SDCC Fred and Illyria (Pics)

I had trouble taking pictures of the Angel/Fred wave. There was some bad reflections from the glass, these pictures of Fred were the only ones that came out.


FRED AND ILLYRIA

Hmm looks like they added in a shelf with Shells Illyria. I guess that makes the base a tad better...

Illyria looks amazing. Can't wait to get her. Still iffy on the choice for Fred, but it does capture her cute side. Shells Illyria...it's growing on me...very slowly.

Fred still lookly some strands. Oh well, still one of the better sculted figures to come out. I still ts a bit goofy, but not bad. Hoefully its just the picture, but I will see for sure this weekend. Illyria looks AWESOME, except her hair still looks a little...fake? She never had long blue streaks through her hair...most hink we will be seeing a Season 5 Fred (Skirt version, or maybe lab coat?) eventually.

Nice pics Karen, thanks for sharing! My only criticism for Illyria is that her eyebrows are painted too high up on her face. Like she's going, "oh!" No comment on that Fred, I still don't like it. Just hoping for a Fred head on the Shells Illyria body...

[ajmets]

Ok, the first pictures I saw of Fred she looked a lot nicer than these. Maybe it's the angle? I don't know. It just looks very much like a cheesy hasbro figure instead of a specialty market $15.00 figure. We'll see, hopefully the actual figure will be much nicer than that.

I am really impressed with Illyria, she looks fantastic!

Fred look a bit better but I’m still not too keen on getting one.

I guess I am alone because I LOVE Fred I think DST picked a great figure, the outfit is a bit bland but they picked a different hair-style then just doing a hair down or hair in a ponytail-Fred always had something cool going on with her hair styles.
Shells is bland but thats a good point in her character for a figure so I wont complain. I love Illyria too I wish she has more "action" in her pose though. over all I cant wait and I will be buying all of them.

Glad to see they fixed Shell's legs so they don't have that "cut" across the shins.

[prophecygirl]

At first, I wasn't keep on the reg. Fred, but after seeing these pics, I love her!

[Girl Power]

Thanks so much for posting these pictures, Karen! They look really great.

I agree that these pictures make the regular Fred look much more appealing than the previous photos.

I still think I'll end up swapping the Ilyria hair for the ponytails and painting it brown.

I'm glad they put a shelf on the Shells figure. The base was kind of weak as it was.

[DanMan]

The Shells base does look a lot better with that! I would prefer a season 5 Fred, but she's nice. They all look pretty good, and I'm sure a lot more tweaking will go on in the months before production.

[wickedredhead]

I like the fred ok although the shells illyria could be better. I'm going to go ahead and get them because I love all the little accesories.

[Haephestus]

Ewwwww.

Why do they have such trouble with Fred?

Fred/Amy Acker has LARGE eyes.

Almost "cow" like. If anything they should be exaggerated, not all squinty.

Fred is cute, adorable, young, etc. The figure just doesn't look right.

And are her pants meant to be white? I thought they were cream or blue?

Still hoping for a Shells Illyria re-painted as season 5 Fred, though highly unlikely.

[Alyrenee]

I like Fred's axe thingy invention. And the little chinese takeout thing. Too cute.

I will definitely be getting them and probably repainting Fred.

[hitnrun017]

Aww, Fred's base has the drawing of Angel and her on the horse

[JBHpet]

I just thought of something....wasn't Fred in love with tacos? Why does she have Chinese food?

Thanks for the SDCC pics Karen!

[hitnrun017]

She and the group are eating chinese food in the 3rd or 4th episode of the 3rd season. It would of been better if she had tacos though.

[VKMax]

Illyria is looking...less good than she was strangely. That Fred is, IMO, the worst one they've made ever.

[The004Slayer]

Why is everybody saying these are amazing? When they were first shown they WERE amazing, now they are awful! I mean, they had an excellent likeness on the studio pics, but now they look too mass-market-like toys (actually, they look worst than that). The likenesses have been screwed and the plastic looks too shiny to look like skin. I've loved every figure that DST has done since the Spike/Darla wave (when Gentle Giant beggan sculpting the buffy figs), but I really hope DST solve this problem because its looking worst than the Sideshow Willow fiasco to me.

[odoat]

Argh, I agree. I liked the Fred they showed before, just thought if anything, maybe slightly bigger eyes, but otherwise great. Now, they paint ops on these is terrible, please don't tell me that's how they are going to end up being.

I can't believe how happy I was when they anounced the next line would be Fred, and all the figures I thought could be made. And now we are left with this one figure. That really needs to go back to looking like it was.
