April 30th, 2020 - 10:25amHello I’m just wondering if anyone has heard of an updated new release date for general sale for this issue? With the shops shut I was going to order through eaglemoss when it came in srock (I’ve had problems pre ordering from them before) but if the time lord set 2 Is sold out already that’s quite concerning. Thanks!

March 7th, 2020 - 12:52pmAre they still going to make the Macra?
Anonymous
March 20th, 2020 - 10:38pmOoo I’d love to see a macra, animated version or original prop, some other specials that would be nice are some tardis exteriors, fendahl, drashig, statue of liberty weeping angel, skithra, myrka, monk statue and saturnyne

March 5th, 2020 - 6:06pmi wonder if there maybe a padmasambava figurine as well to go with the latest yeti figurine sometime depending how easy it is to do
Andrew Townsend
March 5th, 2020 - 4:45amIn a reply to Gareth you can never have enough daleks and cybermen.everyone has their own opinion but I think the ratio is just about right as they are the two most recognisable monsters In doctor who. Also yes we do need other classic adversaries too.Just MORE daleks and cybermen please Neil.
Crosby
March 11th, 2020 - 6:24pmCybermen yes but no Daleks I am so board of Daleks every couple of seasons yes but not every season in the classic series the last 3 Doctor’s only came across once and 2 & 4 only twice
Graeme Monteith
March 3rd, 2020 - 10:47pmHave we not already had a Yeti Special Edition? New figures couldn’t possibly be that hard to to find for issue. Also we seem to receive too many Daleks and Cybermen. A bit of originality and more Classic figures wouldn’t go amiss.
Crosby
March 11th, 2020 - 6:26pmYes your right Graeme
Anonymous
March 2nd, 2020 - 6:35pmDo you think they will make the new series 12 cybermen variants, such as the lone cyberman, and the other two cyber warriors?
Basil Funkenstein
March 2nd, 2020 - 7:30pmWe’ll probably get Ashad/The Lone Cyberman from The Haunting of Villa Diodata and then the new cyber design and the Cyber master/CyberTimelord from Ascension/The Timeless Children.
Crosby
February 28th, 2020 - 9:59pmI’m still waiting for the second dalek plinth too as I optioned into them rare Daleks I think we should’ve had another rare dalek too by now but there can’t be many Daleks left to release
dazzleshell
March 2nd, 2020 - 1:43pmRare Dalek 15 is bronze dalek with different shaped plunger bit from ‘The Solen Earth’. Due in next delivery this week.
As for Gold plinth we are all still in the dark.

Chris Howarth
February 28th, 2020 - 9:16amAdmittedly this is my second favourite Yeti design, but I’m still chuffed we’re getting it.
Stuart10
February 28th, 2020 - 12:13amWhat about a professor lazarus monster?
Doug
February 27th, 2020 - 11:38pmWhat about a Movellan
Chris a
March 8th, 2020 - 1:53pmI’m all for more classic monsters let’s have the black guardian,melkur figures please
Nick
February 27th, 2020 - 11:28pmI would love to see a Primord.
prototype dalek
February 27th, 2020 - 9:11pmSo glad we have this one coming out. Love the orignal yeti design

February 27th, 2020 - 8:32pmHang on. We’ve had a Yeti Special?
Duncan
February 27th, 2020 - 8:45pmThe yeti from Web of fear has been released. This one is from the abominable snowman.

February 28th, 2020 - 9:41amI may be alone on this but I think it would have been nice for collectors, considering the cost of these, to have been given a brand new figure rather than a different version of a character we’ve had before.
Alan Silvester
February 28th, 2020 - 1:06pmI agree with you. Considering the cost and the multitude of other monsters, I would prefer a brand new figure and not another variation. Same with all the Cybermen and Daleks. It’s getting lazy – errors in the magazines, still no sign of dalek plinth paid for months ago, delivery packaging a joke (my magazines are always creased). Hate to say it, but I think it has run its course and should stop at 200, before it goes completely downhill. Sorry, my opinion.

February 29th, 2020 - 1:06amAnonymous aren’t you the guy who shouts down fans who criticise eaglemoss for their output ? Seems a bit odd you’re complaining now ?
dazzleshell
March 1st, 2020 - 11:01amFor me the more daleks the better. That’s the main reason I subscribed. For the Cybermen as long as the pose is different, even if slightly it is okay too.
As for the specials they are optional so if you don’t like one just don’t order it. And for those thinking it has run it’s course. Why not unsubscribe and buy just the figurines you want direct from fp or eaglemoss.

March 3rd, 2020 - 9:45pmWhy don’t they do a fan collectors most wanted list? That way they do away with the unwanted ones.
Fledershrew
February 27th, 2020 - 6:47pmThat really is such a good paint job, and the detail and pose too… So glad that Eaglemoss continue to release figurines that delight die hard fans of Doctor Who. Wonder when we’ll see an animation release of this story from the BBC? The Great Intelligence in this story was creepy from the audio I’ve heard.
Negative Matter
February 29th, 2020 - 1:03amIf theyre still there the telesnaps were on the BBCs Who site.

February 27th, 2020 - 6:44pmThe yeti is superb.
Mrs Croot
February 27th, 2020 - 5:49pmI know it’s not relevant here but it might not be answered anywhere else.
Forbidden planet says the series 12 figure come out tomorrow. Forbidden planet is different than forbidden planet international, so does anyone know when they come out there as that’s all we have in Belfast.
It would be much appreciated.
The Ergon
February 27th, 2020 - 5:11pmI,ve just seen the youtube picture this was obviously taken from and its almost exactly as shown except for the visible sphere casing in the chest isn,t on this.
The Ergon
February 27th, 2020 - 5:14pmCould they add a sphere with this model?
Negative Matter
February 29th, 2020 - 1:41pmGood idea or even a pyramid of spheres.
The Ergon
March 2nd, 2020 - 8:01pmIs that the same pyramid which looked like only the top sphere looked detachable.
bob hellier
February 27th, 2020 - 4:59pmnice to see an abominable snowman yeti hopefully the abominable snowmen may be an animated dvd one day not just be able to hear it on cd i wonder if one day we maybe able to watch cds the latest technology
Doug Who
February 27th, 2020 - 4:34pmAnother beauty! Can’t wait for this one. Just the pose I was hoping they would choose. It will look great paired with the ‘Web of Fear’ version.
Still wish they’d have done the Krynoid as a special even if it did look like a ‘green bag’!
philip shaw
February 27th, 2020 - 4:38pmThey could still do a Krynoid man, then spray the model orange and voila…an axon, or this can be done the other way round as the programme makers did!
Negative Matter
February 27th, 2020 - 6:43pmThere are two versions of the Krynoid which would be preferable – the version covered in suckers which kills Dunbar and the monstrosity on Chase’s house. As for the Axon the very tentacled monstrosity would be my choice.
Doug Who
February 28th, 2020 - 1:21pmI still hold out hope that they may yet do a version of the Krynoid. I know Neil said they tried and it didn’t look good (it would be interesting to see the prototype and seeing the Pting one showed exactly why it wouldn’t work!) but I think the humanoid version would work well and yes as Philip says a modified version could be used for the Axon monster!
‘Seeds of Doom’ is just too good a story not to be represented in the collection.
Anonymous
March 2nd, 2020 - 9:38amBefore this collection runs it’s course, I’d hope that every story is represented with at least one figure. Even if it’s just the Doctor or Companion in a different outfit compared to what they normally wear. Although my preference is always going to veer more towards any monsters or villains if possible.
