January 18th, 2018 - 3:28pmYeah, the Kroton looks awesome! Just as good as that War Machine.

Mrs Davros
January 11th, 2018 - 3:32pmNot an essential figure in all honesty, and anyway, more often than not, the likeness and detail of the monsters and robots has been better than many of the human characters in my opinion.

January 9th, 2018 - 8:25pmI like it but here are 5 more if rather have first

Doctor Mysterio
January 9th, 2018 - 6:07amWhile I’d very much welcome Curator and Valeyard figures as part of the collection (as separate incarnations of the Doctor), I do think any further Doctor variants on already issued figurines should be released in a similar way that the two Bonus Daleks were a little while back. This could be the Hurdnall Doctor followed by repeats in different outfits, but I really can’t see there’s much demand for figures already collected when there are so many other things we want. (Companions!)
The Werewolf
January 9th, 2018 - 1:50pmNot everyone wants figures of companions you know. I just want more monsters.
The Werewolf
January 9th, 2018 - 1:50pmThat said, I don’t mind this figure.

January 9th, 2018 - 2:15amBecause Cushing isn’t under their license.

January 6th, 2018 - 10:41pmOr a peter Davison dressed up in tom bakers cloths version

January 6th, 2018 - 10:43pmThe point being this collection is only running to 180 id rather have 1 of each dr and as many enimes as possible
Sidney
January 6th, 2018 - 10:56pmI agree if you have 3 of each dr including jodie thats 39 issues

January 7th, 2018 - 8:45pmOr even k-9

January 8th, 2018 - 11:03pmThey will have to do that with all doctors as they all wore previous doctors outfits
Gareth Pugh
January 9th, 2018 - 10:18pmExcept McGann – his Doctor never wore the Seventh’s
The Werewolf
January 10th, 2018 - 1:40amThe Second Doctor didn’t wear the First Doctor’s clothes either because the clothes changed with him.

January 6th, 2018 - 10:01pmPersonally I like it and to be honest I would like other versions of other Doctors. Possibly the Curator, Trenzalore Eleventh Doctor and Pertwee and Troughton from Five Doctors.
The Werewolf
January 7th, 2018 - 4:10amI think the Curator is being done
booboo
January 6th, 2018 - 6:49pmI find this very interesting
its often said “why dont they give us what we want” on here across all brands like Eaglemoss, Character and titans
yet despite David Bradley coming top bar one of our poll for the 12th Doctors era (along with the “new” mondasian Cyberman which is arguably another already released figurine ) i have never seen such hostility towards an Eaglemoss release. these polls have 1000s of votes not just 20 or 30
seems like its damned if you do damned if you don’t!
Sidney
January 6th, 2018 - 8:19pmSo are you polling new who only figures?
Anonymous
January 6th, 2018 - 8:27pmThere was a poll for each Doctor, that was the Twelfth Doctor’s poll.

January 6th, 2018 - 2:57pmWe have already got a figurine of the first doctor. Personally I find this to be a silly decision. what’s next? three figurines of classic Davros portrayed by the different actors? the second actor to portray the decaying master? a clockwork man wearing different colour clothes? Blon Fel-Fotch the slitheen without her human disguise. mother Bloodtide the carrionite? a robot of Sherwood with a closed helmet. the hydro flax with Nardole’s head? a weeping angel in a different pose. Five more giant figurines of the Tardis but for a every doctor? a humanoid axon boy girl and woman? a robot Santa carrying a different instrument? Madame Vastra wearing a different outfit? The meta crisis Tenth Doctor? Mr Clever?
I can think of loads of figurine ideas they haven’t included yet. such as a God of Ragnarok The glass woman, K9, The cyber planner (classic), The elder of the Ood, a smiler or a winder, Sil the mentor, The werewolf, a Krillitane, a cyber shade, a Kroton, The Rani, Warriors of the deep Silurian and sea devil. a generic Time lord and the Dalek time controller
Jordan Scott
January 6th, 2018 - 4:36pmLol I personally would love them to do the other versions of Davros and wouldn’t mind the other decaying Master either, actually they probably will do one of him because I’m pretty sure they promised “every Master”.
Anonymous
January 6th, 2018 - 5:34pmBut you’ve asked for the elder ood which is basically just an Ood variant right?
The Living Shadow
January 6th, 2018 - 6:48pmI’d love to get all the variants of the Tardis exterior! They would look brilliant all in a row on display, especially at the scale of the figurines as the ones for the 5″ figures are a bit too large to display all together.
Also a non-hostile weeping angel would be welcomed in my books, as it’s quite iconic and would look good next to the other one which we got years ago (it would also allow new-comers to get a famous monster easily)
I do like all the new ideas you had though too- The Glass Woman from this years christmas episode would be particularly interesting to see!
Anonymous
January 6th, 2018 - 10:20pmAgreed. I’d love all the versions of Davros because, if you are truly a fan of Davros, you would know that the different Davros actually have a lot of things that are different! Different Tardis exteriors would be AWESOME!! I’d love to get Every Doctors Tardis including the very first “cylinder” shaped one! Just imagine how cool that would look on Display! Especially with their Doctors displayed next to them! I don’t see why everyone is complaining and making a fuss about this!? You don’t have to like every figurine they make, God knows I dont, but being a True Whovian fan, I can appreciate them for the work put into them and appreciate the fact that there are also fans that will love the ones I hate! It’s a simple fix for all the complainers…… Just don’t buy it! Oh, and if you are a subscriber,be happy that you have a new part for your Doctor Whp collection!
Jordan Scott
January 7th, 2018 - 1:11amI couldn’t agree more The Living Shadow, I’ve wanted TARDIS exterior variants since the beginning. I’d love to see the glass woman rendered as a figurine too, reminds me of the glass dalek which was apparently being looked into.
Anonymous
January 7th, 2018 - 2:26amThe glass Dalek sounds Awesome although I can see the point that since this figurine collection won’t go to infinity you want the best choices and choosing the exact same form of character just with different clothes and a new actor who is doing an impression of William Hartnell. If they are running out of monster ideas they could always start on companions. speaking of good guys in Doctor who I would love them to make figurines of Jenny and Strax (butler outfit) To go with Vastra. As for the Tardis well Although there are minimal differences to the exterior variants I would be okay with one classic Tardis not all of them though I wouldn’t mind them doing figurines of all the different Tardis Consoles. I am also a big Dalek and Davros Fan and Would love to see a classic Davros though probably the one from Genesis of the Daleks as it was his first appearance and we already have the Terry Malloy Davros in the Imperial Emperor casing. As for new figurines to make I wouldn’t mind having the Kandy Man, The genesis Ark, Dalek Thay with missing back panels, Dalek Jast with the syringe arm, The Movie Master, The judoon captain, The empress of the Racnoss, One of the robots from Dinosaurs on a spaceship (speaking of which I would have preferred a David Bradley figurine as Solomon),a Cloister Wraith, a Pyrovile possibly the scientist and Eternal Dalek. I would also like them to start a figurine collection for all the Doctor who Spaceships if they are feeling more ambitious.

January 6th, 2018 - 1:43pmEaglemoss should be “in for a jolly good smacked bottom”, releasing this, what were they thinking.
Anonymous
January 7th, 2018 - 2:30amI agree The Doctor being portrayed by David Bradley is a behind the scenes fact not an in law canon fact. Maybe they should do the other Doctors in alternate costumes so this one doesn’t look like the odd one out.
Anonymous
January 7th, 2018 - 4:22amThat’s definitely the intention going forward although nothing specific has been confirmed yet.
Anonymous
January 8th, 2018 - 9:39pmYea it’s a waste of an issue as we already have a first doctor figure could of had a better figure like a black guardian or movellan
The Werewolf
January 9th, 2018 - 3:51amYou mean The Black Guardian? I’d rather have David Bradley than the Black Guardian as a figure anyway.
Lady doctor
January 5th, 2018 - 11:46pmI’m all for bringing back old doctors for the odd episode but not the dead ones you can’t do them justice I’d like to see jodie meet up with Sylvester or Colin in a episode
T.A
January 6th, 2018 - 5:54pmIt was un needed to bring him back, they should off brought someone like Paul back for the Christmas special, instead.
Sidney
January 5th, 2018 - 11:23pmYou can dress king Kong up in the first doctors cloths and call him the doctor but at the end of the day william hartnell is the only first doctor I’m interested in
Pusher
January 5th, 2018 - 6:36pmI am happy with more variations, david bradley has made a lot of contributions to the first doctor so he does deserve this.
Harmony Gladstone wishy washy
January 6th, 2018 - 6:28amWhat contributions? One episode and a drama. What a waste of time this is. Much like the Christmas episode he was just a gimmick used as Moffat had run out of ideas.
Jordan Scott
January 6th, 2018 - 4:44pmHe was the star of a feature length docudrama about the show’s creation for the 50th, then appeared as the joint lead role in the Xmas special, and now he’s starring in his own Big Finish audio series – I think that more than qualifies for “contributions”.
T.A
January 6th, 2018 - 5:50pmI kind of get him playing the doctor in 50th special and kind off with twice upon a time, but what’s the point with him doing big finish, it looks like his trying to replace William
THE ERGON
January 6th, 2018 - 7:54pmNobody can replace William Hartnell but as an alternate continuation David Bradleys a fine choice. He doesn,t have to do an impression, Its his own stamp he puts on such an iconic character.I,m sure Hartnell himself would approve of choice.
T.A
January 6th, 2018 - 8:19pmYes he probably would, but I don’t want him to play the 1st doctor fo a long period of time, which I mean doing stuff like big finish or (which is unlikely) doing episodes which have been lost, if that happens then it would be like replacing this iconic character, you may say it’s flattering to do it, but I rather hear the audios that have William Hartnell speaking, not someone else.
THE ERGON
January 7th, 2018 - 12:44amWho doesn,t? And william hartnell has left an eternal legacy for fans but he isn,t here anymore and for people who like David Bradleys take on the 1st doctor or a continuation in some form this is ideal. Just not everyones cup of tea.
T.A
January 7th, 2018 - 12:52pmHe was great at the first doctor, but now a lot of people( especially new people to the show) will not want to watch because at what Moffat did.
the ergon
January 7th, 2018 - 1:09pmTheir loss. I don,t truly believe they all will. Theres always curiousity as the new series approaches. Besides Moffats gone and i for one will be hailing in this New era as a lot of people will.
T.A
January 7th, 2018 - 4:57pmYour right it is there loss, hopefully chibnall can add more to show, but my hopes aren’t high.
Professor
January 5th, 2018 - 5:53pmI am a subscriber and am having to get this, but it makes me wonder how often are figures going to come up that I am not really fussed about. I know as they do more and more figures, they can’t please everyone all the time but many more nonsense ones like this and I may have to cancel my subscription.
Alvin
January 5th, 2018 - 5:31pmI’ll get this…. only cos I’m a subscriber and have no choice, he’ll be demoted to the bottom shelf with all the other figurines I’m not overly fussed about 😀

January 4th, 2018 - 11:03pmAgreed.
Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 2:29pmGuess what, a lot of people have been demanding alternate Doctors. This has been there since day one pretty much and they’ve finally gotten around to it. They arguably have even more cause for this figure over some figures people have demanded over the years.
Zygon_invader
January 4th, 2018 - 2:40pmIf this collection is going on to 250 + then yeah but why not get everything done first theirs a lot of figures still to be done I personally don’t want 4 tom bakers or 3 peter davisons and so on
Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 2:44pmBecause if they get everything done first then throw out a bunch of Doctors at the end they’ll never make 250+
Sidney
January 4th, 2018 - 2:45pmThen why not do a doctor and his companions collection
Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 3:09pmBecause approval takes time, so releasing a new companion every fortnight/month would massively increase their workload.
The Werewolf
January 4th, 2018 - 11:10pmAnd that is probably why the Game of Thrones collection isn’t doing so well at the moment.

January 8th, 2018 - 1:40amMy brother is collecting the game of thrones figures he recieved a letter with his last delivery saying that instead of two figures a month it’s now two figures every two months
The Werewolf
January 8th, 2018 - 3:30amYes, I know, I don’t subscribe but I collect them and found out in a facebook group, the amount of time it takes to get approval is a likely factor for this decision. That’s why there are suddenly 3 generic characters in the space of less than 10 issues.

Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 1:34pmThis is probably the first ‘real-life’ figure they’ve produced. Like if they did a producer or a writer, the only prompting for this figure is purely the real-life actor. Within the fiction, they’ve already released this exact character.

January 4th, 2018 - 1:43pmI don’t know what you’re talking about. Theyve released Davros before and then did him again in his Remembrance look. This is just the same.

Gareth Pugh
January 4th, 2018 - 6:50pmReally depends on how you look at it – if you think in terms of ‘well, now we can have a figurine that commemorates the Christmas 2017 episode, then now we’ve got one. If you are someone who is up for them doing what Character Options did (a lot, in the end) for their action figures range and release different ‘eras-within-eras’ costume variants, then it’s a chance to get the hat/cloak/gloves/scarf outfit of the First Doctor. But if you’re not driven by either of those approaches, and instead think ‘have I got a representation of each Doctor’, then I can see why this might be a bit of a non-event. I’m up for it, on the ‘I’d like them to do a magazine covering off Capaldi’s swan song episode in some way’, and making the glass alien woman would be a tad tricky with their resins! Also – I am very sure we will get ‘big hitter’ enemies like Magus Greel, Sutekh etc. – as someone else says, putting all the ‘wish list biggies’ out sooner rather than later would end the range quicker, spacing them out keeps subscribers in for longer. I personally don’t resent that, some might.
Doctor Stu
January 4th, 2018 - 8:03pmIt’s the not the same because the two davros’ had competely different prosthetics, casings, designs and colors, there’s Davros of the classics and davros of the new era, with this argument you could make a point of it being useless to release more than one Dalek design. With the 1st doctor, these figurines aren’t good enough to produce an actors likeness and so we’re basically getting the exact hartnell again but just in different stance rather than a completely new design
Anonymous
January 4th, 2018 - 1:06pmNo, this will be going in storage! I didn’t like him as the 1st doctor so this is one that will not be displayed!

January 4th, 2018 - 1:08pmEven the fact that they still insist on including this is pretty offensive

Doctor Stu
January 4th, 2018 - 1:15pmThe thing is the figurine likeness isn’t human perfect anyway so it’s basically like them rereleasing the same figurine but just in a different pose I’m assuming because you’re not going to tell its David Bradley it’ll just be ‘generic bloke wearing hartnells clothes’
