Angel Series III: Official Announcement

[Neo Phoenix]

I'm getting all the Spike & Darla figures but i'm not a huge Wesley fan so i'd say i'll just be getting a "Rain of Fire" Wes. I was really hoping they'd make a "Life of The Party" 'Hulk' Lorne but i'll just have to settle for "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" Lorne with removable head instead

[Cordy]

I SO want them all , they all sound great . I'm totally excited . I wondered when/if they do a Fred if she will have a Waiting in the Wings varient or a Box set with Wes/Fred/Gunn . The Lornes sound great i would love to get them .

OMG - that would be a great one.

[IdoDoodle]

This is AWESOME news! I'm going to have to get them all!

[Moe]

They sound great! I'd still like the MAC Wesley tho'. Can't wait for pics!

One thing that strikes me tho' is that there isn't a season 5 Wes. I was sure there'd be a "Shells"/"Not fade away" Wesley with season 5 accessories like the staff of devosynn, the nerual intercept grenade, and a magic fireball.

[Immortal]

I like the varients a lot! The Wesleys sound great, as do the Lornes. I hope I can get my hands on a 'No Place Like Plrtz Glrb' Lorne!

[Afer]

cool! thanks for the info!!!!!!!!! not buying any of these but the "No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" sound so cool i will be getting that one! as soon as we get pics plz post them!!!! lol

I'm so happy we are getting so many Wesley's. Rain of Fire Wesley and Season 4 Wesley do seem like they will look the same. Maybe one will have a jacket and one won't? That would be a way to make them look very different. While I kindof wish that there was a season 5 Wesley instead of two season fours, did Wesley realy change that much in appearance between the two seasons? I know there is a slight change, but not as dramatic as some other changes he has had.
These are the main different looks of Wesley's that I can think of

Buffy Wesley
First Angel Appearence Rouge Deamon Hunter
The normal Wesley look - shown from 1st - Near the end of 3rd Season Angel
Wesley after the whole Connor thing. End of season 3 and on.

So basically we are getting all of his looks except for the normal Wesley look that he had for nearly 3 seasons. Unless you count Waiting in the wings Wesley, but he normally didn't wear a tux for those 3 years. However, my favorite look of wesley is from season 4, so I don't really mind. I hope one of them show his scar.

I'm so happy we are getting a Buffy version of Wesley, he's changed so much since then. And I never even thought they would actually do a Waiting in the Wings Wesley, but I love the idea.

The removable head Lorne is an awesome idea. Not only is it something that we have wanted, but it's a way to make a figure that is a definite variant from the original, rather then just have numerous repaints like Tara. I'm hoping that the Lorne's will have different expressions. Regular figure - normal expression. Beheaded figure - either a shocked expression or an eye's closed "dead" look.

I'm very pleased with the anouncement. Wow, this and Tivo to Go all in the same day. :-)

[xander000]

when are the picture coming, I meen since when do we get to know accessories, variant, retailer before seeing the actual figure?

Isn't there a new toyfare coming tomorow?maybe we will see theme there...

[shabbyblue]

DST is probably planning to reveal the figures next month at New York's Toy Fair, so that's when we'd get pics.

I also think that the "Waiting in the Wings" Wesley tuxedo body could potentially be re-used by DST if they remake Xander in a future wave and do a wedding variant to go with wedding Anya. All they have to do is put a Xander head on the generic tuxedo body

[buffyfannumerouno]

I love all of their choices, and can't wait for pictures. I'm wondering if they are even using MACs original sculpts or if they are coming out with thier own head sculpts, MACs were awful. I can't wait to add all of these great figures to my collection and am very glad that they will have a Wesley figure based on one of his Buffy appearances.

[The Second Evil]

They sound great! However, I do wish they had made a Wesley from 'Shells'.

[odoat]

Time and Space Toys now has all the figures up on their website with the preorder prices. You can't order them yet, but they all say Pre-Orders and Photos coming soon.

They have all the prices listed for every figure except House Always Win Lorne Con Exclusive. But since it is a T&ST exclusive I'm betting we can order it from them. Maybe it will be one of their fabulous Spend $50 get this free? I'm very happy that I can order all the figures from one site this time.

Their titles and prices for the figures are as follows:

Vegas Lorne "House Always Wins" Con Exclusive Figure No Price Yet
Wesley, Lorne, Pylea Lorne Set of 3 Preorder $39.99
Firearms Wesley "Rain of Fire" Exclusive Action Figure Preorder $14.99
Watcher Wesley "Bad Girls" Action Figure Preorder $14.99
Rogue Demon Hunter Wesley "Parting Gifts" Action Figure Preorder $14.99
Tuxedo Wesley "Waiting in the Wings" Action Figure $14.99

The description says that Watcher Wesley comes wearing glasses! I hope this really does happen unlike the Giles figure. Plus Diamond didn't mention the glasses.

/me eta: Also the "Rain of Fire" Wesley is T&STs exclusive. And on thier description they call the episode "Apocalypse, Nowish (aka. Rain of Fire). I wonder who's call it was to name it Rain of Fire.

[abcfan]

Cheers for the info.
I think I will order 'Rain of Fire', 'Parting Gifts', 'Bad Girls' and 'Waiting in the Wings' Wesley from them and I will also order 'The House Always Wins' When they put the info up.
The others I should be able to get form FP so I will leave them.

So thats what this Wesley's "gimmick" is? The only figure with his guns for accessories.

[vhunter]

Great news, Better choices for variants than I could have imagined.

At first I wasnt too excited about Lorne, but now.....
Wes is going to be awesome.

Maybe we can get Fred as a Lornette to go with
"House Always Wins" Lorne.

( By the way, I keep mentioning that in every relavent post hoping DST will hear long before production of Fred variants go into effect)

Cant wait for the pics.

Obviously we are getting some new sculptage here.

[Ebola]

I'm a lot more excited for this wave than I was for MAC's original offerings. I'm going to get all the varients except for the one's the extremely limited promotional figures. DST is doing a great job!

[MasterPizza]

I don't get it so much the variants and the regulars, which one are the regulars?.

[Haephestus]

Sound cool.

Is the picture of Lorne accurate for "No Place Like . . . ."?

I seem to recall that he wore a red suit in that episode, at least when they were actually in Pylea (and when he had his head cut off)?

Wesley's also sound good. Strange that there isn't going to be a semi-nerd/geek Wes marking his stage in between Watcher Wesley and Marlboro Man Wesley? Perhaps they are saving that one for some sort of boxed set? Maybe an "Angel: Beginnings" boxed set with an Angel, long haired Cordelia and Wesley?

Definately getting Firearms Wes and will pick Lorne once I see them and determine whether they have different facial expressions and the like, but leaning towards Vengeance Lorne (except No Place Lorne has cooler accessories).

Not really fussed on collecting multiple variants. A tuxedo Wesley doesn't really appeal to me, nor does Rogue Demon Hunter Wes, but Watcher Wes would be cool to add to a Buffy display (especially if he really does have glasses).

Looking forward to seeing pics. Should be some good news coming up. Final pics of the deluce figures and accessories are meant to be in the next Toyfare, announcement of the next Buffy wave once Spike/Darla is released and probably prototypes of the Wes/Lorne wave at Toyfair in February.

Cheers,
Haeph.

I just realized that Wes' arm gauntlet weapons aren't listed as any accessories yet. They would be perfect for a season 4 Wes though, and would also differentiate it from "Rain of Fire" a bit more. So here's hoping!
