The DST Buffy blisters are much more cheery and bright than the oringinal MAC darker cards. My guess is that DST did this to draw more attention to the figure in specialty stores such as SUNCAOST and SATIDAY MATINEE, wherein the layout is usually darker than other stores. The new packaging definitely stands out.
However, A bright and cheery ANGEL blister would seem kinda silly. Granted, the original Angel packaging was lighter than the buffy sereis, but you can't get much brighter than the new BUffy blister cards. I am really unsure of what DST is going to do, and I'm looking forward to it.
MY guess is dark blue with the given character's face on the blister--similar to the Willow blisters.
Anyone else have Ideas? I'd love to hear them!!!!

I was thinking about that too.
The SDCC Transformation Dark Willow has a really nice color card.
I really prefer that over the others, I think that they should have gone with that originally because it would have matched the MAC figures better and STILL look different.
It wouldnt make sense for Spike and Darla to come on these auburn colored cards.
These DEFINATLY should come on darker cards!!
I think DST should go with the SAME colored cards as the Transformation Dark Witch Willow.
DST should DEFINATLY stay with the same style packaging as Willow's (I really think the new design is GREAT and so much better than the MAC)
Just a DARKER card.

I certainly wouldn't mind the same color scheme, but on the newer DST blister style with the bubble logo. Since there was only one previous series of Angel figures, changing it now seems unnecessary, while it was nice to shake things up with the Buffy line. Though it doesn't matter much to me anyway, since I'll be opening all of mine!

Wasn't there a post somewhere showing an advetisement for the Spikes and Darlas? I remember seeing one with a dark red and black background. I was hoping they would use that as the backround for the blisters.

I would like to see a dark red or even maroon color, along with black for the cards. The old blue cards were alright, but I never thought they were very eyecatching, or even interesting to look at.

Hey Everybody,
thanks for your input. I am actually thinking that a maroon or dark red and black might be really cool. The colors are usually associated with Vampire lore, and tough dark, they could definitely be attention-grabbing. hmmmm.
Blue ill most likely still prove the favorite though. I don't know. Now that I think so many options would look good, i am really looking forward to whatever Diamond chooses!

I think a dark [glow=red,2,300]red[/glow] would be cool for Spike and maybe [glow=purple,2,300]purple[/glow] for Darla.

I like the darker cards too. I want the old blister packs with the traditional purple/dark blue color scheme.
Having Spike in the autumn like color scheme would be too weird. It should be dark and scary.

i think dst will go with the blood red colour for the angel blisters because they seem to be completeley redoing the look of the buffy/ angel line like new blisters, bubble logo, pictures from that episode and if you think about it almost every figure in the buffy lines had black on their outfits with afew exceptions (e.g. bunny anya) and the new figures of will, anya, tara only have about one fig of each with black on. the whole line has got more colourful

Someone else had mentioned the broader color scheme with the new figs, and I really think that's a great move on DST's part. Displays won't look as gloomy as old ones do (either carded or loose). It's reallly great to see non-traditonal outfits in the mix, too (Ie Anya from ONCE MORE WITH FEELING).
I am really beginning to think that the red cards would be best for the Angel figs. I orginally thought it'd be a dark/navy blue; but a blood red would be very eye-catching for dst and apropos to the Angel line. Good call everybody.

I think Dark Purple would be the best move for Angel figures. I don't think that the Orange would look too bad... I'm saying that because I had a dream where I walked into a shop where they had tons of figures and Vampire School Girl Darla! Lol.

Purple, burgandy or a fawny brown. I would like it if the Buffy characters are on the burgandy, and Angel on the purple, but I guess that won't happen  |
