Wow. That's bad. I wasn't expecting the normal one to sell out but I thought the Signature edition would all sell.
I'd love this line to succeed, BUT IT WON'T. Sorry, but that's just how it is - and it certainly won't succeed the way they're going about it. Starting with Eleven makes commercial sense but the price is £50 beyond what people feel comfortable spending in this climate. It's just too deluxe with too many accessories - maybe in 2006 a figure like this might have sold but now everyone's more worried about money. £99 for the figure, stand and sonic screwdriver would have worked.
Doing Amy next is pure stupidity. What they should have done next is Tom Baker and then variations thereof; if they were going to do companions they should have limited it to Sarah Jane, Leela and K9. As for monsters, it's not hard - daleks and cybermen, duh! No one's ever done a dalek in proper 1:6 scale so that would have been a first and something to shout about. A Genesis Dalek to start, then an Invasion Cyberman. And then more daleks to provide a reliable revenue stream. Then the doctors - someone who doesn't normally buy 1:6 figures will always have a favourite doctor they'll shell out for. And that's all the life there is in this line. The current Doctor, previous Doctors, and the all time fan favourite companions and monsters. And that would have been more than enough. Unless the figure after Amy is the Fourth Doctor, then the line will end at three figures.
