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

A Big Thanks to The BIG Chief Team!

I will thank them when I receive my figure and it is everything I wanted it to be!

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

Hello. This is actually my first post, I've been lurking on the boards for a couple of weeks.

I'm really looking forward hopefully to these Dr. Who figures. If the quality is there I could see picking up a few of them. Also, I think the clothes and accessories packs are a great idea.

I pre-ordered a regular version of the first figure directly from BC. I considered the limited edition, but the price difference isn't worth it for me for a signed plaque, not with the quality of the figure not yet proven. (Also paying a deposit 3 months or more in advance with a new company gave me pause.)

I'm hoping that the Tardis floor bases fit together, so that maybe one day they could fit around a Tardis control? One can only hope.

If Matt Smith is up to snuff, I'll order an Amy Pond too.

If the quality is there, I'd be most interested in:
Matt Smith
David Tennant
Tom Baker
Jon Pertwee (Imagine the extra clothes!)
Billie Piper
and a young Elisabeth Sladen.

Thanks, Dead Leaves. I like the cut of your GIF!

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

If we are throwing out wish lists, here are my top 5.

1. Tom Baker
2. David Tennant
3. John Pertwee
4. Modern Cyberman
5. Classic Dalek

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

I would take every Doctor, frankly.

As for companions and enemies, my top 5 would be:

1. Cyberman (modern version, with interchangeable Cybus/non Cybus chest logo) with Cybermat, Gun, swappable forearm with gun, electric energy effect for hands. Then you could sell an expansion pack with different heads for a Cyber Leader or Cyber Controller with light-up eyes.

2. River Song (in her Pandorica opens outfit) with scanner, gun, jacket, pouches and journal. She'd be a veritable treasure-trove of opportunity with Expansion packs. Her suit and alternate head from Silence in the library along with the future sonic for one. I think her outfit from the Impossible Astronaut with a revolver would be great too.

3. Donna Noble (in her Journey's End coat and outfit) with the Doctor's hand in a jar, a beetle that attaches to her back magnetically, the rubber mallet from the TARDIS (for bonking Sontaran's on the probic vent) and the lashed-up radar device from Journey's End.

4. Rose Tyler (in her "Rose" outfit) with cell phone, Mickey's Auton head and an arm.

5. Sarah Jane Smith. I'm a bit torn about which outfit. I actually really like her look in School Reunion though I'd like a young Sarah Jane. Of her older outfits, I think I like the Planet of Evil one the best. Possibly. I also really liked her first appearance suit though perhaps it looks strangely dated and her hair wasn't the best there. So that's a tough one. But I know I'd buy her in figure form in a heart beat.

That being said... man, there are a ton more people I'd buy in this form. Captain Jack. Jo Grant. An Ice Warrior. Davros. On and on, really.

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

I'm less excited about Daleks and Cybermen, or even Davros, just because they are already 12" versions of them, and the quality is more acceptable than it might be, just because they're armoured instead of having human faces. (And Davros's face always looked like cheap plastic.)

If I were going to pick a villain, I'd want a 12" of The Master!

 

[Ex-Parrot]

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

Likewise, I'm definitely up for one of each official Doctor incarnation.

If we are going top fives though, not counting Smith (because he's already on the way) I'd have to say:

Patrick Troughton
Tom Baker
Jon Pertwee
Colin Baker
David Tennant


If we're talking monsters, creatures, and villains I'd have to go with:

Dalek (can be released in so many variations, that a correctly scaled Dalek, if priced right, could be a nice money spinner for them methinks)
The Master (Roger DelGado, though I'd like an Anthony Ainley as well)
Davros (original Michael Wisher version)
Classic era Cyberman (from Tom Baker era preferably)
The Ood ("I love an Ood...", plus a switch out 'rabid ood' head would be pretty cool)

But there are so many more...


As for companions, right now I'm a little reluctant, as so far I'm not overly taken on what I've seen of Amy Pond (still not a fan of the hair or the blank faced sculpt...still love to be convinced otherwise though). But all things being equal, my top 5 companions would have to be:

Leela
Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart
Sarah Jane Smith (Pertwee/Tom Baker era)
Captain Jack Harkness
Jo Grant


But again, there's just so many I'd buy (if the quality/sculpt was there), everyone from River and Rory, back through modern era characters like Wilf and Martha, all the way back through classic companions like Ace, Jamie, Zoe, Harry Sullivan, and more...

Damn, I could be so broke if this line delivers, and does well enough to last a while...

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

Oh goodie we are going lists.

Lists are what happen to good threads when there's not much left to talk about. I approve. (Which, btw, I assume we'll start a fresh thread dedicated to the Eleventh Doctor figure when it's released... maybe?)

The thing with Doctor Who is there's just sooooo much to choose from. It can't be easy to decide what would be financially viable and which ones to choose first and which ones to hold off on.

As far as Cybermen already being available, I'd have to agree that the 12'' figures that CO did were surprisingly nice for mass-market toys. I'm in no rush to see a Clockwork Droid partly because CO did such an amazing job with it. That being said, I think the Cybermen could use new figures one day that incorporate lights and have an underlayer that better matches the real thing. That being said, I imagine such a thing would be off in the future for Big Chief at this point.

I don't think going companion-crazy is a smart move at first. I think focusing on the Doctors and aliens is probably good, but I do think there are some notable exceptions. I definitely think River is one of them.

As for companions, right now I'm a little reluctant, as so far I'm not overly taken on what I've seen of Amy Pond (still not a fan of the hair or the blank faced sculpt...still love to be convinced otherwise though).

Yeah, as excited as I am for this line, Amy's face does worry me. I am willing to see how she ends up though. Sometimes she looks great, sometimes not so great. I was hoping we'd see some official pics of her (like we did for Matt) soon with some nice lighting. Sometimes more subtle expressions don't read well on camera. Or at least not as well as they would in person.

Damn, I could be so broke if this line delivers, and does well enough to last a while...

Indeed.

Picture thread, yes please!

 

[Desamo]

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

I want Sylvester McCoy and mayde Tom Baker.As for companies I want Ace,Rory and Captain Jack Harkness.

 

[Niceman]

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

If this line is as strong as I hope, it could eventually edge out all, or most of, my other future figure collecting. It would have to earn it, but I already have a lot of Star Wars, so the potential is there.

If I were going to pick a villain, I'd want a 12" of The Master!

I don't believe there have EVER been any truly 1/6 scale Daleks and the PE Davros wasn't 1/6 scale; obviously there have been the CO Cybermen, which were, plus the PE Revenge Cybermen statues. But while there have been Daleks which were 12" high there have never been any 12" scale Daleks.

So Big Chief could score a notable first here.

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

List wise I would be looking for :
10 th and 4 th doctors

Young sarah Jane possibly

[Niceman]

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

Delgado master??

Yeah, actually. A hyper-accurate Delgado would be pretty high up there for me.

 

[Doctor Who]

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

I want a skeletal Master from End of Time. Yeah, that'd be cool..

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

I want a skeletal Master from End of Time. Yeah, that'd be cool..

The skull thing was cool but boy did I hate his clothing, a crappy tracksuit and bleached hair! What I would love would be a Simm's Master with suit, gas mask and a few Toclafane.
