From yesterday's "Ask Sideshow" chat:

Dave: That Angel is great - now about Illyria...

SideshowBrant: May I be honest about Illyria? She's a fantastic character, but that costume would be very, very difficult to pull off nicely in 1:6 scale.

Dave: yeah, but you have to try!

SideshowBrant: There you are Dave...

Dave: yep

I'm going to infer that Brant is implying that Team Sideshow, undaunted and unafraid, will one day deliver unto us in all her magnifigance, an Illyria!

Right? :crying

Sounds like the Illyria fans are in for a good long wait. Maybe she'll become the Giles of this line.

Okay, I would still really love them to try as well. This is a must have figure. But, if they decide not to do it in the 1:6 scale I'm hoping we get a special PF Illyria. I don't own any figures of that scale but I'd make an exception for Illyria!!

I really hope they do a PF line. I want at least a Buffy.

Although I'd want mine not made out of that strechy material but the harder leather like stuff from the ep. Or it might look alittle cheap. NOT saying that it isnt a amazing custom but thats just how I'd want mine.

I think it looks fine. I'd be completely satisfied if Sideshow went this direction.

Wow, looks impressive to me! I'm betting Sideshow could do a fantastic outfit just based on how this guy is putting his together. Seeing that makes me want an Illyria figure even more!

I choose to read that as "Yes, we are planning a 1/4 PF Illyria." :horror :google :blissy :D

But if a guy can do a version as well as in that link, then Sideshow really shouldn't have a problem, based on their fine work in the past. And if they are doing a 1:6 Angel line, then not delivering Illyria would be like the Buffy line not getting Giles. Oh, waitaminute...

For the talented minds and hands at Sideshow? Definitely!!

I just don't see what the big deal is. Take a tight fitting body suit and sew the pieces onto it, it doesn't seem all that complicated.

Yeah... It should be as simple as making a tweed suit for a librarian......oh, wait.... :banghead

Well if Illyria would be difficult, I have a suggestion. Brant, if you're reading this, why not just get the Underworld license and practice by making a 12" and 1/4 PF version of Selene? :naughty That would give you good experience before making Illyria. :joy :blissy :D

More costly, but not more difficult design-wise. Since they're selling those two Evangelion Medicom RAH female figures that have full-body suits on couldn't SST work with Medicom to come up with a solution that has both the right look and at least some articulation. I'd be fine with an Illyria with somewhat limited articulation if the suit looked as good as those Evangelion suits. I know cost would be an issue but since SST already has a license to sell Medicom in the US I'm sure they could work something out so it wouldn't be as much.
