Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Website still says both will be available in April, Have emailed to ask for clarification...no reply yet.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I've thought for a while that April was too soon. October was further out than I would have guessed, but everything we've heard from these guys suggests they want to do it right - so that makes sense.

Amy is still scheduled to ship the same time as the Doctor, or possibly just after in May, not October.

BBTS have started soliciting Amy way in advance and we have not yet supplied retailers with the full spec, so their listing is not correct.

There were absolutely NO photographs of the Tenth Doctor concept prototype from the show and the one pictured on this forum is certainly not the one that we had on display.

Facts not fiction!

Thanks BC. So when are we going to see 10...?

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Awesome. I knew that the 10 on display wasn't Marfa's (which is a great custom). But the picture was so tiny and I wasn't there in the flesh to see it so bringing that up would have been pointless. Kudos to BC for communicating with us.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I guess we're getting everything later, then, in the US? This is the info WhoNA is getting from their distributor:

Just solicited for the following Big Chief products:

11th Doctor 1/6 scale (due end July/beginning August 2012)
Amy 1/6 scale (due end October/beginning November 2012)
10th Doctor Vinyl toy (due end January/beginning February 2013)

Awesome. I knew that the 10 on display wasn't Marfa's (which is a great custom). But the picture was so tiny and I wasn't there in the flesh to see it so bringing that up would have been pointless. Kudos to BC for communicating with us.

I was confused as to why people were treating it as fact that the figure was Marfa's. Very odd.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Ah.. That timeline is ok with me. Too much awesomeness coming out at once. I was on the verge of canceling 89 Bats in favor of 11. But this news is very welcome. I was starting to suffocate under the lack of breathing room for Q1-Q2.

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

So that confirms that the 10th Doctor will be in his blue suit, which makes me happy.

If the 11th Doctor is hitting the UK in April, maybe BC will post pictures of the final production version of the figure later this month?

Especially considering that Marfa's has real hair which in turn made the head look larger than what was obviously on display at TF. Plus Marfa used the CO sculpt and it was obvious even with the grainy tiny pic that the head sculpt wasn't the same. Even the clothes fit different from Marfa's.. so I guess yay us!

Delighted to see big Chief communicating with it's potential customers. I do agree Hot Toys need to take note! Way to go BC!

Not sure where these retailers are getting their information, but the release dates are completly incorrect.

Both the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are scheduled to ship end April - mid-May. The Tenth Doctor Dynamix is also slated for the same shipping date.

On shelf date is normally 4-6 weeks after that.

We are checking with our distributors to ensure that the shipping dates they are giving out are accurate.

Wow. You're just so masterful!

... and that is the only way to communicate with Who fans, as Al Dewar found out to his cost.

From Sueworld back on page 200:

Mystery solved. Apparently thats just one of Marfa Isaman's brilliant customs that is on loan to help set the scene so to speak.

Since no one contradicted this post until Big Chief said something, I don't think there was any reason not to think it was one of Marfa's customs since no one else took credit for it. "One of" to me, suggests there might have been more than the one that showed here since Marfa hasn't posted anything new in a long time.

That's what I keep asking, but nothing so far.
