I think we all felt that way, since she didn't appear in the comics again. McFarlane just created different angels like Tiffany. I still think everyone would know who she is. The headpiece with wings is a dead giveaway. Red hair, ribbons, the white split skirt. I would have definitely preferred classic Angela, but it obviously isn't going to happen since Marvel changed her.

I know a lot of people will not agree with me but I'd rather have Drax in my collection than Angela. GOTG will not be complete without Drax.

Star-Lord is on his way per Igo. That would make Drax a really odd omission with the rest of the team assembled (Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot, Rocket). But it has happened before. **cough**X-MEN**cough**

OK you guys, I respect the work Sideshow does but this kinda makes me wonder why there exists a disconnect between fan choice and artistic expression.

I don't think any other toy company out there compares to Sideshow in terms of sophistication of sculpt and artistry... so before this comes off as whining keep in mind it is not. It's just a valid observation among competitors.

Hasbro makes an Angela figure, hell they even make a 80s Dazzler figure. Granted these are like GI Joe style action figures, but the point is they had to have gone thru approvals, more specifically Disney / Marvel.

Anyone wanna point out whats wrong with this picture?

So I'm under the impression that children are more likely to dish out hundreds of dollars for a statue of a female form comic character, whereas man-children over the ages of 18 are more likely to play with GI Joe style action figures?

Angela looks butt naked here like in the comics.... so how could Disney possibly say no to one and yes to another...

Just doesn't add up.

If Sideshow wanted to change Angela, then just say so but to allude that it was Marvel's decision I don't buy it.



its a good time to be a Marvel Legends collector though, wow.

confirmed for the Guardians of the Galaxy wave 2 series, looks like they are already planning merchandise for the new film.

Kid Nova and Angela are the only ones unveiled so far.

Is Sly Stallone in the new Guardians movie?

I think this looks great. I don't understand the dislike for it. Whether is the bikini clad version or this version or the ugly version Marvel had when she had in her recent series, it is Angela. Very recognizably too, more so than Gamora, who looks more like a Mass Effect character
