New Doctor Who 1:6 from Big Chief Studios!

[thamesvalidude]

For the record, in case anyone is wondering,
I'll be 56 this year, and I still collect (and enjoy!)
toys.

I'm only just behind you Prince, 53 this year and collecting like crazy. The only benefit of being old, is I can afford this s*** now

Wonder if any U.S. sellers like Big Bad Toy Store will be carrying the regular edition. Shipping from the U.K. is expensive.

Seriously though, ordering from anywhere that is not your home country is expensive. Each country has it's share of local import taxes to apply to any luxury item coming in, and the UK seems to have more than its fair share

The thing for Americans is that it really used to be the only place to get really cool things through the mail. Our US cousins are now having something of an eye opening experience, having to order from other places now. The shoe is slightly on the other foot now. Thank you WWW!

Well I am 48 and still going strong.

I'm thinking of getting the regular edition. Do I need to register for a code or will these be available today on their website? Also do they charge your credit card now or when they ship?

It'll be available for standard pre-order today at six, so you don't need to do anything special. You'll only have to pay a deposit (£30, I think, or is that just for the signature edition?) for the time being.

Yes, that's ONE fringe benefit of getting older!

Nice to see I'm not the only older man on here!

Hey, I'm only 42. I'm the baby of the boards!

As for the futzing/ neck/ collar issues sculpted necks never bother me, I don't mind toys looking like toys. I'm sure the clothes will work out with a little futzing - 11's did, and after an initial messaround we have never had to touch them again. I know all about the high price but this is still probably as difficult as clothes ever get on a figure and they look more or less ok to me.

I'm just thrilled to be getting a Tennant that looks like Tennant - the CO version was good for its time but the sculpt on that is incredibly shallow.

My one concern, just going by 11, is the paint job and specifically the grey wash. 11 had a superb paint job, but on a few heads the grey wash ran and either made the figure look dark and sallow or just plain wrong, spoiling some otherwise excellent eyework and paint work. I noticed on some of the photos that Tennant has a grey wash and even then it looked slightly off to me. I mean check it out here - surely it should be a straight line from his mouth to his sideburns (because it represents shaved stubble) but the line doesn't look straight:

With the issue of grey wash, if it works it works well, but when it doesn't it looks awfu. I hope BC either get it right or don't use it.

I'm another oldie, also 53 this year, it's nice to know there's a few more of us out there.

Deposit is 15 pounds (about $22) for the edition still available.

You or BC ought to ask https://www.doctorwhonews.net/ the news section of Gallifrey Base to put up a news article about the figure - I'm sure there are many fans who might be interested in the figure who don't know about it and never visit this site or The Celestial Toyroom. They buy a lot of other high-end Who items, if they knew about it - particularly given that it's numbered and limited - they might be interested in this.

Don't. There are actual kids on the forum, you are a man sir!

24 here. Though I've been in this game since...I was 7.... -_-

 

[DGTWoodward]

Look at the age span of members here..what a great forum!

Got the reg...

 

[Captain Britain]

So 4000 people signed up for the pre-order didn't translate into a sell-out for the non-sig edition... hmmmmm. Does anyone know how much it has sold? Is it close to selling out and is there any way of telling how many are left the way folks used to monitor Sideshow pre-orders?

 

[JonWes]

You can't put more than one in your cart so I don't think there's any way for us to check stock level. The fact that it didn't sell out isn't totally surprising. As people were saying, a lot of those people may not have realized the price. Or forgot about it. It's easy to sign-up for an e-mail. That's free and quick.

I do hope they sell out soon, though. I worry if it lingers too long then future, less popular Doctors will have a tougher time getting made.

 

[Victοr]

I got my two refunds and I'm now the proud (pre) owner of a sig edition!

 

[pixletwin]

Good to hear. DK.

Excellent. Well after all the frenzy and excitement of Thursday night, Friday morning...
I had my last 4 hour conference call on the Friday morning, after not getting to bed. Then I had the afternoon to tie up the loose ends and send emails to people and get stuff up and running here, then at about 4 , I went home... And crashed out. This Doctor Who figure cost me, a Friday night!!!
