New Doctor Who 1:6 from Big Chief Studios!

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

Great review! Although sadly (for my wallet) this now has made me realize I "need" this figure

Really impressed by that tailoring specifically and all the attention to detail in general. Nice start for this company.

Anyway-nice work on the review.

Cheers... and sorry at the same time!

Maybe they had two different lengths depending on what action was required ie a 'stunt scarf' that for certain scenes was shorter so not as to get tangled up in anything?

The scarf has a lot of folklore surrounding it, apparently it changed lengths and colours as time went on-

I can't wait for the 10th Doctor!
Do you think they'll make a signature series for him?
I hope they make the 9th & Rose too!

I don't think a Rose figure is very likely because of issues the actress has with action figures.

The latest from Big Chief:

Sherlock and Watson are coming!

So I've decided to get 11 for sure. Is there anywhere I can still get the signature addition?

I spoke to Mark at BC last week, they still had a few! Email them mate.

Pretty awesome they are doing Sherlock! I'm not sure if I'll be getting those or not, but I'd be tempted.

Do you think they changed their expansion pack plans? Originally they were announced as:

“The Almost People” Costume Expansion Pack
1 x Tweed Jacket
1 x Blue Shirt
1 x Blue Bow Tie
1 x Pair of Boots (St. John’s Mining Facility)

“The Almost People” Accessory Expansion Pack
1 x Eleventh Doctor “Ganger” Portrait Head
1 x Sonic Screwdriver (Open)
1 x Torch
1 x Flesh Puddle with Face

“Closing Time” Costume Expansion Pack
1 x Green Three Quarter Length Overcoat
1 x Pair of Trousers with Blue Braces
1 x Pair of Boots

“Closing Time” Accessory Expansion Pack
1 x Eleventh Doctor Portrait with Stetson Hat
2 x Cybermats: 1 x Search Mode & 1 x Attack Mode
1 x Sonic Screwdriver (Closed)
1 x Toy Store Name Badge

Of course no Fez head was in there, and we haven't heard much about some of the others since then. You know, if I like the first one enough, I AM tempted to get another, just to get the long green coat version as a separate figure.

I wonder how much these expansion packs are going to cost especially if they come with additional sculpts. Eventually when they sell their bodies you could in theory put together multiple figures from them, especially the ones with the heads, so I would imagine they'll be priced enough to rival buying another figure outright.

I definitely want the Series 6 Doctor with the Stetson, although I'll probably have him dressed in the long coat with the name badge and Cybermat like in "Closing Time", the Stetson passes for the end look, but I'd love to have a Series 4, Series 5 and Series 6 on display if I could swing it with this packs.

I'd imagine we'd see a "Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang" AP/CP which included the Fez, mop, hopefully the Vortex Manipulator, the written pieces to get Amelia to the museum and who knows if it's really expansive we could get all that in the accessory pack and the Doctor's tuxedo for the clothing pack from the wedding scene.

Fez is too far back.

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

I can't wait to buy that HS! Please BC put that HS in a "Big Bang" pack with a vortex manipulator and Series 5 outfit!

I think the angle of the close-up photo of the head sculpt is somewhat deceiving. I think it looks pretty good, to be honest. If anything I suppose it should be a bit more pointed up than angled back, but I think it's fairly minor:

I feel like I could do without the Stetson hat, but I'd like the long coat and Cybermats. I don't know if I'll go for the Fez pack unless we get the Vortex Manipulator, which would be awesome. I love that these come with headsculpts, but because they are one of the more expensive parts of a figure due to paint apps I'm not expecting them to be super cheap or anything.

And... Stetson head! The hat has some really nice texture to it.

I just the fact that people will be buying a 1/6 mop. Cracking.

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

Well the mop could come in handy later if we want to customize a 3rd Doctor as the cleaning lady !!!

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

Is this the same head/face sculpt as the current release? I don't have my 11th Doctor figure yet.

Now that would make for an interesting expansion pack!

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

Looks a little different somehow , but it could be because the hair isn't falling over his face.

 

[Niceman]

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

Yeah, not sure how different the face is, but the hat is the big difference. I'm guessing it's sculpted on?

 

[DVD1]

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

Definitely a one piece sculpt there . So in order to wear the hat, the 11th has to loose his head. The 4th tho only has to flip his wig !!

Most beautiful action figure I ever laid eyes on.

That's the only variant I'll definitely be making, I already have a horse for him.

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

These expansion packs are being ordered as soon as they are made available . These 11th figures are looking better every time I look at them.
