A good question we got in our main WGP thread:
It doesn't, really. Warriors Gate are friends with the gang over at Big Chief and we knew this was coming for quite a while. What they are going to be doing is amazing. It's gonna be something very special and there's a chance Warriors Gate will even be doing some work for them at some point as well.
They aren't so bothered by what we do on the forums because quite frankly, forum sales are such a niche market we aren't really ever going to sell in the kind of numbers that ever threaten them.
So for this year, Warriors Gate will continue it's plans to :
1)complete our the "Invasion" wave. The "Ultimate" Troughton and Jamie costumes are due to be completed next week. Zoe's is already completed, leaving just the one everybodys been going crazy over, the Cyberman.
2)make The Fourth Doctor: The End wave,
with our S18 Tom, Romana II (Destiny outfit), K-9, and Ainley Master.
3) and then lastly, WGP and Billy B are teaming up for a special "goodbye" figure for Elisabeth Sladen, a "Planet of Evil" Sarah Jane Smith.
We're looking into making metal 1:6 sonic screwdrivers and Tardis keys accessories, we are fabric printing the hard to find material we need.
It'll be sweet!
About the ONLY thing that's had to change is that next year we were going to finally make 1:6 Daleks and now we won't. When Big Chief gets around to them, they will be able to make them so much cheaper than us who are so small scale, it will be like Christmas so there's no point doing them now. But as fans ourselves, that's a GOOD thing.

Just wanted to pop on and say while we are all waiting to see the final version of Jamie's Vest and his hand-made sporran, the Second Doctors accessories are being sent off to the printers Mon so they should be finished and available to order at the same time.
The recent How Toys "Sweeney Todd" release uses the Slim Body so it can currently be found loose on E-bay rather cheap.
Hey gang, a few things I've wanted to mention here:
How many of you have seen the new "Big Chief" Matt Smith head?
It was painted by Side Show Forums very own "Greggo". Sweet, right?
Did you guys know Greggo has been WGP's painter for our painted heads for customers ever since we partnered up on our Penguin project?
Just sayin' for anyone needing someone to paint their heads.
Also available when the Troughton accessories are done will be the Troughton serious V.2 head we showed awhile ago for everyone that has has been PMing us for about it recently. It will be just $10 plus shipping for those who ordered V.1 from us before. If you order it with something else that items shipping will cover it. For first time buyers of it, it will be it's regular price of $45.
I can't wait to have the entire Troughton cabin crew finished!
"My, that certainly is a big one, Jamie."
"Och. Aye!"

I have no idea how Big Chief or Hot Toys replicate incredible paint jobs on every head. Maybe they take the hostile third world country workers out to Buffallo Wild Wings and bowling every week?
