Check out DSTs September Spectrum for pics of Season 5 Angel, Illyria, and "Graduation Day" Angel packaged. It won't be long until we get these, with the October release date quickly approaching, I'm really excited.

Is the Angel packing diffrent then the Wes/Lorne/Spike/Darla ones? It seems more red then before, but that could just be the picture.
I personally dislike the season 5 Angel image they used, since the figure is wearing in same shirt as "You're Welcome". I hope the use the 'time ripple' shot for Illyria.

Wow, time flies when you're waiting for figures! I can't wait to see what last minute changes are made to them to improve them. Lorne and Wes really came out well despite some early problems.

The packaging does look a bit darker than it did with the Wes and Lorne figures. Seeing these figures in the packaging gets me even more excited. Hopefully we will see pix of all of the figures in thier packaging. The figures actually look very good, a lot better than the protoypes. I too am wondering what picture they used for Illyria, as well as the picture at the top, will it be a picture of Fred or Illyria.
I am really hoping that after the Angel and Fred figures are released that they announce the next set of Angel figures. I'm still anxiously hoping for a Cordelia/Harmony wave next.

Since after the Wes/Lorne line was released we got the news of the Buffy/Dawnl line. So, heres hopeing. I also think, they will use one of the promo-still shots of Illyria for the top of hers...

I also thought they looked different but I checked three times and I can't really see a difference. I really like the way the figures look, except for Season Five Angel. His shirt looks really oversized. I hope its just the pics... I really like the rest of him. I even like how Grad day angel looks. I think they changed the face a little!

Is the crystal ment to be something from her sercuphicus (spelling no clue)? I think Illyria's face looks so much better, the blue bleeds a bit to far, I hope that is fixed.
Angel's body looks great (um...) it looks much more realistic compaired to Spike's which was WAY to buffed up, since James is a very slime and pale man, the Spike figure didn't catpure that, but this Angel figure captures David's body very well.

Its like clear with blood splatter o.o I don't think Angel's wound is... well... all the way through. But I bet you could screw a whole in him and stick the arrow in him if you must^^

I lost Tara's candle so I better be extra careful, I found it a week ago though! I think I'm gonna buy two grad day Angels and Two Vamp Angel. I want to switch the head on a Grad day angel to a Vamp head, then position him like he is sucking Deluxe Grad Day Buffy's Blood! I could put blood on his mouth and her neck!!!... Sorry just had to share my thoughs

I cant wait for these.
I kinda like the new bases or whatever they are. I thought that Season 5 Angel was the weakest figure in this line but he looks great in package with the big Wolfram and Hart logo.
I agree that Illyria is a little too blue, hopefully theyll tone her down just a little.
I cant wait!!!!!!

These look so good. Season Five Angel looks of very high quality, with his shirt not that bad, awesome base and accessories... and a decent likeness! Let's hope Fred is just as good. Illyria looks cool, I can't wait to pose her with the crystal.
I can't wait to get these!

Sorry just had to share my thoughs I lost my Tara candles on purpose cause I hate them... So unTara... She should of came with the cats eye crystal... But anyways, that would look cool! I always thought Grad Buffy should have came with the might mark on her, for removing the jacket, since it would fit with the Angel so well.

I thought after buffy/dawn it was another buffy line, is this true? The figures look great, can't wait for these and can't wait to see what comes next, im hopeing for (5) (3) xander/glory Cordelia/Harmony Faith/Gunn Giles/Riley Dru/Oz

Wow, Illiyria is as fantastic as ever! I agree about her totally blur forehead though. But S5 Angel looks great too! Much better than earlier pics. I really can't wait for the delux, and I already have a normal Spike, so it's between S5, the ring, or waiting to see if they release him as a 2-pack/boxset. I have a MAC Angel leather jacket waiting for Angel. Spike's looks great on his figure, and I think Angel's will tone down the stripey shirt a bit.

Do you think they will be released by the 1st October, because that is when I'm going to Collectormania 8 and I would LOVE to pick them up then. Hope so!
