My new toy! Or is that "action figure"? No, I'm pretty sure not.
Here are photos of the "Liam/Angelus" doll, for all who contributed. And curious onlookers. Thanks again!



Number 1: The larch. I mean, the dramatic portrait.

"Oh yeah, I'm a hunk. But why am I dressed like Liberace?"

It's a pretty good likeness. But dude: ceremonial skull! It looks a little menacing in this, but in person something about the eyes gives it a "Why me?" expression. The ceremonial pillow is the top of the skull, and it's got a little dent in it that you put the Orb of Thessulah into. Everything is so ceremonial.

I meant to take one where you can see the little bite-marks on his neck. I thought that was a nice touch.

Number 2:

"Ooo, ceremonial candles! Crap, my socks are falling down. Stupid socks."

I love that he comes with piles of bones. For no reason at all. It's the lamest prop ever. Totally balanced out by the skull, though. Tthe candles, if I understand correctly, were a special extra that were only included with the first 750 ordered. But there were only 750 made? So... huh? It's almost like the "licensed merchandise" business is a giant scam! But that's obviously crazy talk.

Number 3:

"Oops! Oh no, my soul!"

Number 4:

"I might be evil, but I still don't deserve this kind of treatment."

And, my favorite, number 5:

"Woo!"

At some point I'll have to set up some kind of crazy diorama with him fighting a velociraptor, Or Batman. Or both! Oo, and I have horsies for him to ride (because I'm planning to try to eBay them). Hours of entertainment!

Heeeeee. I love picture number 4 and 5. Angelus... doing disco! Which is something I think Angel did, actually.

You should make an animated GIF of Liam/Angelus dancing. Seriously. It would be just like that scene in "She" only better because he'd carrying a ceremonial skull.

Night Fever Angelus! Ha! Stayin' Undead?

Stupid Socks.

I can't stop laughing. I miss your recaps "like whoa." (This is apparently a new expression. Or an old one and I'm behind the times as usual.)

Heh. I think it's old, but it seems to have been catching on with the crowd who's been using it ironically for so long it's become unironic...al.

For instance, I love ellipses like whoa.

And so as not to use up two comments, I will hijack my own comment to SNeak and say, "Hee. Glad you enjoy your new toys, Strega."

Is it wrong that I'm aroused by picture number 5?

I have 'Let's get physical . . . phy-si-cal' going round in my head.

I'm so confused.

Help me someone.

Please.

Angel inaction figure

Strega those pictures are slightly disturbing yet highly amusing. I think that you should get Battlestar Galactaca action figures and do recaps with the figures. Maybe Angel/Angelus/Liberace could do guest appearances. Oh, wait, get Firefly action figures and do rude things to them to further piss off the Firefly fans.

Clearly, the doll is promoting a new show on FOX...
