Hope for Illyria?

[FrankenFan]

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?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

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

 

[Firefly Flanatic]

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!!

Look at this custom Illyira over at BtVsfigs forum!

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

Doesn't look all that difficult to pull off to me.

 

[BDboystoys]

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.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

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

 

[Firefly Flanatic]

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."

 

[Darklord Dave]

Good one Fritz - you too are a "gotta be a pony here somewhere" kinda guy...

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...

 

[FrankenFan]

Piece of cake, right?

 

[Ironman1188]

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

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

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.

 

[Ironman1188]

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

 

[Fritz]

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? That would give you good experience before making Illyria.

snigger, teehee

That guy is a genius! Sideshow, you should SO listen to him
