"We caught up with Scott Braden (Marketing and Sales Coordinator) at the Diamond Select Toys booth who was happy to tell us what would be coming out in the very near future for Angel fans. "We've announced the Spike and Darla lines," began Scott, "and as far as the Spike figures we're talking about a variance: Spike when he gets his soul back, punk Spike (the 70's look), vampire Spike, and regular Spike." Scott also offered, "And we're doing regular Darla and vampire Darla and there's another surprise Darla that we're going to be announcing soon. It's interesting because so many of the characters crossed over, we're releasing it under the Angel banner but obviously some of those Spike versions appeared in Buffy, not in Angel. Like the Faith statue that we're doing," he clarified, "that comes out in the Angel banner but obviously she was a major player in Buffy too." Scott also told us that any time they do figures of Angel or Buffy characters going forward they'll continue do multiple versions and they'll be episode specific. "There will definitely be more Angel coming out," he confessed, "and there will definitely be another version of Darla that the fans will be very happy about." With a little CoA dark magick, Scott gave up a little something, something for the CoA fans. "I'll give you a little scoop," he whispered, "there' s something from this season of Angel that all the fans want and Diamond Select is going to be doing it." "Connor?" I asked. "All the fans want, not want to kill," he joked. "There's something key that the fans love from this season of Angel that we've required the ability to produce and the fans will be very, very please. It will be a total surprise; well it was going to be a total surprise," he joked. He wouldn't split the proverbial stake, so we can only guess, Puppet Angel? But as far as the future for Whedon fans and Diamond Select Toys go? "Basically we're going to keep making products that the Buffy and Angel fans love."
