Oh, [this is just the coolest thing EVER](http://www.action-figure.com/Article13079.html). Fifty bones might be a little steep, but it’s definitely enough to generate a conversation. ---

First, it’s not an exact replica. IMHO it’s not even [close](http://smiletime.restless-slayer.com/). And second, if it ain’t got a game face it ain’t worth no 50 bucks! ---

…except that the puppet featured looks nothing like Puppet Angel. ☹ Seriously, they didn’t even get the _shirt_ right. Man, a real Puppet Angel would be awsome. They could even make one of Vampire Puppet Angel. I would so buy that. (Especially if it came with a sword for him to carry) But this one? He looks more like Hank McCoy than Angel. ---

And it doesn’t even have the self-mocking eyebrow ridges. I cry foul. I would totally buy a REAL Puppet Angel. I knew Puppet Angel. Puppet Angel was a friend of mine. And you, sir, are no Puppet Angel. ---

And the nose has to come off! Does it come with a nekkid werewolf chick as an accessory? 😃 ---

Nope, it dosen’t lokk like the puppet from the show. ``` And, I'm betting the nose doesn’t even come off. ``` ---

A plush Spike doll would be the perfect gift for a couple of women I know, but Angel doesn’t excite them so much. So, I guess I can hold onto my money. ---

OK…is it me, or does he look more like Abraham Lincoln than PuppetAngel to anyone else? ---

Just a WAG. Maybe they’re doing puppets of all Team Angel, and this is Wesley. It looks more like Wesley than Angel, anyway. ---

Well it does look broody. But I just don’t like the eyebrows. The “real” Angel puppet had really thick ones.
