Character Doctor Who 5" figures

[Memnoch]

I dunno about the rehashes as things play differently in different areas. Plus this is a kids line first and collectors line second. Just like Hasbro constantly releases a Vader and such CO will do the same thing. I'm just annoyed at how hard it is to get a Cyberman without the damn gun arm.

I would add the burnt up and decomposing Master from The Deadly Assasin (one of my favorite Dr. Who episodes of all time).

Good choice,I think all incarnations of The Master should get released in a box set as it would mirror the inevitable set of all 10 Doctors that Character Options are likely to release once they've got the rights to make the first 3.

So the question is: do we buy now or when they release the whole she-bang?

 

[Memnoch]

Buy now so that they are sure to DO the first 3.

Good point. Which reminds me, I need to find the 9th Doctor somewhere...

 

[Memnoch]

The Neutral 9th? Best bet would be the UK eBay. I've been grabbing things fairly well. Also other options are whoblackpool.com or even Forbidden Planet. Who Blackpool has a flat International Shipping rate but are more of a collector store whereas Forbidden Planet is sort of like Entertainment Earth in that they are retail but take their sweet time with no international shipping quotes available. Basically you are biting the bullet there.

That's what I'll be doing. I think the reason why Character Options have said they aren't yet planning any Classic companions is because they want to see how popular the first waves of Doctors & monsters are before moving onto secondary characters so I'll be doing my bit and ordering the first waves as soon as Forbidden Planet get them on their site.

 

[Memnoch]

Good man! I'll be buying everything I can so I get my Romana II from Destiny of the Daleks.

 

[pixletwin]

Which Tom Baker was being made again? Original or Crispy (ie red jacket, knickers and scarf). I would love a Romana... I would love to see Romana again in the new series but I assume she was killed in the Time Wars (assuming she escaped from e-space).

Fourth Doctor will be from Revenge of the Cybermen.

Yeah,and he'll come with a choice of heads,1 with a hat and 1 without though I'm not sure whether the expressions will be different. The Fourth Doctor is my favorite so I'm hugely looking forward to seeing how it turns out and hope the sculpt is good.

Me too. I can't wait... and for some reason I am really hankering for Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan.

 

[Memnoch]

Do you know what killed the Dinosaurs? ... Adric does

I love that episode.

An Earthshock 4-pack with those 3 plus the 5th Doctor would be nice to see.
Another item I'd like to see is a Classic Alien Environment playset.
It'd look strangely like a quarry and you could swap sections of it around to instantly create a whole new world lol!

Any plans to make The Captain from "The Pirate Planet"? I would love to get that guy in any format.

None yet as far as I know but Character Options have shown they are willing to make all kinds of secondary characters with the Nu-Who line so providing the early waves of the Classics do well enough there's a decent chance of one being made.

After some searching around various sites I managed to find a bit of info about new stuff that's been shown at the UK Toy Fair which is going on at the moment,

Sadly there's no pics as anyone going into the room where Character Options had the new figures on display had to sign a non disclosure agreement and couldn't take any pics,presumably because the BBC don't want any details of series 4 to be revealed though the reporter from the site where I got this info from said the only series 4 figures shown were ones that are widely known to be in the series anyway. Wave 1 of the Classics was on display and the reporter said at least one of the Classic Doctor sculpts is "worth raving about" but he couldn't say any more than that. GetRetro had a Weevil from the Torchwood line on show and the good news is that the scale and quality are identical to Character Options so that's the biggest concern I had about those figures out of the way. The other thing I found out was that the Valiant set will consist of The Master,Lucy Saxon,The Doctor & Martha.

Is it just me or are the posts from yesterday gone? I KNOW I posted that I got 3 of the Weeping Angels coming. I posted it sometime after Pix said his FC Tardis set was shipped to him...
