Dr Who Figurine Collection #19 Skaro City Dalek
Dr Who Figurine Collection #19 SKaro City Dalek
Celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who this fantastic new figurine collection. The series draws from every era show and includes all eleven versions of the Doctor plus his greatest monsters.
All the figurines are carefully produced in 1:21 scale, and cast in a specially formulated metallic resin before being painted by hand and individually numbered.
The specially formulated resin and high quality sculpting allow the figurines to reproduce an incredible level of detail right down to the mesh in the Silurian Warrior’s uniform and the controls on Davros’s console.
Each figurine recreates a specific moment from the TV series in loving detail and every sculpt is based on detailed study of the original production photography, props and drawings.
The collection features several different versions of the Daleks and Cybermen allowing you to trace their evolution over the years.
This is the definitive Doctor Who figurine collection.
Please check www.dw-figurines.com for more information or visit their facebook page.
Most issues are available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com

Owen
October 25th, 2014 - 2:29pmOh right. Do you have any spares of Classic Figures (Not Figurine Collection) At the mo? Or spare daleks?

May 17th, 2014 - 6:39pmgot mine today after a delay and half of the eggs aren’t painted and the sucker looks broken.

May 17th, 2014 - 11:11pmThe circle things on the daleks are eggs

May 17th, 2014 - 11:17pmAsk them for a replacement and they’ll send you another one.
The Werewolf
May 18th, 2014 - 3:11amThey’re spheres not eggs. Eggs are quite different.
And Totter is right, you shouldn’t need to put up with broken figurines.

May 18th, 2014 - 3:13amEveryone calls them eggs now.
Ever since they were called that in alsylum
Anonymous
May 20th, 2014 - 3:18pmI thought they were called “Dalek bumps” after The Curse of Fatal Death (also Time Lord slang for a part of the female anatomy apparently).
Renegade86
June 4th, 2014 - 5:13pmThe technical term used by Dalek builders is “hemis” :-p
The Twelfth Doctor
October 25th, 2014 - 12:48pmActually, they weren’t called ‘eggs’ in the Dalek Asylum. That was one of the Daleks attempting to say ‘exterminate’.

everyone still knows them as eggs now

May 13th, 2014 - 8:31pmHow tall are these figurines? About the same height as the 3.75″ action figures?
76 Totters Lane
May 13th, 2014 - 8:40pmYes.
Bob
May 13th, 2014 - 8:41pmOk great thanks, might need to start collecting these
booboo
May 13th, 2014 - 8:50pmvery slightly smaller

May 11th, 2014 - 10:21amBrought mine today, excellent figure. One of the best daleks so far

May 11th, 2014 - 12:50ammy old dear got me this from whsmith and the plunger arm is slightly bent, should i get her to take it back to the shop?
The Werewolf
May 11th, 2014 - 1:51amDepends how bad it is.
Doctor Rules
May 10th, 2014 - 12:33pmAbsolutely awful figurine. I wish eaglemoss would do sole thing about this, rather than upload stupid pictures of birthday cakes, videos from youtube and drawings.
Radburn
May 11th, 2014 - 3:02amAgreed! If I never see another ‘Humorous’ Dalek-Whatever parody again – It will still be too soon!
Martin Fahey
May 2nd, 2014 - 9:37pmI’ll give the company their due, my Emperor Dalek arrived with both top ‘light’s damaged. The company sent a full replacement within a week.
Shane
May 9th, 2014 - 4:35pmDid you have to send back the damaged one though?
The Werewolf
April 27th, 2014 - 9:14pmDoes anyone know what the closest Games Workshop colour is to the blue used on the spheres on this dalek?
Vortexsurfer
April 29th, 2014 - 8:39amIf it’s the same as the 5″ Character Options Daleks, then Teclis Blue is the shade you want.

April 25th, 2014 - 2:35pmMine is in very good condition and looks very good I dont see why everyone is complaining because they can’t get every figurine perfect.
Anonymous
April 25th, 2014 - 2:42pmNo they can’t, but when many people start having problems there are definite issues.
Trenzalore
April 25th, 2014 - 2:49pmIt doesn’t seem to me like many people are having problems. It’s just the people who have had problems are louder than the people who haven’t.
booboo
April 25th, 2014 - 3:00pmthat is very true, and there are also huge variations in what different people would call “acceptable”
There are however many people commenting on their facebook page and other sites about the painting of these so this is something they need to address i think
Alvin Amey
April 25th, 2014 - 3:01pmI’m glad you have a very good condition figure that looks very good.
I too would like to have very good condition figure that looks very good, after all I paid the same price you did so therefore should get the same.
Perhaps if you received the figure I got then perhaps you would also be complaining.
Trenzalore
April 25th, 2014 - 3:43pmI would complain about the sculpting definitely but I’m not too bothered about the paint. As I said below I have already had a few figures with dodgy painted but have decided to ignore it since they have explained it’s hand painted and there’s bound to be problems.
But I agree with everyone that they could be doing a little more to resolve this problem 🙂
JDP Manjoume
April 25th, 2014 - 4:00pmThe paint job on mine is fine, the gunstick on the other hand….
Me
April 26th, 2014 - 2:29pmConsidering the price of the magazine, the figurines should be a lot better than they are. The only figurines I have seen which I feel are acceptable would be: Davros, The Weeping Angel, The Silurian, The Last Dalek, The Silent and Omega.
Moodbeam
April 27th, 2014 - 4:32pmIf you had received the figurine I got I think you would be saying something different right now. I’ve not complained once so far even though I’ve had some figures that are far below the standard I would expect. Yet the Dalek I received this week is truly awful. The globes are barely painted blue, there’s white paint blobs all over the dome from the painting of the lights, there’s black lines all over the sides of the ‘railing’ on the dome, the grey line around the middle of the Dalek has made it’s way to almost every part of the figure…
Moodbeam
April 27th, 2014 - 4:35pm…the black paint which is supposed to cover the base has also made it’s way up the body of the Dalek, and, finally, the gunstick is bent upwards to a very noticeable degree. I understand they’re all painted by hand but when I’m paying good money I don’t expect work this shoddy. If I saw it in a shop I wouldn’t buy it so why would it be any different just because it came through the post. The figure is below the standards I expect and that I’ve been promised, it’s therefore well within my rights to request a replacement which is what I’ve done
The Werewolf
April 27th, 2014 - 4:45pmIf people didn’t demand replacements for paintjobs they could modify themselves there’d be more figurines left for replacements for people who actually need it, and to make sure more subscribers get their figurines as soon as possible and enough for the shops too.
That said, if you think the paintjob looks like it was applied by a half-blind monkey, then go for it. The amount of effort Eaglemoss put into it was insufficient (in your case that is) and should have more time spent on it.
Good on you moonbeam
The Werewolf
April 27th, 2014 - 4:46pmJust in case, “good on you” is not sarcasm, it is genuine.
Moodbeam
April 27th, 2014 - 5:27pm@ The Werewolf
1) I shouldn’t have to repaint it myself, I pay for it to be done for me.
2) I do actually need it. If they don’t have enough to supply the demand that’s not my fault; perhaps if they didn’t make such a mess of so many of them they wouldn’t have a demand which is outstripping supply. They’re now launching this in America; perhaps they should think about sorting out the issues over here first?
3) Shops should come second to subscribers; we give them a guaranteed income, not shops.
I’m yet to see a decent Skaro City Dalek.
Moodbeam
April 27th, 2014 - 5:29pmI think they’ve obviously had issues with this batch but I’m hoping it doesn’t happen again. I’ve received much more complex figures with no problems at all (Fourth Doctor for example) so to get a Dalek with quality this poor really upsets me. I hope my replacement is better. They need to sort out their quality control and check issues the first time they go out; it’s no good waiting for people to request replacements. I dread to think how high their waste costs are what with replacements and having to pay for another parcel to be sent out.
Moodbeam
April 27th, 2014 - 5:32pmIf they get my stringent quality control checks in place before they send out issues I’m sure they would save a lot of money and would also have much happier customers. This collection has the potential to be amazing but it won’t be until they sort out these problems. We’re eight months in now; I’ve had hoped they would have got everything in hand by now. Anyway, other than my Dalek, I’m really enjoying collecting these and I can’t wait for my next delivery.
Alvin Amey
April 24th, 2014 - 5:43pmI’m very disappointed with this figurine, the hemispheres are poorly painted, the sucker arm was bent out of shape. (I managed to straighten the arm but the plunger is still at an odd angle.
JoePlaysGames
April 24th, 2014 - 5:14pmAaw i cant wait for this to be out!
P.S My 11th Doctor fell and his tweet jacket and arm fell off! 😥
Me
April 24th, 2014 - 4:38pmI stopped buying this magazine ages ago. I have never seen merchandise more disappointing in my entire life. I wish I’d never even started buying it, waste of money! 😡
Spookyville
April 24th, 2014 - 2:13pmThat picture is one of the better ones I have seen – check out their Facebook page for plenty of photos of what subscribers are getting and it is not worth the money we are paying.
Radburn
April 24th, 2014 - 4:41pmEaglemoss spend far too much time on their Facebook page uploading ‘funny’ Who videos & pictures, instead of actually sorting out their concerned customer’s poor quality control issues…
Doctor Rules
April 24th, 2014 - 7:55pmvery true. it’s shocking, I asked many complaints, received no reply, the only reply was a video from youtube of weeping angels. 😡 My Tom Baker was awful and my vashta nerada was weak. If the Judoon commander is bad which im getting tomorrow i may stop collecting.

Andy Hall
April 24th, 2014 - 1:10pmJust cancelled my subscription. The paintwork on the figures is hit or miss – most of the time a giant miss!
Rather spend my money on better Who merchandise.
madmanwithabox
April 24th, 2014 - 5:21pmCompletely disagree
Moodbeam
April 24th, 2014 - 8:13pmNothing wrong with the sculpting at all, it’s the paintwork that’s causing the problems. Hence I’m getting a replacement. -_-
GregTheWhovian
April 23rd, 2014 - 8:13pmDoesn’t look very well made. I looks as if it was an airfix painted by an 8 year old.
Trenzalore
April 23rd, 2014 - 8:21pmIt’s actually really good (or at least mine is) I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend buying it.
Moodbeam
April 24th, 2014 - 8:14pmThey’re incredibly well made, unfortunately far too many of them aren’t painted very well. The model itself though is very good. If you can find one in a shop that’s well painted then I too would recommend buying it.
Trenzalore
April 24th, 2014 - 8:20pmOn most of my figures there has been some kind of paint application problem but I’ve just decided to ignore it. Since it’s hand painted and they haven’t covered the fact it’s hand painted, people should have expected slip ups.
The Silent Silent
April 23rd, 2014 - 5:24pmFor some reason my dalek has a silver painted eye piece and not white ?

April 23rd, 2014 - 6:26pmso does mine, they claim to be accurate…
