July 11th, 2013 - 4:50pmBetter with out the voice over 😛
I have all the figures in the wave apart from the angel and any variants, I like the new figures, they save a lot of room and look great on the time zones
Matt Smithy
July 11th, 2013 - 4:40pmThe voiceover is SOOOO cheesey…
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 4:53pmI completely agree
Trenzalore
July 11th, 2013 - 3:58pmlol, ‘make bigger adventures’ how can you do that when they are smaller figures? 😆 The voice isn’t very good if i’m honest, sounds a bit to superman which doesn’t really go with a doctor who advert
UDWF1
July 11th, 2013 - 3:55pmI don’t really like the voice. It’s kinda annoying
Drwho2
July 11th, 2013 - 4:20pmI know hes like “from characteeeeerrrr ” SHUT UP
LOL

timelord22
June 15th, 2013 - 4:09pmI have the black Dalek, but I’ll keep looking for the others. I’d really like the two Angel variants (screaming & projected) and probably the Clara to.
DoctorArkham
June 15th, 2013 - 12:34pmI went to Newcastle last weekend and saw all of the wave in Forbidden Planet. My brother bought the Doctor in light purple coat and a standard Cyberman. After a long debate with myself (LOL) I decided to buy Clara Oswald in black dress and an Ice Warrior. They had the Weeping Angel and the Dalek but a) the last Dalek was taken 2 minutes within entering the shop, b) The Angel was badly sculpted and had sharp bits sticking out of it. We went to a restaurant afterwards, and within 10 minutes of unwrapping, my brother’s Doctor’s head came off!
timelord22
June 15th, 2013 - 2:16pmThe Doctor’s head is supposed to come off, it’s sculpted that way; every one is like that. Maybe to do regeneration sequences in the future? 🙂
the astronaut of death
June 15th, 2013 - 2:19pmmy doctors head dose not come off it is firmly on
timelord22
June 15th, 2013 - 2:40pmSo is mine once you click it into place. Once you push it in it’s hard to get out.
Liam Bones
June 16th, 2013 - 12:06amsorry, i may have been the one who took the last dalek last week, didnt think you wanted it but fenwicks had loads. sorry
DoctorArkham
June 17th, 2013 - 8:03pm@Liam Bones
It doesn’t really matter, it wasn’t the figure I was after! I’m glad you got the one you wanted anyway. 🙂
Doctor 909
June 15th, 2013 - 9:24amDoes anyone know how they got the un-armoured ice warrior to stand up?
trenzalore
June 15th, 2013 - 9:42amblue-tack
Andy Hall
June 15th, 2013 - 11:16amMine stands no problem at all. In fact all of them are standing without support. You just have to adjust the leg positions!
timelord22
June 15th, 2013 - 2:38pmMe to! I think they stand pretty well by themselves to. I don’t know why the Weeping Angel has a stand to be honest, it always falls off it and it doesn’t even need one anyway! You might just have to use the stand.
Danny Brown
June 15th, 2013 - 6:15pmpushing their legs back a very little bit usally helps
Androzani12
June 17th, 2013 - 4:54pmyou can put it on the new figure stands if you have one from one of the other figures?
The Doctor
June 17th, 2013 - 8:17pmIt can fit on to the new stands so you could do that
dalek 105
June 20th, 2013 - 7:35ami have done that
aidan
June 15th, 2013 - 8:11amI am saveing up for Clara
timelord22
June 15th, 2013 - 2:41pmShe’s worth it; probably my favourite of the wave.
Chocywhovian
July 11th, 2013 - 2:30pmIt might just be mine but without the stand she’s very difficult to stand up
aidan
June 15th, 2013 - 8:08amIam saveing up my pocket moneoy for Clara. 🙂
time and relotive dimens
June 12th, 2013 - 6:01pmnot bad
Andrew I
June 10th, 2013 - 10:18pmJust noticed the pink dress on Clara! Really didn’t realise there were so many variants! Can’t decide if I’m pleased or annoyed…
The Monitor
June 10th, 2013 - 10:24pmI was upset to begin with as I went to great cost to go around shops spread far and wide. Got the Cyberleader and resigned myself to not finding a Dalek. However, I could have seen other variants and not noticed.
As a die-hard collector, the Dalek and Cyberman variants I am excited about. Clara in a different colour dress, not at all. I would get it for £7 but not at current eBay prices.
If CO genuinely sprinkle a few chases in each shipment that goes out to get people back to the shops each week, then it is great, otherwise not.
AlexTheDoctorWhoManiac
June 11th, 2013 - 9:36pmi know forbidden planet sent me one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DoctorWho123
June 10th, 2013 - 11:27amI heard that there were two variants of the doctor. one with light purple waist coat the other with dark purple waist coat, is this true? has anyone got the two variants?
The Monitor
June 10th, 2013 - 10:26pmI imagine they are out there, just too insignificant to notice. If I looked at mine I would not know if it was the standard or variant.
Nobody has suggested an Ice Warrior variant yet. I tried looking for one in the shops but nothing obvious jumped out.
dalek 105
June 20th, 2013 - 7:42amit might be tricky to see because it might be that the helmet comes off and on with the ice warrior creature head inside
The Dalek God
June 9th, 2013 - 2:52pmdoes anybody know how many angle cherubs come in the angles take Manhattan play set?

The Doctor
June 18th, 2013 - 8:01pmI think it’s 3
Clocky
June 8th, 2013 - 11:55pmSince the reboot of Doctor Who with the 9th Doctor, I have purchased almost every one of the action figures BUT I will NOT be buying these – they’re just awful. Saw them in the Entertainer toy store yesterday and put them back on the shelf. Very dissapointing 🙁
Cyberman V2
June 9th, 2013 - 9:08amI agree but I will be buying the figures (like the Dalek, and Cyberman!!!) But hey at least there cheaper right!!
the great boo
June 9th, 2013 - 10:05amI want get the cyberman , doctor and clara
Fez Master
June 9th, 2013 - 11:39amThe figures used to cost this much around 2005-6-7 time.
booboo
June 9th, 2013 - 11:48amyes and cost have gone up a lot
a 5″ inch fig would probably have to be £12.99 now
dalek 105
June 20th, 2013 - 7:47amin the entertainer there £3.99
booboo
June 20th, 2013 - 7:49amold ones they are selling off
Cyberman V2
June 8th, 2013 - 12:26amI like this add
Dan23
June 6th, 2013 - 7:43pmHow I’ve missed these adverts… Seems like there’s a lot more rates than people thought.
Next doctor 2014
June 6th, 2013 - 6:55pmI think or character should make other parts of the episode for each playset so they can join up, booboo?
Anonymous
June 7th, 2013 - 1:12pmobviously
the great boo
June 9th, 2013 - 10:08amI think there should be a cyberman on like in their tombs that would be a good playset
TheDoctorGallifrey
June 9th, 2013 - 4:45pmThat would be cool, maybe ther could be an extra submarine corridor or the forest in Hide!
The Supreme Dalek
June 9th, 2013 - 7:13pmI’d like these sets for each episode:
Asylum of the Daleks: Parliament Background with Dalek Prime Minister
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship: Spaceship background with Amy
A Town Called Mercy: Town background with Kahler-Jex’s ship.
The Power of Three: Shakri Ship background with Rory and two cubes
The Snowmen: The room with the giant snow globe with Snowman
The Bells of Saint John: The Shard Background with Girl Spoonhead
The Rings of Akhaten: Market Background with glass cage for the mummy.
dalek 105
June 20th, 2013 - 7:49amor when the tardis playset comes out extra corridors
time and relotive dimens
June 6th, 2013 - 2:19pmfinnally a action figure advert:smile:
Baby face
June 6th, 2013 - 12:19pmI’m going to have to buy another Ice warrior since the paint on my ice warriors eyes can come off easy
Mr Clever
June 6th, 2013 - 5:24amVariants:
Gun silver chested cyberman – gun on top of arm
screaming angel
projected angel
black dalek
Love Doctor Who
June 6th, 2013 - 12:54pmAlso, clara with a pink dress.
doctor 19
June 8th, 2013 - 11:11pmalso doctors waist coat dark and light!
TheDoctorOfWho
June 6th, 2013 - 3:48am6. Dalek Sec, Clara red dress, Cyber controller, projected Angel, Screaming Angel, gun arm cyberman
MoarCrossovers
June 9th, 2013 - 9:45amCyber controller? Why would there be a Cyber controller in this wave when it wasn’t in the episode? And why do people call the Cyberman with blue chest and gun arm a Cyberleader? As far as I can tell neither of the two starred in the episode
the great boo
June 9th, 2013 - 10:10amI hope they do make a more noticeable cyberleader or controller
TARDISTIME
June 5th, 2013 - 10:19pmeven tho not sure in the new size this advert is much better than the old ones
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
June 5th, 2013 - 9:00pmI have some questions:
How many rare variants are there?
Is there a screaming AND neutral projected angel?
and Is there a Doctor variant?
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 9:05pmwe dont know the answer to any of those
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
June 5th, 2013 - 9:07pmOkay haha thanks
That Random Whovian
June 6th, 2013 - 9:40pmI think I spotted a Doctor variant…
It’s towards the end of the advert, where he turns and the pink dress Clara is standing behind him. Might just be me but his waistcoat looks like it’s painted in the darker blue he wore in The Snowmen, Nightmare in Silver and The Name of the Doctor.
Actually, it’s a bit of a shame that they made this one I rare. I think I prefer it to the standard grey one. Character… *shakes fist*
Doctorb23
June 7th, 2013 - 12:53pm@That Random Whovian Yes you’re right!At 0:20 it appears that he has a darker waistcoat and lighter shirt!
That Random Whovian
June 9th, 2013 - 9:37amPhew. I weren’t imagining it 🙂
Doctor Stu
June 5th, 2013 - 8:33pmWow, the bit at the beginning of the advert when the CGI TARDIS’ doors open is actually a better animation than the one used on the actual episodes.
That Random Whovian
June 6th, 2013 - 7:16pmWere just thinking that!!
Scott the Raptor
June 5th, 2013 - 8:23pmI’ve spotted something. On my receipt from FPI it says 3.75″ Cyberman with no gun. Does that mean that the variant in this will be available for general release?
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 8:24pmat the toy fair they mentioned one with a gun, we assumed it was the rare on but maybe not
Doctor Stu
June 5th, 2013 - 8:28pmI hope not, I really want the cyber with gun!
Next doctor 2014
June 5th, 2013 - 9:29pmI have just watched the advert again and i have notice the cybermen with guns dont have a blue light, this means that the blue light cyberman with gun will be a rare right? Booboo
Next doctor 2014
June 5th, 2013 - 9:30pmI have just watched the advert again and i have notice the cybermen with guns dont have a blue light, this means that the blue light cyberman with gun will be a rare right?
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 9:30pmthat seems right
the great boo
June 9th, 2013 - 10:13amI want the cybermen with guns tooo :]
Doctor Stu
June 5th, 2013 - 8:14pmNo! Why is there so many Cybermen with guns in this advert how are supposed to get these!!!! I hope the screaming angel isn’t a rare as i really wanted the screaming angel.
Jamiouse
June 5th, 2013 - 7:55pmI don’t think there is a Clara in Pink Dress, I think it’s the lighting making it look pink. The dress still has the same patern as the already released version.
booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 7:58pmno there is one we have seen a picture, there is a link somewhere

booboo
June 5th, 2013 - 8:12pmthats the one, lucky person
Jamiouse
June 5th, 2013 - 8:17pmI stand corrected, what episode did she wear a pink dress though or are CO using a bit of artistic license? The Projected Angel is a bit of an odd choice, CO do seem to like their Angels!
LumatTheEwok
June 5th, 2013 - 9:07pmShe wore it in the bells of St John
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
June 7th, 2013 - 1:48pmsure that was purple and longer at the back…
LumatTheEwok
June 10th, 2013 - 12:10pmIt was longer at the back but they’re not going to make a new sculpt for a variant, just repaint it. Looks close enough anyway
DoctorArkham
June 15th, 2013 - 12:29pmShe wore the pink dress in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS but Character obviously can’t be bothered to get rid of the jacket from Rings of Akhaten. As usual, lazy CO.
Pug in a kilt
June 5th, 2013 - 7:50pmWOW!
i like the new tune and
i luv the rare Clara.
🙂
