Why would BC choose such a distributor with a reputation like that? Even BBTS has a better rep than that.

So who wants to call Diamond and ask?

I nominate you pixletwin.

I am sure from talkking to the lads at BCS, they have done what they thought was best for the figure to give it more world exposure.

I am certain that they did not want anyoone to have to wait for long.

I really hope they add a sculpted neck to 10.

Yeah, what Diamond lacks in speed they make up for in ubiquity. It's too bad Underground Toys couldn't have done it though.

I want all of them, so no cravings for any in particular . Happy to get them in any order.

+1

If I could get all eleven Doctors on my shelf in the next few years that would be the grail to end all grails for me. I really don't care about the order, as long as the quality is maintained and we get them all eventually I'll be (very) happy.

I just wanna get my hands on Amy.


And then the figure!

Me too.

Me too.

I am sure that the guys are just finalising the last minute details to get the PO for 10 all set and ready to go. It's going to be a killer figure.

It's a shame that AMY has caused them so many problems, it's a brave move to essentially "go back to formula" on a figure with this franchise's ultra high profile (threw in a SPIDERMAN quote there ) spotlight on it.

Such is their commitment to getting it right. I trust these guys. Have spoken to them face-to-face and seen and heard their enthusiasm first hand...the delays may be annoying but all it really means that there will be an even more well done figure at release, because of it.

So when you spoke to them Daron, are they confident of getting Amy out by December? That was the date on the little card in front of the figure. Is it just the body they are adjusting in "going back to formula"lol) or a more general readjustment i.e. sculpt hair etc?

Going a little OT (just for a change), Matt Smith will be at the Entertainment and Media Show at Olympia next Saturday, for any who want to add another autograph to their collection (although they are charging £35 for their autographs. See what a bargain you got with Big Chief? You do get it handed over by the man himself, though. Worth a few bob in itself, that).

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

The card read "TBA" and they could not give me a date sadly. They have had to re-source the body totally from scratch. I am not certain if that means reworking the tailoring, but it may have done.

They are aware of the failings of the face sculpt so that is in hand too. As for release date, that too is still undecided.

But it's like I have been saying, these guys are good, and they are on it.

I'm glad to hear the sculpt isn't locked. She could stand a little attitude.

Indeed. And I'd certainly be happy to buy an improved version, but no way I'm laying down cash for what has been seen thus far, as I personally just don't like it nearly enough given the high end price point of these pieces.

Regardless of whether I end up buying Amy or not, I salute their dedication, and wish them the best with it.

I thought I'd post here, in case they still read this thread.
I'm having a little trouble with Big Chief.

I paid for the Dr. Who action figure 8/14. It arrived 8/27 missing an accessory, the "consciousness cube." I wrote to Big Chief. Mark replied and promised to send a consciousness cube. I haven't received it. On 9/16 I wrote and told them I still hadn't seen the replacement. On 9/18 Mark replied and said that it had been sent 9/4, and that they would send another if it didn't show by end of week.

They haven't yet replied to any of 3 emails since, and nothing has shown up.

So, 3 days ago, on the very last day I was able to, I opened a PayPal resolution case. I haven't asked for my money. I don't want a refund. I want them to have my money. I just want a consciousness cube. I'm not trying to scam them. This is not some secret plot to have a half-dozen consciousness cubes. I just want to have one!

I guess if they still don't reply once it's been a week since I started the PayPal resolution I'll have to escalate it, but I REALLY don't want to do that. Those of you who've been following this thread know that I've been one of their biggest cheerleaders!
