December 20th, 2019 - 3:34pmPlease if we have to be having more doctor’s can we keep them to the companion sets and not the main Range but if you are thinking of adding the shalka doctor could always put him in the time Lord set with Android Master
Basil Funkenstein
December 20th, 2019 - 7:47pmIf there’s an extension beyond 200 main issues (issues in the main fortnightly collection,) which the majority of people I’ve seen or spoken to seem to want quite a bit, then I’m sure people will be fine with 2 variants of as many doctors as they can reasonably do in the main collection and then one more doctor variant in the companion sets, that’s 3 variants of each doctor total. If they want to do more variants I’d be happy if they put them up as bonus figures on the Eaglemoss/Hero Collector webshop.

December 18th, 2019 - 10:05pmHe said the watcher definitely not 180 that does not mean the collection has been extended it means simply he has changed his mind that it could be an earlier issue between 173 and 179
Negative_Matter
December 18th, 2019 - 10:08pmHe must have said that since he said the watcher was being saved for the last issue (which at the point he said it was 180) he made the comment on this site a few months back.
The Werewolf
December 18th, 2019 - 8:38pmPerfection. This is one I’ve been wanting for a long time. I can’t wait

Neil Corry
December 18th, 2019 - 7:18pmWhat a great list. One is so on the money I’m kinda tempted to tell you what it is.
Negative_Matter
December 18th, 2019 - 7:32pmWell now Harrops are making the Gravis and probably the Tractator to go with him the race is on to be first no doubt. (lol)
Basil Funkenstein
December 18th, 2019 - 8:56pmWhat a phenomenally cosmic list. Same as you I am hoping we can go beyond 180/200 issues PURELY because I adore this collection and there is still so much potential. I’d be happy with that list though even if there were things I’d add or shift around or not have on the list. Either way I’m so excited to see what next year brings and hopefully many years more.
Doug Who
December 18th, 2019 - 10:15pmMouthwateringly great list there! I’d be very happy with that little lot.
While we’re dreaming I’d add,
A few of the Mission/Masterplan delegates
Macra (special)
Alien Ambassador (without helmet)
Uxarian ‘Primitive’
Bok
Arcturus (possibly a special)
Vega Nexos
Styre
Krynoid in some form possibly the humanoid version
Nucleus of the Swarm (in either of its forms)
The Collector
Fendahl Core
Seer Robot
Shrivenzale (special)
Cessair of Diplos
The Shadow
Lady Adrasta
Krarg (now Shada is complete in so many forms!)
Aukon
Tharil
Melkur
Mara (special)
Terileptil Android
Stopping there…could go on and on and on!
Basil Funkenstein
December 19th, 2019 - 12:25amI’d add an Atlantean Fishperson, God’s of Ragnarok and a series 4 emo Master and a series 10 Master to the list. (There’s a lot more but those are the ones I’d really love to see as figurines.)
Anonymous
December 19th, 2019 - 1:17amDoug who- I can’t believe I didn’t put the melkur in the list! I’d love specials like the macra, fendahl and drashig,
I mean going with your idea of the masterplan delegates, they could dedicate an entire extension to the end of the world or the rings of akhaten!
Also which form of the macra would you have? Original prop or 2018 animation? And personally I’d love you to go on and on and see what ideas I didn’t think of!
Doug Who
December 19th, 2019 - 1:34amDefinitely an original Macra although all the ‘spikes’ would be impossible to do! There was quite a nice model of it made in the ‘Mini Terror’ range back in the 90s.
Drashig and Skarasen specials would be wonderful also – in fact a ‘mega beast’ series would be great to include Kroll and the Silurians’ dinosaur. There was some discussion a while ago about the Drashig and whether to do the full creature or just the head.
Basil a Fish Person and Gods special would be fantastic!
Oh and I’d love to see Kronos the Chronovore. Dave Prowes as the Minotaur would be fun too!
Neil Corry
December 18th, 2019 - 4:31pmThat’s not the right cover to issue 172.
And 180 is definitely not the Watcher.

Negative_Matter
December 18th, 2019 - 5:46pmAh you’ve changed your mind then Neil. Earlier you said The Watcher would be the last figure released. So presumably the series has been extended. The facts don’t seem to certain. Some are saying 200 others are saying it’s not been confirmed.
Bobby Davros
December 18th, 2019 - 5:48pmYeah either they’ve extended or they cant get in touch with whoever’s is administering the Watcher’s estate.

December 18th, 2019 - 7:46pmA gentleman named Adrian Gibbs – has he passed away ?

Evan Marshall
December 19th, 2019 - 11:46amThey wouldn’t need any permission from Gibbs or his estate if he’s dead as they wouldn’t be using his likeness. The make up o the character means it isn’t Gibss’ actual face.

December 19th, 2019 - 1:20pm*Picard facepalm*
The Flying Shark
December 18th, 2019 - 4:23pmThat’s one from my most wanted list ticked off! Kraal, Foamasi next please? Movellan too?
Negative_Matter
December 18th, 2019 - 7:48pmCan we add a Dominator, a Morok and a Drahvin to those three they are major who villains after all. Suprised a Chumbley is taking so long too.
Nick
December 18th, 2019 - 4:22pm“Who dares call the Nimon?” An excellent sculpt and an excellent choice!!! Looking forward to adding this figurine to the collection. Dear Neil, can we please have a Stygron / Kraal figurine as well?
Tom Parsons
December 18th, 2019 - 3:06pmoh yes i love the nimon 🙂
Alvin
December 18th, 2019 - 2:40pmThe Nimon figure looks great, I can’t wait to add it to my collection
Daz
December 18th, 2019 - 2:29pmBut are we going to get the pilot with his trousers spit open? Well we didn’t get Sutekh’s mystery helping chair hand so probably not this either. Disappointed.

December 18th, 2019 - 2:01pmI thought the story was theyd extended to 200..if they haven’t the 180 will according to Neil be the Watcher ( ha said they were saving that figure ’till last’)
booboo
December 18th, 2019 - 2:14pmthere is the Timelord, but that might be part of a set, I’m sure Neil mentioned a Pting
Sidney
December 18th, 2019 - 2:37pmNeil said 180 wasn’t the watcher
Anonymous
December 18th, 2019 - 3:25pmThere’s been no confirmation about 200 or official word, until then it’s still 180 🙂
Negative_Matter
December 18th, 2019 - 5:43pmNeil has obviously changed his mind about the Watcher. Or the series isnt ending at 180.

Basil Funkenstein
December 18th, 2019 - 1:28pmThis collection just jumps from strength to strength, what a lineup we’ve got to look forward to to start of next year.
Neil if you’re out there reading this I hope to god there’s an extension in the works/planned. This is the best figurine collection Eaglemoss has ever done and there’s still tons more characters and other things from the show left to do. As I’ve said many yes before I’m grateful for what we’ve got and we are very lucky but I am incredibly fond of this set and would love to see it go on for as long as possible.

December 18th, 2019 - 1:27pmI’m hoping for a masked heronamus before this collection finishes

December 18th, 2019 - 1:03pmAnother great figure please please hope we get a black guardian figure
Doug Who
December 18th, 2019 - 11:23amAmazing! I’m absolutely delighted to see this confirmed. One of my favourite figurines so far and for me at least confirms this as the best Doctor Who merchandise collection ever! It’s a really lovely sculpt.
So hoping that this collection will be extended as there’s so many monsters and characters I’d love to see given the Eaglemoss treatment. I think the Solonian Mutant and Krarg now move up to my most wanted figures although I agree the Celestial Toymaker would be fantastic too!
Huge thanks to Neil and everyone else at Eaglemoss and seasons greetings to you all!
