Spike Bust Review
Here's a little review about the upcoming Spike Bust |
By Michael Crawford | January 24, 2006
Everyone loves a bad boy. All the boys want to be him, all the girls just want him. In the Buffy universe, there was one ultimate bad boy - Spike.
Oh sure, Angel ended up the star of his own show, but he wasn't really a 'bad' boy. He was a good guy misunderstood, the Peter Parker of the blood sucking set. But Spike was bad first, and only over time did some of his more endearing qualities emerge.
It should be no surprise that some of the most popular merchandise for the show has been based around Spike. The Buffy 12" versions have been hot sellers right from the start, and the MAC 6" Spike is perhaps the best work from that now defunct company.
Diamond took over the Buffy/Angel mantle from MAC in the action figure and bust world, and have been producing a ton of figures. The latest mini-bust is the normal, or un-vamped, version of Spike, retailing for around $40. Production on this guy was limited to 3000 busts.

"Spike mini-bust"
DST has made a switch with the Buffy and Angel busts. Back when MAC was producing them, they were true busts, lacking arms and starting at the chest. DST mimiced that early on, but with the release of the latest Buffy, Oz and now Spike versions, they have switched to a more 'half statue' appearance. These start around the waist or slightly lower, and include both arms.
