I hope he comes with the fez and stetson!
Not exactly capturing the zeitgeist though is it. Surely a Dalek that is relevant to Matts Doctor makes most sense.
I'm one of the few that liked the Benetton Daleks anyway.
True enough, I'm just concerned that the Classic era is going to get one or two token releases and that'll be it.
The figures of 11, Amy and other Nu-Who characters could be some of the best 1:6 scale releases ever but I still wouldn't buy them because the modern era has no intrest for me.
The 50th Anniversary is just round the corner so with that in mind I think the first 26 year run of the show deserves it's share of attention.
(and lets face it BCM, for all your loathing of NuWho it is doing rather well the other side of the Amy Pond... sorry, bad pun), that figs of Smith and Tennant will prove more profitable for a new company.
The sad (but understandable) problem is that if all the people who just want classic Who don't support the early figures, then I would imagine it would be very doubtful the classics would follow.
But why would I pay high end prices for characters I couldn't give a damn about?
If money was no problem then I could do it but that's not the case so if I'm paying that sort of cash for something I have to be 100% certain I'm going to like it....I don't dislike the 11th Doctor I still wouldn't want to pay high end prices for a figure of him and the only place I'd display figures of Amy, Rory and River is in a garbage bin.
I think most real Nu-Who-Only fans are 13-15 year olds and I do not expect a lot of their parents to pay 100+ for a doll.

I think most Nu-Who-Only fans are Americans, because the Nu-Who has been readily available for viewing in the U.S. since the re-launch, thanks to cable television. In the era in which Classic Who was produced, Americans couldn't see it.

B- 'Genre' television is appealing to much wider audiences these days, we had a new series of the spin off series Torchwood start last night in the UK, and its very much aimed at a young adult/adult audience.
And for some people, its a chore to have to constnantly make ecscuses for the program you are watching just to enjoy it. Most people like to simply sit back and clear thier mind while watching something. And these same crappy effects and wobbly sets continue to take the viewer out of the program. You can explain it all you want, but alot of people today just don't find that enjoyable.With Classic Who you have to look past the wobbly sets, dodgy rubber monsters and alien planets that were filmed in the same quarry and try and understand it was a different way of making TV and that stories had to be more dialogue oriented because they couldn't distract the audience's attention with a flashy effects driven sequence the way they do now.
In the current era of "event TV" it's no wonder that Americans have been so enthusiastic about Nu-Who and Torchwood because it's so similar in appearance to shows that originate in the US.
This is exactly the reason why 11 and 10 will be first.As far as figures go I also think there's a degree of ignorance over how easy ( or not ) it is for people to pay for things. I get the impression that some high end collectors seem to assume that everyone has endless resources to throw at their hobbies so they can support selected lines 100% even if they aren't characters they particularly want and that's just ridiculous.
Im not quite sure why you oppose the release of 10 so much. He is very likely to sell well
I've watched it (Hurrah digital television!) and I found it rather interesting, though I think Doctor Who is a little more... aimed for young adults than Torchwood: Miracle Day. I think Torchwood is aimed at age 15-18 whereas Doctor Who is aimed at 16-25. But that's just my opinion.
