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

No matter who BC is making, I'm almost positive it's always gonna be a homerun and I could easily see this as a Hot Toys replacement (at least for me).
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Agreed, HotToys does some amazing figures but I usually only get bits and pieces from them.
These, I would buy whole, in-box.
I do love the way HotToys handles their heads but I'm not opposed to what we're seeing here.
I wonder if we'll be seeing a 1:6th K9? ;)
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I want 2 K9's, a clean undamaged one from the 4th Doctor era, and an old, rusty and scratchy one from the 10th Doctor era.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Yes. Best one out there. It throws the MFX one in the water easily.

Cool. I've been seriously toying with getting one of those myself for quite some time now, but I didn't know anyone who actually had taken the plunge, and it is a lot of money to just 'roll the dice' with, so that kept be a bit hesitant.

So, are they worthwhile getting for the hefty price tag in your view? And which version did you get?

Anything you have to say about these pieces is mighty appreciated, cheers pal.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

The thing that baffles my mind on so many levels is why people can't like Doctor Who. We can apparantly only like Classic Who or NuWho. I'm one who likes every Doctor equally and I feel like the frigging freak misfit of the bunch.

That's something I've never got either. Personally I think there is just a small but very vocal segment of fandom that just likes to brand itself as somehow being a higher or better or more 'elite' class of fan, and those types of fans, in the case of Who, seem to choose an era, and then see everything else as 'the enemy' and go on constant aggressive attack against said enemy, and against the 'lesser' (in their warped view) fans who are fans of those other eras or incarnations, or who may just enjoy it all, generally speaking. These kinds of fans don't seem to understand that you can like and support something without having to constantly justify it by attacking or hating on something else. And whether it be Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Comics, videogames, or whatever else, we all know fans like that. And they generally aren't much fun to be around.

Now there is nothing wrong with liking one thing more than another, or sharing honest opinions, whether they be positive, negative, or somewhere in between, but when you treat other fans and their own opinions without any respect, it pretty much invalidates anything you may have to say yourself, and just makes you look like a bit of a d!ck really.

Vibrant discussion and debate is one of the true joys of fandom, but dickish and elitist behavour is fandom at its worst, and nothing sucks the fun and enjoyment out of the former more than over-the-top dashes of the latter.

We're all fans, we should all be able to at least respect each other on that core basic level. Anyway end of rant. :lol

IMO its intellectually dishonest to say "I hate ALL ________" and "I love ALL_______". If you have a pulse you should be able to discern what you like and don't like about certain things without stereotyping or coloring the whole.

Someone like bcm77 will take his like of Doctor Who classic and hate of nuWho and attach preference to the finest detail based on that. The shape of the TARDIS to the color of a costume, etc. EVERYTHING in classic Who was perfect and EVERYTHING in nuWho was crap. Pretty shallow.

It's definitely worth the money, as much as it is. It's all made out of quality metal and paints, a VERY bright light and very nice sounds. It's quite a bit smaller than the toy, which is a lot more accurate (having seen an actual piece) and it just feels great, it's nice and cold and quite heavy, which makes it feel really good in your hand. I got the Limited Edition Season 1-2 version and I have the MFX Season 3-4 version. The MFX one is put away in a cupboard while the CT one stands proudly in my Detolf. It's easily the most accurate version out there, if it was only a little more accurate it could unlock doors. Unless they're deadlocked, of course.

Conclusion: Well worth the price.

Additional notes: There is also a big argument, if not war, between MFX and their fandom and CT and their fandom. Try to avoid that and go by feeling of what you think is best. The CT one does have sound whereas the MFX one does not.

Yeah I know about the 'war', I've read the somewhat...colourful...blog postings.

Nah, I made up my own mind that the CT version seemed like the better, and more accurate, piece, but it's always nice to have the opinion of someone who actual has one, so many thanks for that. :D

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

since the big reveal
I'm even more impatient to see miss Pond
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

I cant explain why but I always tot Rose was sexier.something to do with her saucy attitude or w.e but ya.lol Here's hoping for a DX style Rose that comes with her Diary of a Call girl outfit change.:D
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

Speaking of DX Style, I wouldn't mind to see "add-on" packages with alternate outfits, headsculpt or accessories like they often do with military figures, the weapon packs and camo outfits. I mean, there's so much potential. Blue shirt and blue bow tie, maybe a Ganger Doctor set, for the 10th Doctor the blue suit with dark red shirt and red converse, alternate jumpers for the 9th Doctor, hospital outfit for 8th, brown outfit for 7th, blue outfit for 6th and so on and on.

I just want the long coat for the 11th doctor!
It seems it may become the standard...and it would be annoying to see it released as a variant 2nd Smith figure.

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

That coat is a must. Currently making a replica for my cosplay and it just looks so beautiful.

The expansion pack could include that coat, stetson (made to fit over the hair with some room left so it sits nicely of course) and Knitting for Girls magazine. :lol
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

It would be nice but is hardly essential to me now that I think about it.
 
Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement!

My wishes for if they ever release additional headsculpts:

The smirk:
