August 19th, 2020 - 9:58amYes I agree the Silurians and Sea Devils looked their best during the Pertwee Era.
In my opinion, the two figurines of the Third Doctor are some of the best figurines in this collection. Omega from Arc of Infinity and the original Silurian are also first class.

August 19th, 2020 - 9:54amBrilliant news!!! Another figurine of my most wanted list, thank you. Stygron / Kraal figurine and Vogan / Vorus figurine are still at the top of my list followed by Hieronymus and Movellan figurines, any of these (if not all!) will be brilliant releases please.

August 19th, 2020 - 10:02amI hope it’s a sculpt with the helmet, otherwise, these sea-devils look so naff without it…

August 19th, 2020 - 10:13amnot keen on putting not final images on the main site but here we go

August 19th, 2020 - 10:35amI really want to see foamasi, tractators and solonian mutts added to the collection as they’ve got funky designs and are more obscure figurines
Nick
August 19th, 2020 - 11:19amThank you so much for sharing those images Booboo. Wow, really impressed with both of those figurines!!!

August 20th, 2020 - 11:17amYesterday, was browsing on some customising sites. someones already made a brilliant Foamasi. Looks like 5inch character options scale complete with all articulation (don’t know how they do them so good) Theres also an abzorbaloff. Impressive with full articulation.

August 19th, 2020 - 7:16amthank you for the sea devil warrior from warriors of the deep to go along with the silurian and original sea devils from 1972 hopefully the sea devils will return to doctor who at some time
the ergon
August 19th, 2020 - 9:53amThe samurai style look was an ill concieved idea along with the silurian outer body breast plates and the third eye which became a flashing communicator rather than its use for defence, subjugation or kill mode. Somehow and for all the wrong reasons became iconic for this story no matter how badly it was produced. Bring back the netting and the turtle face look. same with silurians, i,ll always love the Pertwee versions best. Will this have a tilted head?
the ergon
August 19th, 2020 - 9:59amNeed a myrka SE to complete this story.
Savo79
August 19th, 2020 - 11:04amMyrka SE with as seen on screen authentic unfinished wet paint. I’d love the zygon sea monster, the sarasan too.
the ergon
August 19th, 2020 - 12:20pmThe skarasen head peaking over the wall. A large scale version might be problematic.
the ergon
August 19th, 2020 - 3:06pmI,m not sure whether Saladin the saracen is on the immediate to do list Savo79. King John isn,t much of a fan of saracens either and sings as much on the subject with the lute.
Savo79
August 19th, 2020 - 10:36pmYEA, I meant skarasen but i put sarasan not saracen. I would by a figurine of either though, still hoping The Crusade gets animated or found.
the ergon
August 20th, 2020 - 12:59amI was just joking around savo79. i,d love a skarasen.
Coleman
August 21st, 2020 - 10:48amAnother (I’ll conceived idea) as you mentioned in the post above, would be Morbius monster,
Absolutely shocking (although some seem to like it).
the ergon
August 21st, 2020 - 11:25amYes what was solon thinking?
Savo79
August 21st, 2020 - 11:03pmAll joking gratefully received. I know a few of the old monsters were fairly naff looking but I’d still love one on my shelf. When I look at my little figurines it instantly takes me back to the episode. I think the short falls in effects make the viewer engage their imagination and that makes the experience all the better. Also as far as specials go Bessie is my No.1 wish.

August 22nd, 2020 - 11:25amErgon, the Sea Devils’ samurai-inspired costume had a ton of thought.
Michael Briant said he put his Sea Devils in netting at the last minute because he thought they looked naked. So he had them dressed in fishing netting. Because they come from the sea. Which is where fish come from.
We’re agreed that the neck section could have been sturdier.
And Savo79, we’d love to grant your wish. As always, I can’t and don’t want to make any promises. Who wouldn’t want Bessie?
the ergon
August 22nd, 2020 - 5:20pmyes but the netting idea by Briant, even if it was inadvertently thought up at the eleventh hour was simplistic and worked. The samurai outfits seemed incongruous and seemed dressed this way to justify the ‘Warriors’ of the title. I don,t hate the look but like most of that production, it just wasn,t thought through and was rushed, with what could have been a very enjoyable cold war style Base under siege.
P.S- i still want the figurine.
