"Life of the Party" Lorne

[Mark]

I must admit there is something UNIQUE about Lorne's color scheme. Unfortunatly $30 (plus shipping in the U.S. and then to shipping to Germany) is really too much since I open figures and display them...the autograph would be wasted really. Any chance FP in the UK may get unsigned versions?

Well, I'm not certain but I think they might get a small number (like they did with Vamp Schoolgirl Darla). Maybe DST will offer some to FP once the rush has slowed down and they have a few left.

Here's hoping!

I quite like the blue on him, I like it better than the Judgement and House Always Wins ones anyway. I would buy him, but only if he wasn't mega expensive or rare even, since I like opening my Buffy figures also.

And Mothperson, I can see a banner (Judgement Lorne) and avatar (Spike on Karaoke)

[Jinxieman]

I think this is very exciting...I mean a new figure and it's available TODAY!!! This is so cool, I got one right away. I love DST

[mothperson]

I'm in some sort of weird time warp, probably due to changing browsers twice in the last 24 hours. Thank you OuijaRick.

Okay, so it's not the same colors as MAC's Lorne, but it's pretty darn close. The suit is the same color, but the shirts are different.

yer close , i didnt think they would be the same coz season 5 was'nt ever made yet .

[Harm's Way]

I love this figure, its the best Lorne IMO. I want it so badly but i cant pay for all that shipping so i have to pray Forbidden planet get some in

[prophecygirl]

They don't ship to the UK anyway

[BuffyLover]

Darn I thought the news would be more exciting. I'm all for repaints - like Triangle Tara or the Ikon figures - but when the repaint is too simple (or has bad colors) I could care less.

[Digital Leonardo]

Oh my god... that is stupid. Another way to ignore half their fan base... 30.00$ for a repaint. I just... I just don't understand why DST keeps doing this to us? I mean, instead of maybe some new figures, why are they reusing old ones?

I don't know... this is just one more thing that pisses me off about DST...

Why don't they release another Season 5 Anya with blonde hair and signed and throw it on the market for 30.00! Yeah!

Cool figure, but... maybe make 1000 and send some international...

[buffyfannumerouno]

I ordered a Autographed Lorne and an Autographed Vamp Darla, I need both and this way they will send them together in a bigger sturdier box that will protect from bent corners. I wish that it acutally looked like the Monster Lorne that transpired from him losing his sleep, that would've made a much better figure, but I guess it's good to have another Lorne. I wonder if they will do this with other characters later if they can get the figure signed. I'd love to have a Buffy, Dawn, Xander, or Cordy variant autographed although both Sarah and Michelle are always so busy.

Grrr. Why do they have to ignore their international fans!

[mothperson]

I ordered this Lorne, because I have a Lorne problem, but what I really want is the nerd trio. How can they not see the immense marketing potential for the nerd trio? Or am I living in a cave?

That's what I thought with the series 3 PALz. Why another Angel when we could have gotten Johnathan.

I like DST's Lorne so much more than MAC's. He was way too skinny.

[mothperson]

MAC had a Lorne???

Well, their prototype. See Ham Saland's post.

[punkrawkerspike]

I think he looks wonderful!! I so badly wish that THIS had been the main figure in the wave instead of Judgement Lorne. Lorne looks SO much more Lorne-like in that suit!!

However, as much as I love him, I won't be getting him. I'm not really into signed figures, and I'm an opener, and $30 is a bit much for me since I already have NPLPG Lorne and THAW Lorne, anyway.

Plus, he's limited to 500, so I'll leave him to the completists and the signed figure buffs.

[hitnrun017]

He's is great! I watched LOTP a couple days ago and thought about how cool it would be if we had a figure of him. So that's pretty cool, although I'm not getting him.

I too wish the BIG announcement was something better.

[Girl Power]

I always liked his LOTP outfit too. However, This doesn't look that much like it. His shirt had big artsy polka dots and different shades of purple. Plus, Lorne usually wore his big, wide collars out over his suit lapel.

I agree that it's cool to have a figure announced and available on the same day. I'm happy for everyone who is excited about getting the figure. I think that it's also understandable that DST did a repaint of Lorne. This was a colorful outfit. DST has said in the past that they choose their main figures in part based on the potential to do variants with the same parts.

I'm going to pass on the $30 figure. But it does inspire me to customize one of my extra Lorne figures with Lorne's real outfit from that episode. I may even get adventurous and try to sculpt his long white scarf.
