January 7th, 2021 - 7:08pmLet’s look at this with hope:
Dr Stu has said there was an image in the monster vault book, and as I don’t own it I don’t know if it is black and white or colour (probably b&w). We know Eaglemoss does b&w monster as colour on the front of the mag, so maybe this is a placeholder while they colourise the photo and work it into a better background?
Mrs Croot
January 7th, 2021 - 7:09pmThen again, why do it’s reflection in the background then?

January 7th, 2021 - 7:47pmThe decent photos are also on the DVD in the photo gallery

January 7th, 2021 - 7:54pmI’ve a feeling it’s the actual cover and the figurines going to be the animated version.
I’m fine with it, an animated version is much better than no version at all.
Doctor Stu
January 7th, 2021 - 11:42pmThe pics in colour and quite HD, I think it was done by the same artist who does the high quality images for the Doctor Who TV website character and monster guides. The book is definitely worth getting, really well made, high quality and there’s lots of extra information and facts in there that aren’t told to you on screen. It’s like the sort of world building the Star Wars information guides give you where the random pink Alien has a whole backstory and a bunch of cool information about themselves

January 7th, 2021 - 3:38pmStill no Styggron or Bellal figures….
Brodie
January 7th, 2021 - 5:38pmOr how about the Peter Davidson Chameleon?

January 7th, 2021 - 11:57amGlad to see the collection including the Chameleon. I don’t really mind what version they use televised or animated as a basis.

January 7th, 2021 - 11:28amI think it must be the animation version. Why else use the animation cover? There are enough photos (telesnaps admittedly) to be able to do an original and there are good quality images for a cover so I do think this will be the animated version. Which is fine.
Doctor Stu
January 7th, 2021 - 10:49amThere’s a clear HD image of these in the monster vault book that was released recently, couldn’t they use that as reference for the face instead of animation

January 7th, 2021 - 10:27amLooking forward to this one. If the cost is in sculpting maybe a variant in paint finish could allow both animated and real versions. In the Alien/Predator range by Eaglemoss they did a version based on the video games that was a repaint of the standard figures. Could do animated box set with repainted versions, like Colin Baker in blue coat.

January 7th, 2021 - 1:45amI really hope the Chameleon figurine is the televised version and not the animated version.
However one animated figure I would hope to have, although very unlikely to be done, is a Viperox. I think it would make a fantastic special issue. (Could even be a set with an animated version of the 10th Doctor and Cassie).

January 7th, 2021 - 1:40amThis is really cool, but I hope it’s the on-screen version, as animated opens a whole new can of worms
Prototype dalek
January 6th, 2021 - 10:28pmIt will probably just be the cover like the 6th doctor “real time”, though certainly an interesting choice.
bob hellier
January 6th, 2021 - 8:11pmgood to see the chamelons as a figurine hopefully arcturus from the curse of peladon will be a figurine one day
Doug Who
January 6th, 2021 - 7:51pmGreat they are doing this figurine but I agree with other here and hope they can follow how they originally appeared on screen rather than the animated ‘reimagining’. There is one good photo reference for the hands and face at least.
It’s similar to when they fixed mistakes for the DVD releases, which effectively replace the original versions as first screened. These are old programmes ‘warts and all’ and should I think be kept as such. Fine to have alternative special editions as long as the original is the default version. More problematic when the original has been wiped but I think I’d still prefer to see the TV version if possible.
Same with the Macra if they do one. Again there is only one good photo reference but colour footage exists from Shawcraft.
Agree with JL that I would love to see a Krarg and at least good original footage exists of one rather than the shadowy animated versions.

January 6th, 2021 - 6:13pmHaha how fun.

January 6th, 2021 - 4:26pmInteresting
JL
January 6th, 2021 - 4:20pmI wonder, if they got round to doing these particular figurines, if they’d do the original or animated versions of the macra, seaweed creatures and Krarg, I’d definitely like to see the macra and Krarg one day, I hope the collection continues long enough for these to happen! I also wonder what our next special edition will be after melkur, a rill, axon, drashig, krynoid, fendahl, mara, cleaner, saturnyne and weeping angel statue of liberty are top of my list for future releases.
On another note, hope we get some more consoles announced soon, would also love if they one day tackle the exteriors too!
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:45pmMacras and Mara snakes have been hinted at, hope they are announced soon. If again, they do The Macra. Hope they stick to the screenshots and Telesnaps at hand rather than animated versions.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:48pmI would love all those you mentioned especially The Liberty Angel.
daz
January 6th, 2021 - 10:17pmI agree. Statue of liberty would make a great special.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 10:20pmCan we get Chameleon and Kamelion in the same year?
The Evil Dalek
January 6th, 2021 - 3:59pm…I really hope they’re not using the animation as a base. The animation takes an artistic license to The Chameleons with the clothes they where to the the fact they have the Chameleons obvious eyes & mouths (even though the story is LITERALLY CALLED THE FACELESS ONES) and gave them some quite out there campy colours. I prefer the purple skin colour seen on the DVD cover rather then the green skin.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:07pmI too hope they choose the shots from the show or the Telesnaps.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:15pmI hope they don,t opt for the animated version aboard the chameleon ship but there aren,t many clear telesnaps of this. Might have preferred the huddled version seen at the end of episode one where you see more of the face in those closing seconds but that would prove to be a less dramatic choice i suppose.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 3:53pmIt will be interesting a take on these given the few snaps there are but definitely one i wanted in the collection. great stuff.
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:04pmWhy do we only get drip fed a couple of Issues at a time, thats my only gripe.?
the ergon
January 6th, 2021 - 4:56pmTo Paraphrase Trau Morgus ‘should have been four Issue reveals at least’.
