face). Maybe I could get the Bunny Anya and the PALZ figures....

I agree. The black shirt makes her look less like she's from DST and more from MAC.

Wow, I am SO excited about finally having a Darla figure! I remember way back when she was first announced by MAC, over 3 years ago. And I remember watching her slip away through at least 4 different release dates. To finally know that she will made is a huge thrill. As the first part of Angel series 2 to be made, this is the figure that has been put off the longest (far too long). Although I guess Anya actually has been pushed back longer considering she was meant to be in series 4. Anyway, yay Darla in any shirt color! And since some are saying this new scheme is episode specific, which one is it from?

"The figure also comes with a rat and a shovel which are exclusive only to this version of Spike" This means the zippo lighter isn't exclusive to "Beneath you" Spike and should come with at least 1 other Spike figure. You may get your lighter after all.  |
