I'll plead for the Fifth.

I'd love the 3rd. Pertwee was my first Doctor.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

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!

It appears a lot of people have had this issue, and I think we should all be asking Big Chief to help us rectify this by providing the correct connecting parts.

One option Big Chief might consider is to start offering the Anatomix Standard Slim bodies...I think this would make a lot of sense given the amount customizing their products are encouraging:

Right now I have the two new head sculpts that each represent a custom figure in the works, and shortly the Series 7 11th Doctor will be out, representing a third custom in the works as it comes with the Exclusive 12th Doctor head sculpt. In the Fall we are going to have the 10th Doctor's pajamas and slipper set.

For anyone in the UK who still wants Tom (the original figure) BBC Shop have him for £149.99 delivered in the UK; if you use the discount code RPMAY15 you can get him for £135 shipped, but that code is only valid until midnight tonight UK time. No idea about overseas shipping I'm afraid. Here's the link:

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.

Personally I'd like to see Troughton as the next classic Doctor, but I want them all so whichever one comes next is fine by me!!

I want McCoy. He's not my favourite Doctor but I think he would make a great figure and there's plenty of posing options for him. I think McGann is next though, isn't he, based on Big Chiefs comments recently?

10 and 8 next! I'm working on a 7th custom at the moment. PM me if you'd like a head and a link to a jumper.

8? BCS has already said Eccleston is next.

 

[captainjamesbrooke]

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

Yes that's right, then 8.

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

I wonder which 8. TVM or NotD? I would love either version but I almost think NotD would be my preference (especially if it included a young John Hurt sculpt!)

Next classic Doctor, I meant. Yes I think Eccleston is their next release.

I would be okay with either version and I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually made both. I would probably prefer the TVM version though since it would probably bring more accessories but either one is fine by me.

Pretty sure they will include headsculpts for both versions so you can choose which version you feel like displaying.

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!

Ah, cool. I thought it would be too thick to do that. Thanks

Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker

The tiny knitting she does is amazing mate, it's really a shrunk down version of the proper scarf. It's a real art, my eyes and fingers would no way be able to do it.

Hey, do you think you could post a full-length shot of it? Still want to get a better idea of the pattern and how it fits. Thanks again for the help

I tried to message her through FB and she has not responded.

If you guys pm me your email address I'll pass it on to her. Seems she won't get messages unless you are on her friends list

This new head is phenomenal, really nailed his likeness this time! The head was kinda a pain to get in, I am used to heating up parts to swap but this one seemed especially difficult for some reason.

I hope they release a Season 18 Tom Baker as I would easily dole out the cash needed
