I am very sad to report that I received an email today from Sideshow toys that they are putting the Buffy/Angel line on hiatus, and possibly for good.
They of course are doing this because of declining sales. Where are all the fans? I buy them like crazy, even tho they do cost a lot after a while. But they are missing a lot of key characters and they only just began the Angel line. They have only 3 characters and didn't even make Wes one of them. It is very sad and I am sad to share it with you. I hope that if there are any 12" Buffy/Angel sideshow collectors on here you will show your support and either email sideshow, or make a post on their website under the giles figure info board. Which you can find by clicking on the buffy link on the left hand side of the page.

Wow, that doesn't seem the smartest! You would think they would have taken a hiatus while the Show was off air, now that the comic is back there's bound to be a jump in intrest again!
 
They did take a 1.5 year hiatus when it was off air and then brought it back. I think their problem is they make too many of the same one, like 2000 each or more. If they put quantities down to about 750 or 1000 then I think they would have no problem selling them.
 
Yeah, what tabularasa said. I have the Prophecy Girl Buffy and was a little unexcited about the quality, but I have seen how good others look. And actually, haven't they OFFICIALLY cancelled the line? That's what I've heard at the BtVSFigs Forum.

They might be having a cartoon Buffy line, though:

It looks pretty interesting.

The email I received said Hiatus, but I would not be surprised if it gets closed for good.
