Other than the fact that the Angel PF should be a full head taller than Buffy it looks pretty good. If only they'd given him the puppet "Smile Time" Angel as an accessory, I would have picked him up. Perhaps there will be another seeing he's sold out
Perhaps the success of this figure will lead to an Angelina Jolie version then all people can be happy...not that that could ever happen in this hobby!!! :lol
the still shows what a great job Hot Toys has done on that outfit and like everyone else has said the likeness of the sculpt is fantasic. (Perhaps the same sculptor can do Faith and Willow next time 'round for Sideshow?) :monkey1
Seriously though, how good could a Selene (Kate Beckinsale...
What an amazing looking figure, I've ordered one.
I think a recast of the head could be used to make a great figure of her from King Arthur when she was all painted up and that harness thing she wore could cover up the joints.

No matter how hunched the Angel PF may be there's no way in :devil - land that Angel's PF...
If the question were, which Willow do you think would be the best representation of the character I'd agree, but we're talking a PF and there's no way in the world I'd spend my $300 on a nerd / geek version of Willow, no matter now much I liked the character and wouldn't want one of her from...
Whether a PF would be successful or not, or whether it's a good choice or not, I don't think the chances are any good at all.
Based not on what I want to see, or what I think would sell well, but purely on what I think is mostly likely to be made I weighed all the possibilities and then pulled...
Well, I was only going to get him if he came with a 1/4th Smile Time Angel as the exclusive anyway so the fact that the sculpt isn't what I was looking for makes me feel better in passing on this one. (the sculpt does remind me of this pic, that points out how Angel's PF MUST be noticably taller...
FYI, they're called gaiters. The most common use you'll see today is a nylon version people will wear to cover where their pants tuck into their ski boots, if they wear those type anyway.
