Big Chief Packaging for Eleventh Doctor Revealed
A Mad Man in a Box
Packaging for Eleventh Doctor 1:6 Scale Collector Figure Revealed
From www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk
“We are pleased to reveal the final approved packaging design for our Eleventh Doctor 1:6 Scale Collector Figure. As collectors ourselves we understand all to well how important packaging is. We carefully considered the pack construction, taking both the retailer and the end customer into mind.
Retailers ideally want a pack that allows customers to see what they are paying for, whilst collectors often expect more minimalistic closed boxes,
with emphasis on design more so than display. In addition we also have to remain faithful the style guide and of course ultimately, approval by the licensor.
As such we have designed a pack that we believe will service all of these criteria. The box has a cover flap, that when opened up reveals a window pack for display, with a matt laminate finish to reduce fingerprints and protect the box. Finally the Doctor Who logos and product titles will be hot foil stamped in a beautiful vibrant metallic copper foil.
Two inner trays hold the figure, accessories and display base securely in place. Signature Edition packs will also include the hand-signed autograph plaque with accompanying plaque stand and certificate of authenticity.”

April 29th, 2012 - 5:38pmOne day I will have enough stinking money to buy this beauty, and that day will be a joyous one. 😉
I also would get the accessory pack which will include the Doctors longcoat, blue suspenders, a spare set of trousers, his pale blue shirt, and a blue bowtie, among other things I imagine. 😉
Wonder what it’s going to look like ?

April 29th, 2012 - 5:02pmWonder whether the Coppery Gold Who Logo may be something to do with the 50th anniversary? 50 being a golden anniversary and all 😀
booboo
April 29th, 2012 - 5:03pmwe thought that but its not – i suspect there will be a complete re-brand for the 50th
McGann is The Doctor.
April 29th, 2012 - 5:36pmA complete rebrand ? What, you mean they will totally redesign their only-just-released merchandise design ?
booboo
April 29th, 2012 - 5:38pmNot big chief, I’m talking about the BBC wanting all merchandise released for the 50th or during that year to be specially branded i can see it happening to be honest

Bigger on the Inside
May 16th, 2012 - 6:45pmSorry realised that after I posted the comment but do you think they will change the logo for the 50th episode for forever, i think it would be good for just the one ep as it shows it is different
So what do you think??????
booboo
May 16th, 2012 - 6:46pmthey may have a change you never know
Bigger on the Inside
May 16th, 2012 - 6:48pmTheyhavnt had the current one for long, don’t you think that if they change the merchant for the 50th ep to a gold logo like on the box it would look good, then back to blue
Give me a Dalek any day
April 28th, 2012 - 11:41amAre you sure they didn’t just shrink the real Matt Smith? 😉
I’d love to have this. It looks incredible! 🙂

Dr who who
April 26th, 2012 - 8:56pmDoes anybody know when these are coming out???
Mels
April 27th, 2012 - 5:57amWithin the next couple of months. They were supposed to be released in April (but as you can see, we’re running out of April…) but the official website says “Qtr 2 2012”.
BC haven’t posted any release date info for quite a while now – despite many people asking – so presumably they don’t have a proper date yet.

April 26th, 2012 - 5:03pmI really want one of these figures but I cant afford £150
Nicholas
April 26th, 2012 - 5:07pmIf they still have these later this year or any new ones, I will ask for one for christmas.
Anonymous
April 26th, 2012 - 5:15pmThere’s the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, The Tenth Doctor and a Weeping Angel coming out this year, and if all goes to plan there should be a Fourth Doctor coming out just before Christmas so you could be in luck.

April 26th, 2012 - 10:26amThe style of this packaging reminds me very much of the Hot Toys packaging. 😀
