I would really like it if they were to be released no later than Q1 of 2014.

 

[ShadowX81]

Wouldn't we all.

 

[Lumos]

I don't mind if they come out in time for Christmas. Then I can get one or two as Christmas gifts.

Guys, do you know if this company ships overseas? I want my Sherlock!

Yop, they do, ordered 11 from them and had it shipped to Canada.

Thx! Just one more question, what about taxes?

 

[roguebaron]

I pay the taxes as it crosses the border into Canada, not sure how that works in Mexico, it's usually billed by ups or FedEx, whichever ends up doing the brokerage into the country.

You are so kind! thank you!

Does a July pre-order really make sense, or should they time it to coincide with Series 3?

Some awesome Sherlock news popped up in the Amy Pond thread. I've highlighted the relevant bit:

Dear all,
We wanted to say thank you for your support and kind words. We also appreciate your frank and honest critiques.
There comes a time for any company to have to hold their hands up and apologise when things do not go as planned. Needless to say "Pondgate" was not our finest hour, made all the worse by being our second offering.
We have read several times that we must have "taken a bath on this figure". More like a hosing down with a fireman's hose!
For those none-Facebookers, the alternate head with sculpted hair will be available around August. We will make an announcement nearer the time, so please do not worry you will receive your free portraits.
As some small consolation we can confirm that the edition size has been reduced from the originally advertised 2000 to 900, so your figures will actually be all the rarer. We do not plan on making any more of this figure. We may well offer costume and accessory packs next year, but cannot confirm anything right now. We know how fond of kiss-a-gram Amy everyone is. For the record we had little say in the chosen costume from series 6. Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing...
However, throughout the process we have continued to work on not only the 10th Doctor, but also the 4th Doctor, which will be made available for pre-order when the new website goes live. We have targeted the end of June, but there is a lot of work to do, to get the entire ecommerce back end constructed, together with layaway payments. We will keep you all posted.
In addition to the aforementioned Doctors, we also have started work on the 1st Doctor and have a great sculpt in progress. We are also busily working on both Sherlock and Watson. The costumes are well underway, as are the accessories and we have submitted pack art for approval.
We will be making an official announcement shortly, but we wanted you guys to hear it first - we will have Signature Editions for our Sherlock figures!
The future is looking much brighter and we cannot wait to share what we have been working on with you.
We are working very hard to ensure that every product is up to the standard that collectors demand.
Thanks again for believing in us
The BIG Chief Team

What comes with the signature edition, besides a plaque?

 

[JonWes]

Nothing, usually. Just a plaque with a signature. They really haven't appealed to me, in the past, to be honest. But I'm excited so much progress is being made on the figures!

 

[The Eleventh]

I was planning on sticking with only their Doctor Who line, but I could be tempted if these turn out well. It'd be hard to buy Sherlock without Watson, yet that would cost me a considerable amount.

 

[iMan]

Are there painted pictures of the sculpts yet? So far, I have only seen the grey ones.

Thanks.

 

[JonWes]

There were painted sculpt pics, and they looked good... don't see the pictures now, though.

 

[Captain Britain]

Still hoping against hope the accessories include little Perspex blocks with words inside them...

 

[amalak]

Just discovered this series and now I need these figures haha. Is it possible to preorder them yet?

No, not quite yet. But BCS say that progress is going well and reaching the tooling stage, so it's all looking good.

 

[iMan]

Painted HS pic for those who haven't seen it.

just finished S02E03 last night. I love the show, can't wait until Series 3.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I believe those were posted a while back. Just ordered the Blu Ray set of both seasons so the wife and I can watch them again. It's too long til the next one comes out!

Can't wait to see the final prototypes. They're supposed to be at SDCC, aren't they? Or at lease fully revealed around that time?
