Jul. 25th, 2004 08:31 pmAccording to the Forbidden Planet newsletter, next month sees the release of limited edition collectable Angel plates. The first series features Angel, Cordy, Wes and Gunn.
Yeah, you heard. Collectable. Fucking. Plates.
Now I freely admit to being a merchandise whore, but the idea of eating my tea off Wesley's face is wrong on more levels than I can count. And I wish I hadn't thought that.
Why are there collectable plates? Why are the Angel merchandising people wasting precious time and resources on kitchen ware when they should be working on mass producing an Angel puppet? What is wrong with the universe?!
For future reference, what I really want to see is a line of Angel plushies, similar to the Kenshin ones that had Kenshin with several different facial expressions and outfits. It'd be great - they could have two Angelus dolls, one of the bad old days with the fluffy hair and the frockcoat, and one of the Sunnydale Angelus with a silk shirt and leather pants. And the smexy smirk of evility, of course. And then you have grumpy!Angel, with the scowl and the all-black; corporate!Angel with the Wolfram and Hart suits; wacky disguise!Angel with silly hat and Miami Vice shirt and socially awkward!Angel with the guilt-induced white sweater and his "please don't seduce me!" face.
Of course, all clothes shall be interchangable, because everyone wants to see Angelus in a wacky disguise.
