May 7th, 2019 - 3:38pmI certainly don,t want this collecton to end anytime soon. There are 4 davros incarnations that need releasing and too many classics and variations IE: Axon Woman/child and creature, pegdolls (at least 2 there), you get my drift. Why would something so successful end at just 180. I think we need special packs to get most of the ones we want out.
Ade
May 7th, 2019 - 1:51pmI do hope the collection goes way past 180 so many brilliant monsters still to create , I’m really enjoying the collection .
booboo
May 7th, 2019 - 1:54pmsame, the longer it goes on the more likely it is people will get all their boxes ticked, and there will never be another chance i’m sure.

May 7th, 2019 - 2:44pmTotally agree I will be kind of disappointed if it ends at 180 their are so many more that I’m hoping for so fingers crossed it gets extended again
Daddio
May 6th, 2019 - 9:31pmI really hope The Borad will be coming up before 180! He’d make a terrific figurine
Agree would like to see some more obscure ones, Mire Beast, A Fungoid, Dracula, Frankenstein, Drahvin, Chumblie, Rill, Master Plan delegates, Bret Vyon, Abbot of Amboise, Captain Pike, Fish Person, Prof Zaroff, Toberman (part converted), Salamander, The Dominators, Servo Robot, The War Chief, The War Lord, Dragon (Mind of Evil), Uxariean Primitive, Uxariean Priest, Uxariean Guardian, IMC Robot, The Controller (Day of the Daleks), Arcturus, Mutt, Kronos, Spiridon, Bellal, T-Rex, Vega Nexos, Giant Clam, Anti-Man, Kraal, Hieronymous, Nucleus of the Swarm, Seer (Underworld), The Seeker, Ogri, Taran Wood Beast, Kroll, Drax, Movellan, Erato, Krarg, Chronotis, Skagra, Meglos, Biroc, Geoffrey Beevers Master, Harlequin, Kalid, Plasmaton, Xeraphin, The Ergon, The Garm, Kamelion, Malus, The Gravis, Lytton (REALLY want him), Mestor, Azmael, Griffiths, Cryon, Glitz, King Yrcanos, Posicarian, Chief Caretaker/Kroagnon, Nemesis statue, Light, Eric Roberts
And of course the obvious “why haven’t they done” The Monk, The Rani, Celestial Toymaker, Black Guardian, The Kandyman, Morton Dill etc
Badwolf359
May 7th, 2019 - 6:03pmMorton Dill obvious? He was in one scene! Sooner have a John Cleese on that logic.
Daddio
May 7th, 2019 - 6:26pmI wasn’t being entirely serious BadWolf 😉 Wouldn’t say no to a John Cleese though!
The Flying Shark
May 7th, 2019 - 8:48pmA more obvious choice would be the soldier who killed the pig in Aliens of London.

May 5th, 2019 - 12:32pmHello, if the range continues beyond 180, I hope that Eaglemoss does a few obscure or unpopular monsters from the classic series, that would make good figures. I’d like Exxilons, Kraals, Taran Woodbeast,, Movellons,Nimon, Meglos, Kraargs from Shada, Foamasi, Droid from The Visitation, The Mara etc.
Anonymous
May 5th, 2019 - 2:07pmFrom the new series it would be cool to see an anne droid, a werewolf, a krillitane, an abzorbaloff,a hoix, a racnoss or lazarus creature(but the legs may be weak), an adult pyrovile, Donna with time beetle, a vinvocci, a saturnyne creature from vampires in Venice or krafayis, headless monk, a peg doll, a corroded cyberman, a shakri, a weeping angel statue of liberty, a snowman, a spoonhead, grandfather, a hide creature, a creature from journey to the centre of the tardis, a skovox blitzer, a flatline creature, missy, person with dream crab, a ghost, leandro, dust creature, Heather creature, eater of light creature and glass woman

May 5th, 2019 - 7:38pmThere are so many from all eras
Neil Corry
May 5th, 2019 - 9:52pmTo John: one of those before 180.
To Anonymous (and I’m not keen on replying to anons on here because I don’t quite understand why you’re anon, but hey ): that’s a list and a half, but I think definitely four of those.
Remember, there will always be disappointment because we likely won’t be able to do everything. We hope you’re enjoying the collection as much as we are in making it

Moodbeam
May 11th, 2019 - 8:34pmTo be honest I think it’s criminal that we’ve not had the Snowman, Werewolf, Pegdoll and Headless Monk already. I’d love the Skovox Blitzer too as I feel that Capadli is still underrepresented in the series particularly versus the other modern eras.
TORCHWOODFAN1
May 11th, 2019 - 9:50pmPeter is only just behind mart Smith if you include companion sets, but yes as he’s my favourite, I’d have preferred a face the raven set with red coat capaldi and blue jumper Clara. Purple coat 11 with river song name of the doctor set, grey coat capaldi with nardole and green coat 11 with Rory too!

TORCHWOODFAN1
May 11th, 2019 - 10:03pmI believe missy is also in the pipelines for the 12th doctor era. A snowman, headless monk, peg doll, dream lord and possibly a shakri seem most feasible. Leandro could be done for 12 and possibly Heather. Or a cybus design mondasian cyberman with circular chest plate, possibly with the production error blue chest plate.
Steven
May 4th, 2019 - 6:33amIs someone able to tell me where the chronology is up to is this issue? (ie from the Six Decades of Doctor Who section)
The Flying Shark
May 4th, 2019 - 7:29amIt finished in Issue 133, since then it’s been replaced with features on the monsters of Doctor Who.
Steven
May 4th, 2019 - 11:15amThanks. I’m only up to issue 118 in Australia. Is there any way to catch up to issue 153 without paying much more per issue?

May 3rd, 2019 - 12:13pmAny idea on the next classic figure, hoping for a Bok or Melkur figure
Neil Corry
May 3rd, 2019 - 2:32pmWe’ve scheduled up to issue 167, and planned up to issue 180 (including special editions, the rare Dalek series for premium subscribers, the companion sets and… something else).
Unfortunately, neither Bok (which would be a regular issue) or Melkur (which would likely be a special edition) have made the list. If we go past 180 they may well do, however.
There has been no confirmation that the collection will go past issue 180. Lots of things have to be worked out before any decision is made.
I can confirm that we have some really nice classic series figurines coming up though as well as mix of 21st-century Who.
Badwolf359
May 3rd, 2019 - 4:15pmThe Melkur costume is about 7 foot tall which is about the same size as the Fisher King (or less) and not much different than an Ice Warrior. Unless he’s “Krotonized” I think you could get away with him in the main collection.
Anonymous
May 3rd, 2019 - 4:26pm(and… something else) wonder what that will be, what a tease you are. Looking forward to whatever may come. Thanks to Mr Corry and the team for such a great collection. Hope it carries on well last 180.

May 1st, 2019 - 5:15pmOff topic a bit but the companion sets 4 and 5 are out for pre order on forbidden planet!
booboo
May 1st, 2019 - 5:22pmyes was hoping EM would have them on by now, also we had to wait for a price correction as they were listed at £37.99! (corrected now)
Arthur
May 1st, 2019 - 5:41pmFinally another 12 variant haha
The ergon
May 1st, 2019 - 7:41pmGot mine in early. You never know if and when your going to get them especially after that 10th and Rose debacle. If eaglemoss open them on their site i shall order there as well just to be sure and first come first served.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2019 - 8:10pmUnfortunately it was those of us who tried to get in early that lost out with 10/Rose, it was the pre-orders that they “forgot” after all.
The Werewolf
May 1st, 2019 - 8:33pmYeah, pre-ordering is no guarantee on eaglemoss site, I’d wait till they’re in stock. On FP a pre-order is probably okay though, just no free postage.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2019 - 8:36pmI’ll do my usual routine: Which is Order from FP, then Eaglemoss don’t send them any stock. I then cancel the Order & have to try & find them elsewhere? I’m very surprised that Eaglemoss Products are still available from FP; but I can only suppose that there is a bottom line there, that bring’s them in some ££££££?
The ergon
May 1st, 2019 - 9:43pmWell i got mine in early and it turned out alright, i got both the 4th doc/ sarah just a day or so before 10th and Rose came, that was around Sept/oct. Its understandable why some people might be miffed and can,t understand why Eaglemoss didn,t wait till all the orders were in (at least in the first few weeks, to establish how many first orders were required). I,ve just preordered with FP as a backup but will order from Eaglemoss when they put up also. Whoever despatches first gets my money.

May 2nd, 2019 - 4:18pmEaglemoss can’t be faulted for delivery. Ordered yesterday afternoon, delivered this morning just after 9.00am. Unfortunately the companion figurines of Tom and Liz, Matt & Karen were dreadfully painted. The TARDIS console was very nice though.

The Flying Shark
May 1st, 2019 - 3:21pmThey’re bound to do multiple variants with each companion for those sets, so it could be scarf with Graham, Rosa purple top with Yaz and bumbag with Ryan.
philip shaw
May 1st, 2019 - 2:01pmSorry a bit off Kerblam topic, but does anyone know what happened to the Tennant/Piper companion set? I’m a bit behind ordering the new companion figurines and refuse to start if there is going to always be a missing set…

May 1st, 2019 - 2:09pmthe initial batch sold much quicker than expected, FP had stock until yesterday, EM site are expecting more

May 1st, 2019 - 11:42amIt’s frustrating when I want to give Eaglemoss my money but they insist on realeasing months worth of rubbish! By the time the good stuff comes out again I’ll have forgotten about the range. I’ll forgive them if the next classic is a Morphoton Brain!
Anonymous
May 1st, 2019 - 1:58pmAnd the same conversation begins again…
The Flying Shark
May 1st, 2019 - 3:23pmLots of people want a Kerblam man. Classics will get released eventually, but it’s no good complaining about new series figurines because you’d be outnumbered-they are more popular and keep sales going-without the new series, there’d be no classics. There aren’t even that many-maybe at the start of the collection when it needed to get off the ground, but they’re more evenly spaced now.
NEIL CORRY
May 1st, 2019 - 3:37pmThe Morphoton Brain is unlikely to happen because of the transparent casing they came in.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2019 - 3:40pmThat’s the other thing people have to take into consideration – the practicality of actually making a character.
The ergon
May 1st, 2019 - 5:01pmUnless you do a deflated brain minus casing that Barbara goes all mental on. Its still something.
Stephen
May 6th, 2019 - 8:06pmThanks for replying Neil, that’s a shame 🙁 the TARDIS console came with a similar plastic casing for the central column, something like that could not be done here I take it? Maybe an Ice Soldier instead
John Sissons
May 1st, 2019 - 10:37amPersonally I dread anything being released from series 11 but that is the price of having a subscription. Plus there are a few out there who enjoyed the new Chibnall era so cannot deny them the figures. I just sell them off everytime the inevitable series 11 issue arrives.
Daz
May 2nd, 2019 - 11:24amMuch much more than a few enjoyed series 11 and I’m one of them, I Can’t wait for my (hope they are modeling one now) Pting figure!…as well as this cool Kerblam chap!
Anonymous
May 3rd, 2019 - 9:33amNope… not much more than a few!!! It’s the most divisive series of Doctor Who! Any series that pulls apart the fandom that much means there’s something drastically wrong. It just wasn’t a good series in comparison to the whole lot of Doctor Who Series!
Anonymous
May 27th, 2019 - 7:47pmAnd yet it gained the highest ratings in years. Trouble is the whingers shout louder than those of us who liked it
The Werewolf
May 27th, 2019 - 7:53pmIt’s the same as with Star Wars, the vocal minority shouts the loudest, and because of this thinks that there are more than there are.
Fred
April 30th, 2019 - 11:42pmI enjoyed this episode and I don’t remember why, because these guys were nowhere near as creepy as they looked in the trailer.
What else is there from Series 11 though? SniperBot perhaps, Pting inevitably (…), Krasko surely not, Thijurian (is that it?) probably. Not a lot monster-wise, though I did very much enjoy some of the episodes.

April 30th, 2019 - 11:07pmIt’s the Kerblam Man!, Love the Karblam Man!
If I end up ordering this online and it ships in plenty of bubble wrap, I will be soooo happy!
Junkyard Dalek would be awesome! That’s a pretty cool Dalek.
Daz
May 2nd, 2019 - 11:26amI want the frog, It’s one of those weird only in Doctor who moments!
philip shaw
April 30th, 2019 - 11:05pmPlease don’t do the frog on the chair at the expense of losing a classic figure in it’s place…and do we need another Tim Shaw (no relation!)
Who rules
April 30th, 2019 - 11:47pmYes to both. My daughter wants the frog desperately and tzim sha with open helmet
The Flying Shark
May 1st, 2019 - 7:25amI don’t understand why people are so worked up whenever we get a new series figure. To me, it’s much more exciting than a classic as it’s brand new and isn’t something we’ve had before in another range. I’m sure the collection will go on beyond 180 as it’s so popular, not to mention all the specials and bonus editions, so I’m sure there’ll be space for everybody’s favourites. Personally, I won’t be happy until we get the Abzorbaloff.
philip shaw
May 2nd, 2019 - 10:15amI’m a subscriber and collect every figurine and specials, Dalek’s, etc, and don’t want to be classed as a new series figure hater. I’d love to see the junk Dalek, a mud witch, kerblam man is coming, I’ don’t even mind a Pting, I just thought a frog on a chair would not only be difficult to do, as the chair has thing legs, but is not good enough to warrant a figure.
I’m sure if people want a frog on a chair badly enough then can buy a dolls house chair and a small frog from Ebay and make their own.

April 30th, 2019 - 8:25pmAnother one my daughter wants. Along with the paradigm dalek. Damn you Neil, you’re costing me a fortune! She loves them though so I’ll happily be poor!
The ergon
April 30th, 2019 - 8:54pmDon,t mention Robert Harrop figurines to her then. That would dent your wallet a bit over the Year. The kerblam man figurine itself is a rather cool addition to this collection, so you can,t deny her this.
Who rules
April 30th, 2019 - 9:24pmOh I’d never say no, she really wants more Jodie era figures and she’s excited about the troughton/Jamie set. I don’t buy much now for myself, just fiction books and DVDs so I don’t mind buying stuff for her
Who rules
May 1st, 2019 - 12:57pmI did pay a lot of money for a big chief Amy pond last year for her birthday, but Amy is her favourite companion and when it originally came out she was too young to really look after it.
Anonymous
May 1st, 2019 - 1:34pmAha! the old “I’m buying things for the family, not really for myself” excuse.
Been there, done that, and now it’s not ‘my’ collection anymore, it’s ‘the family’ collection of Who items.
On the plus side, ‘the’ collection’s grown quite big (even if it is split across different households now) . Watch out for ” could I just get such and such a piece from you, ‘cos it will go with my other set of … perfectly”.
This observation comes to you from someone who
a. should know better
b. is considered too old to be interested in a ‘kids tv programme’
c. doesn’t care what anyone says, Doctor Who is an excellent multi-generational programme that all should enjoy (even if there are some episodes that I’m indifferent about, other family members really like ’em)
The ergon
May 1st, 2019 - 1:49pmAnd how can you not love Amy Pond, right?
Who rules
May 1st, 2019 - 1:59pmOh yes, still one of my own favourite companions.
Who rules
May 1st, 2019 - 2:16pmAnonymous, it really is her collection. She pays for some out of her pocket money, I buy her others for her doing extra chores, doing well at school etc, but the collection is hers and if one day she decides to get rid of them I won’t interfere or keep them for myself. My collection is books and DVDs. My book collection is at 3000 at the moment and my DVD at around 1000. The only items I would insist on keeping are her big chief figures, Amy and Clara due to the costs and limited nature. She wants the Jodie figure but that is going to depend on costs and availability at the time it comes out. I personally can look at these figures and say that’s a good one but if it’s one she’s not interested in it doesn’t get bought. I quite liked the sensorite and the terileptil but she didn’t want them so they didn’t get bought.
The ergon
April 30th, 2019 - 8:21pmI,m pleased this is next after the paradigm dalek. I hope theres a run of monsters from series 11 as they did when they released those from Capaldis final season. Was sort of hoping for reveals up to at least Issue 155 but i,m sure Neil Corry will announce anytime soon.
The Flying Shark
April 30th, 2019 - 8:57pmSame, hoping the series 11 figures will be spaced out one every two issues like a mini wave. The Junkyard Dalek is a must, and they could also do an unmasked Tim Shaw from Ranskoor Av Kolos, a Sniperbot, a Thijarian, the Morox, Ribbons, maybe a giant Spider special and, of course, the Pting and the Solitract.
Dav McKenzie
April 30th, 2019 - 11:30pmI’d love a series 11 mini wave although the less said about the Arachnids in the UK the better
