Looks good my only nitpick is there is there is too much spacing in between teeth where the gums are showing. Teeth need repainted.

Yeah those teeth look pretty bad. Otherwise this version looks good.

Mine just arrived. The skin tone is a huge improvement over that ashen tone on the first sculpt as are the eyes. Teeth still bug me so I might try some light drybrushing to get rid of the gums in between. Very happy with the new sculpt. Hope BC do a tweed jacket expansion pack.

Didn't know this required a signature and of course they didn't knock and just stuck a note on the door...

Those pics look pretty good outside of the teeth. Maybe those are some weird time lord gums >_<

My quick video comparison of the 2 heads. The new one is better in every way.

Thanks for the review and thanks to everyone who have posted pictures. Now I definitely want one!


I am extremely happy with the existing figure so that means I would need to build a new outfit...not sure where to begin.

Thanks for making and sharing Vincent. The sculpt doesn't look any good to me in pics, and I thought it was an easy pass - but it looks great in this video. I might have to get this after all.

One issue I could see happening if you stick with the original head and display it with the other Doctors the original head may look way too pale in comparison. The Hartnell skin tone has a much more pink look and so does this new head and if they continue this look for future Doctors poor Tom would like a wax dummy next to them, not that it would be the first time that's happened.

I can't get the stupid ball pin thing out of the original head. I pulled off the head and the whole neck assembly came out

yeah i hear that, happened to me when i was trying to switch sherlock heads awhile back. so frustrating. im about to try and put new head on tom and not looking forward to it for same reason.

do you have any pliers? wrap a cloth around end of ball barbell and grab and pull with pliers, cloth is to stop the ball gettin all jacked up.

gonna try to heat my og tom head a lil bit first but no to much cuz then connector pulls out of head. i realize for many experienced with 1/6 it aint no thing switchin heads but im relatively new and it still stresses me out, lol.

Apply heat.
