Angel Lorne The Host 12-inch Action Figure

Lorne was born as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan in the demonic dimension of Pylea. Lorne, as he preferred to be called, wasn't like his fellow Deathwok clan demons, bloodthirsty "champions" constantly undertaking quests against evil. He was a gentle soul who did not share his kin's prejudice against humans (or "cows" as they were called in his world). Lorne would rather flirt with the female demons and enjoy life than train to be a fighter. He also enjoyed beauty, art, and even music, which was difficult considering his world had no music. Lorne refused to train his innate mystical senses to learn to hunt beasts and was considered the shame of his clan.
Every party needs a host. Somebody to keep things lively, pump up the volume, raise the roof, everybody say "Ho-o". Now, if that host can also read your aura by watching you sing karaoke, all the better. On the television show Angel, they had just such a host, named Lorne. He owned a bar where vampires and werewolves and demons could come to hang without fear of getting bitten or staked. A place where peace was enforced through magic, at least for awhile. Unfortunately, that Eden, like the original was eventually destroyed, and Lorne went on to become part of Angel's scooby gang. Sideshow is following up the release of Cordelia with Lorne. He was also limited to just 1500 pcs world wide. With Sideshow sold-out you can still find this item at DarkFigures.com along with other figures from the 12 inch Angel/Buffy figure line.
