    Neil, please can we get the Moxx of Balhoon! Is there a reason why you have avoided him? Also, I love the more obscure figures, please can you consider the Appearance of Repeated Meme?

      The Moxx is unlikely because he’s a really weird shape for packaging. It’s unlikely we’ll do the Appearance of the Repeated Meme before issue 200. Sorry.

      Thank you Neil. Please say you have thought about Margaret Slitheen with her exposed Slitheen arm! How cool would that look!

    If we’re getting more Doctor Variants how about keeping them for the companion sets

      We think about these things long and hard. It’s never a case of “let’s plonk this one here” 🙂

      There will be more Doctors in the regular run. And there is always at least one very good reason.

      We considered doing this version of the Doctor and Ryan, Yaz and Graham all suited and booted for a companion set. Can you work out why we didn’t and so did this figurine alone?

      @Neil – Is the reason you didn’t do this due to timings, the set was out in January when the Series was airing?

      Anyone else got any thoughts?

      Definitely one of those three soon, Chris.

      We so need a Styron to go with the superb Android Invasion Doctor and Sarah figurines – ‘want of trying’ sounds so ominous, we really hope you can work your magic please Neil…

    This is the type of figurine that the whole collection has been made for! Iconic ‘villain’, iconic look and iconic pose! The third doctor series figurines are some of my favourites in this collection too: the Doctor himself (both figures), the original Silurian, Sontaran Linx are so well crafted!

    Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!

    Wow, definitely getting this one!!! Beautifully produced!!! Come on Eaglemoss, how about a Stygron / a Kraal figurine please? Top of my most wanted list, followed by a Vogan / Vorus.

    Still no number issue with this figurine but I’m betting it’s 180

      180 is 13th Doctor in tux but it should be soon after

    • JL

      June 20th, 2020 - 1:35pm

      I believe 180 is the doctor in tuxedo from spyfall and 179 is river song

    Can we now ‘Milk’ the queen bat, now we,ve exhausted the ‘Remembrance’ classic and get some androzani figurines out there. The Magma creature SE, one of jeks Androids even stotz or morgus would be more than welcome.

      i hope the collection gets extended because if these are the last 20 figurines that we’re heading into, it’s a shame that some stories are still unrepresented when there is some great figurines still to do such as eldrad, hieronymous, foamasi, Solonian mutt, tractator, skovox blitzer etc. and instead we’re getting variants (i understand why they’re doing them and i still appreciate them but i would like to see new monsters, though saying that i really want to see missy and ashad as well as the cyber warriors which are all variants of already released villains)

    • The Ergon

      May 31st, 2020 - 6:16pm

      Thats why Individual story sets would be a good idea if there is no extension. Keep those 2 ,3 and 4 packs going. I moan occasionally about variants but i,d still them all.

      The need to doctor who figurine collection issue 200

    • Doug Who

      July 9th, 2020 - 6:14pm

      I know sets with Doctor variants sell better but I’d love to see ‘villains and monster’ sets if the main figurine collection ends. For example Maaga and Rill, Styggron with Android, the two Eldrads, Skagra with Krarg etc…

      Hope it goes on beyond 200, as JL says there are so many classic monsters and villains to do yet. Would love to see a Solonian Mutant and Foamasi get the Eaglemoss treatment and so many more.

      Loving the Ambassador figurine!

    it would have to be the axon monster because the axon man has been done i hope it is the ambassadors of death figurine i think it is funny when unit capture a soldier from the warehouse and the brigadier and the doctor question him and the doctor[ jon pertwee] goes back in and says call me sah to catch out the soldier as a sergeant.

      Even funnier when a soldier is gunned down or electrocuted. His identical twin brother is up and fighting fit. Good old HAVOC.

      Best is Monster of Peledon where a guard dies twice and then pops up for a third time in the background!

      We’ve had no pertwee figures for a while.
      Bring on the axon.

      I’d love to see a solonian mutt and axon as they’re two weird and wacky figurines

      Don’t forget sargent Benton he’s in Ambassadors of death too

      Apparently Axons and Krynoids are proving difficult to achieve, or so was once said. Id love one of each mind. There was something about the ‘Face’, in the head sculpt, of the Character versions of these i found odd looking.

      Ergon,
      They should take a leaf out of the Robert Harrop book and go down that route.
      Judging by their photos they seem to have managed it ok.
