December 3rd, 2011 - 6:01amI’m glad someone finally posted pics of a finished Ganger. I thank you for this. 🙂

December 1st, 2011 - 6:18amCould you use it to mold the flesh packets from the series 6 figures?

September 15th, 2011 - 8:45amHaving now had a chance to play with this properly… it’s fine for what’s it’s supposed to do, that is, make 1 figure at a time, which you can play with (for a few hours) until it begins to dry out (at which point it turns into a grotesque monster. My figure currently has a full-sized body and shrunken head DISTURBING).
The figure is fun to play with while fresh, but doesn’t last long, and you certainly can’t keep the finished pieces.
It does make a nice display piece though. I do recommend it (preferrably on sale).
Mels
September 15th, 2011 - 8:47amThough don’t expect it to make ‘permanent’ pretty figures, because it won’t.
BTW, the box says from ages 3+. The powder/goo appears pretty safe, but I would think that children under the age of 8 would have difficulty in making the figures (the goo is tricky to get right, and the plunger can be quite hard to push).
The goo doesn’t appear to stain, and will still work if lumpy.
Mels
September 15th, 2011 - 8:52amTo summarise. It’s fine as a novelty only, or a display piece. I think it’s a little overpriced (so get it on sale if you can).
I think this set could have been improved, but it’s not bad. I don’t regret buying it though it could have been much better…
…The mangled/cracked/partially shrunken drying figures may frighten small children (I say this seriously, mine is currently *very* disturbing to look at). So parents might want to strip/discard the figures within 8 hours of their small child making them.

September 14th, 2011 - 8:38amWhat! i wanted this to be so much better *sigh* 🙁
Davros For The Win
June 4th, 2012 - 1:29pmI totally agree! I bought this on sale a while back however I ended up selling it on again after just two weeks! Not suitable for younger kids – when dried the figures look quite zombie like and scary!!! :O
The Impossible Astronaut
September 14th, 2011 - 8:37amwanted this to be alot better *sigh* 🙁
Mels
September 14th, 2011 - 8:21amJust started messing with one of these… the goo is pretty hopeless, I’ve mixed this stuff up twice now, by adding the powder slowly to the water (as per instructions) and the second by adding the water to the powder.
The second way was better, but still horribly lumpy.
The first time the stopper flew out the bottom (I had it on carpet, which is a no no) and goo went everywhere.
Second time worked, but very difficult to push…
I’ll see how the figure comes out, but I think Character could have done a bit better job with this.
booboo
September 14th, 2011 - 9:04amMine pretty much the same, i made couple gangers but neither looked that good
brad123

Beep
August 8th, 2011 - 3:22pmAnyone got this? I really want it, but not really for the make a ganger thing, although it’ll be fun to try that out, but more for the fact it’ll make a great display piece for ganger doctor and any other gangers that could be made, its also pretty big.
booboo
August 8th, 2011 - 3:26pmyes i have it, its good as display piece but the ganger doctor just shrivels up and falls apart, you can make 10+
fezandasteson
August 8th, 2011 - 3:30pmcan we see pictures of the set booboo please??
booboo
August 8th, 2011 - 3:32pmi will do some sometime may be with some of the ganger figures and masks when we get them
fezandasteson
August 8th, 2011 - 5:50pmBooboo does the figure shrivel up when you use the skeleton thingy when making the figure???
booboo
August 8th, 2011 - 5:57pmyes and it all falls of and look like something from a horror movie
the one on the left was made with the frame the one on the right was made without the frame,you can see how much in shrinks! these are both about a week old
Mumble5557
August 15th, 2011 - 7:52pmis it worth the price
:)
August 15th, 2011 - 8:16pmThat is disgraceful
McGann is the Doctor.
August 22nd, 2011 - 3:56pmBut still, if you clean out the set, you might be able to use it as a Matt-Smith Jelly mould for a Doctor-shaped dessert treat !
Hasn’t anyone else thought of that ! 😆
anthony
September 2nd, 2011 - 12:50pmis it good for display but ok to ply cos can u make it with the goo

dalek95
August 2nd, 2011 - 11:10ami think they should have not done the doctor they should’ve either done the other gangers
Mels
July 31st, 2011 - 4:44pmSo, for those who have managed to buy this already, does the final product still have the Doctor with the slightly-odd-no-bowtie outfit shown above?
booboo
July 31st, 2011 - 4:47pmyes its identical to the picture
Mels
July 31st, 2011 - 4:50pm*Sigh* Thanks for the info!
(It would have been a bit more fun to have the ‘proper’ outfit… but at the same time I can see why CO chose not to use it).
hath57
August 2nd, 2011 - 7:36pmIs it just the Doctor in the set?
booboo
August 2nd, 2011 - 7:37pmyes it is
miss-who/MissDWGurliie
August 2nd, 2011 - 7:41pmthe doctor? thats wasnt even in the episode ( diffferant outfit) and it would have been better to do other gangers..can you paint them?
booboo
August 2nd, 2011 - 7:45pmno, and they shrivel up, there is enough powder to make 10+ figures but they dont last and dry out. my original one without skeleton frame is half the size it first was now
miss-who/MissDWGurliie
August 2nd, 2011 - 7:50pm:O so is it not really worth buying then? because my birthday’s coming up and i need to choose out of that and some character building bits and plushies..
dr who fan 4 ever
July 28th, 2011 - 3:17pmI dont think the doctor ganger can move also it might have the veins showing
whofan4ever
July 28th, 2011 - 9:16amyou could paint the suit to make it look like the face is the only white bit
Adam Peter Mills
July 16th, 2011 - 10:49pmThey should’ve released this as the bath and bowl with one, two, or all of the factory workers. :l

July 16th, 2011 - 10:49pmAs figures I mean, not as ‘Flesh’ sculpts.
anthony

grimreaperguy
July 16th, 2011 - 6:23pmok one Q. can you mould other figures. i kinda wanna mould amy
DuckandGrouse
July 16th, 2011 - 7:30amgod almighty, you would think it would even look like a ganger, it looks more like an auton!
Boodleoo
July 15th, 2011 - 5:41pmmaybe if you want to use it for display purposes you could put the flesh goo pod stuff in there. Bu it might be hard because that black top thing might get in the way. Plus you might break it
anthony
July 16th, 2011 - 1:10pmthta what i said ages ago that black thing could u take it out and poor the flesh goo pod in it
Boodleoo
July 19th, 2011 - 6:01pmyeah hopefully you can
Doctor Stu
July 15th, 2011 - 4:34pmIf the mould isn’t reusable then you can fill the flesh bowl up with goo from the flesh pod.
Boodleoo
July 15th, 2011 - 5:43pmyeah thats what i said but i didn’t see your comment first
Boodleoo
July 15th, 2011 - 5:44pmIf i do get it for display I’ll only put it in the body chamber part because you might not get that black top thing out
doctor stu
July 19th, 2011 - 5:57pmoh yeah, good point.
Boodleoo
July 19th, 2011 - 6:00pmYou could put the doctor you’ve just made in the chamber in the flesh goo with his arm and his face sticking out
