I just picked up Vampire Angel today from Tower Records and I'm very happy with it. I found that most of them had a bump in the jacket near the left lapel, but found one that didn't and decided on that one. The figure looks amazing in person and that baby Connor is a really nice touch. One thing that struck me as odd was that Tower only had Vampire Angel, their exclusive, and no other figures in the line. I then headed over to Suncoast in the mall near Tower and found that they only had Graduation Angel and Illyria. Granted I do want to get Illyria, and plan to get her next week, but it seems wierd that only the exclusives are at the stores and not the regular Season 5 Angel and Season 3 Fred. Hopefully they'll follow soon, because I was really looking forward to them. Tower.com still doesn't have the core assortment (but they do have a 25% off sale going right now, so grab some figures)! My local Suncoast only has Grad. Angel and Illyria too. Maybe they're behind in getting the core wave?

But Illyria looks bigger on the show, and is less defined in the body, which is fine, but Fred, is not so... butchy... and thats why everyone has such a big issue.
Illyria is bigger, but she have the same height of Spike in the show.

I picked up GD Angel yesterday. Although I was happy to see him at first, now I'm really starting not to be so thrilled with him already.
In case anyone wondered (I don't recall it being officially confirmed by anyone), the arrow he comes with is indeed the exact same arrow that came with GD Faith. If there actually are any differences, I sure don't see them. Although, I guess it does make sense that it's still the same arrow, and there's really nothing at all they could've changed about it...it's just a little disappointing that it's his one and only accessory.
I'm thinking whenever I can get ahold of a regular Angel head, I'm going to just clean up that very small wound with a teeny bit of sculpey and some paint so I can just make him a regular shirtless Angel instead.

Bought Season 5 ANgel yeterday from my local comic book store, pretty cool, but I see what you guys meant about the size difference, i stood him next to Spike and it was astounding. Still waiting to get the rest from e-bay.

I got my Vampire Angel and Illryia today from Forbidden Planet. I wasnt planning on getting any of the new figs but they look great in person. The Angels are my favorite. I ignored the scale of Illyria and bought her anyway, the sculpt is too good to miss. I am keeping both Vamp Angel and Illryia in their packaging since I have no room in my collection.

I just picked up Illyria today, and she's amazing. The detail is great. At first, I figured that I'd skip on buying her because I wasn't much of a fan of the character. After seeing her at Wizard World though, I was smitten. Sure she's really tall, but the facial likeness is amazing. That cancels out scale issues to me.

I got Grad Day Angel and Shells Illyria today to finish of the set from FP. Quite impressed with Shells Illyria as she looks really striking, I think its the fact that she is part Fred. But, I have a chipped nose!
Grad Day Angel is okay, but does anyone thing his face looks kinda weird when compared to the other Angels?

I received my Angel figures from BCC yesterday : Season 5 Angel, Season 3 Fred, Illyria, Vampire Angel, Pylean Beast Angel, Ring Angel and Shell Illyria Angel. The only figure I don't have yet is Graduation Day Angel because BCC don't have it. They are very good, a lot better than on the pics !! The only thing negative is Fred/Illyria scales but the sculpt and the likeness are very great ! Great job DST ! I received in the same time Pylean Lorne, I love it, it's so funny to put the head away from the body. I received also the Halloween pack and Kendra from palisades toys, they are so cute, and the likeness is good . I think I will continue to collect the others.

I got my Grad. Day Angel last week from FP, luckily they had a few on show so i got to look through for a nice paintjob! Im very pleased with him, especially the paint job, but i was a little shocked to see the scale when i put him in my collection

At least now we know that the larger scale was a factory mistake, and not an intended change in the scale of the whole line.
I agree that the Grad Day Angel's face looks weird compared to the other Angels. I think it's because he's supposed to look like he's sick and feverish, as he was in the episode.

Grad Day Angel is okay, but does anyone thing his face looks kinda weird when compared to the other Angels? I'm pretty sure it's meant to look like he has blood around his mouth (cos he'd been feeding off of buffy).

I finally got Fred today. She's good, although she does have all of those little flaws that have already been covered like her height and poor eye paint job. Also, there are loads of air bubbles under the sticker with her writing on.

Both of the Freds I received had big air bubbles under the paper on the wall base. I can press them down, but they come back up in a few minutes.
