I find that with this hobby, you pre-order, don't see anything for absolutely ages...then you get a whole bunch of figures really close together!
I hope TA is getting this. I really want that Time War book accessory.

Paid off Clara, I was more than a little shocked that I ordered her back in March 2016
I actually have no orders from BCS. They went from the company I was ordering the most from to one that'll I'll probably not order from again since SSC is started to carry their stuff. Weird.

Working out really well for me. I ordered all this stuff via my dad in the UK, which was fine. Last year I found they ship out to Shanghai, so all my shipping addresses were amended. This adjusted al my costs, creating overspends, and these all covered the postage out here. Yay!!
Just got the email that they'll be shipping mine tomorrow and it'll arrive on Thursday.
That’s good to hear. I just checked, and mine is still pending. Rose is clearing at customs, with an expected delivery of Wednesday. I’d say reality is more likely Friday.
If my Clara can be sent out tomorrow I’ll have it next Friday.

Mine just arrived, she has turned out pretty nice. My only (minor) gripe is that the hands appear to be a slightly different shade to the rest of the body but apart from that she is a really nice addition to the collection! I'll try and take some better pics later with my actual camera, but here she is straight out of the box, so you can see how she has turned out...

She looks old and blind. Way too tan as well. Still incapable of doing quality eyes I see.
Yeah she's in dire need of a repaint, but I was kind of expecting that would be the case anyway. I'm just happy to see the underlying sculpt turned out well, and didn't get squished or deformed in some way during production, which was my biggest fear the last two years.
Should be getting mine in a couple hours, so I'll try to post some pics too.

Just a couple quick pics of mine. And I gotta say I'm extremely happy and relieved with how damn good it looks. Other than the eyes, the paint job on the head looks perfectly fine to me. Although I might need to hit it with a bit of dullcoat to bring down the slight glossiness. The hands are clearly too pale, but that can be easily fixed. The outfit seems to be really well-tailored as well.

Nice shots
....looks like a definite step up from Rose..
Yeah I do see some obvious mold lines on the hair now, but it's still thankfully no where as bad or cheap looking as with Rose.

Those eyes make her look like she's been on the crack pipe, hopefully that's not as noticeable in hand...
The eyes are the biggest weakness BCS has going with every figure.
I got mine today, basically I agree with every other comment I’ve read here. The outfit is great.
The sculpt is definitely Jenna Coleman... though her eyes seem to have bags and crows feet that make her look as if she’s in her 40’s.
As I did expect, her skin is too shiny and her eyes are pale and lifeless. I think I have enough skill to fix this though. A matte sealer for the face and a bit of dark glossy brown paint for the eyes should do the trick.
I will add that the head seems partially fused to the rubber neck, which dashed my hopes of swapping it to a seamless body without some risky ‘surgery’.
She also, to me at least, seems to tall. Does anybody else think so?
In spite of all the problems, I really like the figure... I just wish it was about $50 cheaper!
