    You could use the Tardis de-materialising mini set as the invisible TARDIS

    The silence time machine can be used as the Eighth Doctor’s TARDIS.

    if character are doing pre-Series 5 figures – then this could mean that there are more RTD era figures – HURRAY! This would be BRILLIANT!

    As well as this, they may decide to do Classic Series figures (some good ones would be Zygons and Sea Devils)

    THIS IS FANTASTIC – I’M STARTING TO THINK THESE ARE BETTER THAN 5″ FIGURES

    I think we need a slitheen, an auton (Rose version), a sycorax, maybe a krillitane, The Master (From the End of time), maybe a flood monster, maybe a siren, maybe Idris, a ganger, a headless monk, a peg doll and an amy peg doll.

    It’s really qutie sad, how little effort CO have put into the 5″ line since seeing the SHEER AMOUNT OF potential it would have if they did.

    Just look at all they’ve done for the CB here, I mean, I’m not saying the 5″ line for Series 6 needs something like a a Dalek Saucer set, just the characters and figures that are significant to the Series but have not yet been released for 5″ line, of that Series.

    The Doctor in Longcoat (Closing time)

    Handbots ! (The Girl who Waited)

    • McGann is The Doctor.

      January 27th, 2012 - 8:48pm

      Woah, how do you keep track of all your spending habits ?! That is so much money, I’d never be comfortable spending htat much on toys, even though I love getting the 5″ figures ❗

      I spend about £50 (usually 54) in Forbidden planet nowadays, only go there once every half a year or so, don’t go often.

      If my parents knew, they’d be dissapointed, and dissaproving, with me ! Only buy the figures I really want, such as Idris, the Doctor figures without cowboy hat, and the Silence, need to get more !!! 😀

      January 27th, 2012 - 10:00am

      I’m not sure which is the final wave makup (if there is one yet, since there are more than 10 figures shown…) but if there’s only one doctor figure in the next wave, I suspect it will be common.

      The Daleks however… I think the black dalek might end up being a set exclusive or released in a later wave. But it’s too early to tell.

    • Liason Ice

      January 28th, 2012 - 6:02am

      I think that if there are super rares (hope not) that they will be.
      1. Dalek Sec
      2. Amy with Tally marks
      3. Rory with eye drive
      4. Madam Kovarian
      5. Sontaran without helmet

  • The Wooden Prince (Previously Admiral Icktheus)

    January 26th, 2012 - 9:12pm

    Since there are probably gonna be super rares I wouldn’t be surprised to see these ones:
    The Doctor with top hat and tails and sonic cane
    Rorybot
    Hologram Amelia
    Nephew
    Amy Pond (The Wedding Of River Song)

      If they make a series 1 Rose I’ll be ok with that. If they make a series 2 and beyond Rose then it’ll be kept well away from my usual CB figures.

      January 26th, 2012 - 6:58pm

      They seem to miss the obvious tricks sometimes. Why not include an exclusive Doctor variant in the slime pod? I for one would definitely buy it just to own the variant, but have no intension of buying it for yet another duplicate figure.

    • Boodleoo

      January 26th, 2012 - 7:13pm

      yeah same and if there just putting in duplicate figures in then there’s no way of telling if it’s another doctor for example because at least you get to feel around the blind packets which you can’t with these.

    16 – Dalek Sec – It’s just ok, not too keen on the colour!
    15 – Sontaran General ( probably Staal) – Don’t like his head.
    14 – Rory with Eye Patch – he actually looks good, but couldn’t get at least in my top 10!!
    13 – Judoon Trooper – Just ok.
    12 – The Doctor – I like it, prefer it than the normal one, still not keen on it though…
    11 – Amy with Tally Marks – She’s good, but couldn’t fit her in top 5. 🙁
    10 – Ood – Very good and I’m quite pleased, but it’s not THE best.

      6 – Silence – We’ve seen it before, but I still like it!
      5 – Handbot – One word: AWESOME!
      4 – Madame Kovarian – Very very please with it!!!
      3 – Vashta Nerada – It’s amazing!
      2 – River Song – Best river figure we’ve had yet!!
      1 – Cyber Leader – It’s FANTASTIC!!!! 🙂 🙂

      Ok we have had a mistake! Judoon Captain is 9, Sontaran Trooper is 8 and silence is. 7, putting Dalek in 6!! 🙂

    I gotta say, I don’t buy the Cb line, but these are some great ideas !

    The Tardis Invisable ? It’s see-through ! You could see the figures inside, so cool ! Even though it would break the illusion of the tardis being transindental. :/

    And the new figure of hte Doctor in Longcoat looks great, wish there was a 5″ figure, and the Minotuar, Handbots aswell as the Series 6 Amy. ❗

      Amy’s best fashion sense was shown on Rebel Flesh (shame her clothes were just ganger flesh goo). But that figure needs an 5 inch figure, or at least an CB figure. (I prefer it being 5 inch)

    i think now is a time to discuss super rare figures because there are none in the picture.

    super rare:
    the doctor with tie and tails & sonic cane
    the astronaut with exchangable heads
    soothsayer doctor
    canton
    more ideas coming soon

      They have before usually been varients of others, so only the first and third would work.
      But cool ideas anyway 😀

      i just figured that if the astronaut came with a river and little girl heads then that would count because river is in series 3! 💡

      Because of the amount of people who would like a astronaut I doubt there make it a super rare, but maybe the river from silence in the library.

    Is the Silent in the ‘Silent Time Machine Set’ a open mouth or closed mouth?

      The open mouth silent was a Argos exclusive I doubt they would put it in a set.
