    Looking forward to seeing what Wow stuff will release this year… they make some pretty interesting/fun items.

    I’m possibly interested in the Tardis by Zeon too… sounds intriguing!

    If you took out the trees and bushes on the Deadly 60 set and removed the logs from the water, it would look like the area where the Doctor is shot by the Astronaut in the Impossible Astronaut. The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River have been released and you could use the astronaut from the tesco Character Bulilding set. You could also put a Silence on the top of the big rock like when Amy sees one but then forgets.
    Also, the snow leopard set could be added to the Time of Angels Mini Set to make a bigger rock area.

      I’m not a big fan of Deadly 60, but it’s nice to see Character adding more to the range.

    • The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)

      January 13th, 2012 - 8:38pm

      Looking forward to seeing what Character give us this year. Slightly worried about the sets though. The mini sets were fine but the bigger sets have had more criticism. The TARDIS mega set has sat in the same place in my room since September.

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 13th, 2012 - 9:05pm

      Mine’s sat in the same place since September too! It’s kind of in the way, but I can’t fit it anywhere else! Hopefully we’ll have some good things too look forward too though.

    Interesting it says that the Doctor Who and HM Armed Forces range are being added to, then sayign that Deadly 60 joins them in Spring. Is it possible that Series 3 will come out sometime in late January or February before Series 4 comes out alongside this and then Series 5 with the other ranges?

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:57pm

      Booboo, can we have an updated ‘Which CB Sets would you like to be released’ poll please. It could have possible Series 6 sets, like a Junk Tardis, or the Silence Tardis, and so on.

    • booboo

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:59pm

      Ok give me a list with ideas

      And hopefully it will be more than just those Temporal Combat Shield things.

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 13th, 2012 - 5:10pm

      Ok a list of ideas –

      The Junk Tardis
      The Silence Tardis
      Pirate Ship
      Flesh Bowl
      Teselecta Cockpit
      A room from the Dolls House
      A room at the Two Streams Facility
      A Hotel Room
      The Cybermen’s ship from Closing Time
      Part of the inside of the Pyramid

      Not my best ideas as I just came up with them on the spot, don’t do it just yet though, see if anyone else has any better ideas.

    • booboo

      January 13th, 2012 - 5:11pm

      give me a pirate ship anyday

      If you are going to do a poll then, I think people are pretty happy with the original ideas.

    • The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)

      January 14th, 2012 - 12:34pm

      I’d like to see:
      The hotel reception
      The Underhenge
      Kazrans study
      Lily and Cyrils room (yes I’m serious)
      Shark sleigh ride
      Part of the Silurian city
      and what booboo jr said!

      Very oddly worded press release, but there will be new additions to the range although it’s not clear what or when.

    • booboo

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:56pm

      that’s what these releases are, very general and not specific. We can assume we are getting more CB Doctor Who stuff though from that

  • BOOBOO JR

    January 13th, 2012 - 4:35pm

    Nice to see more things added to the range, do you reckon the new DW Stuff will be on display at the Toy Fair?

    Reply
    • booboo

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:38pm

      probably but we dont know if it will be for public release yet, last year it was. The toy fair is strictly trade/press so you can only talk about what you are told you can by the relevant manufacturer

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:39pm

      What so if you’re going and you see something DW, you might not be able to tell us!

    • booboo

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:49pm

      Not just us, anyone going cant release info to the public unless the manufacture is happy for you to do that although most stuff on general display is fine because people already know about it or they want the world to be told anyway.

      You have to remember this isn’t a public event.

      It should be said however that most confidential stuff is held behind closed doors and can only be seen by those specifically invited (which is not us)

    • BOOBOO JR

      January 13th, 2012 - 4:54pm

      Oh, ok. So what date is the Toy Fair then?
