New Doctor Who 1:6 from Big Chief Studios!

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

I still think the Doctor's jacket looks a bit too light, but it's probably gonna look better in person. If they use the sort of fabric I think they use, it's gonna be about 25% darker infront of your eyes.

I just hope Amy gets some expansion packs dedicated to her. The figure looks great but it's probably my least favorite outfit she's worn.

My top picks would be:

Vincent and the Doctor (we definitely need her scarf somehow)

Victory of the Daleks (also one of her main promo images for season 1)

To me those are pretty iconic and interesting.

I think the image is just a bit washed out in general, probably because of the lighting.

I can honestly say that big chief did not pose these figures. Just wait until next week when big chief will be showing them at the spring fair in the UK.

Did you see the figures in person?
Please tell me that 11's jacket looks better in person.
In the last couple of pics I've seen it look yellow to me.

Big chief were not at the toy fair the second day! They were there the first day but the stand would not let them take photos and the poses were much much better

Then I await the new photos with feverish brow

Yeah I have indeed seen them in person as I work with big chief on these figures! The jacket worn in the prototype of the 11th is one of the first prototype jackets that the tailor made! The colour is not correct the one they used for the prototype images is currently with the manufactures so they can match to the correct material! Therefore the one the in the photos is not correct and is only used on this prototype figure and won't be the colour that the final production pieces will have! Hope that helps!?

Then I guess I asked the right person.
Thank you. It does help. This first fig is gonna make or break the line and I was starting to worry.
I have high hopes for Big Chief.

Trust me you have nothing to worry about the detail on these are mind blowing!

Cool stuff Greggo! Have you guys seen any factory samples yet of the paint job? Can't wait to see what it looks like...

I was just about to say the same thing...hopefully it's just the crappy photo making it look lighter than it actually is.

Totally ignored Greggo's post...sorry Greggo

Awesome to know that isn't the jacket we'll be getting.

I can't believe that no other sites have posted pics of these from the UK Toy Fair yet.

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

It seems the Doctor Who toy sites have little interest in these.

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

Are there any other pics?

Apparantly not.

There are more pictures out there if you look.

I can't say I'm impressed with the packaging.

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

I like the packaging, to be honest. Has that nice touch of the dark background with a nice logo. It does look a bit beaten and weak.

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

While the packaging doesn't immediately blow me away, it's nice enough. While it doesn't reach the refined level of some Hot Toys just by the looks of it, I'm sure they are a bit more restricted by the style guide than some other licenses. BBC seems to be pretty on the ball with that. Slightly surprised to see the logo in such a warm color. I don't know if I've ever seen it that way.

Also, that looks like a mock-up someone has put together by hand. Maybe when we see the final it'll look a bit more refined and nice.

I'm assuming these are still the hand-painted prototypes. Amy's hair reveals why having non-plastic hair makes me nervous... though I know you can style doll hair and put stuff in it to make it stay so that's not too big a worry.

I'm intrigued to see how her face ends up in real life. In pictures, she either looks very nice or sort of flat and soulless.

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

The packaging might be a little bland, but on how many actual shelves in the shops are we gonna find this? And concidering how every other Doctor Who related packaging looks, this is pushing it. I think they might be restricted by the Beeb.
