Why is the Angel line of figures producing Spikes and Darlas from when they were on Buffy. I.E Beneath You Spike and Schoolgirl Darla. Shouldn't these have been produced in a Buffy line?

Darla began in Buffy, but was more mainstreamed on Angel. Thats why her standard version is Angel Specific, but you really cant think of Darla and NOT think of the Buffy S1 Schoolgirl uniform... So Thats prolly why they added that version. Spike is under the Angel name prolly cause he was last seen on Angel... But of course hes gonna be better known on Buffy. We didnt really see him in any kinda variant looks on Angel either... Unless you count armless...

It also creates alround high sales; I will make an example to the Darlas to demonstrate:
Regular and Vamp Darla - Angel fans will buy these probably to prefrence to the others.
Schoolgirl Darla(s) - Buffy fans will probably buy just these if they don't watch Angel
Mixed Fans - They will probably buy most of them.
1x Human, 1x Vamp - People who can only afford a couple of the Darla figures and are fans of both Buffy and Angel will most likely buy 1 of the human faced figures and a Vamp faced one from the opposite show.
E.G - Human Darla and Vampire Schoolgirl Darla
Completionists - They will buy them all!!!!
Also, Buffy has more fans than Angel, so its better to make 1 or 2 figures from Buffy as well as ones from Angel to insure you don't miss out on serious $$$ . Also, it means you don't have to make a figure from the Buffy line and them make figures for the identical character again in the Angel line.

If there is a perception that Buffy fans are a larger demographic than Angel fans, then a company would make Buffy characters that appeared on Angel before making strictly-Angel characters... For example...
Buffy on Angel: Angel Cordelia Faith Spike Darla Wesley Andrew (tee hee) Harmony (tee hee)
Angel only: Fred Illyria Lorne Gunn Lindsey Lilah Beast Jasmine
If there is a choice between a MAJOR character on each list (Gunn vs Wesley, for example) Wesley will win and be made first. It's just numbers.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but will they come packaged in Buffy packaging for the those based on Buffy episodes, and Angel packaging for those based on the Angel ones ?

Actually this is still undecided. It pretty much depends on what Fox says. I think it'll be on Angel packaging with an "as seen on Buffy" addition to the "Angel."
