Re: WGP's Doctor Who (printed pics posted!)
Warriors Gate Doctor Who talk
GREAT QUESTIONS!
I am a massive lifelong Who fan so every Doctor is theoretically on the table at some point. There are two factors involved with what we make:
One- For WGP to sell heads, most will need costumes made too. Fact of life. None can be bought off the rack, (though a few years ago Ecclestons coat could be because his 1:6 jacket was everythere but it's not out there anymore that I've seen).
WGP's biggest problem is slow tailors and lack of tailors (but a ton of other current projects). The tailor factor changes several times a year, but whichever Doctor we make is going to realistically need a costume to help sell them better, so we can't just pop out a Doctor head by itself like an Eccleston (although we wish we could).
For us to make just a head (without a costume) we'd need 16 people expressing interest here for that to happen (going forward). So shout out any Doctors you'd want without a costume and I'll keep the list.
(pulls out Tissue Compression Eliminator). That is JUST for Doctors.
The costume part dovetails into factor two-
Doctor Who is the nerdiest show (my personal favorite) we make and we have 50 years to cull from. Because the seamstress pool is so tight only allowing for a handful a year, any characters we make that needs a costume are pretty much my preference, and while I don't know what era we will be hitting next for certain, I know we will be covering more of the Fourth Doctor era for a little bit more before that. I want a nice Tharil sized footprint all over Tom's era for future archeologists to find.
Along those lines, just to mention, we have K-9 in the workshop being finished now so he will be out this year.
For those that missed it, a forum member commissioned us/paid us outright to make a Leela head because he didn't want to wait "untill whenever we got to her" on our list, he wanted her now, so now she's on the books for certain as one of our next new upcoming Who character projects.
If anyone is screaming for any Who character to be made and can't wait, PM me (laugh). I offered him a deal on the sculpt because it was Who and a character we wanted to do for certain at some point, so his helping us with the fees bumped her up on the list.
Beyond Leela, the only major Tom era characters left unmade is Romana 1 and Harry. Since we've gone that far, will we make them to fill out Toms era? I don't know. Depends on demand. Since we are making Sarah and Leela however, I do want us to make a younger Tom too (S14-ish?), which has been discussed before.
Whatever next new Who figures we do beyond that (with costumes) will obviously depend on what Big Chief has announced by that time as well. We had been talking about Pertwee and Jo but thats not set in stone. We are getting spoiled with Pertwee in the Character Option range so I have been thinking about maybe doing another era instead.
Random thoughts.
>Whenever we do Davison I would want to make his Season 19 companions as well if there was interest. I would want to make Nyssa at the very least.
>I think we are finally at that stage we will be able to pull off an Ace when we get to her (the patches were going to be problematic but that has been solved). Now the question remains could we do McCoys sweater? I like her enough I would be willing to make her on her own (in costume) if enough people shouted out.

Any chance Tom will ship this month?
Did you make that all from scratch?
