February 28th, 2020 - 7:00pmHi Booboo,
I don’t know if your icon was made by yourself but I just thought I should say that someone on Instagram is using it. I don’t know if you care or not. Just thought I should say. Sorry if I am making a fuss over nothing…

February 28th, 2020 - 1:14pmdoes any one else think that character should bring back the 3.75 figures as they were really bringing out so many of them and they are probably easier to make so they could make more characters that way like the new master!
i am know this is a stupid comment but i just thought i would put the idea out their!
TheDoctorWhoCollector
February 28th, 2020 - 3:54pmThe figures were improving, but that cheap and nasty packaging let the side down. If the packaging was like the Star Wars or retroaction 3.75 figures with photograph pictures on the cardboard etc.

February 28th, 2020 - 4:45pmYou have to compare the two scales lifespans to one another, the 5 inch line ran for the longest and had the most releases of single card and figure packs. It also had sub-line that focused on the classic era of the series which saw a good few dalek sets released and other hard to find sets.
The 3.75 line had nothing close to that, though the selection of figures were impressive and it did try its hand at doing classic figures the scale did not have the same popularity with fans and the constantly changing packaging most likely didn’t help either. Not only that the offerings of figures came out far slower compared to the constant slew of figures we got back during the Tennant and Smith eras.
The conclusion I personally draw is that the BBC are playing it safe, they know what sells and are trying to kick start the figure line once again. You could consider the release of the Dalek and classic figure packs as them testing the waters and we all know how successful that was. I don’t see the 3.75 scale returning as it just does not make sense from a business standpoint

February 28th, 2020 - 11:33amSo on FP the Recon Dalek has been delayed to 2nd March and the others to the 13th March.
On the other hand the Eaglemoss Big Finish set arrived today

February 27th, 2020 - 3:01pmPlaced my order with Character Options because the site said they are in stock and then 5 minutes later got an email saying they are delayed until the 9th March as the container has been held up…

February 27th, 2020 - 4:06pmSlightly annoying, I wonder if this is the case with other stores like FP, Argos and Amazon

February 27th, 2020 - 1:45pmNew 5inch figures are available to order on character now.
Jamie D
February 27th, 2020 - 2:52pmYeah I cancelled my Forbidden Planet order and got them all from Character instead. Much cheaper with the free postage and should get them sooner as long as they dispatch them quickly!
Mick
February 27th, 2020 - 3:08pmJust had an email from character saying that the figures aren’t in stock and are stuck in a container somewhere and the earliest they will get them is 9th march. Do I want to cancel my order?

February 27th, 2020 - 4:00pmWow that was quick! Only the recon Dalek is available from them now!

The Ergon
February 26th, 2020 - 9:25pmIf eaglemoss have problems with some of the paint spray applications on some of their more trickier pieces, wouldn,t it be easier to just use stickers as they did with The emojibot? The Black/ white internal column for Firsts console being one case in point.
Anonymous
February 27th, 2020 - 3:16pmYes but they don’t look very good or age well.
The Ergon
February 27th, 2020 - 5:35pmI thought the emojibot worked well enough, imagine the paint job there, also it would save on complaints.
Doctor Stu
February 26th, 2020 - 7:47pmCompletely random thought but… If the Doctor and a companion goes to somewhere like France and there’s somebody there who’s speaking actual English to them instead of French, Then how would they tell? With the whole TARDIS translation matrix. Because the Doc would be speaking French and so would the person but it would sound like English. And then say the person says ‘excuse me I can’t understand you because I don’t speak French’. How would the Doctor then switch to English from French. If she’s already speaking French, but the viewer is hearing English and the guy is hearing French.
That’s a wibbly wobbly sentence and I respect anybody who can make sense out of that absolute mess of a paragraph
Anonymous
February 27th, 2020 - 4:00pmDon’t think about it stu! The rules of translation have always been dodgy. In four to doomsday why can’t the doctor understand what the aboriginal chief is saying? Why doesn’t the tardis translate it for him. Tegan seems to be able to understand a language that was 50,000 years before her time In the reign of terror is Stirling speaking French or English in the last episode when he reveals his identity? Best thing is to just accept it makes no sense and forget about it!
Anonymous
February 27th, 2020 - 4:03pmThere is an argument that the doctor is always speaking her native language but everyone hears their own. And yes, that makes no sense either.

February 26th, 2020 - 7:02pmI was just wondering about something concerning the end of Evolution of the Daleks, what did the Doctor end up doing with the corpses of Thay and Jast and the empty shell of Sec?

February 24th, 2020 - 12:18pmAmazon are at it again! Noticed that the new book, the runaway tardis by Kim Smith is priced £12.79 for the hardback. There is no paperback listing. But I’ve ordered it from waterstones in hardcover at £6.99. Now if you go on Amazon and go into the authors name the book comes up as a £6.99 hardcover that doesn’t show up anywhere in the main listings! I buy classic crime books and Amazon do the same thing with them. They only show the twice the price American versions of the books and not the cheaper English ones. You have to hunt for those!
Anonymous
February 24th, 2020 - 3:05pmI noticed that to! I’m wondering at the legality of this? It also mean’s every time I go on Amazon now I shall have to double-check the price.
Anonymous
February 24th, 2020 - 9:34pmI always recommend hunting around on Amazon. They can be a little underhand with the pricing.
Anonymous
February 24th, 2020 - 9:54pmOdd. I searched for the runaway TARDIS and the first item back was the hardcover version at 6.99.
Anonymous
February 25th, 2020 - 8:45amIf you search doctor who under titles it only brings up the more expensive version. I’ve just checked, put runaway tardis in title and it only brought up the expensive one as well. It may be something Amazon do to customers randomly.

Doctor Stu
February 23rd, 2020 - 12:05amWhy’s aren’t Doctor Who episodes that you can easily watch online like the cave of skulls available on dvd or BritBox? If they exist then why haven’t they been updated and put on official BBC products like britbox where they can be watched properly?
Surely they’re all bbc property
Doctor Stu
February 23rd, 2020 - 12:21pmNever mind cave of skulls still exists it was just BritBox being rubbish. It skipped from episode 1 straight to episode 5 and then I noticed episode 2 was available to watch on other online sites so got confused as to why it wasn’t on BritBox.
But it was and the app had just skipped over it for some reason

February 22nd, 2020 - 1:17pmOut of the Judoon, Dalek, Graham and Doctor figures, which should I get first as I want them all, but which are most likely to hang around and perhaps be reduced later on & which, if any, are more likely to be bought up first?
The Werewolf
February 22nd, 2020 - 4:02pmI’d recommend the Dalek first, it is mostly likely to be sold out first

The Werewolf
February 22nd, 2020 - 12:39amTo quote someone on their facebook “since 2018 BBC licensing is dealing with about 500% of the cases it had before then with about half the staff. We just have to be patient I’m afraid.”
That seems to be the cause of delay.

February 22nd, 2020 - 9:48amIts very odd. I know they said its wasn’t selling as well as they would like.
Anonymous
February 22nd, 2020 - 1:21amMy understanding from what they’ve said on Facebook is that the part of BBC Studios handling the merchandise approval had massive lay offs, and Warlord’s miniatures aren’t making a lot of money so they’ve focused elsewhere and left Warlord in the lurch.
Alfonso
February 22nd, 2020 - 6:19pmThanks I sent them an email to see if there is any further info
Alan
February 24th, 2020 - 11:17amHi. Alan from Warlord here. Just to reassure everyone, we have about ten sets lined up for this year. Several are stuck in approvals, that’s both with actor likenesses and packaging etc. Because sales have been lower than expected for last year, our Judge Dredd range has taken priority for the time being, but rest assured new sets will be coming later in the year.
