I must admit, I was instantly drawn to Tennant!!

I think ToyHQ maybe meeting with BC, I tell him to take more pics!!

I'm very, very curious now about how the final Amy pans out. Female figures and sculpts are notoriously difficult to pull off, and the proto looks pretty good to me - a little shallow, but so did 11 until I got him. I really like the character of Amy so I'm now wondering how strong the pull will be for me to buy this figure!

BC, please show Sherlock soon!

Oh - and I'm not going to get into an argument about this, but I support expansion packs 100%. I simply don't believe there is anything exploitative about them, they are all about giving us options, and could only have been developed by guys who think like us.

They are what we want, from people who have also wanted what we want and are giving it to us!!!!!!!!

I'm hopeful about Amy, but still a little concerned. Her face looked fat in the photos! Big Chief is earning a lot of faith with me though, so I'm hoping for the best.

Plus it seems that the expansion packs might be different from the original plans, so we still don't know exactly how they will be organized. I'm sure we will get more info from BC soon. I am wondering if the expansion packs will be distributed in the US the same way as the figures? Our store is committed to carrying all of the figures, but the expansion packs are still a mystery.

I'm starting to wonder if they've pulled back a bit on the packs too. Partially because of the distance of the episodes to the time of release, I wonder if they'll collapse the planned packs into one per episode and lose some of the planned items. But they might just only be showing what's been prepared so far too.

Maybe, but maybe not. The pictures show 3 variant 10s.... Fez, Stetson, and Ganger....

Have there been any ganger close ups released?

I'd be sad if they scrapped the name-tag toystore outfit. It was by far one of my favorite episodes (everything Craig related has been amazing, especially The Lodger) and I'd love if they made this into a sculpt, along with remote control.

And for good measure:

The cyber-mats were supposed to go with that one, right? Well, we've seen pictures of the cyber-mats....

Yeah, early on. I think they were on their FB page, and a doctor who site showed them. It looked quite excellent.

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

I'm waiting for that one person who is has a high enough insanity level to chop both a normal and a Ganger head in two, glue two halves of each together and call it Matt "Two-Face" Smith.

I'm also wishing they'd make a promotional Matt Smith outfit set as seen in the TARDIS concept art here:

And I'd like this aswell:

Plus that one outfit he's wearing in those pictures with that new companion.

Thanks, i'm sure they did!

Looking at that photo and clip a couple of posts back I'd love it if BC did a strictly limited edition 'bonkers expression' head for Eleven that broke ALL the rules of Head Sculpts as we've come to accept them - you know, neutral expression, eyes focussing on something in the middle distance - and did one with mad staring eyes and his mouth hanging open. Something that looks like the sculptor was drunk when he selected the reference shot! I reckon it would capture one aspect of the character really well.

Well, they could've gone with this..

Plus he had the hat when he was investigating at Craig's.. which could be another headsculpt with an eyepiece.

And then they could give him a fishing net..

I've got about a million ideas for expansion packs by now.

Matt Smith/The Doctor is a person that's very expressive, especially with the eyebrows and mouth. He's ideal for headsculpts up the behind.

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

That's why I love the expansion pack idea. It'd be cool to maybe have one other Matt for permanent display, but over the next however many years I am alive and have this figure it'd be cool to change him up from time to time.

I do like the long gray coat, even though we've not seen it in action yet.

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

What about interchangeable faces, sort of like the HT Batman mouths.
I think that'd be neat, you can make your Doctor go from "Care to a jelly baby?" to "..Out of Ten? Eleven."

Whatever happens to the packs. I trust BCS will make us all happy.

What's the cheapest route for getting Eleven right now?

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

Well they sure aren't HT standard, but as I said in my review they are very noticeable when blown up 500%, but in hand it looks fine. The hands on future releases could definitely do with being made of a less soft and rubbery material, and perhaps some paint detailing would help. But the accessories (considering the scale) look pretty good on the whole.

At the price, HT standard would be nice. Hands that aren't noticeably "yucky" would be expected.

Fly to england and break into Big Chief Studios. (and bring me back one too!)

I would, but I bet they totally have Dalekanian security systems. And Cyberman secretaries.

"Billy, Cancel my 3 o'clock appointment, please"

"DELETE-DELETE"

"And copy my notes into a letter, quick as you can"

"THEY WILL BE CONVERTED IMMEDIATELY"

Hmmmm, I just figured they were in the center of a black hole.

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

Notice how we all stopped complaining about the price once we actually got them in hand.
