January 31st, 2017 - 3:51pmWhy does he look so fat?

STRAXTHEDRESTROYER
February 1st, 2017 - 3:25pmI think it’s because its a ball joint, which makes the arms bulk up a bit due to the extra articulation.

January 31st, 2017 - 10:15amNow it says ‘stock on the way’ does that suggest they won’t be getting these today?
booboo
January 31st, 2017 - 10:19amits a default when the due date arrives it could have arrived but not put on the system yet
only way will know is when the despatch emails start getting sent out
Voldermort
January 31st, 2017 - 10:42amOk thanks booboo. I hope they despatch with the nest day or two.

January 26th, 2017 - 7:31pmI wasn’t interested in this at first, but the £9.99 price tag makes it very appealing indeed. It’s amazing what a difference bicep and wrist swivels can do to improve the Tenth Doctor figure. I am loving the new headsculpt too.
Now if only they’d upscale the 3.75″ Tenth Doctor figure! Swappable arms and a removable coat piece would make it perfect; especially if offered in both brown and blue.

January 25th, 2017 - 10:14pmDoes anyone think that any FP retailers will get this figure in stock early like what’s happened with some figures in the past or not?
booboo
January 26th, 2017 - 7:41amits a strange situation, they were definitely saying mid spring (ie May) at the toys fair but FP dates seem very specific and they have both been given the same
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
January 30th, 2017 - 4:40pmHopefully FP (International anyway) stick to their word and this gets released tomorrow, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case though. It’s a bit strange though that this is due tomorrow according to International yet on FP.com it’s not due until 28th February.
booboo
January 30th, 2017 - 4:45pmi get the impression that all of the figures would have followed the same system as before ie One every few weeks as a FP exclusive in the UK
It possible the 10th doctor was already on its way to them when things clearly changed

February 1st, 2017 - 12:54pmGalaxy 4 are also getting these on the 28th now.
James
January 24th, 2017 - 11:37amThe price seems to gone down to ten pound. I pre ordered it when it was 15. Does that make a difference?
Gareth Pugh
January 24th, 2017 - 3:20pmWell it means you and I will be paying £5 more than others! Hey-ho.

January 24th, 2017 - 4:42pmCancel your order over the phone. Then go back on the site and re-order it. I have just done that…I also added the 2 12th Doctor variants to the order. If you order all 3 figures the P&P is about £2 cheaper on FPI verses FP.com

January 23rd, 2017 - 8:05am18 point? I’m counting 14. Even if you count both shoulders as two separate pieces of articulation it’s still only 16.
Omega63
January 23rd, 2017 - 8:05amAside from that, I just really hope these get to Toys R Us as for me it’s so much easier to get to
booboo
January 23rd, 2017 - 8:43amI’m seeing 18?
Omega63
January 23rd, 2017 - 6:08pm1 Head
2 Shoulder (Maybe 4)
2 Bicep
2 Elbow
2 Wrist
1 Waist
2 Pelvis (Maybe 4)
2 Knee
So possibly, but if so then 12 has 20 in that principle.

January 21st, 2017 - 7:13pmIs there another photo of this figure in its packaging? There is a small picture seen in the icon in the ‘What’s New’ sidebar.

January 21st, 2017 - 3:59pmIt seems that once again Character have got their facts wrong. This variant appeared in Rise of the Cybermen AND The Age of Steel AND also in The Lazarus Experiment.
Richard
January 22nd, 2017 - 12:22amBut he did wear this in Voyage of the Damned, did he not? Or was that a different shirt?
JA
January 22nd, 2017 - 4:37amThey were just giving episode examples, not ALL the episodes Ten wore the suit in.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
January 22nd, 2017 - 10:06amYes but Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel is a two-parter, if they’re going to give examples then at least give correct ones. Then again Character did get the information wrong on some of the figures from the Thirteen Doctors set so it doesn’t surprise me.
booboo
January 22nd, 2017 - 1:16pmto be honest its down to the fans to scrutinise every episode this may have been in.
from a PR point of view its sensible to mention just a couple of episodes that would immediately ring bells with Jo Public

January 22nd, 2017 - 10:08amAlso UT’s USA Twitter page did say that the figure was from The End of Time until people corrected them.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
January 22nd, 2017 - 1:01pmActually it was UT’s Instagram page not Twitter, now I’m getting my facts wrong.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
January 22nd, 2017 - 1:41pmIt’s the same story as what happened with the Holographic Tenth Doctor, some people thought it was from Blink and others thought it was from Doomsday. It is debatable because I don’t think it actually specifys which episode this figure is supposed to be from but the obvious choice would be Voyage of the Damned.
Anonymous
January 25th, 2017 - 4:12pmNot technically wrong. They just named the more memorable ones. 🙂
GallifreyanKnight
January 21st, 2017 - 3:28pmIt’s just a shame that:
A. It’s not a standard outfit 10th Doctor with the updated articulation
And
B. It looks nothing like David Tennant.
Killgrave
January 21st, 2017 - 3:23pmIs it me or does the 3.75 version of 10 still have the superior likeness?.. shame.
Richard
January 21st, 2017 - 10:18amI asked Galaxy 4 if any changes would be made and this was their reply.
“Hi Richard
At the moment Character are still telling us the figure will be made available to us for a retail price of £9.99. If we are advised of any changes we will let you know straight away.”
Doctor909
January 21st, 2017 - 11:59amDid they mention anything about the release date?
Richard
January 21st, 2017 - 4:41pmNo, but on the website it says the 31st of May.
booboo
January 21st, 2017 - 4:44pmthe press release seems to confirm this
gut feeling is FPi have an exclusive lead in on the 10th Doctor at least
they may well have had some input on this figure as its labled UT
Ian
January 21st, 2017 - 5:35amConsidering some of the first release of the 12th Doctor ended up in the sales I might wait. I got Clara for 7.50..
prototype dalek
January 21st, 2017 - 9:30amSame, i got the 12th Doctor in Purple shirt for £7.50. Are these limited edition or just like the original TRU collectors figures?
Anonymous
January 21st, 2017 - 1:13amFor the first time in a long time we’re actually getting a figure first, damn.
Though I do hope people across the world do get these figures eventually, because the more people who buy, the more money they get, the more chance of new figures being made!

January 20th, 2017 - 11:33pmAnd once again they don’t send to other countries. 🙁

January 20th, 2017 - 9:42pmWhen do we think the others will be up?
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 10:18pmFP have been in the habit recently of only putting stuff up when its a few days away, hopefully we will find out more next week
James
January 20th, 2017 - 10:22pmHopefully not too soon. I might just about have enough money for one of the 12th doctors. Hope they’re aren’t too exclusive

Tom
January 20th, 2017 - 7:17pmNot sure if i should wait for the others to come up or get this now because of extra post and packaging
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 7:20pmmy gut feeling is the others are some way off still (but don’t hold me to that)
Just depends if you want this now I suppose
DannyTheNerd
January 20th, 2017 - 7:14pmAs this is up for pre order hopefully the others aren’t far behind!

January 20th, 2017 - 5:05pmWill the Galaxy 4 release date be moved forward do you think?
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 5:07pmI doubt it
FP are saying this is exclusive so goodness knows what’s going on
They might have a 3 month exclusive lead in like with toys r us
Anonymous
January 20th, 2017 - 5:27pmDo you think the galaxy4 price will change?
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 5:29pmno idea, personally i doubt it
this one was clearly a UT figure by the packaging we have seen so perhaps FP had some input hence they are getting stock early
Omega63
January 20th, 2017 - 5:34pmToys R Us still advertise the Collector Series as Exclusive despite them (at least used to) being in FP. Real problems with false advertising clearly.
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 5:42pmjoint exclusives aren’t uncommon, in fact as far as Doctor Who figures are concerned its been quite common
Anonymous
January 20th, 2017 - 7:39pmSo an Exclusive to FP with an Extra £5 on top PLUS additional Post/Packing to buy it now?
Omega63
January 20th, 2017 - 8:00pmI was just saying it makes it clear no where that it’s joint on the Toys R Us website. Exclusive to me suggests it’s just that
booboo
January 20th, 2017 - 8:01pmI agree, but its the way its been for years now going right back to Dalek set 2
Ian
January 6th, 2017 - 7:38pmI tweeted UT a short while ago and they told me its been cancelled..
booboo
January 6th, 2017 - 7:41pmUT USA, at this stage I think we need to separate those who speak for the situation, whatever that may be, in the USA, as opposed to the UK
Ian
January 18th, 2017 - 7:56pmI heave heard Character are to make an announcement soon, maybe tomorrow? Is this true?

January 18th, 2017 - 8:09pmits supposed to be soon, not sure about tomorrow though

December 19th, 2016 - 5:50pmWooooo! New five inch Doctor Who figures! The Tenth Doctor in tuxedo looks amazing and can’t wait to see what other ones they will do!
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby?
December 17th, 2016 - 10:46amI have seen that someone has posted a picture of an in-hand image of this figure on the Doctor Who Toys Net forum and it includes a new mould closed Sonic Screwdriver, not the one seen in the prototype image. The packaging doesn’t look any different from last year’s wave though but it looks like a nice figure.
The Outcast
December 17th, 2016 - 11:04amHopefully this means that there could be more accessories for the 12th Doctor figure. Imagine if one of the 12th Doctors came wearing shades and with a closed confession dial and the other came with an open dial and closed sonic shades (as an accessory).

January 21st, 2017 - 9:41amGo onto the Doctorwhotoys.net forum, then click ‘5″ Figures’, then ‘Collector Series wave 2’, and you’ll find the picture on page 61.
It’s definitely worth a look, I think the in-hand photo has really sold it for me. The new sonic screwdriver look fab!

January 21st, 2017 - 10:09amdoes anyone actually know the Facebook source of that photo?
