Dr. Who busts from Titan

[Darklord Dave]

I just got 11, Amy and Captain Jack. These Titan busts are pretty decent. They're more 2/3rds of a 1/6 statue than a bust. The likenesses are pretty good and although the paint is simplistic compared to an HT figure - these easily hold their own with Gentle Giant or DC Direct. I'll definitely be getting the rest of them and I hope they make more New Who ones.

The pictures aren't showing up, I think.

I'm not crazy about the paint job on Capt. Jack, but they are good pieces.

You have to wonder why anyone paints nostrils as black. Unless you're really sick, that's hardly a natural color for them.

 

[pixletwin]

Right. But it's the eyes which bother me the most. They are too cold.

jeezus,what have they done to Pond?

 

[Doctor Who]

I've seen better and I've seen worse. Middle of the road.

$70 is the going rate for minibusts. Most in the Harry Potter line are that much, even back in the Sideshow/Weta days some were around that much.

The Walking Dead busts are 40, and they're called dirty cheap. 70 is a decent price, because I've seen busts that scale go 100.

 

[ProgMatinee]

'm living in the past. I remember when SW busts were $40.

 

[Damien]

actually they call these "maxi" busts

 

[Doctor Who]

Busts are busts. A 1:1 is called a bust, and a 1:18 is called a bust. Their use of "Maxi" doesn't really mean much.

 

[Damien]

i know
just trying to be funny

 

[Doctor Who]

All cool, man. One thing I like about the busts are their scale, they're about 1:6th so they go nicely with the rest.

 

[Damien]

at least the doctor looks pretty good
but Pond almost made me cry

 

[Doctor Who]

Amy looks okay. I think from certain angles it looks good, from others it's crappy.

 

[Damien]

a good paint job would cost me more than buying the bust
so I will pass
