Bif Bang Pow Retro Action Figures Wave 1

Bif Bang Pow Retro Action Figures Wave 1

Please Note: The these figures are deliberately made in the style of Mego for retro collectors. You should look at their past cousins before commenting.

The 4th Doctor, Cyberleader, Decayed Master and Sontaran Field Major Styre Figure Action Figures – Reminiscent of the best-selling action figures of the 1970s and 1980s, Bif Bang Pow!’s amazing Doctor Who figures stand 8-inches tall and feature episode-specific fabric clothing, in addition to multiple points of articulation.

Based on the incredibly popular television series, they embody that distinctive look and feel of the longest-running sci-fi TV series in the world.

    Uttter genius!! as someone who was the perfect age 7/8 when the Denys Fisher range came out! to have 30 years later a continuation of the range is incredible and very exciting! they all look great fun but have no idea what anyone not growing up with the dolls will make of them!
    even though I’ve totally lost the love of Dr Who with season 5…. these and character options classics have reminded me why I love the show so much!

    Your right McGaan is an awesome Doctor and vastly underrated, he is my 3rd favorite Doctor after McCoy and the all mighty Tom Baker. Will they also be making merchandise for the modern eras of Dr. Who or will it mostly be Baker era?

    Wow, not what I was expecting. But these guys do retro-style figures, in a format that is NOT supposed to seem lifelike or accurate, or even inscale. Its meant to be what it is, a doll. Needless to say, if theres ever my favourite Doctors from this brand (McGann, or Colin Bakers incarnation) I almost certainly will have to buy. Just as long as its a befitting representation of these characters, Colin Bakers Doctor means alot to me. And McGann, well what can I say, he is the most visual look of the Doctor, and probably the most handsome. He is

    Your right they do look a bit cheap but when you see them in real life they do look better and feel quality.

    Based on past experience with the lost figures.

    No offense booboo. But in my opinion… I think these look really cheap and although they may be rare in the future. I would hate to have them on my shelf.

      I am surprised the opinion seems to be mostly negative, not just here but everywhere i look. I just dont think people are seeing them for what they are – retro style figures harping back to the 70s.

    The plushes i believe will be cyberman, Dalek / Davros, Judoon and a tardis.

    Though these were at prototype stage last i head and not available to see.

    Could be wrong however 🙂

    These figures are aimed generally at the collectors market for “mego” styled figures, a bit like Tonner Dolls, they have there core collectors where people would but them when perhaps they wouldn’t buy anything else to do with Doctor Who. Personally i really like the look of the Sontaran and Cyberman, will reserve judgement on the 4th Doctor until the final figure is shown.

    Even if they are meant to be retro-style, they’re not the best figures (though I do like the note by the 4th Doctor figure about his head being too big in the prototype version!). Check out the company’s other figures (e.g. “Lost”), which I don’t believe are intended to be “retro” in their style, and they look very similar – i.e. terrible. The whole “Lost” line, from the bobbleheads to the dolls (do they qualify as action figures with plush bodies/limbs?), is very unattractive, failing to properly capture the characters’ features.

    It’s the cyberleader from Revenge again! There is a surprising amount of merchandise out there portraying that particular design. Not that I’m complaining in the slightest- I’m thrilled!

    Look a bit tacky to me. Even for prototypes. I’ll stick to Character.

    It’s meant to represent 70s toys.

    Gonna pass. “Bobblehead” TARDIS. Meaning they made a TARDIS with a Doctor who can’t even fit in it, even if it can open.
