that cyberman looks very disturbing!
Posted by: Ian Scales February 13th, 2013
Looking forward to this – do we need to keep checking on here or any news on where else it may be advertised? Easy either way – just don’t want to miss when it comes out etc?
Posted by: booboo February 13th, 2013
seems to have gone a bit quiet, i keep a look out constantly for news
Posted by: the man from outer space April 4th, 2013
does it look disturbing?
Posted by: The Mad Dalek February 9th, 2013
Hey, Any idea if this is out yet?
Posted by: GUY NEWMOUNTAIN January 3rd, 2013
Hi: can’t wait for this to come out, it looks absolutely terrific and, complete with diamond logo on the pages, hits the perfect note of nostalgia! Don’t take this the wrong way, but before its release, could you make use of any free proof-reading? No obligation to act on my findings; but as a Graphics teacher, I see the impact/authority of strong artwork weakened daily by stuff Spellcheck didn’t pick up. Few here to see, but it would be a pity if any crept into this superb project (is “volvanic” eruption correct?) I’d need bigger scans though!
Posted by: Dr Who Monster Toy Book January 10th, 2013
Thanks for the offer, it is very appreciated! I have a couple of proof readers who have been going through the text. Those pages samples were early test images and not proof read (probably should have been). I was too eager to get the word out about the project.
Unfortunately due to my PC dying over Christmas (great timing) it has delayed the project for a few weeks as I get everything back up and running again. Thankfully most of the pages were finished but the final edit and formatting takes a very long time.

Posted by: booboo December 28th, 2012

Posted by: Dr Who Monster Toy Book December 28th, 2012
Experiencing some unfortunate delays. Will be available soon, possibly in the first or second week of January. Missing Christmas but now a part of the 50th anniversary year.

I’ve seen a lot of Bugeye’s work on Deviant Art. He/she/it does some terrific things with Cybermen.

This look absolutely amazing
Posted by: HarryReeves2000 November 13th, 2012
The macra and auton and the bug creature (forgotten name of) would have made quite cool figures and as the new series figures are shrinking , i have stopped with them and im going onto classics.
Posted by: Anonymous November 14th, 2012
the bug is called a Wirren thats the name not the spelling
Posted by: The TARDIS November 14th, 2012
Yeah, it’s spelt Wirrn. Or Wirrrn, as Ian Marter and Gary Russell spelt it.
Posted by: Some bloke November 17th, 2012
do you think considering there are images of the wirrn toy in this ‘Book’, do you think tey’ll make an official release of a wirrn figure, possibly with sarah in nerva beacon uniform figure, a harry sullivan figure and model nerva beacon?
I think that would be my all time favourite figure set!!!
Posted by: josh November 29th, 2012

Posted by: McGann is the Doctor November 13th, 2012
P.S: can someone explain to me what “MOONAGE BUG EYE MALCOLM ORR AQUATICS” is supposed to mean ?
Posted by: booboo November 13th, 2012
that’s the forum names of some of the contributors
Posted by: gary November 13th, 2012
That tenth planet cyberman looks very disturbing and the Sara Kingdom looks fan too! Prineval’s Helen Cutter me thinks though.
Posted by: John Smith November 13th, 2012
You were right about that! That 10th Planet Cybermen did look slightly disturbing with it’s big open ghoulish mouth. Gives me shivers.
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor November 13th, 2012
Reminds me of the Silence.
Posted by: Liason Ice November 13th, 2012
