Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

Agreed. I smell production delays.

Still, just as long as the piece is the best it can be when it hits, I'll happily wait a while longer if that is what it takes to make it so.

I agree. I want it in May or October. But they should give us an update at this point either way.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

Let's have an update- complete transparency is always the best policy.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

I'd be fine with a delay, anything from May onwards is better than April.

I feel the same. The July ETA some sites are giving out is AOK with me.

Hi to you all,
The past few weeks have been busy for us, hence the "radio silence". Apologies if you thought we were ignoring you.
The shipping date that we announced was the date we were given by our vendors to ship out of China, therefore we would expect the stock to arrive roughly 4 weeks later by sea, so the end of May.
There has been a slight delay with the tooling for the female figure's arms which is currently being rectified. As both figures are being shipped together, this will of course also delay the Doctor too.
However, we do not want to keep you guys waiting any longer for the figures and so we are planning to fly in a quantity of stock to cover the Signature Edition and Limited Edition orders that we have sold direct via our website. We expect to have this stock around the end of May / early June.
The balance of the stock currently being manufactured will follow by sea and so will arrive later around mid-July.
We will keep you posted of course.
Stay tuned for a look at the pre-production samples coming soon...
Thanks
The BIG Chief Team

Once again, thanks Big Chief, for a splendid, open informative attitude that goes way beyond the industry norm. I think you will find that our loyalty as customers is strengthened by such clarity! We don't mind the delay (as long as quality is good) as long as we have some idea about when the product will actually arrive. Well done guys!:clap:clap:clap

Yeah. Doesn't bug me. I'd rather have a delay than a figure with a faulty body.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

Make it early June! There's a chance it would come for my birthday!

Can't really fault Big Cheif's customer service. Always responding, and quickly.

Thanks for the update. I don't mind the wait, but you may be worrying too much about shipping them together.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

Not sure I get why 11 and Amy have to ship together. I don't think anyone would have minded 11 coming first like he was supposed to originally. Maybe it's cheaper from a shipping standpoint for BC? One shipment instead of two...

Ditto that. I don't plan on getting them at the same time, so why ship them at the same time? Why let production hold ups on Amy delay the momentum of the line by delaying Eleven's release? Doesn't make sense to me. Not unless shipping them together was some cost-cutting measure. :dunno

I know it's annoying, but then again I don't see hundreds of other companies waiting with bated breath to jump in and produce Doctor Who 1/6 figures... if BC are having to ship both to save costs then I guess we should continue to support them with understanding and goodwill, because better late with these figures than never - and if it wasn't BC I'm willing to bet it would be never. For a small company shipping from the east might be a major expense.

If they're not here by Christmas, then I'll have a few things to say...

Yeah I basically agree with everything you said. Patience is a virtue. :hi5:

In case BC haven't heard, Karen is now officially on twitter and has gained 60,000 followers since yesterday...maybe you should ask her to post a pic of her doll?

Well, when she comes to sign the signature edition they should definitely have her tweet about it and post a pic.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

I don't mind waiting for the two too ship together, I've ordered both signature editions and anything that might save me a bit on shipping from the UK would be welcome.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

I've got a bunch of figures so combined shipping is the way to go for me aswell.

Not only do I dig her but also dig her Twitter Avatar as well. :D
