Same as the last poll, but with Villains!

Choose which ones you'd like to see in 2014/2015
 
Personally, I'd think a Simm End of Time Master is a logical option to go with to go with the End of Time Doctor we've gotten. It'd be a great figure, in my opinion. Looking at the Holograph Doctor, imagine a transparant headsculpt with the painted skull inside.
 
Sims would be more attractive to me as a figure if they did his Last of the Time Lords suit AND his End of Time get-up, and offered three heads - sleek for suited, blonde for End of Time and the skull head. That'd be pretty cool.
 
I'm torn on Daleks. I really like my RC CO ones. I know they are out of scale, and I'm sure BCS would do a beautiful rendition of them and would probably sell a ton... but I'd much rather get to the Delgado Master sooner than later, for instance.
 
Daleks & Cybermen present you with the dilemma of which version to make. Gimme a Silent and an Ainley Master. Can you imagine that outfit done as well as Tennant's suit?

Except I wouldn't want any of these but I'd like a fourth and fifth head - Simm from Utopia in that waistcoat and an alternate Derek Jacobi Yana/ Master head.

Basically, I think BCS would be mad to do anything other than a new series bronze Dalek, followed by Classic daleks.

I also think they should NOT go the high end route - no electronics or anything, just make it 1/6 scale and get 'em out for £84.99 or something so people can army build if they want to.

They could do so much with Daleks, starter versions as you suggest (but cheaper), full opening-Dalek-inside versions, top end electronic versions, modular upgradeable versions etc etc I think at this stage almost any well priced in scale Dalek woud sell like hot cakes and would be an ongoing cash cow for BCS, seems like a no-brainer to me.
 
If they did a bronze Dalek, I'd really like it to open up and reveal the mutant underneath (or have a swappable central cavity to allow this.) I think, at this price point and level you have to go big or go home. Just producing a big 1:6 Dalek would not be as successful, at this point. Not for $200+ dollars.

Now, if they did more classic Daleks, I think you have some more leeway, there.

Sure, I wouldn't disagree with that either. I guess for me what I really want is for my CO 12" figures - which will shortly have a great Tenth Doctor to be completed by a 1/6 Dalek and I'm not too bothered by what it does (as long as it has wheels!).

That said, daleks would be a gold mine for BC, especially if they 'go big' as you suggest. For one thing, almost all Classic daleks apart from the earliest ones can reuse pretty much the same mould, with a few minor differences in the slats. Ditto then with the electronics. As far as electronics go they could spend thousands on designing their own or they could copy CO's designs (just as CO's dalek electronics apparently closely resemble those of the Product Enterprise daleks!) albeit scaled down (but actually, aren't the PE movie daleks more or less in 1/6 scale?).

Daleks are a licence to print money, people collect them who don't collect any other Doctor Who stuff. As far as the nuWho bronze daleks go, these also come in numerous flavours - bronze, black, black domed and with various attachments for emperor guards etc.

The third kind of dalek requiring a new mould are the early daleks seen in the first two serials and in the movies. Well, there you go - if they could get a licence for the movies too, then to quote William Hartnell, their arses would be in butter. They could even add a Peter Cushing figure eventually which would melt the internet.

Doctors and daleks are a recipe for success, anything else, not so much. Although it would be interesting to see them try out the old Product Enterprise idea of making monster costumes for 1/6 figures and putting them on 1/6 bodies, exactly like the monsters themselves were made - as rubber suits. But I reckon they should park that for a good few years, along with anything else that might appeal to fans (like Masters and companions). What they should concentrate on (IMHO) is Doctors 1-4 & 9, a new blue suit 10, maybe a new 11, definitely a Capaldi figure, and lots and lots of daleks.
 
I'd only buy three Daleks, maybe four. Classic, bronze and Smith era. I might get a Special Weapons Dalek if they ever make one.

I'm not sure if I'd want a Dalek with a lot of gimmicks. Only thing I'd like is the bronze Dalek to include a 2nd "head" you could say of Dalek Caan.
 
It has to be the Master and i mean The Master, Roger Delgado. If they do Daleks and i'm almost certain they will sooner or later, they couldn't do any worse than those from Remembrance of the Daleks.
