I hope they stay away from Wesley for a while and go with Angel, Cordelia and Doyle. And I hope it leads to 2 Doyle figures...human and demon. And then we can never think about him again, because all the bases will have been covered.

Doyle just seems like the first choice to add to team Angel, after all he was part of the original Season 1 Team Angel. He also needs a figure desperately. I wouldn't mind not having another Wesley. They can wait until Season 2 Team Angel figures are on the plan. I think that this is a very good thing to do if they continue by doing all of the seasons this way as well as with Buffy. Although on Buffy there are so many more characters that I think that they would have to be each split into 2 different sets as a Scooby Gang Season 1 Part 1 & Part 2 and continue by doing this each season. I am really hoping that them doing this also warrants them to come out with an Angel playset or at least to have better bases with these figures making up Angels first office.

Yeah, its obviously Doyle, if they wanted it as Angel, Cordy and Wes it would just be 'Team Angel' but season 1 was Angel, Cordelia, Doyle (for the first half) and Wesley (for the second half), and Gunn for 2 episodes, Gunn and Wesley were in all the other seasons, Doyle wasnt, so it must be him! If it isnt, Ill be mad! Oh, and theres a season 2 Wesley coming in the Watchers boxset, so if theres a season 1 Wesley, which we have already, than Ill be mad as a mother! Doyle is needed, as is Gunn, but I want either a season 3 one or a lawyer, but I want both! I really hope its City Of party dress Cordelia, she looked really pretty, and it would be mad easy! Like red dress Glory but a different color dress, like a brownish and a new head, or just new hair! But I feel like its either going to have them all from City Of or all from Hero! If thats true, I loved both episodes and would want figures from them! So bring them on!

I'm totally into this idea, and I too really hope it is Doyle and not another Wes. Sure, I like Wes but we've got plenty of him (and even a new one in the Watcher's Boxset as others have noted). I agree Doyle needs made - he was one of the original founding members, in the credits (if that actually counts for anything) and pretty essential to the Angel mythos (without Doyle, Cordy would have never become vision-girl - it goes on and on!). The *only* thing that worries me is how they'd handle the demon face bit...if we only get Doyle in the "Team" boxset...then will there be a limited number of "Demon Doyles" in random boxsets or something naft like that? I'd get both - but they'd have to have repaints of Cordy's outfit and a Vamped-out Angel also as the variant in the SAME pack as the Demon Doyle Variant. Anyway, I agree with whoever posted the idea of the boxsets from the beginning and end of both shows - awesome idea!!!

i don't think wesley would be in this for the fact is he is in the watcher boxeset. So if it does happen im think Angel, Doyle, Cordeila hopefully from Episode Hero.

I really like the idea of having these sets/waves. I just hope it comes true, and we get a Doyle. We so need a Doyle, he was a big part of Angel's history.

This could be an opportunity for us to see new Freds in sets from later seasons!

I would LOVE this idea.
Doyle & a NEW Cordy! Perfecto!
That said - please, please, please give us a better Cordy sculpt for this one DST...the current batch of Cordy's just isn't cutting it.

Well, I think they all look great and resemble CC much more than the ones from MAC (Angel series 1)...If people keep bitching (ME included, lol) I am scared we won't get anymore figures at all. The You're welcome Cordy is absolutely divine , and the Wish one as well. Compared to prototype, Princess Cordy is so much better. Of course a new cordy is always nice, but getting characters that have not been released is a priority for a lot of members, I believe... Gunn, Harmony, Kennedy, Wood, Adam, Riley, and some villains/monsters.

We wouldnt have to bitch, if the figures weren't so terrible! for example Vampire Buffy, she has such a beautiful Facial Sculpt, but they had to ruin it with those Ugly legs of hers!

As someone who spends my hard-earned money on their product, I feel verrrrrry comfortable voicing my dissatisfaction with the CC sculpts. I have no doubt that many of us would like new characters, but if DST is talking about doing a Season 1 boxset of the team, I will be vocal about the need for a better Cordy.

I would be willing to bet that there is no way DST is going to pay for another all new sculpt of Cordelia just to get a season 1 varient. I will be shocked and amazed if they do. I am afraid that if you do not like any of the new Cordelia's, then you are out of luck because they are not going to do her again in the regular line. Maybe you should start looking for an old MAC Cordelia if the new ones aren't good enough for you; or you will have to do without Cordelia if you just cannot lower your standards and see her as good enough. Cordelia has been done, re-done, and re-re-done. There have been 8 different Cordelia figures produced to date. If you can't find one to please you ,then I guess you will have to do without.

Since you don't run DST, that's quite a statement for you to make. I think, between box sets & the deluxe line, anything is possible. With Buffy & Willow being the anchors of the Buffy series and Angel and Cordy being the anchors of the Angel series, I think that counting any of the four out in the future wouldn't be prudent. And I'm not sure why anybody wants to be huffy about it. I'm simply saying that I like the idea of the box set, and I hope that DST gives us a new Cordy sculpt because the next wave isn't doing it for me (and, since you read the board, you probably recognize that a number of people have voiced the same opinion about the new sculpts). But thanks for your response!

I agree with SlayerLover34, I will be mighty surprised if theres a new sculpt of Cordelia in the boxset. The head sculpt is fine, and they can just repaint and shell look great. I wouldnt rule out Buffy, Willow, Angel and Cordelia, but we just had a Line of Buffy, with 7 new figures, and the Angel figures, 6 new figures, and the 3 new Cordelia figures, not to mention all the MAC figures produced of theses characters before. And Willow is in the next deluxe line, with Angel and Buffy produced before. If the Cordelia figures dont sell well, I doubt theyll be gun ho about putting her in the deluxe line. With this boxset theyre already going to make a Doyle head (like the previous one made a new Joyce head) and theyll probably just reuse other bodies and parts to create Angel and Cordelia. All brand new sculpts would be very expensive, and its not DST style. I think repainting The Wish Cordy would be the best bet, itll be perfect for her dress from City Of. The only reason I see them doing a new sculpt would be if they wanted her from Hero, other than that maybe a new hair sculpt tops. Also, you can see in other threads, people dont want re-dos of figures already produced. The fans want figures that havent been created before we get MORE Buffy, Willow, Cordelia, and Angels! Yeah maybe in a boxset or 2-pack, but the Angel/Buffy 2 pack has a reused Angel head on a reused Wesley body. The boxset, Watchers, has a reused Wes head and a reused Wes body. Theyll reused parts, not make new sculpts.

I won't mind if the reused parts for the body if they did a new head sculpt for Cordelia. The only reason I can think of for the Cordelia line not doing well is because of the lack of likeness to CC.

In the tone of Han Solo, "Who's Huffy?" BTW, Kassle, Thank You for pointing out that I do not run DST, I must have forgotten. I can guarantee you if I did, you would not be getting any Cordelia's at all. That is why I said "I would be willing to bet", not "I know for sure". Also thank you for misinterpreting my post and putting me in my place. I was not aware that you were the one running DST, please forgive me for expressing a thought. Like I said, if the new Cordlia's are not "doing it for you", then like I said," I guess you will have to do without". When I say "new" Cordelia's, that includes any season 1 or other varients that may come. To date: DST has NEVER sculpted an "all new" character for any 2-pack or boxset, so don't count on it. D'Hoffryn doesn't count because they did not sculpt him. By the way, just because I don't run DSt, how do you know that I do not know what I'm talking about? I may have inside info, for all you know. And thank you for your response also.

I absolutely agree with you. And this isn't news. Many of us have voiced discontent with the head sculpt. If they kit-bash something, that's good by me. I'm just hoping for a new head! As an aside - Slayerlover...I gave up reading your post mid-way through. I have no doubt that you had some amazing points, though, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

You too, Kassle, I really was not tryin to be rude, but I was trying to make a valid point. Well, maybe I was trying to be a little sarcastic, but weren't you too? I do happen to know what I am talking about and maybe if you read the whole thing you would see the point. To add: A new "head" sculpt would not be out of the question, we may get more than one, but an "all new" sculpt for a boxset is very unlikely, but you never know. I hope you eventually get a Cordelia that you like and no hard feelings. Truce?
