I'm surprised at another Spike but I certainly won't thumb my nose at it. I think he looks pretty cool. I'm excited at any new 12" figure as long as the look decent.

Looks really nice but I think they should focus on making new figures and go back to do different versions of characters later.

Well how fabulous, I wasn't expecting a new figure announcement.
That safety pin is freaking huge. Perhaps we should shrink that down a bit.

Doesn't look that great... I already have a Fool for Love Spike (DST's) so I'd rather have Sideshow do other characters and monsters/demons.

I love this figure. I can't wait to preorder it. I think that the only problem with his face is that his teeth has lines painted in the middle of them to show where a different tooth begins and the lines are too thick.
I really hope that they announce another figure besides different versions of the same character. I really want to see Giles, Cordelia and Drusilla soon.
Let's see how many of each character we have so far, shall we:
4 Buffy figures- 1)"Hush" 2)"Graduation Day" 3)"Prophecy Girl" 4)"Nightmares" I'd love to see a "Chosen" Buffy and "Prom" Buffy
3 Angel figures- 1)"Becoming" 2)Vampire 3)Origins
2 Spike figures- 1)"School Hard" 2)Vampire 3)"Fool for Love" if they make another, I want a Origins Spike figure
2 Willow figures 1)Vampire 2)"Dopplegangland" although I wouldn't mind another that actually looks like her and is currently up to date as well as a Dark Willow
1 Faith 1)"Bad Girls" I'd really like to see a better figure, one from "Chosen" or "End of Days"
1 Xander 1)not sure what episode he's from I really want a Vampire Xander and would prefer to have an actual "Chosen" Xander with the exact outfit that he wore, I know that the Xander figure that they made comes with an eyepatch, but it's not the same.
1 Oz 1)"Fear, Itself" I'd like to see a mid transformation Werewolf figure as well as a fully transformed figure.
Der Kindestod
The Master
Gentlemen #1 Gentlemen #2 Gentlemen #3
I really want monster/villian figures of Darla, Vampire Darla, Drusilla, Vampire Drusilla, Werewolf Oz, The Judge, Anyanka, D'Hoffryn, Vampire Xander, Mayor Wilkins, Adam, Harmony, Vampire Harmony, Fyarl Giles, Dracula, Glory, Warren, Andrew, Jonathan, Dark Willow, and "The First" (in Buffy form)
As far as characters, I want figures of Giles, Cordelia, Jenny, Kendra, Anya, Tara, Riley, Dawn, Joyce, Principal Wood, and Kennedy

I love him!! I can't wait!! He looks fantastic! I wonder if he'll also come with the long coat too as that is the episode that shows how he got it. I was hoping for a Giles next but this will do! I'm seriously going to have to consider building an addition to my house to put all these Sideshow figures in!!!

The face looks OK...except for the teeth as already mentioned. The problem with this figure is that his arms, and thus the joints, are exposed. I guess the joints don't bother some people, but I think they are pretty ugly.
I would also like to see figures of characters such as Giles and Cordelia before more variants are released.

Here's what you have to look forward to...at least the neck line can be hidden by using the right angle...not much can be done about those arms

Will pre-orders be up on tuesday?
This will make a great 12" figure, I has thinking they should of done this when looking at the DST version.
I wonder if the exclusive version (if there is one) will come with the leather jacket?

I really do love this figure but I would've appreciated him more if we hadn't just gotten a Spike figure. I would've loved to have seen Giles first, then maybe Cordelia. I would've loved a Vamp Xander to go with Xander and a Origin's Darla to go with Angel.
This figure is fantastic but I think Sideshow would do better spacing out figures of characters they've already done more than one of.
Yes, Buffy is the main character and I think they have done a nice job with spacing out her releases but even a little longer between her releases and some other characters getting a chance such as Giles and Cordelia who we don't have any of would've been nice too.
I am going to love this Spike figure, and I don't mean to make it sound like I'm disappointed in it at all, but I would've been more excited if we hadn't just gotten one not that long ago released.

I think what they're doing is alternating between doing figures that appeal to hardcore collectors and figures that appeal more to the general public. While casual viewers may love Giles, for example, most wouldn't be willing to shell out $45 for a fully-poseable Giles figure just to have him stand around and clean his glasses, while they're more likely to buy a variation of one of the three major fighting heroes (Buffy, Spike, Angel), where the appeal is to put them in fighting stances. Then, once they've bought one of them, they can buy one of the other Scoobies to stand behind/beside him/her as a sidekick, and a villain to battle. If there hasn't been a primary fighter released for months, there's no primary figure currently out for a new collector to buy a sidekick or opponent for. So releasing a new variation of the big 3 for every one or two new characters helps the sales of the new characters. At least that's my theory.
So, nobody knows when pre-order is yet?
And I suppose it'll be another month before we find out if there's another SDCC exclusive this year. I wonder what that will be?

They useually go up for pre-order a week after it's announced in the news letter. So Friday probably.
