WGP's CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO- SARAH JANE NOW AVAILABLE

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First K-9 pics!)

We never hate hearing peoples wants! Actually, we we thinking about making at least one alternate Matt Smith head (once the figure is out for us to match sizes on) to go with Big Chiefs body. The plan so far was for a smiling Fez Doctor but we'll ask for what people might want closer to it's release.

That's good to hear , I'm cool with a fez as long as it can be removed and doesn't take away from the hair sculpt.

Unfortunately, I don't think you could get 16 people for any Who sculpt these days. The interest just isn't there any more. We're lucky you went ahead with Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, because they haven't gotten anywhere near that much interest. I mean, if folks don't show up for Tom Baker, Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, they ain't showing up for Susan, Harry or River.

I'd love Susan or River.

May I suggest Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman while they are high profile?

He doesn't appear to have a thread for it, can you possibly give me a link to where there are pics of it please?

Sometimes I think you and I are the only ones still showing up for Who sculpts.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First K-9 pics!)

I think there are plenty, they are just waiting for the sculpts to finally be available. We have been waiting awhile, once they see some nicely painted customs, then there will be demand. I really want Sarah Jane and the Brig, but can't really do anything till they are available, so I focus on other customs/ hobbies

I'm checking in...just not speaking up as I'm in danger of losing track of all my pre-orders...

The problem with waiting and keeping quiet is that it keeps things from being made. I mean, if WGP were going by the interest lists, Sarah Jane and the Brig wouldn't even be getting made. There would be nothing to see painted.

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First K-9 pics!)

They need to make a profit to afford the 3D printing, it's just the delays that keep holding them back, they've Talked about K9 and the cyberman since before they made the items themselves and it's been several months since we saw the CG model for Sarah and the Brig. They were supposed to be printed a little while back, but keep getting pushed back, in mean time many are spending money elsewhere and forgetting about these. Then other companies/customisers come out with other things and that gets the focus.

____ me that sculpt is spot on! Are they still available to order?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First K-9 pics!)

Yeah, but it costs nothing to at least express interest, that's my point. It's not like anyone is required to buy. Like I said, Sarah Jane, the Brigadier, the Cyberman, none it of it would be getting made if WGP were going by the interest lists. I suspect that the only reason they've gone ahead with sculpting and printing them is that WST wants these pieces in his collection. I don't think a single piece listed in this thread has managed an interest list of 16 people.

I'm sure they are, just shoot him a pm. He disappears for a few weeks sometimes, so don't worry if he doesn't get right back to you, he will eventually.

Will do! yes you are correct I see he hasn't been on here since 2011!

How big is the head actually? compared to a sideshow or hot toys sculpt ..

My bad, I went by the date of his last post ..but yes I see you are correct, I hope he gets back to me soon! tnx for your help!

The heads are HT sized

Re: WGP's Doctor Who (First K-9 pics!)

Didn't know where else to put this, so I thought I'd stick it in here since this is where all the Who custom talk takes place these days. Anyone looking for 4th Doctor shoes, Newline Miniatures has started selling real leather brogues. A little pricey at $18, but NLM make high quailty stuff.

Okay, all this type of talk makes me nervous. Sarah will be available eventually right?

My interest, at the moment, is focused on Sarah, the 4th Doctor, and Harry (K9, too). It's not that I wouldn't be interested in other Who characters later on, I'd just rather get those most wanted first rather than a lesser favorite-which I'm sure is true of most people.

UPDATE

Sarah, Romana II, and the Brig have been printed and are with Sean in the UK to be cleaned. The smaller K-9 parts have also shown up we have been waiting for so Sean can clean them too.

When done he will ship them back to the US for casting. Romana will be available for any adventurous person who wants to do something with her bald head themselves, but otherwise she will then be getting shipped off to be painted by Silent Surfer as another copy gets shipped off to have her prototype wig made.
