New Doctor Who Figures? (5 inch scale)

[thedarkknight]

I really want to like the Rory figure, but it doesn't do anything for me.

New Classics set announced! I'm assuming another set with the other head for Sutekh and his sarcophagus is to be announced....

Got the Castrovalva set -
Okay - after being VERY skeptical of this set, I have to say I'm glad I pulled the trigger! The column looks really great for essentially being a hollow piece of plastic. It has a little heft, at least, and the paint job is great. And I ended up liking the variant 5th too, after swearing I had enough of him! LOL. Plus, the shrunken looks great in the decaying Master's hand...

Really like the new Davison sculpt.

Just had the new Rory Williams figure in at my shop this morning and it doesn't look so bad in hand.

Looks awesome! I can't wait for Whona to get it.

Finally The Brigadier and Jo!

The Three Doctors set is just amazing. Love that Jo has swappable arms so you can have her without her coat too!

Been waiting for Rory to finish the 11th doctor shelve for ages, don't really mind how dodgy the likeness is, I'll still pick this up.

I do like how CO are using better jointed shoulders now, nice to have more options than forward or backward arms.

edit: wrong thread!

Went to my local store, they had a whole stock of Rory figures for £14.99. Decided even though it was £3 dearer than online to pick one up, i am glad i did because in hand Rorys face looks quite fat and almost nothing like him, but i found one that looks like it was deformed and squished in comparison, which i think makes the sculpt actually look like Rory. The only issue now being he is now the tallest of the bunch, towering over Amy and a little bit more than the Doctor (my pictures don't show that though).

Did the Tardis cross timestreams with the Delorean?

 

[N2k-swb]

Now that's an episode i'd like to see... I dont like the colours either, a more muted version is on the way.

It's official...

New Series figures are moving over to the 3 3/4'' scale.
Classics will still be 5''

It sounds like New Series figures might still come out in 5'' (maybe from UT?) in some form, but it doesn't sound like CO will be releasing them.

And with that, my Doctor Who figure collecting days are slowly coming to an end, it seems. I'll still get Classics and I hope they do new Doctors and companions in 5'' for collectors, even if they are exclusives through UT... but it seems like the bulk of characters will be in a new scale. I just can't go through building up a mismatched collection in a new scale. But it's an attempt to get kids back on board. I hope it works out for them.

EDIT:

I read the tweet from Al Dewar (from CO) wrong. I see now that UT can't make ANY new series figures in 5'' scale. That's horrible. I guess it's an effort to force people into the new scale for those characters. But if I can't have my Jenna Louise Coleman figure next to Donna and Rose and the rest and the same size, what's the point? I really thought select characters might have a shot. I guess there's always Classics.

And the CO TRAIN OF MADNESS chuggs merrily on down the track....

WT......F?

Where's the best place to read about this?

And I thought the Hobbit 3 3/4" scale was bad enough...
