Thanks for reporting that info.
I've ordered PF Spike and I'd love an Angel, but it would financially kill me to get him, let alone keep collecting that line.
Do they honestly think we're all filthy rich out here or what? I'm afraid I can't be one of the 'cash cows' any longer.

Once the Angel figure is released, I think I'll be fine with it. I've no need for any of the Scoobies, personally.
I do, however, hope for the other more stalwart collectors that such figures are eventually released.

Well, Dusty did state that "Sideshow's Buffy and Angel lines have been retired… for now."

I was thinking that the alternative version of Lorne might be a SDCC exclusive. I thought that they might want to have a really small run since not that many collectors are going to want him and are still smarting over the line's cancellation... much like the "Vision" Lawgiver statue was released at the VERY end of the Planet of the Apes line and was limited to only 100 pieces. 
However Dusty alludes in the podcast that he will be a offered as a regular figure. It will be interesting to see the collector reaction to this offering given the context.

This just in: Elvis is still dead... FOR NOW.
Hopefully they will spread out their interests after this big SW year is over.

So now it's official (for some it already was) that we're getting PF Angel and Blue Suit Lorne. I can't wait! oh, and if this is how a line on hold is like, I'm not that devastated. And what's more important, if the line's going to continue on PF form, we might see Willow some day, even Faith or a cool monster like the Beast, the Master, a gentleman.... The ES for Red Pants Buffy is excellent and it might be a sign that we might get a couple more statues this year after the "big three" are out. Now I just wish that "...for now" means we'll get a Wesley, Fred and Gunn someday, just like The X Files line had their Kryceck and Skinner.
I think its bad how sideshow can put the angel line on hold after just three figures surely they must realise that that just not fair on the fans who have just started there collection, i have all the Buffy figures (12'') and was looking forward to a large collection of angel figures to run along side them, but if theres only going to be three what was the point.
I more than alittle pissed by this move and may take my money somewhere else if this is how true fans are treated, sideshow must know there not only going to loose tons of money and orders but alot of people will take there custom somewhere else

Kind of hard to have confidence in the PF line going on indefinitely when they killed off the Angel line after three measley figures. And one of them was a re-hash of a figure already done, which I bought to support the new Angel line. I trusted Sideshow to give us a decent Angel line, supported the promise of the line, and got far less than I expected. I would not have started collecting them if I had known it would end before it even began. Sideshow has really disappointed me and I feel like I was mislead and conned into buying into the new Angel line. Why the big announcement of a new "Angel" line if they were going to kill it before it even got going?
And I find it laughable that they now expect people to respond in a positive manner to the PF line and support that when they failed us so miserably with the 12" line (at least with the Angel line).
The "Angel" line was all shiny and new and may have brought in Buffy/Angel fans who may have wanted to get in on the new PF line. But, the lack of support for the 12" figures is a huge turn-off. People like to complete their collections and Sideshow has shown they don't care to follow through.
And while Buffy's 12" run had many figures, Sideshow should have given us a new Faith and Willow which they butchered and I still bought just to support the line. And I also bought D'Hoffryn because I expected an Anya to eventually come along to go with him.

That's what really stumps me. Angel was a much more low-profile, cult show than Buffy so they had to know the figures weren't going to be fast sellers and yet they made a big deal of announcing the line and made it seem like it was an important license to them. I never really expected the line would get past the six main cast members, but with the fanfare it was launched with I would have never suspected it wouldn't even make it that far. If they weren't commited to at least making those six, why bother? It just makes no sense.Firefly Flanatic said:

Makes me think of that old Garret Morris bit on SNL - "Our top story tonight, the Buffy line is still dead."
Showing my age with that one, lets see who gets it.

Well said FF.
I think most people feel the same way you do.
See thing is take a look at Sideshow's other product lines. PF's and comiquettes make up a good portion of what Sideshow as a company are focusing on at this time. If it wasnt for LOTR and Star Wars the only 12" figures we'd see out of them are probably The Dead every now and then. So for them to say we'd like to see the PF line go on indefnatley makes sense thats what they seem to want. However at 250 a peice its hard for everyone to get behind. The 12" are much easier on the wallet and on the shelf space but it seems that the 1/6 market beyond SW and LOTR isnt something Sideshow seem to be interested in.

I'd love a PF Lorne. Will they be doing "Angel" PFs? If they gave us Illyria, it would (kind of) make up for the absence of the character in 1:6 form.
