WOW, looks like they managed to sort out Season 5 Angel nicely although the angle of the photo makes it a lil hard to see the heed detail, the stripey shirt seems to of been toned down too. Any idea's on when the rest of the wave will be released?

the stripes on S5 angels shirt have been thinned out which makes him look way better. His head also looks much better with a much better likeness. I can't wait to get these and plan on getting everyone!

I don't think that these figures will be out until the end of October/Beginning of November. They are always a little off by there release dates, due to customs and who knows what else.

I am now so going to buy normal Angel! At first I disliked him, but now I really think they got it right on the dot for him.

See? It's just like I've always said all along. (And everyone can even check previous threads if they don't believe me)
In the beginning, the majority of people gripe about all of the figures and say they won't be buying them and blah blah blah. It's obvious that the current trend is that they don't look so great in the early stages but are always amazing once the final product is out. It happened with Wes/Lorne, it's happening with Angel/Fred and it'll happen again with Buffy/Dawn, for those who don't like the Buffys either.
I'm just glad it seems like people are actually starting to catch onto that now and are getting less complainy because of it.

But anyways, you are right (yes yes) the figures are shapeing out nice and I will most likely buy Fred too and maybe a few Angels instead of just one (yayaya) Is it because they take the advise of the fans (aka us) and work it into the figures?

I'm not sure how fan input factors into things. Usually I just think that this is what they have planned for the figures all along, but it's just the fact that early prototypes aren't capable yet of showing the figure's full potential.

I agree with you Champion of Hotness. The prototypes that they are showing us are just that Prototypes. They are not the final product and still have work that needs to be done. I never complain but just wait until the final product is shown, and lately the final product shown to us is amazing. I will continue to buy these figures, I love the way that they are turning out. I can't wait to see what DST has in store for us next year with these figures. As long as they come out with Cordelia, Harmony, Xander, Giles, Gunn and Glory next year I"ll be happy.

I did mention that I used the "You're Welcome" Angel for my custom sticker. I guess it would be really cool to pair up "You're Welcome" Cordelia (if we get one) with Season5 Angel.

I dont ever see whats wrong with people saying what they don't like about the figures. As long as it's constructive criticism and not just, 'I hate S5 Angel, Im not buying any of these."etc. Whenever the proto-types come out I always point out the bad points but I know it wil be improved. There's nothing wrong with people posting their opinions on figures altho' I do agree with you on the people who just moan for the sake of it.

i am getting a lil worried by the amount of pointless accesories DST seem to be sending out though, I just dont think Angel needs to come with a thermos and a novelty mug. He was such a physical and violent character, shouldn't he come with a load of weapons?

I can kind of see what you mean, but why are you worried about it?

I'm glad DST adds all of these fun little extra accessories with the figures.
I mean, yes, weapons are fun too, but...well, there was a thread about this a while back and most people seemed to agree with the fact that Buffy and Angel are about more than just fighting, and the quirky little accessories display that nicely.
Angel has a sword, and you most likely have a wide variety of other weapons from your other figures if you want him to have that many. Afterall, he only has two hands anyway.

I love the fun little accessories. For example, baby connor or the buffy and dawn figures which are coming which have things like spider infested books and football helmets etc.

He was such a physical and violent character, shouldn't he come with a load of weapons? I'm glad there is non-weapon accessories. Before, that is all that was released with the characters. For instance Angel Series 1 Angel is all weapons. If you are in need of weapons, I recommend picking him up, tossing the figure, and displaying all the cool weapons in the more improved Angel.
