New Doctor Who Figures? (5 inch scale)

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

I won't mind so long as they offer all the Doctors. I would still buy 3 3/4 if they releases some kick ass playsets.

A smaller scale would make army building Daleks easier Daleks are just one of those figures that should always be out. Like Stormtroopers for Star Wars. I just want all the Doctors in the larger scale because they make a nice display. Then Ill gladly go for 1:18.

I'd just want a 3rd Doctor in the current scale then I'd have all the Doctors I'm bothered about but given Character Options lack of commitment to the Classics line so far I can't see it happening.

Then again I never expected the 1st & 2nd Doctors to get released so maybe they'll spring another suprise.

I could see 3 and 8 being offered as exclusives still.... I hope.

Maybe if they go the 2-pack route we could get,

3rd Doctor & Sea Devil
7th Doctor & Special Weapons Dalek ( Both were confirmed to have been sculpted )
Single packed 8th Doctor

OOps. I forgot about Sylvester.

Well his Doctor isn't exactly memorable,at least not for the right reasons!
Having said that I'd still like a figure of him ( and Paul McGann too ) as it'd be nice to display the first 9 Doctors together.

You know, the more I have watched the old series the more convinced I am that the problem was never with Colin and never with Sylvester. The problem was Jonathan Nathan Turner.

Strange how the 2 producers that like being referred to by their initials have been the most criticised in the show's history.

From the various DVD commentaries I've seen a difference in opinion of the show's direction to JNT was one of the reasons Peter Davison left and I think it was the same for Tom & Lalla because they weren't exactly complimentary about him either.

And it wasn't just the actors,former script editor Eric Saward hated him and shortly after leaving the show did an interview that ripped him to bits and one of the costume designers almost walked out when JNT decided he wanted to change Tom's entire look including ditching the iconic scarf.

I think I'll check out some 6th & 7th Doctor stories eventually but I've not yet seen any clips that make me want to rush out and get one ASAP.

I think the biggest crime from the JNT era is the Kandy Man. Even RTD hasn't reached that kind of depth though the Abzorbaloff wasn't far off.

Back to the figures I finally got word of the Cyberman figures being back in stock at Play.com yesterday so I'll be able to complete my Cyber Controller at last!!!

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

Awesome. The cybermen really are among the best.

I like the "Tomb" version best as the little Cybermats are cool,I've got mine ganging up on the Adipose LOL!

I just wish they'd been as widely available as most of the other Who figures as I'd have bought a load but I only saw them twice in stores.

You should be able to order from FPI but if not send me the cash and I'll sort it for you.

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

Well that leaves 2 Doctors to be released. I want my 8th Doctor figure!!

 

[bcm77]

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

Looks like there will be 2 versions of Pertwee but no pics yet. I'm hoping for the one with the red lined cape and either the green or red smoking jacket.

 

[pixletwin]

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

I am hoping for green jacket so I can make a regenerated fourth doc.

Re: New Doctor Who Figures?

Well I'm just glad we have a confirmed release. However this makes me wish I were rich because I would commission 7 and 8 as exclusives for my random web store just so we could have them already

You just like getting me to spend more money don't you? LOL!

Now Pertwee has been confirmed we should now organise a raid on DWW to see if the prototype for Bessie still exists.
