I haven't seen this anywhere so...
UK Buffy magazine reports DST are hoping to produce a line of Season One Team Angel figures "later in the year" (though it doesn't say which year), they also say so hopefully a Doyle figure will be included.
Opinions? Speculate away?
What variant of Angel, Cordy, Wes would you want to see?
And does this mean that Gunn could also be a possibility?

That would be awesome. They should do the same with Buffy now that we have the Library Playset. I hope we get a do-rag Gunn!

Nice! Doyle is a much needed figure.
I don't think Gunn would be considered as S1, but I'm pretty sure if this line sells well, they'd make a S2 set.
Hmm, not sure on what variants I'd like to see. Maybe a "Rm w/ a Vu" Cordy, pretty simple and generic, but It'd look great.

If it is a simple one variant for each character I would want these...
'In the Dark' Cordy.
'City of' Angel (finally get a general all black angel figure!!)
'Parting gifts' Wesley (not motor bike suit, his cream suit)
"City of' Doyle, (red shirt)

I definately think it will not be later this year. I suspect that after the next Buffy wave, that is due to be announced soon, DST will go back to Angel for the remainer of 2007. Do-rag Gunn is defo a season 1 figure so, hopefully, he will be included , as well as Doyle. As far as doing a whole line of Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley, again, that would not be the smartest thing DST has ever done. I try to stay opitimistic about the line, but this news is setting off my spider sense. Re-doing Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley, again, so soon, IMO, could kill the Angel line leaving us without any hope of getting GUNN, HARMONY, CONNER, etc. Please DST give us at least ONE GUNN, HARMONY, and CONNER before you start re-re-re-making figures again, please!

This music to my ears! At last some Season One figures from Angel! I'd love for there to be interconnecting bases aswell, similar to MAC's alleyway ones. Considering these figures sound a bit different to the regular line, I would prefer Diamond to do more 'posey' stances for the figures. In terms of choices, I'd like: - 'City of' Angel - With Jacket and Stake ratchets. Also a chase Vampire head figure.
- 'In the Dark Cordy' - In that classic pose with her crossbow aimed!
- Generic Wesley - In a suit with combed hair and glasses.
- 'City of' Doyle - Jazzy Shirt and various accessories.
- 'Hero' Doyle - In demon mode! Yeah!
I must have a Doyle! And another Season One Cordelia!

If is about season one, it's have to be after the switch visions, so cordelia as parting gifts will be perfect or another outfits after the visions. Another angel more cooler with the leather jacket on.

I know that Gunn was in a few Season 1 episodes but I think that they will save him for a Season 2 set, if not that I'd want one from his first appearance. I could see them making figures of Angel, Cordelia, Doyle & Wesley. Although I'd love to finally see figures of Lindsey & Lilah, I really don't see that happening. I don't think that it would kill the Angel line as many of us want more figures of Cordelia and figures of Doyle and I personally wouldn't mind another figure or 2 of Angel and Wes as they did wear different outfits in Season 1 that you didn't see them in later seasons. I'd love to see:
"In the Dark" Angel "Room with a View" Cordelia "The Bachelor Party" Doyle "Somnambulist" Wesley "Five By Five" Faith "Warzone" Gunn
"Hero" Demon Doyle & Cordelia 2 pack "I Will Remember You" Angel & Buffy 2 pack

On second thought, it probably won't be a whole new line, just more varients, maybe in the first Angel boxset? Season 1 Cordelia could be our 4th Cordy figure, season 1 Angel varient ,and a Doyle or demon Doyle made from someone else's body. That would make much more financial sense. Gunn and Harmony will more than likely get a full release. That is what I am hoping for. When I said it might kill the line, I was thinking that they were doing another 5 Wesley's, Angels, and Cordelia again before they were doing Gunn or Harmony. I think I jumped the gun. There's no way DST would do that, it is just not feasable. They will more than likely be varients and I will be glad to get them.

I really want an "I Will Remember You" Buffy on an Angel card. Wasn't Buffy wearing almost the exact same outfit and hairstyle as in "The Gift"episode of Buffy, except for different colored pants? We could get "I Will Remember you", "The Gift", and maybe even a new Buffybot in black leather with hair up out of one new sculpt! That would be worth the cost of a new sculpt, I would think. Are you reading this, DST?

I think that a Parting Gifts Wesley in the cream suit would be wonderful.
I'd be happy with any Doyle or Gunn. I love Doyle! I don't think he should have been taken off the show.
I would love a City of Cordy in the dress from the big LA party.
I love the idea of groups of figures from the different seasons.
But mostly I just want a Gunn and Doyle.

1) Doyle, yes!!! 2) madvicks, which issue is this in? What page? Thanks. 3) The Second Evil, are you saying that MAC's alley bases interconnect? If so, which ones? 4) City of Angel would be great! Especially if the stake ratchets are accessories and not permanently attached (i.e. can be attached to other figures e.g. Spike)

I see us getting at least one more Angel line before this happens. I'm all up for a Gunn/Harmony line before this happens and I agree that they should do the same with Buffy. I always wanted figures of everyone from "Welcome to the Hellmouth" to commerate the very first episode. It'd be nice if the same thing was done with Angel Season 1 figures by having figures of all of the cast from the very first episode of Angel, but than that would leave out Gunn and Wesley. If they do this with the first episode than it would be good to also do it with the last episode of each series as well. Having only a few figures that still need to made from Buffy and all of the figures from Angel.
If you think about it, the figures would go something like this:
"City Of": Angel, Cordelia, Doyle, Lindsey, Vampire Angel, Demon Doyle "Not Fade Away": Angel, Wes, Fred, Gunn, Lorne, Harmony, Hamilton, Lindsey, Eve, Connor
"Welcome to the Hellmouth": Buffy, Angel, Xander, Willow, Giles, Cordelia "Chosen": Buffy (battle damage), Willow (red hair), Anya, Dawn, Andrew, Robin Wood

3) The Second Evil, are you saying that MAC's alley bases interconnect? If so, which ones? Unfortunately not Poor choice of words, but I basically meant that Diamond should make that style of base, then go that extra mile and make them connect so that we can make a really impressive display.

A line of Angel figures from season 1? ...Don't know what to think about that...We already have 7 angels (3 MAC and 4 DST), 4 Wesley, 5 Cordys (3 MAC and 2 DST)...So what's the point???I'd rather get less variants but more characters: 2 Doyle (Human/ Demon) 2 Gunn (Season 2 and Season 5) and 2 Harmonys (Season 5 Human/vamp) and DST OWE us, @ least three good-looking Fred without the Giant syndrome...
So if there's figures based on the 1st season, they should be so awsome that we'll just have to shut up and acknowledge DST's wonderful work...They would have to bring us somethin g nice like a set of figures (Or 2) from same episodes...I'll remember you (1 Cordy, 1 2 pack Buffy/Angel and 1 Doyle) and Sanctuary (Angel/Buffy 2 Pack, Cordy, and Wesley)

Pretty please DST? ;D

This is great new! I'd love to have both Doyle and Gunn! If this is a gift pack I'll be fine if Gunn isn't included only if he has a wave in the Angel line next year. I'd like to see:
1.) "City of" Angel with removeable wrists stakes, (who ever mentioned that great idea!) the Shanshu scroll, coffee bean bag to "mush"
2.) Doyle: human head maybe with an extra demon head, shot glass, little ax, maybe the ring of Amara (there have been some small accessoies before), some parts of the break apart guy from I fall to Pieces.
3.) Cordelia: Picture she drew of her first vision, her burnt Sunnydale diploma, shopping bag (maybe some of the art things she gets for Angel) and the cross bow from In the dark.
4.) "War Zone" Gunn: Sword, stake (I can't think of anything else he used in s1.)
5.) "She" Wesley a.k.a. Dancing Wesley: some books, the new paper clippings, the ax he swings into the wall and a gun.
I'm guess for money reasons that this set will be a three pack though because of how it's been said how much a four pack would cost let alone a 5 pack.
