The Angel and Buffy range of action figures from Moore Action Collectibles have been cancelled.
The suspension of the range means that those hoping to add to their collection with this months Wesley, Darla and Lorne figures (and Vamp Darla and Rogue Demon Hunter Wesley variants), will be disappointed.
Here's the official statement from Moore:
There are many of you who are wondering what is happening with Moore Action Collectibles' long-awaited action figures based on characters from Twentieth Century Fox's Angel and Buffy television shows. We feel that we owe the following explanation to all of our loyal customers.
While fan reaction to the Angel series two Wesley, Lorne, and Darla action figures was great, the fact remains that general orders do not support the high cost of producing them. The cancellation of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television show has affected the orders for both the Buffy and Angel action figures, so MAC has made the decision to hold off production of both lines.
We realise that this news may be disappointing to our collectors. However, you may be pleased to know that we are taking the sculpts of the figures and releasing them as limited edition statue dioramas, which will be part of a series that began with the sold-out Spike Statue released through Moore Creations.
For those who wish to protest at the cancellation of the range, there is a petition thread on the Action Figure site, which you can access via the link at the top of the page.
