Figurine Collection (Test Area) 05 Silurian Warrior
Figurine Collection (Test Area) 05 Silurian Warrior
This is the final test figure and future issues are suspended until further notice.
Celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who this fantastic new figurine collection. The series draws from every era show and includes all eleven versions of the Doctor plus his greatest monsters.
All the figurines are carefully produced in 1:21 scale, and cast in a specially formulated metallic resin before being painted by hand and individually numbered.
The specially formulated resin and high quality sculpting allow the figurines to reproduce an incredible level of detail right down to the mesh in the Silurian Warrior’s uniform and the controls on Davros’s console.
Each figurine recreates a specific moment from the TV series in loving detail and every sculpt is based on detailed study of the original production photography, props and drawings.
The collection features several different versions of the Daleks and Cybermen allowing you to trace their evolution over the years.
This is the definitive Doctor Who figurine collection.

April 29th, 2013 - 5:57pmUpdate on the collection
“Ive heard from a reliable ‘ source ‘ that EM will be making an ‘ announcement ‘ on this collection within the next 4 – 6 weeks ……. looks like it’ll go national a lot sooner than expected. Also heard there’s been a few changes re : release order & packaging ; which is going to put the price up on the trial figs.
Watch this space !”

I hope packaging refers to how subscribers will revive their issues so that they do not arrive damaged.
booboo
April 29th, 2013 - 6:41pmhope so, i think it will build up into a great collection, the test release seem to only contain “safe” figures.

April 18th, 2013 - 1:45pmGot issues 2 and 3 today but the magazine is all bent and creased at the bottom which I am not happy about. Is anybody elses like this.
Typical as customer services replied today to my email saying
“Dear ,
Thanks for your email. We have just been informed by the publishers that it was indeed a test subscription with the view of it going nationally later this year. We will keep you informed of when that will happen. I do apologise that you were misinformed but that was the information we had at that time.
Kind regards
Arlene”

April 18th, 2013 - 1:46pmhavnet had mine
booboo
April 18th, 2013 - 2:10pmedit, just got issues 2-3, completely bent
cjayp33
April 18th, 2013 - 4:36pmI have emailed customer services about the issue and suggest you do the same, as if enough people contact them, they will have to do something. Mine were bent bottom left and thus crumpled some of the pages. Was not happy.

April 22nd, 2013 - 3:54pmSurprised to receive iss.2&3 at the weekend. Both magazines had damaged spines,knocked/folder over corners,bottom edge/top edge creased. Iss. 2 had small(1-2mm) tear along the right hand edge. Figures intact, but the individual packaging also damaged (corner of one was split apart). Don’t know if this is due to being sent out in thin plastic cover or they were in less than perfect condition when they were despatched.
Hope the national release is sent out boxed/better protected.
booboo
April 22nd, 2013 - 4:00pmseems to be a common theme
you got the folder?
one would like to think those who have paid and subscribed will be resent the first issue free of charge when the national release arrives (especially as the order/magazine may have changed by then)
cjayp33
April 22nd, 2013 - 4:29pmI hope we get resent all issues when/it goes national.
I emailed customer service (about my bent magazines due to way its packaged) with pictures attached as proof, asking if there is anything they can do, to stop it happening for future deliveries/the national launch. They replied and are ordering replacements of issues 2/3 (free of charge I hope) and have emailed the warehouse to check the condition before they are sent. If you email them they might do the same.
One solution is to put cardboard inside the issue like issue 5 in the shops.
Bow Tie wearing Stranger
April 26th, 2013 - 9:29amNo, no folder or any other items. Not even sure if issues 4 & 5 will follow either.
Considering how popular (profitable to the BBC) Doctor Who is +the forthcoming 50th anniversary +how long Eaglemoss has been producing partworks +how long database factory have been running subscriptions on behalf of publishers.
Surely they should have ironed out any problems like this by now?
Suggestions anyone on how to minimise the chances of damage(subscribers view) but without adding to the postage costs (publishers view)?

booboo
April 14th, 2013 - 11:58amas part of the set i would think so
Moodbeam
April 13th, 2013 - 10:19pmI can’t wait until this is released nationwide. I think it’s a great collection to start for those (like myself) who have no figures thus far. Gonna take up the full subscription and get the entire set.
cjayp33
April 14th, 2013 - 4:45pmSame, I have no figurines, as was not interested, but these look detailed and are more collectable and series, and not toys that you play with.
The TARDIS
April 13th, 2013 - 2:17pmBooboo, do we know when these will launch properly?
booboo
April 13th, 2013 - 2:23pmno specific date only September onwards and even into 2014
Whovian
April 13th, 2013 - 1:30pmAre these figures really individually numbered?
booboo
April 13th, 2013 - 1:39pmthere is a code underneath, not sure if its individual
Anonymous
April 13th, 2013 - 2:11pmIt might be different for these, but in their previous collections they were not individually numbered, but all had a randomly generated code placed on their bases to uniquely indentify that figure design (so all the Eleventh Doctors would have the same code for instance, and there would be a different code for the Davros figures).
Bow Tie wearing Stranger
April 26th, 2013 - 9:40amBooboo (or anyone lucky enough to have all 5 figures).
Can you list the numbers on the base of each figure please?
It would be nice to know if the figures are all individually numbered or (more likely) the numbers refer to that particular design/sculpt.
May also prove useful later on when the nationwide release is published – compare back to these test pieces and see if there’s been any changes.

April 26th, 2013 - 9:43amThey are different on the duplicates i have

April 13th, 2013 - 12:20pmnot happy that subscribers have been treated like this were these are concerned, as if Issue 5 is now out and I am still waiting for issue 2 onwards….They better buck their ideas up or I will defiantly not be subscribing when the official run starts!
booboo
April 13th, 2013 - 4:27pmI am beginning to think that those who subscribed will not get anything and this was all part up the test to see what up-take they would get based on figures sold in the shops.
The Monitor
April 13th, 2013 - 5:07pmDaff, I am even waiting for issue 1 as well as the other 4.
If they were not going to honour the subscription I would have driven to Basingstoke every other week to buy it, or I would have asked very nicely people at work who live in Basingstoke.
With DWMI, I was allowed to subscribe to the test set, so was naturally delighted that after waiting 20 minutes on the end of the help line that the let me subscribe.
I even got a subscription letter.
cjayp33
April 13th, 2013 - 5:58pmI am thinking its not to test how they sell in shops, but how many people subscribed.
Bow Tie wearing Stranger
April 15th, 2013 - 11:38amTried subscribing,received a confirmation that ‘your subscription will start with issue 2″. Never received anything since then either by post or by email.Have sent four emails asking for an update.Even politely asked if they had underestimated how much interest this set of magazines/figures would generate.Not even an acknowledgement.
Magazine/figure/product levels = high.
Administration by database factory once again = leaves a lot to be desired.
I’m not going to swear – but I think my thoughts are loud enough to be picked up telepathically.
booboo
April 15th, 2013 - 11:51amsame here, seems a familiar story
jordan
April 13th, 2013 - 11:20amI would maybe like like to see general restac or DEFINETLEY see a supreme dalek ( red and gold )
cyberbeanie
April 13th, 2013 - 6:35amCan anybody please tell me if these figurines / magazine be available in Australia? They seem like a newsagency offer! TNANKS
Liam
June 6th, 2013 - 7:30amI’m hoping they will be too! Will be a huge shame to miss out on these.
Fezmeister
April 13th, 2013 - 12:53amThis one’s very nice. I would have preferred if these were released separately and in a larger scale, but I think I’ll end up buying some of these when they’re made available.
The Driver
April 12th, 2013 - 7:59pmThis is the best figure in the range ❗ I really want it ❗
timelord22

That Ice Warrior Over There
April 12th, 2013 - 1:46pmI really want to collect these. I’m going to buy a nice glass case to store them in when they are released in London in September 2013.
That Ice Warrior Over There
April 12th, 2013 - 1:48pmI was so excited about this collection I subscribed to this last month.
booboo
April 12th, 2013 - 1:52pmI’m sure all will be ok later, it has the making of a fine collection, they all look great sat on my shelf in front of me (well expect the Doctor Maybe, i hope they can improve this before national launch, the monsters are very good however)
That Ice Warrior Over There
April 12th, 2013 - 2:02pmCool.
josh smith
April 12th, 2013 - 2:26pmi only like the weeping angel and the silurion but when are the daleks being released?

April 12th, 2013 - 6:30pmThere won’t be a next issue, the next time the magazine comes out will be the proper nationwide release.
