Okay, see that last comment makes me think that between her and DB's daughter, they could be persuaded to do that scene in that context. I believe Jim Henson's Creature Shop in whatever incarnation it now exists in were actually the ones who created the Smile Time puppets, so they might still have puppet!Angel somewhere.

I have visions of the Count and puppet!Angel bickering and Buffy having to mediate. I'm going to be giggling all night long.
