yup, the hem's wired, and both shirts fit closer. (I just wanted to get photos up, so I haven't really played with him too much.) the pants have this weird buckled leather (actually plastic, but I'm guessing it's supposed to be leather) thing that wraps around the lower pantleg, where it hits the boot, but I'm assuming Spike had them in the show, too, because they look "right". they look removable, though I haven't tried.
that's all for now--errands to do! leave further questions and I'll try to get to them later.
(btw, I live in LA not too far from the shipping location in Thousand Oaks, so that's why mine got here quick.)
