I just have to join the chorus here and say what a great sculpt!
I quite like Jesse and Heisenberg, but we go in knowing they are cheaper figs, from a smaller company. We forgive things. And Saul still has a bit of a cheaper feel, with the laptop and the hands and the body and the suit. But...
Be aware that they will not always replace the head. I bought one December 2017. Contacted my dealer here about the staining, who, did not get a reply from QmX after a few months and advised that I try, so I talked to QmX, and was told they couldn't send out any more replacements because they...
That TARDIS is the best looking of the new series, I reckon. If Big Chief put that TARDIS up I may have to buy a third ...
If I had to cut my sixth scale collecting back to one line, or even one character, it'd be 'Doctor Who, and incarnations thereof', so the figure itself is a given for me...
I've been trying to go easy on the Star Wars collecting because it can be such a rabbit hole, but after I picked up ROTJ Luke I saw that Chewie was on sale, and I had $50 in rewards ready to go ... suffice it to say 'Chewie rocks'.
Re: Big Chief Studios - 1/6 Doctor Who - #04 Tom Baker
I'm pretty new to making figures out of spares and bits you find online, but after putting together a green coat Stetson Matt Smith I thought I'd give my all time favourite Doctor a try. Here is my first draft of 'The Deadly Assassin' Tom...
I only have a few Star Wars figs - I got the Sideshow ROTJ Vader and the Sideshow C3P0 and R2. First is excellent, second two are ... ok. Threepio thumbs and easy-to-break pistons were a let down, the R2 paint was a bit off, and both have battery issues. That Vader, though, is one of Sideshow's...
DVD1, my dressing gown came with a cord, so you want to make sure to contact Big Chief!
The underlying Rose sculpt is great, and though I still have the same issues with the figure as I had before, Rose has grown on me.
Yeah according to that photo comparison (and feel free to do your own with any photos of the figure - you don't just have to take my word for it) the irises are actually the right size.
Of course, the question then becomes, 'But would slightly exaggerated irises make it feel more like a...
I asked on the board and I was given permission to repost the modder's pics. He used a very fine highlighter pen to add black to the upper eyelid, and cheap and commonly available (in the UK) watercolour paints (from the works, if that means anything?) to make the eye darker. Here are his before...
Can anyone recommend a decent third-party jacket that looks Capaldi-ish?
I am using my spare head to make a rock doctor. I got the guitar, the trousers recommended earlier on this thread, and a standard hoodie and tee. The jacket doesn't have to be perfect - as long as it seems vaguely the...
Got mine yesterday and I adore this figure.
Everyone takes photos of the face super close up. That makes the lower eyelids and slight wrinkles there look very exaggerated. In hand the lower eyelids look pretty much like they do on Jenna Coleman. You would only see those wrinkles if you looked...
Great pic! It made me go straight to ebay and buy that guitar :p With the sunnies and sonic coming it's time to upgrade my Capaldi. The base fig came out so soon after he was cast that it doesn't quite have enough of the personality his Doctor would end up having. Time to remedy that ...
As gorgeous as Jenna Coleman is, I noticed that increasing under eye-puffiness as the series went on (Doctor Who seems to exhaust people ... just look at Smith and Gillan in their first few episodes and compare them to their last), so for me seeing eye puffiness on the figure was a relief. 'Ah...
I emailed QMX and asked about the possibility of replacement Picard heads if bought from a local supplier. QMX got back extremely quickly and were very polite. I suppose it's probably a form letter at this point, but still. They said they are still working out how to deal with the Picard issue...
I got mine yesterday. Apparently every figure has moulding marks/tears on the latexy neck ... and on mine they are really quite obvious. Sounds so common there is probably no point contacting customer service.
I expected to hate this after seeing all the pics. It's not as bad as all that but it...
