now that the smoke has cleared and all the variants have been announced, I must say I am most underwhelmed and disappointed with the current state of the 6" regular line. DST had better announce the next line soon because I am mighty uninterested with this line and Wesley and Lorne. I think it might just be Angel.....I really don't like the show that much...

Well, it is probably because you are not a big ANGEL fan. I love ANGEL, and I can't wait to get these figures. I am really excited about Wes and Lorne too.
Don't worry, the next line is probably BUFFY, since the last three were ANGEL.

My thoughts exactly; these figures are geared at Angel fans. If you're not one, then you probably don't give a damn who Lorne or Fred are. It would be like me complaining about a new line of Law & Order figures being too boring. |

I think it might just be Angel.....I really don't like the show that much... Wow, nice detective work there Sherlock. It's a pretty far-fetched theory, but you might be on to something... not liking figures based on a show you don't like... I guess it is possible... I just thank God that you started a whole new thread for this. This is the sort of momentous announcement that should be stickied for all to see. It would be truly tragic if this highly important knowledge about your personal feelings on this were overlooked after being posted in one of the many other threads on this line. Thanks for doing everyone on this board a service. |

I personally can't WAIT for these figures, especially Lorne, Angel and Illyria, I think DST has really outdone themselves on these figure, with Illyria in particular
..but I swear to Holy God, if we don't get a line of like, 10 Cordelias from Buffy AND Angel soon, I'm going to kill someone

I’m not such a big fan of Angel (the show) but even I’m very excited with this line (Illyria, especially  ). |

I love Angel, but this line makes me a bit "iffy." The Wesleys and Lornes don't excite me too much, mainly because some of them are very close to each other. Therefore, I will probably only be getting 2 Wesleys and a Lorne. (unless I get more money..) On the other hand, I can't wait to get Fred and especially Illyria! I'll probably get most of the Angels too.  |

As an Angel & Buffy fan, I will say I am less interested in what has been announced in the Fred/Angel/Illyria wave.
The variants of Angel are just ok. And the regular Fred has yet to grow on me much. That doesn't bother me as much because with the sculpting on Shells Illyria, you know there is a Fred/Wes "A Hole in the World" two-pack coming so I will get my Season 5 Fred.
Illyria, Baby Conner and the awesome bases almost redeem this wave for me but I really hope to see more tweaks to the sculpts before release to improve on the likenesses.
The latest packaged photos of the Wes/Lorne figures convinced me my preorders were worth it - I'm getting every single one. But I do agree that they should bring on the Dawn/Buffy wave we are all (or most of us) are waiting for.

I love (and plan to get) all Angel figures but I'm more interested in BTVS. I'm really looking forward to the day that a Dawn and Riley figure are released to I can finally complete the Scooby gang (season 5 and 6).

I am a hardcore Angel fan, and I must say I'm really excited towards the Wesley and Lornes. All their problems have slowly been phased out and they look some of the coolest yet. I'm not as excited with this line, but I know there are a few gems (Vampire Angel and of Course, Illyria). I have faith in Diamond and I just know that Fred's problems will be sorted out too. I think Danman is right, maybe it's because you don't like Angel and these lines have very few Buffy variants. That doesn't bother me as much because with the sculpting on Shells Illyria, you know there is a Fred/Wes "A Hole in the World" two-pack coming so I will get my Season 5 Fred. When Did this happen? |

I must own all the Lorne and Wesley line. I love all of the figures in that and think they cover all bases for the characters especially Wesley. The Angel and Fred line I'm still excited for and will get all the Fred and Illyria's but I'm gonna wait until we get newer pics on some of the Angel figs as I'm not really keen on Graduation Day Angel.

From your lips to DST's ears.
And I have to agree that another Fred would be awesome. I don't care if it's a Hole in the World two pack, or a con exclusive, just PLEASE give me a Fred that's not in pigtails!!

I am more excited about the upcoming Wes/Lorne and Angel/ Fred/ Illiyria lines than any previously! My only request would be a S5 Fred even just as a repaint of Shells Illiyria with maybe a few sculpting changes. I LOVE the direction that DST are taking the Buffy/Angel line. They are my favourite company EVER! My only fault is that I would like Doyle and Lyndsey!

Not me I am so happy DST made the last lines from Angel so we can have close to the same number of waves for each show. I love both shows, so Yay for me. I dont quite get how you cant be excited about Wes-I mean he has been around since s3 of Buffy he totally deserves a figure. not just that but I mean his character had wonderful story arc's-and he went from a big chicken shit watcher to a bad ass Wes is awesome! and DST chose great variants. Angel how can you NOT want an Angel-he is an original cast member-and not like the variants-DST (again) chose awesome variants DST choses great varaints for all their figures (OK except Tara) the give us at least 3 of each and all of them get different sculpts-way cool!

I cant wait for this line. Illyria, demon angel, vamp angel. I love the prototypes so when the actual ones are released I'm gonna go crazy!!  Its also nice to have a good angel figure. The original in buffy series one was a really good likeness for buffy season one but by the time DB got to angel he had filled out a bit ( not in a bad way, more muscle) and wasnt so skinny. What im trying to say is that its nice to have a recent more musclure angel as the angel series one figure was crap. I really dont like shells illyria tho... I'm not as excited about the wes and lorne line. I'll be buying BG wes as he comes with a library floor base and glasses but the rest arent that great. I'll also be buying parting gifts I think but apart from that the rest are all too similar. I may stretch the purse strings and buy another wes like ROF and I will be buying one lorne. I'l probably buy the one in the golden suit (cant remember the episode) but like the wes line, the lornes are too similar. I think they should have put wesley as a secondary character like Fred is. Loads will disagree as he has been with angel since season one but it would have been better to have wesley as a secondary chaarcter to cordy. The best would be if Fred had the main line; five variants of herself with wes as the secondary figure for that line. I can only dream...  |

Well, its not just Lorne and Fred, I actually like Lorne the best out of all four figs, I just.........I don't know. It's hard to defend myself because I'm not passionate about it at all. That was the point of the post, these do not envoke any emotion out of me at all. I guess I just don't like that the Angel line is going into a more exclusively Angel direction. Before we had Faith, Darla, Cordy, and Spike, who were all characters on Buffy first............

In defense of dcfoeva, I must say that I AM a big fan of Angel, the show, but the Wes / Lorne wave and the Angel / Fred / Illyria waves are making me do back flips. I really would like Illyria, but the others are just ok.

Kinda the same.
Dissapointed in Fred and the lack of variants for "Fred" (as opposed to Illyria). Also the outfit and hair etc, just don't "scream" Fred to me.
Wasn't interested in getting an Angel anyway as waiting for the deluxe version. Though I do hope the deluxe version is better than the regular versions. I'm stuck by the fact that there isn't just a regular Angel - black pants, black/grey shirt and long black jacket?
Referee Angel looks off and Vampire Angel also looks off in that blue shirt.
Excited about Wes and Lorne and Illyria though. And will still get Fred, but waiting to hear news of any exclusive versions first.
Cheers,
Haeph.
