Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #11 Matt Smith in Series 7 costume

[spiderbo]

Anybody want to sale me one of these guys. I'm in the states.

 

[DVD1]

Big Chief will sell to the States without any problem.

 

[spiderbo]

Oh crap, really. Do they take PayPal that you know?

 

[DVD1]

Yup. That's how I pay.

They do a payment plan, and yes they do sell direct to the States. I'm not sure if you can do a payment plan once something is in stock, though.
Also, they have worked out a deal with a US distributor again so their figures should be appearing locally. But BCS does have exclusives as incentives to buy direct.

 

[spiderbo]

I wonder if I pay today how long it'll take to get to me.

 

[JonWes]

From there to the US it usually takes one day after they ship it.

 

[spiderbo]

Any body know when this jacket is coming out?

 

[JonWes]

The jacket comes with the 11th Doctor's TARDIS. I wouldn't be too surprised if some people put it up for sale on Ebay, though.

 

[spiderbo]

Thanks for all the Info guys. Very very helpful.

The Doctor arrived this afternoon. Paid Friday, shipped yesterday (Tuesday) and arrived today. I don't know why others have been held up. Also, I was supplied with a working DHL tracking number.

If the sculpt and tailoring quality on 11 7b is anything to go by, I can't wait for BCS to make the 7th Doctor (if they make one, that is) further down the line. Time to scratch one of the wishlist.

 

[spiderbo]

Awesome. I can't wait. Ordered mine about 2 hours ago.

Wow, that's impressive! Congrats!!

Anyway I got a reply back from BCS today after emailing them yesterday...turns out there was some kind of mix-up which they are now sorting out for me so hopefully I should get my figure soon!

 

[TheMajor]

I hope you get that sorted out. The wait will be worth it, though. It's odd how some have had straight deliveries, while other have gone on world tours. Fingers crossed that BCS can sort this out before the 12 Doctor releases later in the year,

 

[Liz10]

Just emailed them, seems like they forgot me...

Same here. They said they didn't know what happened with mine but are investigating with the shipping department and it will be shipped out today or tomorrow so that's good. I emailed them on the weekend so about 3 days repose time. Not great but not bad, I suppose. They're customer service probably get hit pretty bad each time a new figure releases and that understandable. I've had longer waits from Sideshow. Hopefully Matt will be here Friday!

I'm trying an alternate pair of trousers for Twelve. I think the cut is better although the color is maybe a bit bright even for his new (one of his new) series 9 looks. If I decide to use these I'll give them a quick dip in a darker blue dye. I'm also just about to order the Wild Toys zippered hoodie because I suspect it will be a a better fit with a more to scale zipper than the one I'm using.

In terms of the stock sculpt needing a repaint, well, almost any stock sculpt will look better if it's repainted by someone who knows what they're doing and I'm sure we'll start to see some repaints soon. My main problem with the paint is the eyeline. It's very hard to make Twelve look like he's looking at something that's not either straight ahead or up in the sky off in the distance and it's pretty annoying when you're trying to take pictures of him looking at something in any other direction.

 

[captainjamesbrooke]

Those trousers are good mate, can I ask where you got them?
He's looking very 12. You are right on the hoddie zipper, the wild toys one is better, I have the Hot Toys Stark mechanic on mine which is good too

 

[Captain Britain]

Just out of interest - what is that smell when you open the box? Glue or paint? Never known anything like it!

 

[TheMajor]

Can't say that I noticed any smell on mine. It may have dissipated since I opened the box, I will open the box again, and see if I can smell anything.
