booboo
July 17th, 2018 - 5:16amofficial ones
owen ryan
July 14th, 2018 - 4:39pm£16.99 like the older ones (UK)

July 14th, 2018 - 4:39pm????
booboo
July 14th, 2018 - 4:41pmwe dont know yet
owen ryan
July 14th, 2018 - 4:50pmdo you know when we will??
booboo
July 14th, 2018 - 4:51pmnot off hand but cant be long
Gek2Win
July 8th, 2018 - 11:59amQuick question out of interest – what were the source for these images and if possible the original prototypes/ kitbashes?
booboo
July 8th, 2018 - 12:22pmThe original pictures were internal marketing images of the proposed line up for this years sets which you would normally not get to see and were supplied by B&M.
The images you now see are presumably the most viable make-up of these that will go / have gone into production
Gek2Win
July 8th, 2018 - 1:20pmThank you. I assume no one knows when other images/box images will be released?
booboo
July 8th, 2018 - 1:29pmdont think the box images will be long, they are in the collectors series packaging still
All as yet officially to be announced future products will be in the new 13th Doctor style guide
Gek2Win
July 8th, 2018 - 5:06pmDo we know there are to be future products? Obviously no official announcements, but any other confirmation?
booboo
July 8th, 2018 - 5:17pmyes, but no one is going to outright confirm that as such because they just cant at this stage
we know of the 10″ 13th Doctor and Flight control 13th Tardis for sure
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
July 8th, 2018 - 5:32pmWe also assume there’s going to be a 5” Thirteenth Doctor figure to go with the Flight Control TARDIS.
booboo
July 8th, 2018 - 6:07pmassume is the word, slightly puzzled myself at this stage why we are drawing a blank on getting an image of the Amazon Bill, i mean its not like its a secret.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
July 8th, 2018 - 8:39pmI find it hard to believe we won’t see one considering that we’ve seen a placeholder listing for what we assume is a Flight Control TARDIS, maybe Amazon will reveal the details of the Bill figure when we next get an announcement from CO.
Gek2Win
July 9th, 2018 - 3:48pmThat seems likely, considering Amazon has literally never leaked anything.
Shane Cook
June 7th, 2018 - 5:04amThese sets have just been listed on an Australian suppliers website so will be available outside of the UK
Gek2Win
May 25th, 2018 - 7:26amCorrect me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the body of the baker figure a new sculpt? I’ve never seen that sculpt before, and I’ve seen a lot of Doctor Who figures.
The Outcast
May 25th, 2018 - 7:49amThe shirt piece looks to be new, yeah. Though it could be from another figure but we haven’t figured out which one yet.
Gek2Win
May 25th, 2018 - 10:31amI thought so. It appears to be a pertwee base jacket, isn’t it? Also, is the coloured squares on the Brigadier a retool, or is it just a print over the wing badge from Captain Jack?
The Outcast
May 25th, 2018 - 1:06pmYes, it is just the Pertwee jacket and the Brig is just a print over, though I wish it was a retool to make the collar accurate, because that is about the only think wrong with the figure.
Gek2Win
May 25th, 2018 - 4:32pmThank you
Tim M
May 23rd, 2018 - 3:18pmThe Auton is the only monster being released within these B&M sets! Would have liked a monster themed box.

Jordie55555
May 18th, 2018 - 10:30pmWill probably only get this for the 4th doctor
Merlin
May 16th, 2018 - 9:15pmThis set has got me hoping they do a 1960’s, and 1980’s set too. I really don’t mind how broad the contents are in terms of stories.
Anonymous
July 11th, 2018 - 10:06pmI’d like an 80’s one… have a Cyber Leader from Earthshock with probably an Ainley Master resculpt (with possible Sir Gilles Estrame fabric coat and changable head) and possibly Tegan, we really need to look into classic companions, we’ve only got Peri, Jo, Leela, Ace and the Brigadier.
Tom
May 16th, 2018 - 5:16pmFor me, growing up with Tom Baker who for me will always be the quintessential Dr Who. I have been collecting this range which has been going for 13 years. I am very happy being a completist, my fav who story is the talons of weng chiang and to finally get a variant tom baker in his outfit for this story brings back all those happy memories of watching it on TV 40 years ago. For me this will definitely be the last Dr Who figure which I have always wanted for my collection.This is the baker figure which I always wanted to be released. Thank you to the toy makers and to B & M Stores for making this classic dr who fan a happy man.:-)
booboo
May 16th, 2018 - 5:20pmTalons is my favourite all time story as well

May 16th, 2018 - 8:30amIs Captain Jack’s head removable then?
TARDIS DUDE
May 16th, 2018 - 9:28amCaptian Jack? There aint a captian jack?

May 16th, 2018 - 12:33pmThere bodies are based off Captain Jack
Koloth
May 22nd, 2018 - 8:56amThe original Auton in the ‘Enemies of the 3rd Doctor’ set has a similar body to this auton, so its likely a repaint.
Paul Armstrong
May 15th, 2018 - 9:06pmWhat about accessories. Let’s hope 4 had Litefoots rifle
whovian
May 15th, 2018 - 5:02pmThis set isn’t screaming out at me, the others are, so with this one, I’ll definitely be giving it a miss.
booboo
May 15th, 2018 - 5:11pmfor me this is the first one i would pick off the shelf, that said for the record this is the first occasion i would automatically buy all 4 sets
whovian
May 18th, 2018 - 8:52amTo each their own, its just in my own personal opinion, i simply cannot justify spending money on a set that includes two repaints of the same figure. Plus seeing the body sculpt of Jack reminds me of seeing loads of the figure from years ago in toys r us and there just being loads of him, Brannigan and Laszlo.
booboo
May 18th, 2018 - 5:57pmI can understand that, i’m a bit biased to be honest because i know that without B&M’s commitment we would be getting nothing at all
I just think CO/B&M have done a fantastic job this time around with the budget available.
whovian
May 23rd, 2018 - 5:09pmOh definitely, and thankfully no more of the 3.75 inch range. I hope everyone gets the sets that they want, I certainly hope that when they are released, that I can pick up the 3 sets that I want. Jumped at the chance when the 9th Doctor and Rose were released, mainly because I never got that Doctor originally and I lost my Rose a very long time ago.
toptimelord
May 15th, 2018 - 1:46pmI’m gobsmacked! What a surprise! No warning! This Fourth Doctor figure set looks amazing! Not only the Fourth Doctor in a Sherlock Holmes getup but the Brig and a shop window dummy aswell! All big figs too!
LastOfTheSonics
May 15th, 2018 - 10:21amI think the auton is from that really short scene in Terror where the Doctor and the Brig open a safe, and then there’s an auton hiding inside it, but I could be wrong.
T
May 15th, 2018 - 12:33pmThe autons are in Terror Of The Autons (clue/name in the title)
booboo
May 15th, 2018 - 12:44pmyou could be right it look to have a grey suit
The Outcast
May 15th, 2018 - 1:44pmIt’s from various scenes, but the head is wrong. If you search up “Terror of the Autons Auton” an image of 3 of them lying on a bench with the Master standing nearby will appear.
Who Knows
May 15th, 2018 - 1:47pmThere is also a scene near to the end of episode 1 where the Master is activating one – there’s three lying down in total sporting the same outfit as the one included in this set.
THE ERGON
May 15th, 2018 - 7:00pmyou,re so right. I haven,t watched in a while and forgot about these scenes. I automatically think of the faceless auton in the police car and the creepy masked ones with the plastic daffs. I would say the auton knocked over the cliff and the scene with the auton behind the safe are two of my favourite scenes from 70s WHO.
booboo
May 15th, 2018 - 7:07pmterror of the autons was quite thing in its day, i seem to remember complaints about the “police” Auton and “that doll” is probably the singular most disturbing sequence in Doctor Who History
THE ERGON
May 16th, 2018 - 5:17amThere is too many to call from this particular story all the above mentioned plus the daff that almost suffocates jo and the doctor almost being strangled by the phone cord, Controversial and disturbing as you mention but images you never forget.
Anonymous
May 14th, 2018 - 8:32pmI love these, I actually do.
Omega63
May 14th, 2018 - 8:25pmThink they’ve done a pretty good job with the existing sculpts, but two Jack Harkness bases in one set does make it look rather odd.
I’ll take it though, for sure. I’m just worried about how much more creative they can get with existing sculpts from here on in.
Merlin
May 14th, 2018 - 6:37pmI really do love how they have improvised more classic figures, the Brigadier especially. People have suggested various other possibilities in the past, such as a ‘Two Doctors’ Peri repaint, made from the ‘Caves’ version or other Ace t-shirt variants.
But they’d make my day if they were ever able to get out an Ainley Master variant, at minimal cost of course.
VeryFactualDalek
May 16th, 2018 - 12:18pmWe’ve had enough Peri’s and Aces
I’d like a new companion please
Merlin
May 16th, 2018 - 9:12pmSpeak for yourself! Plenty of us want more. Although that Jamie figure seemed so tantalisingly close at one point 🙁
lee moone
May 17th, 2018 - 8:41amYeah, shame we didn’t get Jamie, Yeti & new 2nd Dr to celebrate Web on DVD. A Yeti was close too wasn’t it?
Merlin
May 17th, 2018 - 9:29amIt was. There must be been so many things we don’t know about too.
David
May 14th, 2018 - 3:31pmI’m so happy we’ve got new figures and don’t get me wrong I think these are the best sets B&M have done so far, but The Brigadier is SO Captain Jack to me it just makes me cringe. Like thats how everyone used to make their customs before they released a Brig figure. To me he’ll look so off compared to the other Brig figures, his body shape and build is just so different compared to the other Brig figures.
Also the Tom Baker is meant to be Sherlock Holmes. Is the gag as effective without Sherlock’s deerstalker??
The Auton is a botch job repaint aswell.
I want to love this set but I’m severly undecided…
The Werewolf
May 14th, 2018 - 3:14pmAnother must-but I think
Anonymous
May 14th, 2018 - 2:44pmThis set for me looks by far best of them all really can’t wait for this set
Kevin Bunker
May 14th, 2018 - 1:16pmAlways nice to see the Brigadier. 🙂 Glad we still have B&M to stock figures for us, always liked Toys R Us for the new stuff but when it all dried up I was wondering if B&M would at least get something still. This answers that question. 🙂
Tim M
May 14th, 2018 - 1:12pmNice set. Would have liked to have seen the Tom Baker ‘Talons’ released alongside a re-release of Magnus Greel and Mr Sin though. Would have made a lovely ‘Talons of Weng Chiang’ boxset. The Brigadier and Auton could have been released alongside a 3rd Doctor variant figure. That could have then become a Season 7 boxset.
TARDISGuy
May 14th, 2018 - 12:07pmGreat set. Love that 4 is just a Tom Baker head on a repainted Jon Pertwee body. Does this mean that it’ll be slightly taller than other 4th Doctor figures?
Also love that the Brig uses a Captain Jack body as I’ve seen many customisers do this exact thing.
THE ERGON
May 14th, 2018 - 11:51amThats the spearhead Auton Not Terror?
the_4th_doc
May 14th, 2018 - 11:57amThese are prototypes, so I’m hoping the Auton will get a new headscupt at least considering they’ve mentioned Terror and specifically said ‘Mark 2’ (also hoping 4 gets a deerstalker and 12 gets a generally better facescupt but not counting on it)
the_4th_doc
May 14th, 2018 - 12:00pmJust reilised 4 is literally a 3rd Doctor repaint with a Tom baker head stuck on it, so I think a lot of things will change in the sets and new sculpts are fairly likely
The Outcast
May 14th, 2018 - 12:42pmNo new sculpts will happen because these are B&M budget sets.
Adam
May 14th, 2018 - 12:44pmThese are bargain priced sets. Repaints and kitbashes are all we ever get from B&M. New sculpts would be too expensive to sell at these price points.
The Outcast
May 14th, 2018 - 11:38amThis one is cool too. A new Brig variant, a 4th Doctor to go with Magnus Greel and another variant of Classic Auton. Not as exciting as the last set, but still cool non the less.
