I want a 1/6th scale Peri figure, damn was she stunning.
Figure is back with BC for almost 2 weeks, last week they said I would get my refund this week but got nothing so far. July 19th is the last day I can open a PayPal case, hope I don't have to do that but I will if necessary. I know they're super busy but they already confirmed that they have the figure back and clicking 'send refund' takes around 2 seconds.
Lesson learned, they'll never get any money again before I've seen in-hand pictures of a figure.

I wouldn't, I think that they'll capitalize on the 50th. We are already getting another 11 based on the 50th, I think that you'll see both Rose and Clara released in their same 50th looks for it.
Sarah Jane seems like a lock but I wouldn't be shocked if she gets shuffled further down the line. I think after the 50th you'll see BCS really trying to squeeze in some Aliens since there is less of a chance of likeness issues and a lot of those figures sell on their look alone. Sideshow definitely does it for their Star Wars lines and get rave reviews for their aliens when taking a "human break" and I think we'll get a few of those before heading back into Doctors and companions.
I do though think before everything is said and done both River and Rory will get the BCS treatment.
Who I'm really hoping for is these three:
I think after Amy BCS know the wisdom where, in attempting to capitalize on the year long celebration of the programs FIFTY YEAR HISTORY, the focus would be on characters reflecting that FIFTY YEAR HISTORY rather than focusing on a few characters who were used in a few stories in the last year (Clara was only really in one half of the most recent series). So work those lungs, because I think it's going to be a while before they get to Clara and even longer for Strax, Jenny, and Vastra.

Strax, Jenny and Vastra are long shots but I think we'll see Clara sooner than later. if they were only focusing on the fifty year history we wouldn't see an 11 done again in that specific look. The most you'd see is an expansion pack, I still say that we'll see more 50th inspired things.
Really, thats my principle reason I don't think we'll see a Clara anytime soon. I just don't think it's a financially viable option right now for BC. They need to put out sure fire fan favorites.
In 5 inches, I would buy... 12 inches... hmmmmmm.... maybe a bit down the line once I have all my Doctors.

To expect anyone else other than Doctors, for while at least, is just incorrect thinking. I am ever the optimist when it comes to BCS, but even I saw the emphasis when they said '...lesson learned' when it comes to ancillary figures like Rory or even River.
Time moves on, people move on and so does the show. When the Amy figure was finally ready to move, Karen Gillan had already been off the show for a year. Potentially, the 'Amy Scenario' could be just as true of Jemma-Louise. Pixie is right in saying that BCS needs a string of sure fire hits as its next series of releases or (and this by their own recognition) they would be in real trouble.
Doctors all the way for a good while then I think. We have David Tennant's Doctor that sold out on PO, Tom's is ready for PO (this week we have been told...though it works better for me next week fellas!) and plans for the #1 Hartnell are underway so that all sounds just about right.

All the likeness permission problems and stuff aside, I think Rose would sell now or 5 years from now. Thats really the only recent companion I would even bother with if I were Big Chief. All the others are rather fleeting and probably wouldn't sell well enough to warrant any real muster.
Aside from the Doctors, I think bad guys will always sell and that's where I would go. Cybermen, Daleks and Weeping Angels.
From an economics point fo view you can create the molds for the Daleks and with slight tweeks here and there offer these for years producing many many varients.

Producing Daleks would be a license to basically print money.

Anything other than Doctors 1-4 & 9-11, or Daleks, is financial suicide. End of story.
I think 5-7 would make some of the most visually awesome figs.

Please don't lump 5 in with 6+7.
Agreed. 5 is great.
