I really want to love the Schoolgirl Darla's, (cause they're the Darla's I'm buying) but they're looking super bootleg everytime I see them. her head should be cut off at the jaw, not mid-neck. And her whole body just looks so weird. LOVE the Spikes!

her head should be cut off at the jaw, not mid-neck. That's bothering me too. I like the vamp face on regular Darla better, even though it's the same sculpt, correct? The Spikes, however, I love. Definitely buying those.

I know this is off topic, but does anyone else get a strange, excited, tingly, satisfaction feeling from seeing theese pics.

All I can say is..........WOW! I was originally planning to buy just 1 Spike and 1 Darla, but that is out the window. Now it is more like 3 Spike's (Black Shirt Human Spike, Vampire Spike & 'Grave' Spike) and 2 Darla's (White Shirt Human Darla & Vampire School Girl Darla) at the very least. I just can't wait for December or whenever these come out.

Cute kitten. Excellent for poker! Yes, the sliced throat on Darla is a bummer, although it is the same on both the Dru figures and doesn't look too bad. It is hard to compare Schoolgirl Darla with the standard figure because that one is not yet articulated. It might well have slash-throat syndrome, when it is.

WOW.. I was really surprized to see all of these. The only spike I don't care for is the "Beneath You" spike. He just looks like a wrestling figure or something.

These figures are awesome. My first thought when I saw the "Benath You" Spike was that he will be easy to repaint into say..."Crush" Spike with his green clothes.
The likeness is eerily perfect. I can not wait to get him. The detail is amazing. This makes me so excited for the future lines. I am so hoping when we get a new Cordelia line, they look just as awesome.

Hate to be Mr. Negative but these pics just don't excite me at all. Spikes arms make him look like a flapping chicken and all of the Darla heads make me want to barf. Schoolgirl Darla looks amazing far away, but the face really ruins it. I think Vamp Spike will be my fav, but I'll have to see them up close. Hopefully more pics will change my mind, but if they don't...at least I get to keep some more money.

Punk Spike is one of my favorite figures ever. The expression is amazing. I'm just hoping DST can find a way to put rips in his jeans (some creative paint ops?).
I really like schoolgirl Darla's shoes (both versions) -- I have no idea if they're show-accurate, but I love the little straps. I'm also really bummed about the cut on the neck -- vamp Dru has the same thing, and it was the first thing I saw when I took her out of the box. I personally think it makes the sculpts look sloppy, and it seems like it wouldn't be a difficult thing to clean up. I could be totally wrong, though, and it won't stop me getting these figures.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with Spikes arms. They just look more poseable, I like them better this way than if they were straight down. I think that Darla's face actually looks pretty good and resembles her the way that she used to like at the beginning of Buffy. I will be gladly buying 2 of every figure.

I wasn't too excited about this wave when it was first annouced but now I'm blown away. The Spikes do look better than ever but the school girl Darla was and fantastic addition. Thank you DST!!! I just hope the chase figures aren't too hard to get.

That's a railroad spike, not a stake.
