May 28th, 2015 - 6:06pmthank you. i just had an amazing weekend my friend and his 7 year old boy stayed over and every single figure was taken of the shelves and played with. It makes collecting all worth while. we love this site and check every day. Thank you for making collecting easy.

May 28th, 2015 - 11:17amStupid question- Are these classic daleks and 8th doctor part of this special series of figures?
booboo
May 28th, 2015 - 11:20amThey are 3.75″
BUT i very much suspect we will see the 8th Doctor in 5″ as well as part of the collectors series, i mean is there anyone who wouldn’t want that?
TheWhovianGeek
May 27th, 2015 - 5:33pmWhat scale is the purple dalek?
DannyTheNerd
May 27th, 2015 - 7:30pm3.75 i think
DannyTheNerd
May 27th, 2015 - 12:45pmWhat’s the hint? Pink 3.75 daleks? lol
DannyTheNerd
May 27th, 2015 - 12:46pmOH wait i see it now! XD
ASTER
May 27th, 2015 - 1:37pmMissy’s device !!!!:D
whotoys
May 24th, 2015 - 8:17amI never really see the 3.75 inch figures anywhere where I live I only see them in boots and toys r us and the figures they have are the old 3.75 inch figure waves.So I always have to order them online and it is very annoying.
Ian
May 21st, 2015 - 11:33pmThe diamond classic remind me of the US figures. Why not the classic series. I didn’t think those i mentioned were examples, we just don’t know, I hope the Ainley Master comes out in his proper outfit, I and many others have wanted it for years.
ASTER
May 21st, 2015 - 7:58pmIf they bring out a 12th Doctor and Missy for this Collector Series in 5″, I will cry with happiness ! Who’s with me ? 😀
PedroPete
May 21st, 2015 - 8:18pmMe!
Anonymous
May 26th, 2015 - 3:25pmMe! We need more 5″ Figures!
Doctorwhofan561
May 27th, 2015 - 10:28amI completely agree and a normal Clara.
The Legend Doctor
May 27th, 2015 - 11:48amMe!!!!!!
EndlessTimelord
May 27th, 2015 - 3:43pmSeriously just 12 and Missy?! Why not foretold,rusty,cybermen,Danny,Missy,12th Doctor and much more! ;):)
The Werewolf
May 27th, 2015 - 4:28pmBecause those won’t happen in 5″
Trenzalore1502
May 28th, 2015 - 3:01amDunno about crying but I would jump up and down!
DannyTheNerd
May 21st, 2015 - 7:41pmI wonder if this means we’re seeing the 5 inch line returning? That would be cool. BTW I’m not a hater of the 3.75 line
booboo
May 21st, 2015 - 7:46pmthis was always going to be 5″, but sold through Character and perhaps other specialists
i doubt we should expect them in Argos and supermarkets , 5″ never really went away it just evolved onto a collectors market really
3.75″ is that mass market line and seems to be doing fine
booboo
May 21st, 2015 - 7:20pmso is this confirmation the the “black series” is going ahead
the astronaut of death
May 21st, 2015 - 7:23pmcan you explain the black series?
booboo
May 21st, 2015 - 7:28pma collectors series of figures, classic and new, with a range of accessories and more expensive but no need for variants
I don’t know if that’s what this is about or if the original idea has changed
watch this space
Ian
May 21st, 2015 - 7:31pmThe black series is what the Star Wars 6 ” figures are known as. They come in a black box, detailed with accessories. Al Dewar mentioned a while back we would see in 5″ Tegan , Sarah, Jamie, Ainley Master in proper outfit and classic Silurian. Seeing is believing lol.
booboo
May 21st, 2015 - 7:39pmweren’t those just examples
yes Black series is just a “reference” on a similar idea
Personally i think they should call it Diamond Classic Series , but then that’s because I invented it
Dalek Smith
May 21st, 2015 - 8:17pmThat’s actually a pretty cool name booboo, I don’t mind them calling it “Black Series” but that’s only because I’m a huge fan of the Star Wars Black Series, anybody else collect them?
DoctorDan Alsop
April 2nd, 2015 - 10:11amThese small figures do look ok, but I would much rather they return to the 5″ figures as they are so superior.
booboo
April 2nd, 2015 - 10:14amthey wont go back to something the mass market retailers dont want.
Renegade86
March 27th, 2015 - 9:30amI’m personally really excited about these figures, the Daleks especially! The one thing I’m really hoping for is a re-sculpt of the Imperial Daleks. I know that will never happen in 5 inch but in the 3.75 inch that would look amazing!
Anonymous
March 26th, 2015 - 10:33pmI’m not sure if this is right but I heard somewhere that we were only getting the war doctor in 5″. Regardless I think these are all looking great.
Sam Richard Bentley
March 26th, 2015 - 10:35pmI haven’t heard it anywhere, but there’s a niggling in the back of my head that’s saying we won’t get one in 3.75″. Can’t say why I feel it… I just feel like it won’t happen.
thereal doctor
March 26th, 2015 - 9:46pmeven without the paint, its a very good likeness.
hope this means the war doc is on the way
toptimelord
March 26th, 2015 - 12:07pmThat is one superb McGann figure!
DS
March 31st, 2015 - 2:37pmPlease can we have the Night of the doctor 8th doctor in the 5 inch format
Cyberman Bill
March 31st, 2015 - 4:51pmDS? Who are you asking?
booboo
March 31st, 2015 - 5:06pmWhoever might be reading
Cyberman Bill
April 8th, 2015 - 10:19amDS……. You’re asking the wrong person
Destroyer of Worlds
March 26th, 2015 - 6:37am8th Doctor CONFIRMED
War Doctor ????????????
9th Doctor ?????????????
The Ninth Doctor
March 25th, 2015 - 9:48pmAt long last another McGann figure !!!
DS
March 31st, 2015 - 2:38pmThe detail is great and we need it in 5″ scale
The Missing Doctor
March 25th, 2015 - 8:59pmWe need the 5″ inch scale back there was just so much detail in there work from 2005 and 2012 but now whats happened the only way I may be convinced the the 3.75″ is if they re-release of the figures that they do but focus more on the Head sculpts of Matt Smith, David Tennant but more importantly Jenna Coleman as they looked nothing like them but until that day im sorry but i am hoping to see a full return to the 5 inch scale once and for all
booboo
March 25th, 2015 - 9:06pmyour going to be hoping for a long time then
they are not going to return to something mass market retailers wont buy
Cyberman Bill
March 25th, 2015 - 9:49pmAgain with the 5″.!!!!!! It’s gone!! It’s not coming back. It wasn’t making money. The line of figures is now 3.75″! If you don’t like them, you don’t have to buy them. I’m just happy that we get any Doctor Who figures at all! Please Stop whining about 5″ and just be happy with what we got
Cyberman Bill
March 25th, 2015 - 9:51pmI agree that the detail was better with the 5″, but if people aren’t buying them, stores won’t carry them
GuyTheZygon
March 25th, 2015 - 10:58pmThe
5″
WiLL
return…
😀
The Missing Doctor
March 26th, 2015 - 9:51amFirst of all i am not whining about the 3.75″ the detail on them are Fantastic on none humanoid figures (eg Daleks, Cybermen, Zygons, skovox blitzer, ect) but CO need to work harder on the detail of figures such as 10th, 11th, 12th Doctors and Clara on both the detail of the faces and even the Facial sculpts them selves. That is the reason on why im not keen on them, there not a bad idea at all but they just need to focus more on the facial sculpts then re-release the figures that had bad reviews not just from but from others who agree.
booboo
March 26th, 2015 - 10:00amI would agree some of the early figures were not brilliant, but the 2nd Clara sculpt and 10th doctor I have no issue at all with, and i thing Amy looks better than her 5″ figure to be honest.
The 11th is been and gone so i doubt they will go back over that
Dean Wells
March 26th, 2015 - 2:27pm3.75 scale are generally awful. Started collecting but they looked so dire next to my 5 scale collection (particularly the Capaldi effort which could have been anyone in a black coat) I gave up, gave all the 3.75s to my Grandson, will concentrate on picking up the harder to get 5 inch figures and building up that collection.
booboo
March 26th, 2015 - 2:32pmyou give to your grandson things that you think are awful?
The Missing Doctor
March 26th, 2015 - 8:05pmbooboo i agree with you about the amy pond face sculpt on the 3.75″ figure being better than the 5″ scale it is and tbh i may even be tempted to pick one up but i will see how the new wave looks and if they focus more on the face sculpts they may finally win me over but on if the face sculpts improve this year
Alex The Geek
March 27th, 2015 - 5:59amYou all keep saying how great the detail was on the 5” figures but it has never been perfect. Look at some of the earliest figures (like Rose who looks nothing like Billie) that range got more detailed as time went on so why can’t 3.75″?
Anonymous
March 27th, 2015 - 4:09pmMy Grandson doesn’t find them awful. He’s a 6 year old child who even loves the toys out of crackers. If it’s related to Doctor Who he’ll love it. I however am an adult who can plainly see – and I’m sure we would all admit it, but don’t have a choice – no matter how you try to convince yourself, the 3.75″ figures aren’t a patch on the 5″.
booboo
March 27th, 2015 - 4:27pmthese are not aimed at adults an never were
they are nearly half the size and half the price of the 5″ figures
how could they possibly be the same
Anonymous
March 27th, 2015 - 10:31pmI think that it’s good to have 5” figures if you’re planning on giving them a purpose like stop motion animation or something or having a collecters edition of something, but I think the newer 3.75 range is progressing in detail, I just think that when the change was made it had a “humble beginnings” phase especially since the show was getting into it’s 50th and a transition to the 12th Doctor was well on the way and about now I think CO could just on the brink of smashing the atom of success.
Anonymous
March 28th, 2015 - 6:59pmWell Booboo you’ve made the point perfectly. Why I, as an adult collector of everything Who related, am not collecting them.
DS
March 31st, 2015 - 2:44pmWow, alot of debate over the scale.
I think many realise that 3.75 scale is the scale now.
However, there are many collectors who would appreciate the occasional release of 5 inch figures particularly one off’s that will enhance their collection.
E.g. The Night of the doctor 8th Doctor
TV Movie 7th Doctor and Master
Missy etc etc.
I don’t think people are looking for spurious releases of 5 inch figures that will not sell but rather components for collections like the 5 inch War Doctor.
Conversely, this would also be good to see in the 3.75 scale.
Ultimatewhovian2000
April 4th, 2015 - 10:10amBooboo about the 11th Doctor thing I bet you now in wave 5 we will see the 11th Doctor in space suit they are doing 12 and 10 11 worn it so it pretty much confirmed.
Also I like both scales they are good in their own ways 🙂
AlphaOmega
March 25th, 2015 - 7:38pmHoping that’s the Saucer Commander Dalek in the middle :3
The Werewolf
March 25th, 2015 - 9:07pmThey’ll probably use the sculpt for the Saucer Commander, regular ‘drone’ and the Supreme, though not all at once. Get as much out of that sculpt as they can, like they did with the Genesis/Gold Supreme/Mutant Scoop/Evil Guards/Revolution Daleks
Chris Aldridge
March 25th, 2015 - 7:36pmLoving the 8th Doctor figure, would definitely get it in a 5″ though. Still waiting for a 5″ Capaldi…
The Legend Doctor
March 25th, 2015 - 8:02pmWaiting patiently i hope.
DS
March 31st, 2015 - 2:52pmA 5 inch version would attract a guaranteed purchase from myself, please let it be so.
The Legend Doctor
March 25th, 2015 - 6:41pmIs that one with the bigger bit at the end of the eyestalk the one from Planet of The Daleks?
The Legend Doctor
March 25th, 2015 - 6:42pmFar left
The Werewolf
March 25th, 2015 - 6:44pmYes, it is the Supreme Council Dalek from “Planet of the Daleks”
DannyTheNerd
March 25th, 2015 - 6:16pmYAYAYYAYAYAYA
matt9982
March 25th, 2015 - 6:15pmThat looks absolutely amazing!!! Definitely buying the 8th Doctor and most likely one of the Daleks too 🙂
jamie
March 25th, 2015 - 6:04pm8th Doctor looks amazing!
Melkur
March 25th, 2015 - 5:59pmI hope they don’t mess up the paint job for the final release, it can really make or break a 3.75 figure.
jamie brennan
March 25th, 2015 - 5:53pmwow this is so cool whens is it coming if u know
ILoveSonicScrewdrivers
March 25th, 2015 - 5:28pmI know I’m odd when I say this, but I’m actually starting to prefer the 3.75 scale
~the TARDIS~ 12600
March 25th, 2015 - 5:39pmI know how you feel. These are amazing and each figure is getting better 🙂
Anonymous
March 25th, 2015 - 6:21pmThey are growing on me and I accept why they have moved to that scale…but I do look forward to the UT 5 inch releases…and my bank manager is happy that not so many are released these days 🙂
Tjmov
March 25th, 2015 - 5:20pm8th doctor in 5″ scale would have been so much better!
Vortexsurfer
March 25th, 2015 - 5:26pmThe sculpts are likely digital, so now they’ve done this, it’s actually more likely for them to just scale it up to a 5″ figure further down the line.
Anonymous
March 25th, 2015 - 5:30pmIt just has to be a UT exclusive soon, doesn’t it? We would go mad for it. I almost paid £75 for a custom on ebay but was out bif…it went for £85 in the end.
The figure can be made by using Capt John Harts legs, and bare torse with the waistcoat of Prof Yana and the coat and arms of the 6th Doctor…all repainted of course…then you have to sculpt the collar. You could use the War Doctor scarf too.
TheWhovianVortex
March 25th, 2015 - 5:03pmWoah
DannyTheNerd
March 25th, 2015 - 6:17pmWoah in a good way or woah in bad way?
StetsonDoctor
March 25th, 2015 - 4:46pmOh yes, they look brilliant!
