Buffy and Angel 12" lines on hold

[BillyBudd]

I hope the departure of these sculptors doesn't mean that there won't be a PF Angel. That would piss me off because it would make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

 

[sueworld]

Yes,

Andy has an exclusive with DC Direct and Oluf hasn't had any new sculpts in a while...

But Oluf's one of the best sculptors they've got. That sounds so ridiculous to not use him.

 

[BillyBudd]

Yeah, I really hope Oluf is still working for Sideshow...for the sake of the PF line.

Hey Sue, who made that Spike sculpt on the far right of your sig? Its looks brilliant!

 

[sueworld]

The Spike portrait on the end was done by a friend of mine I was talking about here...

The size is about the same as a Sideshow one. I just painted it.

"You got mad skills" as a painter!

 

[sueworld]

Aww, thanks love. Until I had to stop working due to a chronic illness I used to be a creature shop painter for films and TV for the last 20 years or so, so you do manage to pick up a few tips along the way!

 

[Darren Carnall]

hey sueworld... I just did a google search and found your stuff over on deviantart. (I'm not a stalker.. honest, lol) Some excellet stuff you got over there

You're quite the talented thing aren't ya..... (love meeting really talented people)

 

[sueworld]

My, you are quite the detective eh!

Thanks. Since the onset of the illness I do most of my 'work' on Photoshop these days. Nearly all based around the subject dear old Spikey, as you saw.

 

[Darren Carnall]

yes... i did happen to catch the 'theme'

and some things are just worth detecting out

 

[sueworld]

Thanks love. That character is my 'muse' poor wee sod that he is!

I've had a look at some of your work too (I'm on dial-up so I've only managed to see a little so far) and you're quite the talented chap yourself. I love your oil paintings, and your Anokin (spelling?) re-sculpt was just wonderful!

 

[Anzik]

You guys all do some kick ass work. I'm green with envy.

 

[screamingmetal]

It's sad to hear but I do think Sideshow isn't entirely done with Angel just yet. I think we could see at least a Wes and possibly Fred before they end it for good but they won't be coming for a few years.
I just know that my 1/6 Angel collection is completely unfulfilled at this point.

Abstract Harmony has gotten this forum breathing again with one post. It would really piss me off to no end if SSC sees this incredible response to the head commission and decides they screwed up.

Yes it was great of them to virtually announce the Angel line just in time to put it on a shelf for an undetermined time. And even if we do get Wes and Fred in "years" to come, it is almost as inexcusable as the exasperatingly long wait Buffy fans endured for Giles.

 

[sueworld]

Well I like so many others here see the 'on hold' as being 'canceled' but just out of interest isn't there a time limit connected to a license given out to toy companies? How long can Sideshow drag it out if they want to?

Hopefully not as long as they did with Highlander.

 

[sueworld]

And how long was that then?

 

[Ironman1188]

Well, the first Buffy was released on 07-25-2001, and its 2007 now, soooo.....

 

[sueworld]

I find that odd. Things may have changed since 'my day' but over here in the UK toy manufacturers have a defined period in their licenses to get their products out there. Beyond that they then have to re-negotiate a new one.

No wonder Sideshow can bugger product lines about if they have all the time in the world to do it!
