Hey...
If this is being discussed somewhere here, please post a link..
If not....did I miss the box sets that were to come with the Wesley/Lorne & Angel/Fred sets??
Or do they only do that for Buffy?

Hmm... "Magic Bullet" Fred would be very cool, but I am in hopes for a "Fredless" Fred with the blue jacket, and the pig tails and the full jeans. Since I think it would be an easy varient to do, since it could have the same Fred head.

I would like a simple Fred/wes 2gether 4ever set with a shell's fred, and both bases connect to make a mini playset of fred's room. For a box set I would like a repaint fred, a lab coat fred and a lornette fred to go on stage with my HAW lorne

Remeber DST's defeniton of "Connectable" bases are... bases that someone fit into each other but don't actually click or stay together... And keep the two figures rather apart.

I too want to see another Fred somehow, whether it be in a 2 pack or boxset. I'm wondering why so far the Buffy series will have a 3rd boxset and a 2nd 2 pack, but the Angel series hasn't had one of either. I just hope that they make a boxset and a 2 pack soon.
As for me I was thinking of a Pylea boxset, didn't they say that the Pylean bases would fit together. A "You're Welcome" 2 pack with Angel and Cordelia would be a perfect 2 pack. A Together Forever 2 pack with Wes and Fred would also be perfect. I really want more Fred figures. I'd even buy a boxset of Fred, just to get a few different ones. I'd love to have a boxset with Slave Fred, Lornette Fred and Season 5 Fred, but that"ll never happen. They are more likely to do a Season 5 Fred, Fred Variant, & Illyria. I really want a Origins boxset with Angel, Spike, Darla, & Dru all in their Victorian clothes, but not until after we get 3 new Dru figures.
I guess time will only tell what they come up with.

I don't see why they can't just make a new Fred head sculpt and it put it on Shells Illyria and call it A Hole in The World Fred. I will pay anything to get a new Fred figure.

They wouldn't even have to make a new head, just a new body, they could just take an Illyria head and just re-paint it, put colour in her face and hair a there you have it, ooo thats a good idea for a custom.

I would love more Fred figures too. Its such a shame that she only has 1. I dont know who came up with the idea to do 2 Illyrias and only 1 Fred. Makes very little sense.
They dont have much faith in Fred's selling power...its obvious since they only made 1. So I doubt we'd ever get a Fred boxed set...but I would definitely buy it. I would love slave Fred, lab coat Fred and a Lornette...but thats asking a lot.

All of my planned Fred customs...and believe me there are a lot!...I have planned to use the Illyria heads rather than the fred head. With a re-paint it could be perfect. I may use the fred head for a few customs as I plan on making a 'fredless' fred. Im surprised they didnt make this instead of a 'the price' fred. It would have made more sense, would have been a better looking figure and the axe accessories would have fit more as it would have been episode specific with the figure!?

That's irritating that they didn't put heels on Shells Illyria. It definitely should have been Fred figure. I'll bet that after how badly the Anya/Tara sold, they came to some stupid conclusion that secondary female figures don't sell.
But I think Fred would have sold better than those figures. Besides, the Anya figures weren't well painted and the Taras were all just repaints of each other, which limited their appeal.

I issue that I have with the Anya/Tara line is just the articulation. Both of them were so limited, while alot of the Anya's seem to be looking down/hunched and tilted...
With DST thinking this, I fear that Cordelia maybe a bad line aswell, and she may only get 3 bad figures...
Personally I like the female figures of the male figures, the female figures have so much more to give then the males, which is just insulting DST isn't taking advantage of that (Tara had so much more to give)

O/T slightly - Fred did wear the white shoes in HITW.
In the lab scene where she steps through broken glass. The commentary notes that they required Amy Acker to put on these "ugly" shoes to do the scene.
BUT, by the end of the episode where Shells Illyria is actually present, I think she was barefoot.
I have no idea what DST are doing with Angel boxed sets. Wes/Lorne was kinda excuseable, I guess most of their variations had been covered. BUT a Pylean Wesley would have served as a good substitute for a season 3 Wesley (which was lacking) and another Pylean Lorne would have been cool as well.
Same for Angel/Fred wave (though I would prefer a different Fred variant to slave Fred).
DST have *hinted* that more Pylean variants are on their way. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. They haven't announced the Buffy/Dawn wave two-pack and boxed set either. I'm pretty sure if any Angel boxed set is planned they won't announced it until we've purchased variants we don't want from the regular line and then need to shell out more money for the boxed set (rather than being able to make an educated choice between the two).
Cheers, Haeph.

i hope that when they do get a boxset, its like a fallen heroes boxset with... -Doyle (Hero) -Fred (Whole in the World) -Cordelia (Youre Welcome) -Wesley (Not Fade Away) but that wouldnt make sense cuz theres 4 but i hope that there is a boxset with the fallen ones, but with FRED in her WITW outfit in heels Doyle in like w/e cuz it all looked the same and Cordelia in like a season 3 type outfit, cuz we all know that when we get a Cordelia shell have a Youre Welcome variant, and if the normal figure isnt Season 3 with short brown hair and a mini skirt than i want one, or a season 1 Cordelia with long flowy hair and a dress on and Wesley could, well he could wear his Not Fade Away outfit, or not be in the box set if we cant get a Fallen Heroes boxset, id want a Disfunctional Family5-Pack, i know i know, im totally dreaming, but it would be pretty wicked with -Preggers Darla -Teenage Conner -Preggers Cordelia -Angel -Jasmine or a Wolfram and Hart boxset, with 2 versions the first being -Lilah -Lindsey -Gavin and the second one being -Harmony -Eve -Hamilton neither will happen i know, but id buy them if they were made or for 2 packs theyre could be a series of like, Are we in Love and Will we work Out? with -Cordelia and Angel -Fred and Wesley -Wesley and Lilah non had a chance to have full relationships or had a chance to blossom, or, back to 3 packs, there could be Finale 3 packs with like Season 1 -Cordelia -Angel -Wesley not that exciting, but then... Season 2 -Slave Fred -Princess Cordelia -Demon Angel Season 3 -Angel (in coffin thingy) -Cordelia (accending) -Conner Season 4 -Fred (Magic Bullet) -Angel (bright shirt) -Lilah Season 5 -Angel -Spike (in brotherhood cloack) -Illyria (semi Fred semi Illyria) non will happen, but i think some of them could be pretty cool figures, if only if only or for a 2 pack a like Bring It 2 pack with Willow and Cordelia (with white eyes and preggers) or of corse HAW Lorne and Lornette Fred Waiting in the Wings Cordelia and Angel " " Fred and Wesley Lost Loves with Cordelia and Doyle or so many other things i cnat think of right now i totally rambled on and even i wouldnt wanna read as much as i wrote, but thats what i would do if i ran DST and didnt care about costs, but mroe about Fans, and i know they care about the fans but its also about cost, but its just wut i would do...
