Pylean Boxset?

[Kenobi]

I was going to make this a poll, but the possibilities are endless. IMO, the best episodes of Angel are the ones from the Pylean story arc. So far DST has made a blue princess Cordy, Demon Angel, and NPLPG Lorne. I just rewatched the episode, and thought it would be really cool if DST made a boxset. Although I don't think it was executed to greatly, I think the idea of the Summers Album was really cool. I think with just a little bit of effort, DST could make one of the coolest boxsets yet. To start, there could be a very cool base and a plethora of accesories. If all they include is 2 Demon Angel bases and 1 Pylean Cordy base, you've already got a great start for a throne room. Then they could throw in Tara bookcases as well as various other accesories such as Destiny Angel's pedastal, Cordy'd food platter and scroll, Lorne's books, platter, and bag.

Throw in some great figures and I think it would sell quite well. The question is, what figures would you want in the boxset? To start, I think it's safe to say Diamond won't go to far out of the way for sculpts. The Summer's Album only had a new head and hair piece, and the Watcher's set is only getting new jackets and a new set of arms. With that in mind, what figures from my list below would you want to see in the boxset? Feel free to add any I didn't mention.
No effort for Diamond:
Gold Princess Cordelia
Angel (Human version of the demon figure)
Re-release of the somewhat rare NPLPG Lorne

New Sculpts:
Wesley
Fred

New heads:
Groo
Gunn
or perhaps one of the Demons

So, would you buy it?

[Jinxieman]

I think it would be great to get Slave Fred, Wesley, and Gunn. With the Slave Fred they could use Cheerleader Buffy legs, the naked buffy torso and arms, Illyria's head and a new hair sculpt with a cloth or rubber frock over it.

I can't remember what Wes and Gun are wearing so I can't comment on them now.

I would also love to see a Lorne in Pylean clothing. But I would rather get the three above. They could include Lornes severed head as an accessorie.

[Kenobi]

I think Lorne's head is a great idea for an accesory! As for Wes and Gunn, I can't quite recall Gunn's outfit. Although I know for Wes they would most likely end up using a Wes head and legs and would need to sculpt a new torso with arms. Sadly, I think DST would mostly take the easy route. Based on the theme of the boxset, I'm sure they'd include Cordy, maybe even just have her be the figure that's already released. I also wouldn't be too surprised at an Angel. Personally, I'm hoping for a Wes first and then Groo second

I think DST would be a bunch of idiots to release the no effort box set you listed. No one will buy anything like that...I buy EVERYTHING and I would still wait until that went to the free figure list at BCC.

I would LOVE a slave Fred. The other figures dont matter too much to me as long as they arent figures we've already gotten. Wesley and Gunn would be ok, Groo would be really nice and some Pylean inhabitants would be even better...maybe Numfar?

So, I would love a box set and would most definitely buy it as long as it wasnt just figures we've already got...I have no interest in a gold pylean Cordelia...NPLPG Lorne is one of the cheapest chase figures to get and Pylean Angel minus the demon head is pretty much just plain old boring seen-it-20-times Angel.

Slave Fred tops my list.
Then some Pyleans...
Groo is my 3rd most wanted
Then Gunn
Wes is at the bottom of my most wanted list.

I've got 2 Pylean Cordelias...no need for more...Any Angel would probably be boring so he's rather pointless...but might be necessary.

I'd get it -if it had Numfar!

[funlittlebugger]

I would totally get one... That story arc in Pylea was one of my favourites and they were actually the very first episodes I've seen of Angel.A new paint op for a golden outfit cordy,a whole new fred sculpt and some wesley or angel with part reusing would've been enough... ;D

[Girl Power]

I think we have a lot Pylean figures already, but I'd love a gold Cordy. Pylean Gunn and Fred in her dirty frock would be cool too. But, I'd be happy with ANY Gunn we get.

I would actually do the dance of joy if we got a Numfar.

Yep, Numfar, slave Fred, and Groo would rock.

[Haephestus]

Hmmmmmm. They seem to do box sets with no more than three characters.

I wouldn't buy a human Angel, Gold Princess and Pylean Lorne boxed set.

BUT I would consider purchasing a Slave Fred, Wesley and Gunn boxed set, depending on how Slave Fred looked and whether she could be "adpated" to make a "regular" in-scale and "pretty" Fred (like how Slave Cordelia could easily become a "regular" short-haired Cordelia).

Cheers,
Haeph.

[xander000]

i would buy a set with

slave fred
wesley
and groo

Gunn should come in the regular line and gold princess cordy as a con exclusive

[Ouija]

I wouldn't really buy the 'No Effort' set. Not for retail price anyway.

I really haven't had much of a hard time finding mass amounts of that Lorne, and quite cheaply too (only £4). Cordy is a nice idea but I'd only buy her if she came with a Groo, preferably in a two pack. As for Angel, well, hmm... Not sure. But not worth paying £40 for the three. Nope, no way. Any Pylean set would have to contain a new character (Groo or in-scale Fred, possibly Gunn) in order to even tempt me to purchase it.

[seregloth]

I think a slave Fred that was in scale (since they could use virtually any body under the cloth) w/ fred head and better fred hair would go over really well.

When Angel first arrives there he is black shirted/panted and had his jacket (ie uber-classic Angel) so maybe that it would help draw people in to have an inscale Fred and a definitive Angel w/ low production costs.
Full reuse of parts (except Fred's hair) in figures that had some draw to them.
Maybe a Drakken as the third? Or Groo of course would be welcome, but odds are it would be Gold Pylean Cordy.

[bloodyfrenchy]

I'd like a BIG EFFORT from DST!!!

So New figures with a good combo of New Head sculpts and Body parts:
- A slave Fred with better skin tone. They can use the Fred season 3's head, I don't mind. But I'd like a better skin color, as well as better make up, and a new Hair sculpt.
- Gunn, is a must!!!!
- And I'd like Lorne's Mom!It was such a funny character. Or his cousin!

No need of getting a Wes (can easily be customized) and a Human version of Angel as well. Cordy, a good repaint would do. The Groo? Well not really on my top ten list, but why not?

[seregloth]

Don't get me wrong it would be swell if DST wanted to do a boxed set w/ three new sculpts (even reusing Fred head) and put it in a book that looked like the portal book or (even better IMO) put it in a box that looked like Angel's car that they arrived in Pylea in.
But I'd be happy to get something cool but still relatively easy to put together, like kit-bashed Angel/Fred.
