Premium Format Angel preview...

[sueworld]

The first small teaser shots have been released for the Premium Format Angel figure.

Oh dear, he's a bit of a mess isn't he.

I believe Sideshow are once again guilty of basing a figure on publicity shots rather then what he actually wore in the series, as they did with the recent Buffy figure in this line.



Here's the shot they've obviously based the whole thing on, but tried to change the expression.



Thing is they've stuck a AtS series five head, on a Buffy season 1 outfit and body. The face is far too old looking, and not a very good likeness for that matter. Considering what he's wearing he should have had a far more youthful look, rather then the 'grumpy grandpa' on he's sporting now.

This really isn't god enough. I mean did they even look at much reference of him, or just grab the first publicity still that came to hand? :confused:

Still, the back of him looks nice!



*ETA* In case anyone wants to try and leave some feedback for this figure, and try and get Sideshow to improve it before it's final release, then here's a good a place as any to it...

They definitely need to change the face, compared to the Buffy and Spike this is just terrible! I want a skinny Angel statue! The coat looks to be from a Season 3 promo shot, not season one.

The face is a little off. I am hoping that they fix it by the time that he is released. I wonder if we will ever see any more Premium Format Sideshow Buffy or Angel figures in the future. I'd love to see Faith, Willow, Cordelia and even Xander as premium format figures.

I'd like to see a really nice looking modern Buffy. The red/black outfit is incredibly tired.

How about a Season 7 looking Buffy? Would it kill them to make her with her hair down in her usual style? I'm baffled.

A more modern Buffy would definitely be cool.

I suppose the next likely character for a premium statue would be Willow. But I would love a Xander one cause he's my favorite. I think they find him hard to classify. What's the 'essence of Xander'? Its easier make figures of the other characters.
