Doctor Who Figurine Collection Updates
Some interesting comments on twitter
So in short, if people keep on buying planned specials of…
- Yeti
- Agador
- Azal
- Wirrn
- The war machine
and “bonus” Doctor / Companion twin packs, Doctors have a different pose / costume.
.@LonelyGod It would. Double packs – Doctor and companion

.@grAhAmEmitchell @stuart621 @gswrites Then after that a War Machine and a Wirrn… Oh, and before that, Azal.

.@stuart621 @grAhAmEmitchell @gswrites I've got some other specials planned first – a Yeti (of course) and Aggedor

November 9th, 2016 - 10:08pmHow are they going to produce a full list? There’s episodes that haven’t even been written yet, never mind broadcast that will be out and need figures as well by issue 120.

The Werewolf
November 4th, 2016 - 7:35pmThe specials look great, especially looking forward to Yeti, Azal and Wiirn.
I am also pleased about the other thing because I’m glad they will not force subscribers to buy companions or repeat Doctors if they don’t want them.
prototype dalek
November 5th, 2016 - 9:17amAgreed, i will mainly foucus on any new Daleks, already got all the standard Daleks, 7 subscriber Daleks and the 2 bonus Daleks.

November 4th, 2016 - 1:56pmI wonder if the Doctor/Companions thing will be anything to do with the five doctors figures they’ve talked about?
Anonymous
November 4th, 2016 - 2:08pmNo this will be completely different.
If they do The Five Doctors figures I could see it being a separate side set (possibly 1:1 scale authentic replicas).

November 4th, 2016 - 12:14pmCompanions! Yes!!! Now we’re talking! Hope we get these packs.
1st and Susan
2nd and Jamie
3rd and Jo
4th and Sarah Jane
5th and Regan
6th and Peri
7th and Ace
8th and Grace
9th and Rose
10th and Martha/ or Donna (how will they chose? )
11th and Amy
12th and Clara.
They would be better off just doing companions twin sets or individually.
Amy and Rory
Rose and Jack
Barbera and Ian
Sarah and Harry etc
The Outcast
November 4th, 2016 - 12:31pmProbably the most popular companions of each era (yet again, don’t collect this range so I could be wrong). So most of your list seems correct (for 10 it would probably be Donna as she is far more popular), though I don’t know if they will do a Mcgann one, as they might not be able to get the rights for Grace (maybe they could do an Audio companion?). Part of me also wonders if they will do more than 1 of these packs for each Doctor if they sell well.

November 4th, 2016 - 12:34pmThey may not have to choose all depends on how well it does.
Putting a Doctor in is definitely sensible. While it slows down the rate we get companions at compared to a twin set of companions it increases the interest (as more people will want Doctors than companions) and so with a more profitable range more figures can be released.

November 4th, 2016 - 12:11pmSeeing the wirrn and aggedor this is all my christmases and birthdays coming at once and if its true about the doctor companion twin packs i,m in seventh heaven.

November 4th, 2016 - 10:29amIt’s about time they finally started doing companions! Really don’t understand why they’ve neglected them and refused to acknowledge their importance in Doctor Who all this time. And to see them coupled with different Doctor costumes/poses is really great.

November 4th, 2016 - 10:34amTo be honest the “human” figures are the weakest when it comes to any die cast figurine scupt becuase of the lack of facial detail – I understand why they have focused more on monsters – the figurines look better. That said,, I agree these double packs are an exciting prospect. Even if we just get a decent 11th Doctor – the poorest figurine yet both in terms of detail and the very specific pose.
booboo
November 4th, 2016 - 10:41amits also a minefield, assuming one companion per Doctor how do you decide?
your never going to keep everyone happy on this
ahunter8056
November 4th, 2016 - 2:53pmTo be perfectly honest, they only captured a decent likeness for about half of the Doctors, but they still made all of them anyway. The thing with figurines of this size, is that we look at them from a distance rather than close-up, so we’re only really looking at the costume, which they’ve managed to more or less nail every time. So facial likeness-wise, it’s not a total failure if they don’t get it right, so long as it loosely resembles the character’s face. It’s only really the costume they need to get right.
In response to booboo’s point, it’s not a given that they have to stick to one companion per Doctor. It could start out that way for the initial 12, but then expand it after those have finished. Of course they’re never going to keep everybody happy, but some companions are more iconic and sought after than others. For example, it would be a much safer choice to initially pair the Second Doctor with Jamie, than the Second Doctor with Victoria. Likewise, it would be safer to pair the Tenth Doctor with Donna than the Tenth Doctor with Martha (personally I would rather take Martha, but I acknowledge that Donna is more popular).

November 4th, 2016 - 4:13pmthey could easily mix and match doctors different outfits with a different companion surely?

November 4th, 2016 - 10:29amAny news on how they are going to manage the Sub only Daleks now the collection has gone beyond its orginal number. We are now paying extra money but have not been told what they plan to do…they owe us.
booboo
November 4th, 2016 - 10:34amthey have said there will be more rare Daleks
Gareth Pugh
November 4th, 2016 - 10:48amYes, they’ve revealed this via Twitter and their FB page. Rare Dakeks are continuing, same rate of one every 10 issues. The next 2 are both from the Second Doctor era (# 8 = the so-called ‘Wilkie Dalek’ from Evil of the Daleks, # 9 = the Embryo Technician Dalek from Power of the Daleks), and they’ve said # 10 might be the one from the Death Zone in The Five Doctors.
