Spike has shipped!

[olvidadero]

I have no idea, I'm going to look into it. I'm gessing shipping was more than what I expected, since the price was an estimate, but I'll see if the reason is another.

I hope i don't get charged extra because i've just spent all my money on Spike. Eeek, lol. I reckoned it up at about 150.00 so if it comes over that i'll be annoyed

Spike looks great in those pics. AS far as some minor QC problems are concerned, I would let them go because all statues have something that could be fixed and nothing is perfect. I couldn't see anything wrong in your pics.

Well when i paid for mine, with the estimated shipping cost, it came to £134.99 or something. BUT the shipping cost is just an estimate AND in the EU we have to pay 17.5% tax, which is about £30.00 on top, so it will probably be more than £150.00

Why is being a Buffy fan so expensive? I'm glad I'm not a Star Wars fanatic!!:chew

I've never had to pay tax before on any of the figures i've ordered from Sideshow in the past so i don't understand why i'd have to now? Won't they be shipping them to UK buyers from the EU warehouse?

well ive never ordered from sideshow before this
but it says that EU customers will be taxed. and a friend of mine who orders alot from sideshow said he will be stuck with tax/ custom fees

 

[Slayerverse98]

Oh well hopefully i can avoid the taxes then because like i say i haven't been charged before untill that were because they were smaller items. I believe it depends on your location?

Got my Spike yesterday - along with Cap and Maul. And between the 3 of them, my favorite is probably Spike. Cap is very cool, but this is SPIKE!

I didn't get Maul, but I also like the Spike PF more than Cap. The likeness is just so great. Cap is an awesome looking PF, too, but I feel they made him a little too thick around the mid section. I'm definitely glad I got both, though.

When I contacted SS about my damaged vamp head I didn't bother reading the "Your inquiry has been received" email. Well, I read it last night and it turns out the returns dept. is 5 days behind schedule. I just hope I hear from them before the end of this week, or I'll have to wait until Monday to find out about getting a replacement.

Second go A little better

 

[Slayerverse98]

Is it me or are Spikes pants actually the correct color?

 

[sueworld]

Oh, nice photos! Thanks for those.

Yes, for season 2 Spike, those are the correct colour for his jeans.

 

[Slayerverse98]

Hmm. I wonder why they didn't make the 12" version pants kinda greyish?

Thanks for these pics. I can't get over how cool this statue looks. His vampire face looks wicked and by that i mean very evil. They've captured Sike perfectly.

 

[olvidadero]

Great pics! Thank you. I love every detail in his outfit. The boots are spectacular.

 

[BDboystoys]

No worries! Spikes great to snap pics of
Yeah the boots are excellent and having the leather mixed in with the sculpt makes it look all the more authentic looking.

While the regular head sculpt is dead on, I like the Vamp Head more. It just oozes personality. After all, Spike was at his best in S2, when he was evil and game faced.
I couldn't be more happy with the PF, they just nailed it. Cant wait for everyone to have it in hand.
Kudo's to SS.
:chew

I think nobody has mentioned it before, or at least I've never read it in this board, but his teeth are quite weird looking to me. Maybe it's only my perception, but I think the teeth in the vamped out portrait don't look like fangs, but more like "big teeth". They don't look that bad at all, but it makes the sculpt being not as perfect as the human head. Said that, it's not that big deal to me, because I'm going to display him with the human head. And overall, that's my only complaint about this incredible statue.

What do you guys think of the teeth/fangs?

I understand what you mean, but in person it looks good and just that he's game faced, but his vamp teeth are just behind his bottom lip. It translates well when you see it in person.
It just looks right for spike, I mean you never saw his fangs popping over his lips other than when he was going for the kill or had his mouth wide open and it suits the pose extremely well.
Me likey

 

[Slayerverse98]

I see what you mean about the teeth but i think they look fine

BD, did you adjust his t-shirt? I'd swear that mine has a much bigger collar.
