I have a quick question, will Illyria be catagorized as a regular figure? I ask because my local Suncoast is the only place that carries the DST figures. They sell the figures for $11.95 so it's a lot easier and cheaper to get them there vs. paying $20.00 (or more) through someone online.

Most online retailers sell it for 11.99, so perhaps you might be lucky with this one.

Xander000, Grad Day Angel is the Suncoast exclusive, I think. And damn, you guys, I saw we had two pages of posts and I thought somebody must have the figs by now. (Yeah, Matt, you got me, too. Good one.

Just got the new Buffy Magazine and on the back cover it shows pics of the new figures! Pretty cool (and inside has an aricle on the Buffy Dawn wave with some pics we've already seen, as well as the Library set - can't wait to get them all! It does confirm there will be 3 Dawn's, so I guess that means the PonyTail version is going to be made afterall - thank goodness!).
Anyway, back to Angel/Fred/Illyria (and I'm sure this has probably already been covered elsewhere, but handy reference to have it in this thread) - it looks as though Illyria will be an exclusive to Previews to answer BuffyLover's question. Oddly though, I remember my local comic store getting figures that had been labelled as Preview Exclusives I think, so maybe she won't be hard to find. Anyway, the "regular" Non-Exclusives figures will be Season 3 Fred and Season 5 Angel, and also Shells Illyria - tho we know she is going to be a 1-per-case "Chase" Figure.
The rest are listed as:
Figure - Eclusive To: Vamp Angel - Tower Records Pylean Demon - Time & Space Toys.com Ring Angel - AFX Grad Day Angel - Suncoast Illyria - Previews Exclusive
I'm guessing since no one has them yet that my dealer was right about the shipping dats - major Bummer!!! Grrr Argh - I want the NOW!!! And Buffy and Dawn NOW! :-) Oh - I had asked before - does the Buffy Figures Collector Club tend to ship figures about the same time as everyone else, or are they behind (or maybe even earlier than everyone else)? Does anyone know? Anyone here a member? I'm considering joinging - but being impatient, only if I get the figures at the same time as the rest of the world (or earlier, of course). Thanks for anyone who has any info or klnows how they tend to operate! :-)

Previews exclusives ship to all comic shops...Previews is a comic distributor or something. So Illyria will be the easiest exclusive to find. Anywhere that had Bad Girls Wesley and EOD Faith will have Illyria.

Thats good to know. My suncoast has an over abundance of EOD Faith. I was afraid I was going to have a hunt for Illyria!

If we don't have the figures yet, at least somebody put some new images of the figures.

LMFAO, soooooooorryyyyyyyyyyyyy everybody!! Trust me, I know exactly what each and every one of you are going through. It's driving me nuts, each day that I have go to Angel-less yet again. So, I decided to take my pain, anguish and impatience and turn it into a fun-spirited joke!! xD I'm glad it went over so well! I had to modify my post like three times just to make sure I got the second part low enough so it wouldn't be seen right away, but still high enough so it wouldn't bring my post down to a ridiculous size. Happy Friday, everyone! ^_^ Hopefully we get our hands on these guys (and gals) SOON! Oh, and sorry to the person above me about the whole 'discussion thread' thing. I just figured I'd let people have some fun with this thread before the actual release. Yeah you totally got me! I was like "How did they get these figures before all the shops did?" LOL

From what it looks like TST BCC has a lot of them in stock (or will very soon), all except Vamp Angel and The Ring Angel (They said that the figures would ship by Wednesday). They have changed the titles on thier figures and Vamp and The Ring are the only ones that say preorder on them still. The Buffy Vs. Dracula has also been removed from preorder. It's getting closer and closer to me having my figures and I can't wait.

Well, all your comic stores should have them this Wednesday, as mine already has them! Theyre being tough as hell though and not pricing them until tomorrow, so I cant pick it up till tomorrow afternoon. Blah. ::::EDIT:::: I went over to the store a little while ago, and they did indeed have them. They had one case, with ANGEL/FRED ASST. (8 PCS) written on the side. So I'm assuming thats 3 Angels, 2 Freds, 2 Previews Illyria, and 1 Shells Illyria or something to that effect. The owner wasnt there and didnt want the guy to sell them until tomorrow, so Im shit out of luck till then.

Sometimes Diamond ships action figures seperately through UPS (I'm still not sure why) so they arrive a few days early. We received the basic case of Angel/Fred figures today. Here are some pictures. Some of the pictures have a yellowish tint to them because of the light I took them under. Actually, I think the skin tone that was used for both characters is too pale. Also, I seem to have forgotten to take a picture of Angel in his box. Sorry ANGEL AND FREDSHELLS ILLYRIAI'm not sure when (or if) I'll be opening this one up, so here are some pictures of her in the box. I'm still not sure I like the Angel figure or not. It just seems to me that there is something off about the face. I'm glad I finally have Fred, and am looking forward to getting Illyria on wednesday. The two figures I opened stand very well on there own. The one problem I found was the paint applications on some of the faces in the case. One particular Fred figure had a LARGE gummy paint clot on the side of her face, and I saw paint smears on the inside of the blister packaging. So, look closely at the faces. These figures look better in their 6 inch size up on the shelf then they do in close-up pictures. They are nice additions to your display, but as I said previously, I'm not overly impressed with the Angel figure. I still can't put my finger on what though. But, of course, this is just one persons humble opinion. Well, that's all folks. Hope you like the pics. Karen (Waiting breathlessly for the Buffy/Dawn wave)

Thanks for the pics. I should be receiving mine tomorrow, I was billed from T&ST BCC today and the bill said that these items are in stock. I had on the one order, some Angel figures and the 2 Buffy busts, so I am hoping that I will get my Buffy VS Dracula bust sent with the Angel figures.

Is it my imagination or do both Freds look better now?
I agree with you about the Angel figures Karen, they do look a bit "off".
cheers

Illyria is looking fantastic! Can't wait to get mine! ;D
Judging by Fred I guess DST wasn't too pleased with her which is why theres 2 Illyrias and only 1 Fred. I hope she looks a lot better in person.
