(More customer reviews)"The Ring" is the first season episode of "Angel" that is basically the show's demon version of "Fight Club." Angel is investigating a disappearance of someone when he ends up disappearing as well, being enslaved by an underground gladiator fight ring. The only way to survive is for Angel to kill his opponents, which he is not particularly inclined to do, and sparking a Spartacus-like revolt seems a long shot. But what else would you expect a vampire with a soul to do?
This six-inch action figure of Angel from "The Ring" offers one of the best sculpts of David Boreanaz's face in this current series. Angel is stripped down to his manly white t-shirt and black pants, accessorized by a metal wrist cuff that prevents the enslaved fights from crossing the red lines on the floor and in the ring. The distinguishing feature of the series is that instead of attaching the figure to a peg in the base they just stand there and there is a six-inch backing to the base. For this figure there are a pair of double manacles hanging from the wall. The other accessories are a big stick and your basic knife. This is one of the few figures in recent series from Diamond Select Toys that does not have a weapon (or baby) already in the figure's hand(s) kept in place by a thin strip o' plastic.
Also included in this latest series of Angel figures are the Season Five Angel, Vampire Angel (with baby Connor), Pylean Demon Angel, and "Graduation Day" Angel, to go along with Season Three Fred, "Shells" Illyria, and Illyria in full demon mode. With the previously released figures of Cordelia, Wesley, Lorne, Darla, and Faith, you can choose you favorites of each character and create your own little "Angel" tableau. Plus you can change the figures as the muse strikes you. Now all we really missing from "Angel" is Gunn, although a grown up figure of Connor and one of Doyle would be sweet as well. I would not find figures of Harmony, Lindsey and Lilah ("The Ring" was her first appearance), not to mention Eve and the Groosalugg.
