It's been a bloody long wait but I finally received my Spike figure today. The wait was definitely worth it, though, because it's the exclusive version and I got it at cost from a member of another board. :) I've seen it sell for $100+ on eBay, and whilst I don't think it's worth paying that much extra for the hands they are definitely a good thing to have.
I'm really, really happy with this figure. It looks just as good as the prototype, to me anyway. My main criticism is his extremely aqua-blue eyes. I think they draw way too much attention to themselves and imo they also hurt the likeness slightly.
Unfortunately I haven't yet had the chance to pose the figure properly, but here's a quick snap I took earlier. I'll try and get some more up later.
It's definitely notched up my anticipation for the upcoming figures in the line.#nosmileys

The exclusive comes with both the gloved hands and the black fingernails.

The normal version comes with hands that are permanently covered with gloves. The exclusive version comes with non-gloved hands that have painted black fingernails, but it also comes with the gloved hands from the normal version. I ended up using the gloves anyway, so whaddayaknow? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) The Cross of Du Lac was just so cool that I had to display it ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . ![](http://tinyurl.com/27jh2) The pose might look a little awkward in the photo, but I think it looks great in person. I'll probably take some more tomorrow but I will do it outside so that I don't need the flash.

Awesome poses ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) The extra set of hands are better for those non-episode specific moments, but like you said that DuLac cross is just too cool! And an aside: why does Buffy's 'leather' jacket look more realistic than Spike's 'leather' trenchcoat? ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) That's about the only thing I didn't like about Spike, besides the red long sleeved shirt that instead has ¾ length sleeves... and is the wrong red color (should be a bit more crimson than maroon). I might get the Angel one, hopefully he can be had for a reasonable price. Haven't been checking his prices on ebay or anywhere else... ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Spike does look cool in those pictures. But is it just me or he seems a bit bulky?

Yeah, he does look a bit bulky I guess. One of the downsides of the 'real' clothing. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand how it could be a problem for some. It's not too bad, though, and is mainly due to his coat.
