Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #13 Jodie Whittaker

[Drake]

Just received the email, so the link is active, but you can't pledge support for another three and a bit hours.

So potential accessories maybe two versions of the sonic (activated and not), the bum bag, alternate shirt, kerblam box (with fez?), maybe the Pting seeing it is so small, or the goggles from the first episode?

No bum bag or goggles, but I got the other guesses right, for once (also another go round for the psychic paper wallet, and a 'help me' delivery note)...

I thought the goggles would be in there as well.
Best deal is the free world wide shipping and the ex vat price of £199.00

 

[Drake]

Yeah, the free shipping saves me another thirty pounds, based on how much the others cost me, so that's nothing to be sniffed at.

What do people think the chances are that this - the signature edition - will be the only one made?

 

[DVD1]

And the price, that’s only £50 more than I paid for my last Hot Toys Leia figure!! Haha!!

BCS already stated a few pages back that it will be.

 

[yodasan]

Yes I saw that post but was unsure how to interpret the way they are using "edition" and "version":

"The Signature Edition is being signed by Jodie Whittaker.
The edition is 500 pieces worldwide.
This will be the ONLY version of the 13th Doctor."

If the Doctor gets a new outfit at some point, and sticks around for a couple more seasons at least, then who knows, they might revisit the character. But given both what bc they have publicly said, and past experience with other Doctor releases, I'd wager this will be it, certainly for this version of the Thirteenth Doctor in this outfit. At most, maybe they do a convention exclusive with a slightly different outfit, as they did with red jacket Capaldi and 50th Tennant, but given the new production model even that seems unlikely now, as I suspect they were mostly made as alternatives to help fill out the larger production runs. And those con exclusives were hard to get, and expensive, if you couldn't attend the convention in question anyway.

Honestly, I suspect if you want this version of the Doctor, then this is your best shot. And they've already hit 70 orders out of their apparent maximum of 500 during the first fifteen minutes, so it is off to a strong start.

Yeah that is one of the problems with Big Chief, their communications are rarely completely clear, hence why we often get so much confusion and misinformation based on supposition. They really need to work on getting all their information across in as clear and concise a way as possible, so that it leaves no room for (mis)interpretation whatsoever. I think that, and a bit more information and updating in general, would help them, and us, tremendously.

Alright placed my order. $230 shipped doesn't seem too bad, although I'll be shocked of this is actually available in November like they say. Maybe November 2020...

 

[thamesvalidude]

100 in the first hour. Good start!

 

[DVD1]

100 preorders in the first hour.

Note: I’m 8 hrs ahead .. haha!!

 

[Drake]

Hitting 20% of the proposed run within the first hour is a pretty impressive start. Hopefully it keeps powering along for a bit before the nigh on inevitable slowdown kicks in...

So does this only go forward if they meet the full 500? Would be a shame if they had to cancel because it fell 20 short or something.

I still haven't received my email. A pm with the link we would be awesome. :firstdate

 

[pixletwin]

Got it. Thank you guys!

 

[DVD1]

I reckon they should see close to 200 in the first 24 hours, then reach the half way point before the preorder opens up fully on the 4th.

My email hasn't arrived either. Would someone be kind enough to pm the link too? Thanks.

I bought it. Went full price pay - free worldwide shipping was the kicker. That charge will hurt a bit though
