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

Folks on Gallifrey Base are wondering if the signature editions are hand signed or laser printed. Good question, I'd say. Anyone know the answer to that?

I don't "know" the answer, but I'd assume they're hand signed. Kinda pointless if they're not.

I'm so undecided about Amy...she'd look great next to 11, but $250(AU) is a lot just for a companion.

I'd assume that as well. I seem to remember a picture of Matt actually signing the name plates himself but I can't seem to find it.

I think the bases are a stroke of genius on BC's part. I can't wait to see 10's base.

But I wonder how they will apply that to the classic figures. What will Tom's base be?

For classic Doctors, I think just a clean white with the roundel design would be classy.

Amy Pond looks great!

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

Thank you for that. Ok well... If you check Matt's signature plate HERE and HERE they are obviously not laser duplicates. So I assume that they are literally hand signed. Same for Amy as for Matt.

I think I might have to sleep on Amy...

We can confirm that both Matt Smith and Karen Gillan are indeed hand signing each plaque.

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

Thanks for the confirmation. I have spread the word.

Ordered Amy, gave it serious thought, and figured I'd like one Doctor complete with companions. I'll order tennant when he's available as well, but I'd rather have amy that martha or donna (though I'd buy Rose).

Really? I haven't seen any post that confirms that.

In an earlier post, Big Chief said "There were absolutely NO photographs of the Tenth Doctor concept prototype from the show." So even though they did not allow photos, one person did capture (accidentally?) the 10th Doctor figure prototype in the corner of a larger photo, which I cropped out and posted:

It was not a custom figure, as some people believed. And the suit is awesomely blue.

Is he not wearing his white trainers in that picture? If that were so I would say you may just be color blind because he only wore the brown suit with the white Chuck Taylors.

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

Oh, maybe just the lighting is making it look blue?

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

It's very dark but that certainly is not the brown stripped suit, who's to say big chief aren't mixing up his clothing for the stock figure, they would release the rest of his clothes in the clothing sets so you can make the figure truly accurate by pairing up the right shoes with the correct suit.

I would agree with you except that every dang 10 figure from 5 inch to 12 inch has been plagued with the problem of making the brown suit not look blue. The hue of brown from the suit coupled with the hue of the pin stripes create an optical illusion which, when scaled down to 1:6/1:13, makes the suit appear to be blue.

If that Tennant figure is in blue I'll eat my Fendahleen figure.

Really? ..that's interesting, I guess if it were the actual blue suit it would be much brighter and obviously blue.
