Dr Who Figurine Collection #52 Handbot
Issue 52 is available to order individually from www.forbiddenplanet.com
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.
Please check www.dw-figurines.com for more information or visit their facebook page.
Selected back issues are available in the UK from www.forbiddenplanet.com
Selected back issues are available in the USA from www.entertainmentearth.com

August 16th, 2015 - 9:58pmI was very disappointed with the Handbot figurine that I was sent, it had fault where the painter had painted over a hair on the face of the figurine making it look unsightly, thankfully customer support will be sending me a replacement.

August 16th, 2015 - 6:11pmI’m not the same ‘anonymous’ but we also needed a minotaur, headless monk, female peg doll, AGMGTW cyberleader, a ganger or two, old amy, dorium, madame kaverian, madame vastra, jenny, while we’re at it we might as well ask for a Hitler figure ( after all, we already have churchill)

August 16th, 2015 - 7:13pmI agree, they always have so much potential for great figures. Look what series 6 figures we could have had:
GITD Siren
Pirate hat Doctor
Gangers
Madame Kovarian
Dorium
Headless Monks
Antibodies
Peg Dolls
Minotaur
Handbot
Old Amy
Eye patch variant Doctor, River, Rory, Amy
Wooden King and Queen
Or take series seven for example:
Asylum Daleks
Dinosaurs
The Gunslinger
Shakri
Snowmen
Spoonhead 11th Doctor
The Vigil, Mummy and Merry
Time Zombies
The Paternoster Gang
The Great Intelligence, Whispermen
Monsters from Trenzalore set
Or series 8:
Half Faced Man
Rusty
Knights
Orson and Danny Pink
The Teller
The Mummy
Missy
Santa and Dream Crabs
And just look ahead to the possibilities in series 9…

August 16th, 2015 - 10:40pmSeries 6 was really forgettable and I do not think it should be remembered in figures more than it already has. It needs to be forgotten as soon as possible in my opinion.
Some of the Series 7 and 8 stuff are good though, (but not the stuff from Rings of Akhaten), so it would be good. But you have to remember that Doctor Who toys are not as popular any more, so they kind of have to cut down on what they can release, unfortunately. It’s a pity because (with some exceptions, as noted above), there is some interesting stuff that will just not get done.
And that is one of the reasons I love Eaglemoss, look Half-face Man, the Teller, etc. And all in the same scale too (apart from the larger specials).

August 17th, 2015 - 2:19amI agree, we need more series 6, 7 & 8 figures, but definitely no Hitler, that would be too controversial but I would love to see a handbot and Minotaur, they would be amazing

August 23rd, 2015 - 1:04pmI really really want figures of the Half-Face Man, the Teller and the Foretold in the 5″ scale. They are some of the best original monsters we’ve seen in the show for ages in my opinion and it would be great to have really good figures of them to go with the upcoming 12th Doctor and Clara figures.
Also, a Doctor Who action figure of Adolf Hitler…somehow I don’t think that would go down so well.

August 16th, 2015 - 2:16pmNice enough reproduction of the handbot – but not really anything I desperately needed.

August 18th, 2015 - 6:15amYeah, i feel that they should maybe choose some better liked monsters before they do the handbots.
