Many Buffy/Angel licenses have come and gone, some with more successful runs than others. I don't think any has ended with everyone being satisfied, so I ask....
If you were given the choice to take any company's line and revive it, which line would you choose?

For me, it's between MAC's initial line, DST's deluxe figures or Palisiades block figures.
MAC figures are probably my favourite, but as a company they sucked ass. If there was a world where they were left to sculpt the figures and a more reliable company shipped them, I'd have been in heaven. I was very sore when the comapny went under. I lost my chance to own a number of figures I waited for months and months to get. DST stepped in and provided me with some of those, but as soon as they started sculpting their own everything turned to crap for me.
DST really shined with the deluxe line I thought. I couldn't care a less for the Willows that never made it, but I do feel like there were a lot of opportunities lost beyond that. With the part re-use, figures would have gotten cheaper, and variant's were becoming more feesable very quickly. I always believed that Gunn would have been around the corner if the line continued. Shame.
I thought the PALZ were brilliant. I only bought the first wave, and I'm gutted that now series 2 are very hard to come by. The company did a great job with the figures, accessories and bonuses (headstones and build-a-judge). With only 2 series, we got a fantastic range of characters. Series 3 looked great and offered a build-a-snake-mayor pack in with each figure which would have been awesome. Not only that, but shortly before the company went under, they picked up the Angel license as well. When this line died, I think we lost our last solid chance to get a Doyle figure, *sad face*

Probably DST's 6 inch line(with a better paint job). And I'll tell you why.
I thought they were great(assuming they had good paint jobs).They were good figures, most had a good resemblence to the actors and are much better to display. I love the Deluxe figures, but for me, I like to display them, so the 6'' figures are better for me. I find the deluxe to sometimes be a pain to display and I much prefer it when figures dont have so much articulation that they look like lego figures that you can build.

I love the MAC figures, DST also made some really good Willow, Anya and Tara figures but they were really MAC figures so I will go with MAC.

I voted for the deluxe line. That was the first one I was really able to get into.
I was never really into 6in articulated figures before picking up OMWF Buffy and End of Days Faith. I remember grumbling about how I did not like whatsoever paying $15 for 1 figure. But after opening them and playing with the for a bit, that grumbling went completely away. Such awesome toys.
Although I do feel they kinda got cheaper and had alot of problems as the line went along. The Buffy/Faith wave was perfect though.

I voted for the MAC line. I really love my figures that are made by them; I think that the earlier ones have the best likeness and the coolest accessories. My Giles made by MAC is my absolute favorite figure that I have; I love his Vampyr book and DuLac cross. I just wish that they would've made more of the same standard of quality, but later in the tv series.

I choose deluxe. Even tough I think the sideshows look great, they're too expensive, and I really want the cancelled deluxe tough willow.

I have started to get back into the Sideshow's 12 inch line (I only had Cordy and a Buffy)... and I have 8 now. I wish they would have made a Fred/Anya/Connor/human face Darla/Wes and Doyle
