      You should get them in the US at a similar time to Australia… early August (aka, next week or sometime soon after…)
      (I think we have stock in Australia, but it takes a long time to get across the country >_<)

      WhoNa are expecting their shipment early August, and they tend to get stock in as quickly as possible. Some big toy chains may rush them in quicker… so you might want to check those if first if they normally stock DW toys.

    Guys, stop getting annoyed about the doctors jacket. Comparing 2 images I have, one of the 11th doctor single release and this. This jacket is lighter. Compare the colour of the coat in this picture, to the one on the river song and pandorica chair page. You’ll see what I mean.

      they are now being released early, on wednesday, which is all of the figures except amelia pond and nephew.
      These figures that are released on wednesday are:
      Doctor with beard and straight jacket, silent with closed mouth, silent with open mouth, idris, doctor with stetson, and uncle.

  • McGann is the Doctor.

    July 24th, 2011 - 11:42pm

    I’m keen to get ameli, because I for one DO NOT have an Am Pond figure yet, and ould think it cool to get her as a child first.

    As for the Doctor figure, not going near it. Its nothing to be excited about, a poor and lazy attempt at representing the Doctor’s costume from that episode. 😡

      Where are Amelia and Nephew though? Seems a bit suspicious and they are saying this is the first wave.

      Also I thought the assortments were in 12s with the 5” figures.

    • booboo

      July 22nd, 2011 - 8:28pm

      There are pictures of Ameila and the others in an Argos storeroom on another forum so i have no idea what Ikon have unless they have been sent different assortments.

      I have had another look they have a wave 1 and a wave A that are totally seperate, by the looks of things what they are calling wave A (which is where the link leads to) is actually wave 2.

      This is the assortment we are apparently getting in Australia (booboo found this first lol):

      http://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/p8566/Doctor_Who_-_2011_Action_Figure_Assortment_Wave_A_(case_of_10)/product_info.html

      Case of 10:
      2 x 11th Doctor with Stetson cowboy hat
      2 x Idris
      2 x 11th Doctor with straight jacket
      1 x The Silent – Mouth Open
      1 x The Silent – Mouth Closed
      2 x Uncle

      Wave one and two together as “Wave A”… but no Amelia or Nephew. (No idea what’s going on there).

    • Mels

      July 21st, 2011 - 10:29am

      I’ll try reading the whole website first next time:

      Wave 1 (case of 10):
      3 x 11th Doctor with Stetson cowboy hat
      2 x Young Amelia Pond
      2 x The Silent – Mouth Open
      2 x The Silent – Mouth Closed
      1 x ‘Nephew’ – Ood with green orb

      Looks like the Silents and Stetson Doctors will be in both Waves.

    i rung CO customer service and they said noothings wrong with the figures and they have been planned to come out the end of july since the pictures of them was first released

    Reply
    • Mels

      July 16th, 2011 - 10:24am

      CO customer service don’t have a clue about their own release dates. I’ve emailed them about several items available in stores/announced, and they didn’t even know what I was talking about…

      These were delayed due to a manufacturing problem (we don’t know exactly what the ‘problem’ was, but probably fairly crucial to push back a whole wave), one of the CO ‘reps’ confirmed this on another site.

      In terms of being pushed back from mid to now late july, probably the shipments just got delayed, they come by ship I think which can be slow…

    • McGann is the Doctor.

      July 24th, 2011 - 11:39pm

      No, it’s probably none of that. Its to do with the new argos catalogue ocming out.

      July 15th, 2011 - 9:55am

      well if that’s true then its simply not fair on the independents. Argos can still them on on their website, they dont need to wait for the catalogue.

    • Mels

      July 15th, 2011 - 11:29am

      I can agree with the ‘losing interest’ comment booboo, this has been going on for way too long now.

      The fact that the entire first half of the series has been shown, and has now been finished for weeks, and we STILL do not have a single action figure from these episodes, well that’s just *falls asleep*.

      If you fill in the “tell me when it’s in stock’ form for the products you want on the CO website, they will email you when they get them (they’re pretty prompt with their messages, they will let you know the same day).

      And I’ll echo what booboo said, sometimes Character get their items in stock before everyone else, other times they seem quite slow…
