Maybe. I mean, we don't know if she'll leave in Series 8. And if she does, isn't the current expectation that we won't see Series 8 begin until Fall of 2014? I might be off about that.
Personally, I'm okay with BCS concentrating on Doctors.

These gaps in the TV schedule are getting ridiculous. A half-season 2012, a half-season 2013, then they take off until the Fall of 2014? Yet another reason the show needs a new showrunner....
But I would be surprised if she's still there in 2015.
One would hope. In any case, the schedule is the least of my problems with what Moffat has done in the last couple of years. But I'm OT.

I got Amy yesterday and she's a relief and a disappointment. She's not nearly as bad as some are making out - but she's also a disappointment in that she's not really Karen either. It's unfortunate that there's a pic of Karen all over the box too, so you can make an immediate comparison. Perhaps Karen requested that they slim her face, but it didn't help the likeness and certainly didn't make the figure more attractive. The part in the hair is in the completely wrong place and seems to be rooted that way rather than styled, so there's no way to fix it.
The outfit is good - I didn't have a problem with the tights and skirt as has been reported. I'm not sold on the body though. It seems to be of a very soft material and hands and feet would fall off just with gentle handling. The joints seem okay.

Hi Dave, what do you think of the head with the sculpted hair?

If it looks like the proto - that's the one I'm going to use. It does look like the face sculpt is different.

And yet, we've been told it's the same... they couldn't (gulp) be telling porkies could they?
:eek
I have to say that the sculpted version looks MUCH better. I honestly can't get over how the rooted hair version looks. The hair isn't even the problem. It's the face. I've never seen such a lifeless face sculpt and it just has no likeness to the person. The sculpted one has more life and slightly better likeness.

No porkies. It's more a case of terminology. Everyone refers to the "sculpt", which has not changed, period. The problems with the head have been a result of shrinkage and distortion in tooling. This is partly due to the nature of the mask and skullcap like construction as opposed to a complete head. Shrinkage is always an issue no matter what plastic is injected into the tools. It's down to having very skilled workers, which is sadly beyond our control, no matter how much we ***** and moan at them. For clarity once again however, this sculpt is the very same likeness as approved by Karen, her agent and the bbc.
Thanks BCS

I find that mine looks better when the display cupboard is lit rather than natural light,seems to bring the colours out a bit more
I have mine back in China!
Well, it's a pretty shipper with a nice logo on the front .
In truth, I've not opened it yet. I do want to wait till I get the new head as I think that it looks really good.
I might crack, and open it up tomorrow !

Doesn't sound like it - it sounded like it's just for people who order the full figure. I suppose if they ended up with a lot of unclaimed heads?
I know that I like the look of the new head, and it's due in a couple of months. That shot they use in the website is really cool, and I want the figure to look like that.
However, I can't see me not opening it, to be honest.
When I do, I will be truthful in my opinion, but at this time expectations are running low! And only for that rooted hair, which ( if our original BC thread hadn't been wiped out) I said from day one would never work for them.
