doctorwhofan27
January 25th, 2012 - 12:21am16 different cb in the series, hope there’s no super rares. Some in the series aren’t from the eleventh doctor era. Though if they made sets from the adventure games, why not figures?
doctorwhofan27
January 25th, 2012 - 12:28amones not seen by eleventh doctor in the series or adventure games:
bronze dalek
black dalek
cyberleader (cybus logo on)
silver helmet judoon

January 25th, 2012 - 12:29amoh, and tardis dematerialization set, seriously? we can’t just be creative?
Adam
January 25th, 2012 - 7:39amno not the vashta nerada because only the tenth doctor met the white one and the 11th doctor met the green one’s

January 24th, 2012 - 10:18pmWe also need a marth jones, a donna noble and a captain jack figure.Oh yeah, and maybe some SJA figures aswell.
booboo the third
January 24th, 2012 - 9:51pmhave you noticed that with cb you cant keep it in mint condition because you have to open it too see whats inside do you agree with me booboo?
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 11:40pmDepends what it is, with the blind packs yes, but with the multi-packs and the like you can, although what would be the point in keeping it mint, most of these figures end up fetching a fortune even out of their packaging.
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:54pmThe sets in order of awesomeness:
The Girl Who Waited Mini Set
Berlin Mini Set
TARDIS Materialisation Mini Set
Dalek Saucer Set
Silent Time Machine Set
The reason the mega sets are at the bottom is because of the quality of last years. A young
child would be thrilled with the Dalek Ship but if he/she could not hold it without it falling to
pieces I think there’d be one unhappy child. Let’s hope that problem is fixed this year though!
Jonathan
January 24th, 2012 - 8:59pmI think they’ve learned there lesson the later versions of the tardis set re modled the walls to make it stronger
the doctor and bradley
January 24th, 2012 - 8:40pmberlin set should come with mels and hitler
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:42pmMels would be fine but a Hitler minifigure would be disgraceful.
the doctor and bradley
January 24th, 2012 - 8:44pmwhy?
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 8:45pmCharacter would recieve thousands of complaints if they were to release anything to do with Hitler, as you said it would be disgraceful.
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:49pmbooboo jr is right I’m afraid. But as I said a Mels figure would have been ok. 🙂
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 8:50pmIt wouldn’t be right, a Hitler figure, not after what he did. I think it was a mistake to even have him in an episode.
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:58pmWell Hitler wasn’t portrayed as an evil tyrant in Lets Kill Hitler, he was shown as a fool which is exactly what Steven Moffat wanted to do; take the mick!
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 9:06pmWell, I suppose it was funny he got locked in a cupboard and that he was punched by Rory 😆 .
doctorwhofan27
January 24th, 2012 - 11:48pmAnd how they said they saved his life completely by accident.
Dalek Sec
January 25th, 2012 - 4:35amI want an Winston Churchill, and i would custom an 2005 Dalek for an Ironside. If i have access to those figures.
what the hell
January 25th, 2012 - 4:29pmRealease a cupboard with Hitlers head poking out.
LISTEN CP NOW
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:36pmJust realised there are only two mega sets. What about the third one booboo?
booboo
January 24th, 2012 - 8:42pmthat was everything on show
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 8:44pmOh ok just wondering since there were three last year. Do you think they will announce one at a later date if there is one?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
January 24th, 2012 - 8:23pmlooks really good!! the character building figures are good, but why do we need a see through TARDIS?? this is probably the best wave yet, and its good cos its characters from all series’s
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 8:25pmI thought that about the Tardis, but will probaly end up getting it anyway. I also agree about it being the best Series yet, nice to see Characters fro the RTD Era.
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
January 24th, 2012 - 8:13pmAnyone know when these are are and what the rare one’s are?
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 8:18pmNo other info apart from what you can see yet.

Booboo Jr Jr ( A Link To The Doctor Who )
January 24th, 2012 - 7:52pmOne question. WHEN!!! I so want these now. Hope they come out for my birthday ( april ) but that’s probably never gonna happen.
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 9:33pmMy birthdays in april as well! (12th)

The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 7:14pmSurprised to see the Peg Dolls aren’t in this wave. Thought they’d be popular!
Time And Relative Dimension In Space
January 24th, 2012 - 7:22pmWe need peg doll
dw2005
January 24th, 2012 - 7:32pmI think we need a slitheen, an auton (Rose version), a sycorax, maybe a krillitane, The Master (End of time), maybe a flood monster, maybe a siren, maybe Idris, a ganger, a headless monk, maybe a tescelecta (not sure how they would do that), a peg doll and amy peg doll.

January 24th, 2012 - 6:52pmsee through tardis?????????????????
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 6:59pmIt’s a materialisation TARDIS to make the effect of the TARDIS arriving look realistic or something like that. 🙂
videogamemad00
January 24th, 2012 - 9:37pmJust though of a CB adventure with the clear TARDIS. The Doctor gets teleported somewhere, somehow and can’t get back. He notices the TARDIS but it’s not properly there and he has to get it back somehow. What do you think?
callum simmons
January 25th, 2012 - 4:20pmit is most likely the cloaked tardis from the impossible astronaut i doubt it would be a materialising tardis that would be pointless
callum simmons
January 25th, 2012 - 4:26pmactualy just noticed title so it can’t be the cloaked tardis why a de-materialising tardis why not a tardis with fire detail in the windows or broken window details to be an exploding or repairing tardis.
Nathan
January 24th, 2012 - 6:47pmAlthough there are 16 figures on display, they probably aren’t part of the wave, but instead with sets. For example, River and the Silence are with the Silence time machine set, The Handbot is with the girl who waited mini set, and the bronze Dalek could be with the Dalek saucer set (although the packaging says Dalek Drones). So the wave will probably be the same size as before.
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 6:54pmNo it will be 16 because the ones in the sets don’t have bases
Nathan
January 24th, 2012 - 6:55pmYou have a good point, although it could be for display purposes.
luke kelly
January 24th, 2012 - 7:03pmi hope none of them are super rares cos i want all of them!
Nathan
January 24th, 2012 - 7:09pmI agree! Super-rares were Character’s second biggest mistake ever (after not releasing a Rory figure, but that can still be undone!) They were a dumb idea to try and get people to buy more packets in the vain hope they may get one, which is unlikely unless you were ridiculously lucky!
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 7:38pmOr riddiculously rich.
Nathan
January 24th, 2012 - 7:55pmOr riddiculously rich, yes, but for those of us who are not either, like myself, these great figures like Roman Rory, Cowboy River, Football Doctor, etc, are out of our reach, which isn’t fair.
sheepinafez
January 24th, 2012 - 6:44pmas rory and amy are leaveing these could be their last character building figs 🙁
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 8:25pmShouldn’t be they are leaving part of the way through the series, so they shouldn’t be leaving until a bit into it at least but with the broadcast delay Series 4 should be before the series even begins.
GallifreyRules
January 24th, 2012 - 6:38pmwe should get all the figures in 5″ as we do in CB e.g. doctor in long coat, madam kovarian etc.
god of the whoniverse
January 24th, 2012 - 6:27pmany1 noticed its not Ecclstone era
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 6:32pmsome of them may be from the david tennant era but remember all of them ones have still appeared in the matt smith series ( apart from the bronze dalek)
god of the whoniverse
January 24th, 2012 - 6:34pmthe bronze appeared in victory of daleks
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 7:04pmoh yes lol
Booboo Jr Jr ( A Link To The Doctor Who )
January 24th, 2012 - 7:42pmThe vashta nerada and sontaran didn’t either, unless you count the adventure games
god of the whoniverse
January 24th, 2012 - 8:16pmOR PANDORICA OPENS
mr.t
January 24th, 2012 - 6:18pmif you look next to the ben 10 character building section it shows you a section called character building sport
The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)
January 24th, 2012 - 5:58pmVashta Nerada looks great. Hopefully we’ll get an army builder of them and the Sontarans. 😀
Booboo Jr Jr ( A Link To The Doctor Who )
January 24th, 2012 - 7:45pmYeah that’ll be the top six voted monsters immortalised in minifigure form. ( the other 4 are the silence, weeping angels, the daleks and the cyberman
BOB
January 24th, 2012 - 5:45pmWow what a great set but I has hoping for a peg doll:(
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 5:51pmSame, but I’m pretty happy with what we’ve got here. Maybe in Series 4!
BOB
January 24th, 2012 - 6:04pmYea hopefully it will come out in the autum some time so not a very long wait !
Also I just noticed that on the promo pic Rory and Madame koravain have an eye drive but on the one below it they don’t does that mean you can remove them coz thats a safety hazard isn’t it ?
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 6:08pmOh yeah, but the promo picture is computer generated, and the figures on display are probaly prototypes, so they probaly haven’t added it yet.
Sherlock
January 24th, 2012 - 6:11pmThey are on there its just not great quality!
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 7:39pmYes, they’ve just been painted on.
Mels
January 24th, 2012 - 5:28pmThe Dalek spaceship looks nifty. 😀
Bigger on the Inside
January 24th, 2012 - 5:27pmthere are 13 different figs i think as it the bottom pic there are 16 then – 3 (silent, juddoon, sonataron – both on twice)
i like the black dalek
booboo do you think all these figs will be the normal as 13 is a strange number to have and surely they wont have super rares here as the havnt done before
booboo
January 24th, 2012 - 5:37pmdont know but hopefully it wont be to long before we get full info
BOOBOO JR
January 24th, 2012 - 5:50pmI reckon they’ve got a Judoon with Helmet, a Judoon without Helmet, Sontaron with Helmet and a Sontaron without Helmet, they make cheap variants. As for the Silent, I don’t think that’s in this wave, making it a Wave of 15. Hopefully we’ll find out for sure soon.
Nathan
January 24th, 2012 - 7:36pm15 would be average, as the new Deadly 60 range has 15 figures.
Anonymous
January 24th, 2012 - 7:40pmSo does the HM Armed Forces one by the looks of things.
