Second Look at Robert Harrop Sontaran Figurine

Second Look at Robert Harrop Figurines Sontaran

Robert Harrop Figurines have released the first prototype images of their 1:12th scale ‘Sontaran’ being sculpted by Mike Rogers.

This piece is Commander Linx from the episode ‘The Time Warrior’ from the early 70’s.

Following on from this they will be starting work on an Ice Warrior along with the Time Lords, Daleks and Cybermen…

Prices, production numbers and any collectors club information have yet to be established but they hope to have items up for order during the last quarter of this year.

You can follow developments and see more images on their forum or facebook page.

      Maybe it’s the way he’s standing, he’s kind of in a squatting position with the knees sticking out a little. That could be why. Otherwise it looks fine to me.

    Robert Harrop are excellent. Visited their Showroom near Ironbridge a few years back. Quality merchandise is a guarantee. I have their Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet.

    I like it, still want to see the finished painted version but I don’t see any reason why it won’t be joining my collection.

      yes this is the wax sculpt the moulds are made from but there other work looks excellent

      I hope this series builds into the collectors range many people have wanted for years

      I wish them every success

      How much do you think one of these will cost

    • VespiformsSting

      May 18th, 2014 - 3:16pm

      I buy a fair bit of Harrops stuff and my guess would be around 70 quid give or take 20 quid either way…..the Gerry Anderson figurines (which are just a bit smaller) are usually priced at about 45…their Anderson space craft and vehicles between 70 and 100…but the way I see it is that sontaran is going to easily make its money back especially if they do a limited run….

    May 15th, 2014 - 5:17pm

    To say these are meant to be around the same scale as the Character Options figures, they’re not amazing…

    • VespiformsSting

      May 16th, 2014 - 7:19pm

      Seriously -the figures are going to be taller than Character options (Lynx is compared alongside one of the Harrops anderson figures on their site) and they’ll be on a base so no more ‘one figure falls over with the domino effect coming into play’….I don’t know how anyone can say that sontaran isnt detailed…

      You dont work for CO do you jaffa ??

    So these figures don’t have any articulation in the limbs, they’re more like statuettes then action figures.

      The ones that say “excellent” aren’t really Cybermen either, they are imposters. Real Cybermen may not say “delete”, but they don’t even know what “excellent” means.

      Sontarans however are awesome.

    Does anyone know how much membership is to the Robert Harrop club, Bronze, silver, gold. Didn’t know if it was worth joining as you get 10% off any orders, and I plan to buy a fair few of them so the discount might add up.

    How detailed are they usually? (like 0 being that prototype to 10 being the little hairs on his chin πŸ˜† )
    It looks like a promising figure, I’m just worried about the price. What’s the usual price for these Robert Harrop figures?

    Reply
    • booboo

      May 14th, 2014 - 4:44pm

      depends on the type and quantity, these are smaller than 1st mentioned, about 6″

      some sell for Β£50 others (where there are only 200) sell for Β£70 – if they make a lot could be less, just dont know

      these are a collectors item though

      as there other ranges are very specific and many are cartoon characters its a job to tell how these will end up looking, we will need to see one really

      May 14th, 2014 - 4:49pm

      Thanks for explaining πŸ™‚ I’m probably going to have to get at least one (if I can) but it would be one of the less limited ones.

    The are going to be highly collectable items which onnly increase in value not only among who fans but among Harrop collectors…Look at the prices other items from Harrops ranges on ebay…the Thunderbird 5 model sells for in excess of 500 quid now…figures very quickly increase in price…. youre not buying a ten a penny character options figure here…

    Full statues great, was worried they might be just busts or cut short. Count me in. this could end up as one of the best Doctor Who ranges out there.

    Hope a console is on the cards, preferably one that will fit in with 5″. These are made in house i think so hopefully its within reach.

    Also some craft, would love a Jagaroth ship diorama, Bessie definitely

      One of the first things they said after obtaining the license is that they’ll be doing figures not often touched by other companies. I therefore think there’s a high chance that your wish may come true. πŸ™‚

      varies quite a lot depending on release quantities, guess would be the Β£39 – Β£49 mark, i doubt there will be made in huge quantities

      May 14th, 2014 - 4:13pm

      Personally Im not expecting much change from 70 quid and would expect to pay anything up to 100 quid a time for harrops stuff…. replicas of ships and vehicles from who would be well worth it though. Well worth it !!
