Chris Howes custom Doctor Who sculpts

[Gruff Old Bear]

That's Andrew Teal's sculpt, which was going to be a 1:6 action figure from Product Enterprise before it was bought. The photo is of the statue that's being released instead. $229, and supposed to come out this month.

I'll wait for Chris' version.

According to the last official e-mail I got before Christmas from Product Enterprise or Sixteen 12 Collectibles as they are now calling themselves their Classic Who statue line was "under review" and as I've heard nothing since I'd assume that it's been shelved indefinitely.

If this is the case it's a shame as that's the second time that Andrew Teal's "smiling" Tom Baker sculpt has been denied a release but having seen how good a job Chris has done with the Sarah Jane sculpt I'm confident that his Tom Baker will kick ass!

bcm, couldn't agree more. Chris has already pinned the Sarah, hell he really captured the look in the eyes even unpainted, NOW THAT'S TALENT (Chris, keep the ego in check)

Just wanted to post a couple shots of that one as I like the expression. To bad Product Enterprises dropped the Baker, I had a pre-order in for it

I also had the statue on pre-order and it sucks that it seems destined never to be released as the sculpt is wonderful but the 5" Character Options figure has much the same likeness on one of it's headsculpts as it was also sculpted by Andrew Teal so I won't miss the statue that much.

And thanks to the various talented Who fans I've gotten to know here I'll also have 2 or 3 fully poseable 1:6 scale 4th Doctor customs in the near future which has to be better than any statue could ever hope to be!

hello ...to one and all .... NOW who do i have to kill mame or rip to shreads to ..GET my name on the list for the 4th DR who hatless tom baker and sara jane head list ..i WANT 1 of each ???? !!!! WELL !!!

[edojoe49]

oh and where do i send my money too ????

 

[knucklefunger]

bcm - the folks here on SSF forums are amazing, helpful, supportive..... I could go on forever.
Choked that the Product enterprises never saw the light of day, but I honestly think everyone involved in these customs are going to have brilliant one of a kind pieces in their collections instead of some mass produced stuff. Always seems like the big producers show images of incredible works then the actual production pieces seem a little underwhelming

we are all pretty lucky

Hey Guys! Vikki sent me her new outfit for Sarah Jane so I'll shoot some photos this weekend of the revised Sarah Jane in this really nice new outfit. It's a bit more modest.....

I agree totally about the quality of these customs. I quit collecting Sideshow figures because of their continual failure to follow through on great protos so it'll be awesome to see the various Doctor Who figures complete and on my shelves as they'll be better than many official 1:6 products from numerous licenses.

Not being official also means they aren't subjected to BS like Lucasfilm's insistence on idealised likenesses or Character Options retarded policy on making certain types of character,no company would ever offer a choice of sound clip for K9 and especially one that featured Tom Baker swearing!

Chris, here's some shots of a Tom Baker I think (not 100%) from Product Enteprises. Anyway, love the facial expression.

Oh I love the look of this! It's the first clear images that I've seen of this one. What ashame that they never went through with the 12" figure. Looking at this it would have been wonderful. I'm particularly impressed with the profile for some reason.

The only niggling thing for me is I get rather tired of these manic expressions. I personally prefer 'sombre' Tom. Something along the lines of this bust sculpt that a friend of mine did a few years ago. I really like the expression that he got on that.



Click on the image to enlarge, then click again on the second to see the full size version. Sorry for the dirt on it, but it's been housed in the garden for an age. *g*

You should like the sculpt Chris is doing then as the expression is not going to be a grinning one.
BillyB has also done 2 excellent sculpts of Tom with a neutral expression,( 1 with a hat and 1 without ) and Ada's one from the earlier commission is OK as well so there's quite a few to choose from with that type of look.

A second take on Tom from Chris has also been discussed earlier in this thread and I'd either like a grinning version or the expression he did whenever he said "Shhhh!" which he did quite a lot.

As great as Billy's sculpts were I personally didn't feel to be quite as good as the one above, but then as that was done by a professional portrait sculptor it's hardly a fair comparison. Thats why I'm looking forward to seeing what Chris comes up with.

The only problem with BillyB's sculpt is that photos don't do it justice. You really have to see them both (with hat and w/o hat). In person, they look just like Tom Baker. I've taken photos of mine and I cannot capture it successfully on camera.
