if it does turn out wouldn it be great?
if i may be right, it seems the sideshow and dst figures have a similarity in choice. master, vampire willow, black coat spike and angel, graduation faith, darla, subway spike.
so if angel works out, imagine a 12" ILLYRIA and THAW LORNE. wow!! jus wow!!
anyway willowswarlock i think u are have a premonition power. i somehow feel that the dst "wish" cordelia could have been inspired by your idea to make a 12" wish cordelia. n besides i'm feeling a "you're welcome" cordy. jus have a feeling

So much to say here.
I dont think its any secret as to why some of the characters appear in both 6" and 12" form...its because they are either really iconic looks for the characters (Angel, Spike, Vampire Spike, The Master, Darla) or they are from a really popular episode (Vampire Willow, Prophecy Girl Buffy, etc.). And there is no Sideshow GD Faith, its a Bad Girls Faith.
And I dont think their decision to make a Wish Cordelia has anything to do with someone's idea to make a custom of that figure. That doesnt even begin to make sense. DST is making a wish Cordelia because she looks amazingly hot in that episode and they have several other figures from that episode already (Vampire Willow, Anyanka) and its likely that we'll get another also (Vampire Xander).
And a "You're Welcome" Cordy is only THE most requested Cordelia on the forum...so if they make her...it wont have anything to do with any customs. Its not even a coincidence...just common sense that the popular figures will be made by the companies and the customizers.

I'm wondering if the rumor of Sideshow picking up the ANGEL line was true or not. I wonder if they will actually wait til 06' to announce the ANGEL line as well as releasing the first 2 figures of Angel and Cordelia as when they announced that they had licensing rights to BUFFY they had pictures of the first 2 figures Buffy and Angel and announced the 2 to follow right after.

Its most likley true. They can only do a certain amount of variants before people stop, well, buying. These are not $15 figueres, they are $40+. I expect to hear the announcement of the Angel line by Christmas, with an all new Angel (Most likley from the first episode), as well as a Wesley, Lorne, and god only knows another Spike.

I think there'll be an announcement regarding this around Christmas. This could just be me, but I think an Angel line has more appeal to the Fans who want to collect 12" Figures from their favourite shows but can't afford as many. With Buffy, it's hard just to buy a few characters from the 12" Line as your collection will look incomplete with characters missing. Whereas, In an Angel line, there are only 5 or 6 main characters to get and each of them have a lot more specific accessory choices. I'm not sure If I'm making sense but my opinion. I'm not sure how they'll choose the lineup, but I bet a lot of figures will be from Season One. This what I'm guessing for the lineup, and in this order: 'City Of' Angel with loads of weapons, long coat and stake ratchets. Season One CordeliaSeason One WesleyVampire AngelSeason Two Gunn Season Four FredPylea Lorne and THAW Lorne (Like Darla, a two different outfit Gig) IllyriaSeason Two DarlaHuman and Demon Doyle Exlusive (Again, Like Darla). Not sure what they might do out of that, but they'll definitely get the main characters out. I look forward to an offical announcement  |

I'm not sure about Doyle... isn't a whole new face kind of pricey, and be a very pricey exclusive? And, legal issues and stuff right?
I want a Cordelia with long flowing doll hair XD! It would only work for her!
I would like to see a "Fredless" Fred (blue) and the exclusive "Shells" Fred (red, minus pony tails), which would be a nice trade off.
I'm worried about Illyria, they could do so good, but the outfit... its easier to sculpt then sew.

Yeah, Sideshow radio message said something about "new lines" being announced so everyone is speculating that at least one of them could be AtS because of the recent rumors. I'm going to be in big trouble financially if it's an Angel and a Firefly line! I guess we'll find out tomorrow?

No announcement yet - I guess it may not be necessarily today either because the "Fantacular" thing they are doing runs from Nov 7-11.

Well that kind of stinks that we have to wait until the second to last day. I'm really hoping that they announce Angel as a new license that they acquired. I really want to see Angel and Cordy as the first 2 figures.

I don't think it's an Angel line - it's something with 17 letters.  |

Well, the new line announced is 1/4 scale Premium Format LOTR figures so no Angel line unless there is going to be another announcement.

Of course no offense to the LOTR collectors, but great googly moogly there is just tons of LOTR stuff and Sideshow just discontinued one of their LOTR lines recently and now here comes another. |
