Zimm's Two Cents
And here I thought that they were only doing a few in this series.

Points in Favor
  • It's part of a complete series.
  • Boots. Very cool boots. Wonder what the niece thinks of these. If she doesn't like them, then I can't show her my boots.
  • Smooth design.
  • Great colors. Black and red. LOL
Points Against
Recommendation: Buy. This entire series is worth collecting. Or am I giving it a 'buy' because it's Buffy. Probably.

Robert's Two Cents
Spike who? Buffy? He looks kinda like the guy who played Brainiac on Smallville or one of Captain Jack's former flames on Torchwood.

Points in Favor
  • Seriously though, it looks cool. I would consider it myself even though I was never a fan of Buffy.
  • This one looks more like the actual actor than any of the others even if it is a tooned up version.
  • The boots and the jacket are very cool. They take me back to the 90s when all of the cool characters had a trench coat and lots of buckles.
Points Against
  • I am not a Buffy fan. I just never got into it. I did buy the trades of the 8th series from Dark Horse, but I'm a huge Georges Jeanty fan.
Recommendation: Neutral. I like it but it's not my thing.
