Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 11th Doctor 1/6 TARDIS

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

That's not going to work though for different Doctors because the shape, size, color and signage of the Tardis changed significantly. That's like saying they should make a "one-size-fits-all" Batmobile.

Not quite the same - the 66 Batmobile and the Tumbler are very different vehicles - the Tardis is still a police box. Just a personal preference of mine as a casual NuWhoer.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

Well as a lifelong WHOvian, I would not display my Tom Baker, for example, with a NuWho Tardis.

Ditto. Baker needs to be next to a Newberry. Hartnell needs to be besides his Brachacki box. Nine and Ten by their RTD box and 11 and 12 by their Moffat box. I couldn't do it any other way without it itching in my brain.

Call me crazy, I'll make room for DeLorean and 3 Batmobiles, but 6 Tardi would just use up too much space (and time).

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

I'm a lifelong Who fan as well, and I still don't care which version they do, just as long as the one they choose they do well, and with best possible accuracy. And at the price range I imagine this is going to hit at, I'll only be buying one, so my 1/6 scale Doctors will have to fight amongst themselves over who gets ownership...

Yeah thats the rub. But that is one display I would intend to rotate anyway. One Doctor a month with his Police Box.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

The viewing figures for Dr Who vary from 6-10 million and in all honesty I would think there is only a very small fraction of those that would know the difference between one or the other when it comes to the Tardis from the outside and I think the Tardis is the kind of thing that will sell to those that don't necessarily collect figures but just as a collectable piece so the choice of which they decide to make shoud be the most visually appealing.

This probably could do with a poll.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

At this stage, obviously, the most likely think for BCS to do is produce the version of the TARDIS seen in the show right now. Hopefully they are able to produce it and it sells well. That is about as far as I am willing to hope at the moment.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

I would think, for reasons of re-use, that we'll see at least all the NuWho versions of the TARDIS. The dimensions are relatively the same, and just with some color and parts swapping you could make all three. I think that'd make the most sense financially, too. I actually think it'd be kind of revolutionary for them to offer all three at the same time. If they could get their factory to run them as one run because the paint/details swaps could be minor, then they could potentially save a lot of cost by ganging them all together, and fans could pick their police box or buy all three in one go! I know I'm really only going to need one.

Like I said before, the color of Capaldi's is not my favorite, but it might grow on me, if that's the one they go with.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

Is Capaldi's different from Matt's? It looks the same to me.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

They should make it an unpainted kit so that we can make it whichever version we want. Just include the appropriate sticker pack for Matt Smith's/Capaldi's.

This is awesome news

Forget that, I don't wanna have to paint my own

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

We're getting a 1/6 Tardis... let the arguments about which Tardis it should be begin!

Oh wait... they've already started...

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

Nah, no arguements. It will be the current version. No doubts. I wish it were the Hartnell version though.

Yeah, it's a brighter blue. But, actually, looking at more pics of it, I kind of like the hue. Some pictures I'd seen made it look REALLY bright, but that must have been the lighting.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

The argument is that I want light-up inserts for interiors for multiple Tardis from different eras. But others are saying that if it's the current Tardis, having an interior from 4 or from Tenant wouldn't be acceptable.

As long as it included the "correct" insert, I wouldn't care what other inserts came with it.

Re: Big Chief Studios - Doctor Who - 1/6 TARDIS

Of course I just picked up a 1/6 TARDIS off of eBay last week! LOL But the price was too good to pass up. It's a static TARDIS (door doesn't open, no lights or sound), but I wouldn't be playing with it anyway (a bit bummed about the door not opening though). Nice thing is that it's fully made of wood. From the Tennant era - pic below. Thing is massive! I had no concept as to how big it was until it was in my hands. Depending on the price of the BCS version, this may end up back on eBay though
