Yesterday at Wizardworld Boston I overheard a retailer... who was not at his/her booth and whose name I did not hear... say that Sideshow has picked up the Angel license. S/he was upset that they chose the Darla figures they did, expecting that when Darla was announced, they would do one to accompany the recent Liam/Angelus. S/he was also upset that they decided to make her an exclusive. Anyway, that's the reason for the seemingly odd Darla choice (according to this retailer). They're planning on another one for the Angel line. Let the speculation begin!

I really hope that retailer had that right.. an Angel license is what we've all been wanting!

I really hope that's true. I would LOVE to see an Angel series Darla, not to mention the rest of the gang.

I also hope that this is true. I really wanted them to pic up the Angel line. The first 2 figs have to be Angel and Cordelia. I just hope that the first Cordy that they make is either from the first season or from "You're Welcome", I really liked the way that she looked in the first season. This will allow us to get figures of Doyle, Gunn, Lorne, Lindsay, Lilah and The Beast would make an amazing Sideshow figure, I'm also hoping for an Origins Darla from this line, as well as an Origins Spike and Origins Drusilla.

OMG this AMAZING! But I hope they dont announce it till next year, I cant afford anymore atm. OMG this is SOOO good! wait I need to no, is this CONFERMED? like seriously proven? Because I'm saving for Sideshows angel figure atm, but if they make another for the Angel line I wouldnt buy the Buffy line one. hmmmm wot do you guys think i should do? I really dont wanna miss out on an Angel all together. thoughts would be helpful!
this is GREAT! Im over the moon! if its true we'll get Cordy!!!! and doyle omg im gonna need a bigger cabinet. hmm and and if it is true I can cancel my Darla from Buffy line and wait for an Angel one(she's much better in Angel) I was never a fan of the school girl thing.

I really hope that this is true. I would really like to have a Cordy from Angel rather than from Buffy. It would also be totally cool to get an Illyria.

I'd mostly want an Illyria and a Wesley figure! Still hoping we also get a Victorian Darla to go with Liam!

I hope this is true! I wonder if this has anything to do with that survey sideshow had a couple of months back where it asked what license you'd like them to acquire?
Now i just need them to get the firefly/serenity license and i'll be a very happy chappy.

this does fit with the news that Sideshow is slowing down the pace of Buffy figures. both the Buffy and Angel lines cater to the same market, so if they start up the Angel line, common sense says they would slow the Buffy line as not to cannibalize Angel.

Why, is he topless or something? LMAO no he was just so damn sexy in that episode. He does however appear topless at the end...  But what Season 1 episode didn't have him half-naked? |

Ugh, please, not another "sexy" wounded figure... But another decent Sideshow version of Angel would be really cool. We have all these Buffys, a few more Angels is only fair.

Mentioning Angel being made reminds me that aside from the Con exclusive, we've only gotten Angelus as a standard release. Very clever planning in that way...

I second that, especially since Sideshow use that awful generic body. I was more thinking of him in the long black coat from the alley scene at the start, its kinda iconic since they used his exit from that scene as the 'power shot' for all Seasons. I'd also LOVE a variant with the shirt & hat from 'Sense & Sensitivity', or they could have that as the exclusive accessory like with Vamp Spike's Hawaiian Shirt. |
