Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #09 Christopher Eccleston

[Captain Britain]

Great to see a photo of the figure at this stage, and I always love to see figures in everyday locations (if you can call Gregg's desk an everyday location!).

I'm a big fan of Gregg's tailoring and this is looking good. I reckon they could afford to make the shoulders a little wider. It also looks - based on this one photo alone - as if the collar could be thinner and the lapels could be pointing down rather than inward. But given how hard it must be to make a 1/6 scale leather jacket look good, it hangs pretty well. Looking forward to seeing more.

Considering how hard it is to imitate leather in 1/6, that is really impressive. It was the one thing I was worried about with the figure and they have done a nice job.

The sleeves do look a little short, and I hope they lengthen it, but that's an easy fix.

Particularly after poor Amy's jacket, I was a smidge worried. But this looks really great.

 

[DVD1]

Yup, great looking figure. He is minimalist to the extreme, and just ... OK, Fantastic. I really tried to look for another word!!

 

[GodParticle]

Clothes look great. There's still something off about the sculpt, though

Maybe face too thin and eyes a bit off. Still, not like I'm skipping him rofl

 

[VashDStampede]

Looking great! Like the majority of us fans, I'll be one of the first in line to order this whether or not they change the sculpt. I'm still holding on to the hope of a sculpt tweak, considering BC has been really good so far at trying to please collectors.

 

[davejames]

Agreed about that great looking jacket. The likeness still isn't working that well for me, but the figure as a whole does more than enough to capture the feel of the character anyway.

 

[Ex-Parrot]

Try as I might, and as much as I really want to, I just can't see much of Christopher Eccleston in that head sculpt. Looks more like a Ninth Doctor cosplayer to me.

 

[Doom Saber]

I would still say that's relatively "done by hand", at least compared to a scanning process like they've done with Capaldi and Matt.

That Matt Smith Time of the Doctor version was scanned? Wow!

 

[DioramaMaker]

That Matt Smith Time of the Doctor version was scanned? Wow!

The Capaldi sculpt is for sure, I'm fairly certain Matt was too. But I'm not 100% certain on that.

 

[murdomac]

Neck down looks good, sculpt is okish until you see it next to the photo then you see how far away it is in quite a few areas, going to be a 50/50 purchase for me at the moment.

 

[xequae]

My 10th Doctor Tardis is almost paid off, so I'm ready for him to go up. I think the sculpt looks great. Definitely close enough for me. Would really like to see Rose to go along with him.

 

[SAB]

Figure looks good.
Jacket looks surprisingly good.
Whole thing makes me sad he only did one season!

 

[GodParticle]

Yeah, I think 9th was my favorite of all the newer docs. Really bummed he wasn't a part of the 50th special

I belive its just a rumor for now. Last year that same website said she was gone and we saw her on season 8.

Not really relevant. Maybe you should post it in Doctor Who. After all, there is a thread dedicated to discussion of the TV show.

Hence why I put OT before. It kinda is relevant though, I'm sure many were hoping for a Jenna figure.

This figure has grown on me since these new pics emerged. And yes I do agree, wish that we'd gotten another series or two more with him as well.

Right, I should have posted it in the Jenna Coleman figure thread that doesn't exist. How dare I!
