Actually, at the end of the Defenders first (and best) run, Angel and Beast were both Defenders.

From Wikipedia:

The Defenders first appeared as a feature in Marvel Feature #1 (December, 1971), where the founding members gathered to battle the alien techno-wizard Yandroth and remained as a team afterwards. Due to the popularity of their tryout in Marvel Feature, Marvel soon began publishing The Defenders. The best-known and most prominent Defenders are Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Silver Surfer, Nighthawk, Valkyrie, and Hellcat. Many other heroes worked with the team in its original incarnation, and several became "official" members. Other notable members include Hawkeye, Devil-Slayer, Son of Satan, Clea, Moondragon, the Gargoyle, the Beast, Iceman, and The Angel.

Defenders membership was remarkably fluid as the characters consider the team a "non-team", yet a few members were somewhat recognizable, most noticeably the three founders (Doctor Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Incredible Hulk), the Silver Surfer, Valkyrie, Nighthawk, Hellcat, Moondragon and Gargoyle. A secondary tier of Defenders might include such members as Devilslayer, Moon Knight, Luke Cage, Clea, Wong and the Son of Satan.

So, while Angel, Iceman, and Beast were all Defenders at one point, I think that they're not included on the 'roster', as it were. At least not until 1983, which is when they're listed as 'official' Defenders.

I seem to recall seeing kits (or one of kind busts) made for both Valkyrie and Moondragon, haven't I..?
