April 30th, 2024 - 1:27pm“ The Doctor’s trusty sonic screwdriver has been redesigned to resemble a remote control or a flip phone because Davies was worried that the old Sonic looked too much like a gun, potentially encouraging kids to pretend to shoot at one another.” – Extract from rolling stone
Anybody else want to know who kidnapped RTD1? RTD2 is nothing more than an imposter. Either that, or he must be high, aha. The guy who was showrunner when the squareness blaster (sonic gun) was created? The guy who made the Laser Screwdriver have a knife sound? Yes, RTD seems to project his own personal issues onto everyone else. What a wally, he has gone from treating viewers as intelligent, to moronic.
Dont forget, all the other spew he has chatted. This era gonna flop, all because he “isnt about pushing agendas” but he is about “breaking boundaries”

April 30th, 2024 - 2:57pmAgreed. It’s interesting, however much I disliked the Chibnall era, I never felt like the show-runner was purposefully trying to put people off watching it. But that’s exactly what RTD2 feels like. Every decision, every turn he’s made has been utterly moronic and feels like he’s targeting fans and even the long history of the show itself.
He’s now worried the Sonic Screwdriver looks like a gun? Ridiculous. Interestingly, Moffat had a similar concern when he took over, which is why Matt Smith rarely pointed his Sonic and generally held it as though it were a Classic Sonic in Series 5, even though it was blatantly designed to pointed (and why the hands on the first main figures of him are stuck in this inconvenient, awful pose.)
And what happened? They realised it looked stupid and he went back to pointing it again.
WhoCollector
April 30th, 2024 - 5:27pmRTD has one defining difference to Moffat, unfortunately. He appears to be quite narcissistic and think very, very, VERY highly of him self – just look at the RTD celebrations, sorry – 60th celebrations… (which at first i was oblivious too, but as time has gone on – my opinion of him has fallen further than i expected. The 60th was rubbish, especially the one he hyped up. The only good thing? NPH as the toymaker. He even ruined Tennant…) He thinks of himself as the best thing since sliced bread. Also, we cant forget – people would have to be “very brave to disagree with him” – slightly misquoted, but yep, he practically said that – give or take a couple words. I think i may have phrased it nicer than he did to be fair. Oh, and he has retconned David Tennant and Christopher Ecclestons orientations, to fit his desires & 2024. Still, not as bad as magicing someones legs back… and the lovely “lets not stereotype disabled people as villains, but you know that actual stereotype gimmick of gadgets and missiles in wheelchairs, keep that”
Mrs Croot
April 30th, 2024 - 11:57pmTo be fair on, when he started pointing it, he actually was trying to use it as a gun against the silence (but yeah pointed sonics look better)
Cully’s Pal
May 1st, 2024 - 12:57amThey should have given J Michael Straczynski a try as showrunner – real disappointment when he didnt get it.

May 1st, 2024 - 3:37amRTD not a big fan of NERF either presumably…
WhoCollector
May 1st, 2024 - 7:28amThank god that fortnite cross over never happened… can you imagine his objections to the premise of pf the game. Who else remembers the laser sonic / tenth sonic / tocolophane set… released under RTD1. It even mentions “Target practice” on the back of the box… He also makes no sense because he has Ruby using a giant riffle in the trailer… or is that allowed? Ya know, an actual weapon resembling object. Cant imagine we will get moments like the resolution to runaway bride, or the end of time, or stories like turn left… because RTD is so worried about offending people or people having his mindset. Im just gonna say it, he is straight up confusing a LOT of people, not helping them. Good god, Mary Whitehouses Deadly Assassin take had nothing on RTD… seems pretty tame compared to each other.
WhoCollector
May 1st, 2024 - 7:32amQuick follow up, ive just started to use the 3 missing letters RTD forgot about in his nick name. End result rhymes with “Card”… i cant believe all the respect i used to have for Davies. He used to be brilliant at subtle but effective writing. Now its like grabbing a fish and being slapped in the face. Hurts & Leaves a bad smell

May 1st, 2024 - 9:15amJMS wanted to do Who? Wow… Presumably his ideas wouldn’t appeal to the younger kids though, the ones the BBC needs to sell tat (and the idea of itself) to.

April 24th, 2024 - 3:52pmListings have turned up for the 15th Doctor and Ruby figures on http://www.toystreet.co.uk. 17.99 each. No images or release date.
booboo
April 24th, 2024 - 3:54pmnever heard of them, but they have clearly jumped the gun
Jamie
April 24th, 2024 - 4:16pmYes looks like it! I have never heard of them either but I suppose its a good sign that even obscure places will be getting stock. They have 15’s Sonic listed also. 24.99.
The Fishmonger
April 24th, 2024 - 8:38pmIf you buy it now, it’s reduced from £17.99 to £17.98

April 24th, 2024 - 3:34pmJust a heads up for those undecided.
The new Doctor Who Magazine really isn’t worth paying a tenner for extras wise.
Two postcard size flimsy art cards and the two part Timeslip comic strip as a supplement.
SFX appears to be the place to go for superior art cards..

April 23rd, 2024 - 9:20amB&M horrible large Daleks now £4.99
B&M 20% off toys starts 23rd April for 7 days

April 23rd, 2024 - 11:30amI went in this morning and stocked up on an army of daleks, and even an ahsoka set. Not too bad! Can’t complain at nearly £7 per dalek

April 23rd, 2024 - 4:32pmI’m out of the loop, what are these ‘horrible large Daleks’ at B&M?

April 25th, 2024 - 12:18pmWhat’s the Ahsoka Set?
WhoCollector
April 26th, 2024 - 3:44pmLego, Ahsokas ship. Saved about £10 on it. Came to £40 for the set. There are a few other lego pieces worth looking out for while 20% off is on
Bev
April 19th, 2024 - 7:46pmHi, I have a radio controlled dalek (gold) and the eye has come off. Is there a knack to putting it back on?
Bookcollector
April 16th, 2024 - 9:56pmWaterstones has listed the paperback of church on ruby road as August 2024 rather than Amazon’s January 2025. Hopefully this is correct and it might mean we get some more target books announced for that August date soon.

April 15th, 2024 - 11:44amJust ordered my Ruins of Skaro set x2!
Vladnag
April 15th, 2024 - 11:39amThe Ruins of Skaro set is now live on Character.com for £39.99! Not bad at all for 2 entirely new figures and a great Dalek variant, picked up 2 myself
Maybe they avoided a big announcement so there wasn’t a website breaking rush, only realised because some Movellans where on Ebay marked as “Arriving soon”
FH
April 15th, 2024 - 2:50pmWell, it’s one entirely new figure twice, with a new head-sculpt each, and a re-release of a Dalek.
A4geek
April 15th, 2024 - 11:15amRuins of Skaro set is available to order on Character website £39.99
Bookcollector
April 14th, 2024 - 3:27amThe first icons book has been delayed until 25th March 2025. This seems to be happening more and more. Church on ruby road paperback has been delayed until January 2025 and there is no sign of frazer Hines evil book getting a paperback edition yet either.
Bookcollector
April 14th, 2024 - 9:59amApparently 15 doctors 15 stories has also moved back but only a month even so its still another delay.
anon
April 14th, 2024 - 11:21pmDo you think that will affect Icons 2 & 3’s release?
Bookcollector
April 15th, 2024 - 2:37pmDon’t know. As the stories are linked directly, just by the icon reference, then hopefully the others won’t be delayed but unfortunately delays seem to be the norm now so I would not be surprised to see them delayed. I don’t mind delays as such but the constance 5-6 month delays are getting a bit much.
Bookcollector
April 15th, 2024 - 2:37pmOops. That should read not linked directly!

April 17th, 2024 - 12:28amI waited over 2 & a half years for one DW book release.I eventually gave up on it!
Bookcollector
April 17th, 2024 - 12:54amI’m still waiting for a book from an author that was originally meant to come out in 2018. A friend of mine is a huge game of thrones fan (never saw the appeal myself) but she is still waiting for book 6 thirteen years after the release of book 5!

April 13th, 2024 - 9:13pmFurther update via Who Ray.
Approx release from CO
July – Another release of chrome 14th Sonic (final production run, but CO have already over-sold on pre orders)
Sept – 15th Sonic, Doctor 15 & Ruby figure’s
daz
April 13th, 2024 - 10:51pmSuch a shame they weren’t on the ball with 15 and Ruby in time for Season 1 starting in May. Surprised RTD didn’t try and push this like they did with 14 so close to Power of the Doctor.
FH
April 13th, 2024 - 11:35pmAnother release of the chrome sonic? I reckon it’ll be lingering around for a bit this time, considering how cheap it is now on eBay thanks to the counterfeits. Shame that we’re going to have to wait so long for the new stuff and also a shame if those are the only figures that are releasing in this wave. (Not counting CO exclusives and B&M of course.) I wonder if the September products will also be available from CO’s website.
The Outcast
April 14th, 2024 - 1:01amI thought it wasn’t the chrome sonic, I thought it was just the standard retail one – which would make more sense since why would a CO exclusive be available outside CO online (well, obviously there’s the knockoffs on eBay, but that’s rather different).
Master of M
April 11th, 2024 - 6:37pmWho Ray shop have just confirmed that the wholesaler orders for new series merch have been made subject to delivery date. The new sonic and the figures of Ncuti and Millie are definitely being released, however neither the Wraith warrior figure or the plush meep that we saw pics of has been made available.
See their post on FB for further details

April 11th, 2024 - 2:46pmHas anyone seen the “chrome plated” twelfth doctor sonics on eBay? They’re in Whittaker logo packaging but I suspect fakes.
booboo
April 11th, 2024 - 2:50pmebay is awash with counterfeits and fakes, so much so its impossible to know whats genuine
Bookcollector
April 11th, 2024 - 11:07amHad an email regarding celestial toymaker DVD release date. 10.06.24 is the date!
Bookcollector
April 11th, 2024 - 11:09amShould say that there is as yet no official announcement but the retailer is giving that date as the release date.
