Those are the old sculpts though. I think we are getting new ones.
Maybe we should begin a separate section for ANGEL III now that we have some solid info. I expect we will be getting some pics soon. Though i think they will be coming out in toyfare magazine.

Yeah, those two had the best bases MAC ever made! They best keep them. The news is hardly that surprising, so now the question comes down to the more important: what will they look like (new sculpts for sure?) and what are the variants? Exciting stuff though, I can't wait to see what DST does for a bunch Wesleys! I love Lorne too, but outside of different colored suits, I can't think of many variants... Pylea Lorne maybe? He'd need too much resculpting I think.
These guys were first announced over 3 YEARS ago... getting them after the even more delayed Anya figure is a pretty big deal to long-time collector's like myself!

I have to say Im very excited about Wesley and what varients DST have to offer, however Lorne is slightly dissapointing. He isn't a huge character but I do understand why the figure is being made. Using existing sculpts is cheeper than sculpting from scratch. I cannot wait for Wesleys weapons cabnet, it will be the best base ever! I hope some changes are done for Wesley such as new hair sculpt but apart from that, I can't wait!!!  |

On the other hand, the fact that they chose these two seems te imply that they're following in MAC's footsteps. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I gotta agree here, they're just releasing 2 figures MAC started and never finished. I think they'll continue throughtout the year with the same MAC sculpts for the demon figures we've seen before (adam, demon giles, etc) I hope they do something new but so far it doesn't seem likely. |

Thanks for the spoiler, Diamond. Some of us haven't seen the last box set of the DVDs yet, you know! It doesn't come out for awhile yet. Damn.

You can't blame DST here, a spoiler is usually used for future epsiodes that have not aired yet.
The last episode of Angel aired over 6 months ago and the show is done. All the deaths in the final eps have been talked about all over the place, it's not their fault.
There are people who haven't even seen season 1 yet, can't wait for eveyone to catch up.

Nope fact of the matter is these are both new sculpts. And new figures not MAC sculpts are coming. The line is different from MAC and will not repeat the left overs that were never finished. In the coming weeks more info will be out and when Spike/Darla line is out there will be more annoucements. I would have to say this group will be very happy with the coming goodies ;D |

Well I gotta disagree, cause I think it is the DVD box sets that enabled these toys to have a second life. So a little spoiler-sense for these new fans would have been nice.

DST just probably thought that if it had been aired in the US and the UK then most people would have seen it. If it has upset you then send them an email.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they have planned: I think it'll be something like this: Regular Wesley Bad @$$ Wesley Watcher Wesley Vengeful Wesley from 'Shells' Regular Lorne Smile Time Lorne (Only accesory being Puppet Angel  ) Vegas Lorne I would like an undercover Lorne, but I wouldn't hold out much hope for one  With regards to Wesley, he is definatley going to sell very well! I have no worries about Diamond going wrong with him - As i know that he'll provide them with good sales, and us with good Figures. The only one I'm worried about is Lorne. This is a grey area - for a character that isn't popular enough for multiple sculpts, all I can do is cringe and live in hope. I can't see anyone buying 5 repaints of one figure, like MAC would have done. That's why I said that they should make a Smile Time Lorne. This way, we get a VERY nice repaint, and a puppet Angel (exclusive to THIS FIGURE). I think a Vegas variant would be cool too, so i just threw that one it too What do you guys think? |

I can't wait for these figures. The part that most excites me is that their going to be new sculpts, truth be told I didn't care for MACs sculpts of these characters. I'm so excited I can't wait for pictures. Diamond you are great!

Here what I would like
season 2 wesley as the regular figure
rogue demon wesley
watcher wesley
"malboro man" wesley
not fade away wesley
the real probleme to me is the weapon cabinet, don't get me wrong I love and I want it but come on 3 out of the 5 wesley don't match the cabinet
season 2/3 lorn
palya lorn (this one want I happen I guess)
smile time lorn with puppet angel
not fade away lorn with gunn and vampire puppet angel
The base mac design for him in the first place, even if it doesn't match every figure is ok

Where is this coming from that Wesley and Lorne are going to be all new sculpts?

They could have 2 Wesley figures on Angel cards and
2 Wesley varients on Buffy cards, like the Spike figures. Only the Angel figures would come with the weapons cabinet. The Buffy Wesley's could come with cool new Buffy accessories!

Awesome news that these will be new sculpts! Honestly I did not like those MAC sculpts, Lorne especially was unnatural and cartoonish. We must get the Bad Ass Wesley from Season 4-5 with the shotguns and pistols... and hopefully not two dozen colored suits for Lorne.  Puppet Angel as an accessory is a must! It would certainly help drive sales for whichever Lorne gets him. |
