An impressive little detail, is the faintly-painted eyebrows over his eyes. The sculpt does shave down the size of his head’s scale ridge, and his eyes seem a little big when seen from the front. Instead of just having his arms to his sides, we get his right arm with a raised claw, as if he’s ready to make a suggestion. They even worked on giving him more of a dynamic pose. With animation, Spike’s form is exaggerated at times, but the sculptors at Funko managed to do a decent job translating him into 3 dimensions. Even so, his vinyl material is made from the same type as the POP figures.
Spike’s figure is the first of a smaller wave of Friendship is Magic figures, that are not in the exaggerated FunkoPOP line-up. To me, I saw them more like an older sister and an adopted brother, with the older sister kindly allowing her brother to join in with her friends and their adventures.
Some have considered Twilight and Spike’s relationship to be akin to a Mother and Son. Spike’s time with the Mane 6 definitely helped him gain a wider perspective on things that were considered “girl’s stuff,” and he also ended up having a crush on Rarity. The baby dragon assigned to be Twilight Sparkle’s assistant has been on some interesting journeys of his own. He’s been a part of the My Little Pony legacy for many years…but it was largely within the Friendship is Magic series, did Spike gain a little more respect…and a small legion of fans.
