1/6 Doctor Who Figures - BCS and everything else

[matrix69]

Looking back the warning signs were there that the company had cash flow problems.

First with that "launch pad" malarkey. And then when they stopped taking a deposit only, with the only options left being a monthly payment plan or paying in full.

I never did get to use my Launch Pad bonus points. I was hoping to use it on K9. That's another $150 they stole from me.

I'm upset I never got the 11th Doctor Tardis. What an idiot.

I have the 11th Doctor's Tardis if you are interested in it. Let me know? I can send you pics. Only opened to inspect however I no longer have the Doctor's coat. Thanks!

I'm afraid to ask how much.

If he says RRP, I'll take it.

Jerk!

I got burned years ago when an online retailer, Anime Island, went under. However, I give the guy from the company some credit because he seems to have made a good faith effort to refund as many people as possible. He was still refunding people years later. I only got a small portion of what I had on deposit with them but at least the dude tried.

I thought I'd inject a different topic into the thread since everyones feeling a bit gloomy about recent events.

So, hear me out on this...

Has anyone been watching the Marvel Loki series and thought it had a very similar flavour to Dr.Who? I was so excited for Hot Toys to produce figures from this series so needless to say I cant wait for my Loki to arrive.

I think hes going to look pretty cool in amongst my Doctors when I get him on display! I think this particular costume definitely helps him fit into the Who aesthetic!

I was thinking $700. I’m willing to work with you. Where do you want to be? For shipping, are you in the US?

I remember when Product Enterprise, a very similar company, went to the wall, they sold off their stocks to TK Maxx. I picked up their Avengers (UKTV not Marvel!) for £10 or some silly cheap price like that. That really annoyed the nearest retailer as they still had them in stock for the full retail price. There could be a small possibility that BCS could do the same thing, you never know.......

They already have sold off some stock to Master replicas. I know, I purchased some. Up to 70% off retail. Not sure if there will be more because they sold off stock before their announcement. The liquidators will sell the rest. Maybe auction houses.

I see, well, can't hurt to keep an eye out, you never know what might turn up. I never expected to see Product Enterprise in TK Maxx, but, there they were.

 

[Raven]

At first I thought they were totally different (TK Maxx = TJ Maxx? Nah couldn't be) but turns out they are the same company just different countries! I know it's WAY too late to find Product Ent stuff (did see them in Hastings and another store for roughly the going price though once). If I ever found BCS in a TJ Maxx I'd likely have an old school Sanford & Son coronary right there in the toy aisle. I'm comin Elizabeth!

Geez! I called this company out a while ago, was almost hounded off the Freaks for having my misgivings about BCS. So I made a conscious decision to not make my feelings about BCS known on here and give them the benefit of the doubt, looks like a lot of people will be out of pocket now.
I was monitoring the situation on here for several months but not contributing, the delays and excuse making was getting a bit ridiculous tbh.
I wonder if BCS had much stock left and if it will get sold to another company?

There's a guy on ebay selling 1/6 kits of the different classic console versions as well. I needs me a 4th Dr version.

I had seen these kits before on ebay, but can’t find them now. Do you happen to have any more info about them? Maybe he’s selling them elsewhere online?

I'm afraid i don't have any more info. I think it's possible he makes the kits in batches, so he might have more up for sale again.

I'm hoping someone/company will pick up those unmade protos and continue the line

Thanks for the response. I’ll just keep checking ebay to see if more turn up

A possible update about this. The group is private but basically everything has been sold off and they think the prototypes were thrown out. They've also had over 5000 claims form people who didn't get their order.

Take with a grain of salt of course.

Thrown out?
