Got the figure yesterday. I really like it but i can see why so many were complaining about the head that comes with it. To me it looks like Tom Baker but the paint is not very good. It just doesn't look right to me. I could live with it but it's not great. Today i got the second head and wow it is such an improvement. Really glad i ordered it. Much better paint and now just really looks like the Doctor. This really should have been the way the head that comes with the figure looked.
Now i am really sorry i missed out on the first 10th and 11th figures. I did pre-order the new 10th and 11th and 12th. I just have to now order the 1st doctor figure.
I really hope the continue this line with the rest of the Doctors i'd love to have a figure for all of them.

That looks good. I'm trying to get those geewiz custom guys to make me a new scarf and jacket that's the right color for season 14. I just hope they're not too expensive

It wasn't as hard to change as I was expecting. Even though I prefer the somber look, this is a much better sculpt.

Thanks for that contact info. The only problem I see is that the material might be too thick for something to wrap snugly around the neck and not look bulky. It works great for that later season look, though. The geewiz people said they would try something called sublimation printing onto fabric. My biggest obstacle has been the pattern. Scaling the season 13 scarf to 1:6 is way too short. BCS used a season 13 scarf that looks to have been scaled closer to 1:4

Well, I thought I was being smart when I purchased a Sideshow Snake Plissken neck plug off E-bay. Sadly although the ball joint that goes into the head sculpt is the right size, the one that goes into the neck plug is over twice the fricking size! I also managed to remove one of the buttons off the jacket trying to get the orginal head sculpt off! Fortunately I didn't lose it, but by God it's tiny and re-gluing it is going to be a right pain.

So the net result is that I still have the orginal head on the figure and am misisng a button. Not ideal. Here's the thing, why on Earth did Big Chief not provide a neck plug with the sculpt? Am I the only one that thinks that it's absolutley ludicrous that they didn't? Surely the idea is that you can swap out the head sculpts without having to boil the fricking heads everytime you wish to do so. It's madness I thell thee. I'd gladly have paid another £5.00 to have the neck plug attached, a tenner even!

If you talk to the lady I sent you the info on she has a pattern and perfect colours that I helped her work out which will give a great 1/6 result and is fine enough to wrap and hang just right.

I promise you'll not find better, trust me, I've looked!

Tom is now SOLD OUT on BCS and the new smiling heads are selling fast too apparently.

Feel free any time. Cheers.

Part of me wonders if they shouldn't have gone with a smiling sculpt for Tom all along, though if it had production issues at the time might have meant that it didn't work out looking as good as what we have now, and we probably never would have gotten a more serious/somber look at all.

Still, all's well that ends well, I guess.

Now, with the Fourth Doctor sold out, the second head sculpt in low stock, and the First Doctor in low stock, where's our next classic era Doctor?

This is great news for BCS. I made sure I had both head sculpts incase they sold out.

If we are lucky, BCS will consider either some future clothing options, or a new Fourth Doctor release. Right now, ordering custom clothing to customize your figure is extremely costly, and understandably so given the work/time that goes in to producing them by hand; the outcome is great if you can afford to do it!
