Next Angel Line??

[buffyfannumerouno]

It seems as though we are overdue for an Angel line. I realize that many of you will probably say that the lines are seperate, but in reality they are. It was nice to get 2 Cordelia figures from ANGEL episodes and 1 Faith figure from an ANGEL episode. But how about an almost complete ANGEL line.

I do agree that we really need a Gunn figure as well as a Harmony figure. I really can't wait for a Gunn figure although I can wait for a Harmony figure as long as they make a better Fred figure, that we should've gotten in the first place before Harmony is made. It would be nice to save Harmony for a Buffy line with Riley.

With the next line being announced around the time that the Giles/Faith figures are released which should be soon, it got me thinking and hoping that the next line to be announced after the Dru/Oz/Wood line would be an ANGEL based line.

I'd love to see at least 3 variants of Gunn with 4 or 5 Variants of Fred, adding in an build a figure of The Beast and a few variants of Lindsey to this line making it even more incredible.

It'd be nice to have

"Conviction" Lawyer Gunn
"Warzone" Street Fighter Gunn
"Not Fade Away" Gunn

"Conviction" Labcoat Scientist Fred
"The House Always Wins" Lornette Fred
"Magic Bullet" Fred
"Not Fade Away" Fred (transforming into Illyria)

"Waiting in the Wings" Gunn and Fred 2 pack

"City Of..." Lindsey
"You're Welcome" Shirtless Tattooed Lindsey

The Beast

This would make an ideal line and be perfect for Angel to give it an extra kick to have more buyers.

If Gunn isn't in the next Angel line, I'm going to be super angry. We need at least 2-3 Gunn figs as well as a Connor, Harmony, a better Fred, Lindsey, Lilah, and The Beast. An evil, pregnant Cordy would be nice as well as Historical Darla and Angelus.

i want :

Harmony x4
Lilah x3
Connor x2
Fred x2

then

Lindsey x2
Anne x1
Gunn x3
Eve x1

[FM]

I dont think we'll ever see more than 1 each of Connor, Lindsay and Lilah...and even one of them might not even happen.

I think Anne and Eve are not even on the list of possibilities. I think Harmony has issues that are beyond the control of DST so we'd be really lucky to get any figures of her.

My money is on Fred and Gunn. I could see Lindsay being a one-off character using a pre-existing body. Or he could be in a two-pack or box set...maybe with Lilah.

So my line (part dream line, but I think more of whats possible than going all out)...is 3x Fred, 3x Gunn, 1x Lindsay and 1x Lilah (thats the dream part).

[Digital Leonardo]

I agree with FM. There are some characters that yes, as fans we can see like 50 diffrent outfits, but from a manufatoring stand point there is about 1 or 2.

Lindsey and Lilah have their suits and Lindsey has the shirtless/tatoo look (that would be nice to display with YW Cordelia) and Lilah has her little get up when she dresses up as Fred, or the outfit from "Home" with the scarf.

Connar also could go with regular and demon-fighter (which I think is the most likely choice)

Anne... I could never see being made. Eve, I would like, but maybe a two pack with Lindsey or Angel (or Gunn).

[Thorn Of Deucalion]

and i forgot about Doyle , i want 2 of him

[Browncoat]

I would love an all 'angel' line next!! We need GUNN, DOYLE, lilah, lindsay, better freds, connor, harmony and, not that it's at all likely, gwen. 'santuary' buffy would rock too.

Historical Darla and Angelus.

Definitely! I'm glad someone else thinks this.

Personaly I can live very happily without Connor and Harmony and even Lindsey. I want to go back to older characters and get 1, maybe 2 of Doyle (1 human, 1 demon). I miss Doyle and sort of want something to remember him by.

Gunn is an obvious choice and it'll happen. Smaller characters I doubt just because DST might not see it as a good option when major characters are still lacking.

And we all want a good Fred, I know that much.

For me it's 2 x Doyle, 1 x 2 pack of Darla and Angelus, 1 x Really amazing Angel and 2 x of Fred and Gunn.

[Kenobi]

Not to get rude, but why does everyone want Harmony? She really rubbed me the wrong way, and the only episode of hers that I liked was "Harm's Way". If DST made her, the most I'd buy of her is one figure. Anyway, I think the best possible line is Fred/Gunn. I know DST said no to more Freds, but I don't think there's anyone here who wouldn't want at least another. Even if people were okay with S3 Fred's scale, it's still not a great outfit for Fred. I personally love Buffyfannumerounos list for Fred, although I'm not sure if DST will. I don't know how much reuse we can get out of a few of those, however DST did make Cheer Buffy which only shared the thighs and hands with another figure

[FM]

I think Harmony is hilarious. She is in my top 5 favorite characters ever...er maybe top 6. She really began to shine when she became a vampire but I thought she was great even before then.

Even if you dont like her, its hard to argue thats shes not an important part of the BTVS/ATS world. Since she was a recurring character on Buffy that pretty much puts her above most of the Angel characters (Angel fans dont argue, thats just how it works). Even if she wasnt, shes still more vital to the show than many of the other potential Angel characters (Doyle, Kate, Gwen). And her colorful wardrobe and personality make her a good choice for an action figure (over characters like Lilah and Lindsey). Plus shes a vampire!!! Vampire = sales!

And she was obviously popular with the fans (whereas characters like Riley and Connor were not) because they kept demanding that she came back until she finally joined the cast full time. Shes also the only character who was in the unaired pilot of Buffy all the way until the last episode of Angel.

And, for me, she was DEFINITELY the highlight of Angel season 5. I would LOVE several Harmony figures but, like I said, I'm not sure if thats possible. And I dont think it has anything to do with a scan.

And that is why we love Harmony...I think anyway.

Am I just screwed up? I hate Harmony and loved Riley. Well, that sucks.

I'm the same with Harmony to be honest. Granted I don't like Riley either but Harmony didn't do a darn thing for me.

The fact she was a reacurring character makes her one to put in the "do to" list for DST and makes her more important than other characters but for sheer "what she added to the show and how people feel about her" she's below Doyle. He may of only appeared in a handful of episodes compared to others but he made the start of Angel what it was and gave an element to the show that was ongoing. But I suppose screen time = better seller sometimes.

Just goes to show, everyone is different and DST et al have to look at the broader spectrum of fans when they produce figures, as much as I'd like them to produce custom work just for me.

Noone is denying that. Everyone will always add their 2 dollars worth and say x character is better than x character or whatever, I know I always will. I think the best thing DST can do / will do / already do is take everything into consideration whether they end up doing it or not. Can't ask for more than that.

[emarie]

I'd like to see not only more Freds but better more CC like Cordelia figures. (Maybe in the deluxe line a la Willow.) I think Gunn deserves a line and I agree with all the Fred/Gunn episodes that have been listed that should have figures. For Cordelia I would want:

Higher Being Cordelia
Billy
Birthday (Any outfit) or Heartthrob (any outfit)
WITW

I'd also like to see :

Doyle human faced and demon : it could be one figure released like Wood and if that sells well than a demon faced one released like red dressed Glory.

Lindsey: The same as Doyle or a two pack w/ another character. I'd like to see him in the deluxe line (i.e. Kendra) with removable shirt for You're Welcome. A lawyer outfit or one of his causal outfits I guess. I can't remember anything he wore that I didn't like.

Lilah: Could work in a two pack or like Wood. I don't care what she wears so long as she looks like Lilah.

Connor: Like Lindsey I'd prefer to see Connor in the deluxe line. The outfits I like are the "peter pan" look, and NFA. (Maybe in a two pack with Angel?) Anything else I guess would be fine but I want at least two Connors' either way. One to display with A.I. and one to put with the Fanged Four.

Gwen: May not be possible since she was only in three episodes but I like her character and want a figure.

I don't like either. Harmony really annoyed me in Harsh Day of light to the point I was disappointed that she didn't dust. (Sorry Harm fans) sometimes she was cute afterwards but I never liked her. Riley bored me but like Harm I have no problem with him getting a figure. I know that a lot of people want them and I'll be happy for them if they get their figures. I just won't get them.

Don't give up hope, Kendra was only in three episodes, and Gwen has such a fan base to her, plus she would be such an easy figure to make. Also there would only need to be one varient and everyone would be happy with it (unlike Kendra)

Well I'm not sure what Gwens' fanbase is. I know that on another board a couple of fans said that they would rather have her as a figure than Kendra but other than that I don't recall to much talk about her. (DST also said in a semi-recent ASK that they weren't considering her at the moment.)

Gwen does have a nice selection of outfits, two versions of her tank top pants outfit, a heist outfit and her dress at the party she goes to with Gunn are the ones I can think of at the moment. But really I think her first outfit with the red tank top is her most iconic look.

[bagofknives]

i really want a lilah...just one! skip would also be good aswell as Harmony, Gunn and Lindsay. I know we wont get them all in this line but maybe in 2.

[slayer489]

If the next line is an Angel line, which I think it should be, I want Harmony to be in it.

Well, not everyone sees things like you. I think of Doyle as more or less interchangable with Wesley. I see him as only a way to give Cordelia a purpose on the show (the visions). I liked him as a character but when he left and Wesley came, there really wasnt a huge difference. I liked Doyle better but Wesley and Cordelia picked up where he left off nicely.

But Harmony added something all new, unique and fresh. And, not to mention, hilarious. Doyle had his moments and I'm sure he would've grown to be an awesome character but he wasnt around long enough to be comparable to someone like Harmony.

Plus, as someone who appeared on both shows, Harmony automatically wins out over Doyle. Buffy figures and lines seem to be much more popular...at least in the eyes of merchandisers.

Same goes for you really. I saw your explanation for why you liked Harmony, why she should become a figure and whatnot and I added my opinion to the mix. You don't have to tell me again which character wins or whatever.
