Hmmm…that’s interesting. On one hand, YAY!! ;D
On the other hand, if they decided to cancel Darla exclusive, then why to show it on SDCC? Also, didn’t someone mention they were taking preorders for these figures?

So does that mean no Anyanka? Sounds like just the 2 willow exclusives would be made if it's true.

They seem pretty reliable.They emailed me about the cancellations before it was common knowledge. And they update their website all the time. They've removed Angel 2 but have Buffy 5 upfor pre order Check it out: www.forbiddenplanetstore.com/acatalog/index.html |

I'd still like to hear something from Moore to know it's truly OFFICIAL. I hope they update their site soon. They should be back from the convention, right? *checks watch* This is agony...

Hmm, they still have vamp darla up under the Buffy Limited Variants section. They still have summer release dates for her and the 2 willow variants though

They put them up before the cancellations but they also had Angel 2 up, but when they were cancelled they took Angel 2 down immediately but left the Buffy 5 up.
I emailed them at the time and asked why they still had the Buffy up and they said they'd keep them up for a couple of weeks, as it was confirmed that Angel 2 wasnt going ahead but Buffy 5 wasn't confirmed as completely cancelled, and when it was they'd take it down and scrap the pre orders.
They supply most of the UK so they're on the ball.

yeah, I got a similar response from my local retailer today, he's supplied by the same distributer as Forbidden Planet, I'm quite happy now. ;D

are aware Series 2 Angel and definitely been cancelled and we will not ever
be getting any, we will also not stock the Darla exclusive, but will get

"We will not stock the Darla exclusive, but we will get both exclusive Willow figures"..... They won't stock it... MAC still shows it at SDCC. I think Vamp Darla is going to be made, but not any of the regular Angel 2 figs. At least not yet. |
