Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker
I just wish I could find someone willing to do so for mine...
And yes, the smiling head is back in stock. If anyone wants one they might want to jump to it sooner rather than later, who knows how many they have left...
I really like the first head, just needs good paint

I have not gotten my figure yet either. My figure just shipped. I was going to hold off on getting the head until i actually got the figure and see for myself what i think of the head that comes with the figure but when i saw people were saying the head sold out i got nervous and just ordered the head also.

I have no problem with the original head...this is a great set as is. Having the new smiling face will make for a great custom!

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker
It's a good sculpt, marred by a really bad factory paint job, the same problem we have seen time and time again with other 1:6 companies like SSC. With a really good repaint though it looks good and gives us both sides of Tom's characteristic facial expressions. Now I just gotta find somebody to repaint mine as well.
I don't know how that hideous thing ever got approved

I'll bet BCS were happy with that mistake, seeing it forced a bunch of us to order them as soon as they fixed it lol.

Got my head today. Looks fantastic. Hopefully, it won't be two hard to swap them out.

I'm satisfied with the stock version, I just wish the paint was better.

Imo the original prototype was a good sculpt, but that changed when the damn factory processed it and made it a lot thinner/pinched in the face, helping to throw the likeness off. Thats and the appalling paint job of course.

Apparently the Fourth Doctor figure is almost sold out at BCS, according to a friend of theirs who posted on Facebook. As it's taken almost two years to sell out I can't really see them doing another run, so time to jump on this if you wanted a body for the smiling head.

I wish they would set up low stock alerts for their products. My smiley head is on route but I haven't picked up the figure yet

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker
this how it went it down for me-
first took of hair.
grabbed the neck so when i pulled off the head the neck wouldnt come off as well. the head came off with the barbell joint, next boiled some water, used that to warm up the socket that the barbell joint is in inside the head(used a spoon to drip some of that hot water in) then grabbed the barbell joint with pliers and pulled that out of head. the connector is glued into the og head so most likely the barbell joint will come out alone. in the new head the connector isnt glued in so got that out with tweezers and then dropped it in the boiled water to heat it up and popped that onto the barbell joint, the big end. put back in head. then warmed the neck hole on bod and popped new head on.
tools to have at hand, pliers, needle and tweezers.
took me about 10 mins or so. i have spare barbell joint so will put that in og head to make process easier next time i switch.
its alot easier than it sounds, once you get goin the momentum and fear of having a headless 4th doc kicks in and you power thru kinda, best way to describe it i guess. abit macguyver ish cuz you kinda deal with it all on the fly etc
