odoat; I really see eye to eye with you.
DST really should of stuck to what they said and just given us a Fred/Illyria line with 5 Fred's and the two Illyria's (or to make it fair, 3 Illyria's with the naked Illyria' from "Shells" XD). But, much like Willow, Fred should of had her own line, giving DST a chance to really get a nice round idea of Fred and Illyria, since Illyria I think will be a high seller, since it is such a cool looking figure.
I showed my 10 year old cousin, boy, the Illyria figure and the "Shells" Illyria figure and he said he would get Illyria since it looked so cool and more, um... macho compaired to "Shells" Illyria. So I see the reasoning for Illyria, and I am glad we get an Illyria...
But like I said, a Fred/Illyria line really would of been a better bet. And then, we could of got a Angel/Gunn... Angel/Lindsey or Angel/What ever line.
It would of also given DST a great chance for two packs or joining figures. Like Lornette Fred, "Waiting in the Wings" Fred to go with Lorne and Wesley or even Pyleha Fred to go with the Original Cordelia.
Can I argue anymore on how much this Amy Acker line is a ripp off? The Fred figure has fat cheeks and looks way to un-like Amy Acker to pass as a figure. Fred is skinny, she has a distint jaw and chin and the figure really dosn't show it like it should. A jacket and baggy pants would help with not making the figure to skinny... but this "The Price" Fred is just to random... and those pig tails look so fake!
*deep breath*
I will most likely buy "Shells" Illyria, since I know the comic shop I go to will get at least 3 of them, and they have told me they will hold one of each figure for me that they get... The figure is to bulky and the shoes look really bad... But I'll end up buying it since I just... well, I dis like the Fred so much compaired to "Shells" Fred...
But yes... DST bad on you...
Imagine this... what if we got the Willow line with 4 Vampire Willow's and one Willow, which is like what odoat said, but kind of more with the Illyria type thing. Would you guys of wanted 4 Vampire Willow's? No...
Okay, I think I am done... I just hope I didn't come out sounding weird...
But, really, I still think buying "Shells" Illyria is worth it, since the accecerries are kind of neat, and I think a "A Hole in the World" Fred will be released much like Vampire "Welcome to the Hellmouth" Darla. Same everything but just a painted face to look human and dyeing... and maybe heels...
Okay I am now done.
