March 25th, 2015 - 4:40pmThe 8th Doctor looks good!
the astronaut of death
March 25th, 2015 - 4:38pmyes! cant wait for 8th doctor
Anonymous
March 25th, 2015 - 4:30pmI got SO excited there…until I realised it was 3.75.
Still good…but not what we were hoping for. A 5 inch Night of the Doctor 8th Doctor with swappable head with a young War Doctor or just even a regenerated young War Doctor as we already have the 8th Doctor head….now that would be worth hitting twitter with 🙂
THE ERGON
February 8th, 2015 - 3:07pmAre they not doing haemovores? I,m going on Al Dewars regretful comment.
THE ERGON
February 8th, 2015 - 2:26pmIf they redo all the classics they did in 5 inch and many more from the old series, even if separate from the new series range, it will keep old and new fans sated. I,d buy what I cant get from ‘underground’. I,d be deluding myself thinking they,ll do more classics, that’s why I content myself with what eaglemoss are putting out. Those are good but figures are better whatever the size.
Grand Moff Moffat
February 7th, 2015 - 11:51pmDear God YES!!! I wil buy at least one of each of these when and if they come out! 🙂 🙂
shatner
February 7th, 2015 - 1:04pmWhen 3.75 first came out i was dead against them being so small and not so well made then after 50th anniversary set with zygon and 10th and 11th doctors i changed my mind. regretting not buying first two waves. Now I,m so excited 3.75 figures are actually better as dont take up so much room. PLEASE can we have the 60,s and 70,s companions BARBARA , SUSAN AND DODO and the boys IAN, STEPHEN AND JAMIE. in all their retro clothing
shatner
February 7th, 2015 - 1:16pmFORGOT Vicki,n polly and Ben. I would love a vicki figure in her 1st outfit and barbara in leather scaro pants
doctor who crazy ross
February 7th, 2015 - 12:12amI’m quite annoyed still at the fact the figures are 3.75″, never mind bringing more classic monsters (that we haven’t had in 5″ yet) into the situation.
I hope that we get series 8 set with missy the doctor Clara Cybermen Danny etc
booboo
February 7th, 2015 - 11:19amwhy would they be
Character have not marketed new 5″ figures themselves for a few years now and no classics for several years
Characters currant line in 3.75″ and has been for some time now
your directing your comments to the wrong comapny
Finn Townley
February 6th, 2015 - 9:14pmI would love to have ogrons day of the daleks is my personal favorite DW episode
Exterminator
February 6th, 2015 - 12:13pmHe also said we’re not getting the paradigm Daleks in the new size. 🙁
Jake Robertson
February 6th, 2015 - 1:12pmLooks like you seen my tweet then? Haha he said not yet
Exterminator
February 6th, 2015 - 1:44pmShame, I’d buy the whole set as would a lot of us. Character Options are missing out here. One sculpt gives them five figures with lovely shiny metallic paint jobs. Come on CO I’ve got £££’s waiting.
slitheen97
February 7th, 2015 - 8:23amThat’s a shame. Would rather a few of those then more gold daleks. If you want a dalek for the new scale, the motion control one (that turns when it sees an obstacle) is a pretty good size
Exterminator
February 7th, 2015 - 11:41amYou mean the WoW desktop patrol Dalek?
http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctor-who-wow-stuff/
It is about the right size but the problem is in the UK we only got the red drone and North America got the blue strategist.
Character Options should give us the full paradigm as action figures, maybe as a cool box set of all five like the wind up Daleks did. Loads of us would buy them I’m sure.
http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctor-who-dalek-wind-up-5-pack/
slitheen97
February 7th, 2015 - 1:55pmYeah that’s the one and I agree on the color, and the 5 pack would be really cool.
the master of gallifrey
February 8th, 2015 - 1:59pmI want the terileptils and k1 robot in 3.75 anyone agree?
Sam Richard Bentley
February 5th, 2015 - 11:07pmAl posted on Twitter that the Missy figure(s) will have swappable heads. I tweeted him saying my guess was either two facial expressions: serene and sinister grin, or hatted and hatless.
He simply favourited the tweet, no replies as of yet. Take with that what you will – could mean nothing, could mean a lot.
The Cyber Squirrel
February 5th, 2015 - 3:59pmMY TWITTER APPEARS IN THE SCREENSHOT!!!!
AWESOME!
booboo
February 5th, 2015 - 4:56pmIt’s embedded from twitter
koloth
February 5th, 2015 - 12:16pmAl, please dont cancel the Haemovores before theyve even seen the ligt of day. They sound like a great collecting idea and different enough to be quite exciting. At least they are not another straight repack. Please let us have Haemovores.
booboo
February 5th, 2015 - 12:40pmits a real difficult one this and has different sides
On the one hand including a splattering of classics within the 3.75″ line may entice those “sitting on the fence” to start collecting the range, especially with figures not available in any other format which in turn could lead to higher sales of the whole line.
Also including possible variations within 1 pack could lead to multiple sales by individuals of that pack
if you can make 4 different Haemovores some people will buy 4 packs so they can display them all
There is also the “core” buy everything brigade but they wont be enough on their won to make a figure successful.
On the other hand mass market retailers and many of their customers will not even have heard of Haemovores and they could see it as moving to far away from their intended markets.
Remember Character sell to retailers and they are key. if they dont buy, we dont get.
Doctors would not be a problem i think.
koth
February 5th, 2015 - 8:14amThese figure ideas are great. They have to make the money from the mold investment and this is a better way of going than plain repaints that weve seen so far.
They could do the same with Autons.
dinodilopho
February 4th, 2015 - 9:24pmI can’t believe someone stole the pilot dalek and the time squad doctor!
Dalek The Supreme
February 4th, 2015 - 6:42pmHaemovores are great news. I’ve wanted some for a long time now. It’s good to have it confirmed that the Mast-er, Missy, will be released as well.
Fantasy Man
February 4th, 2015 - 6:19pmAre these 5″? I can’t see 3.75s working with swappable heads and accessories etc.
The Final Adventure
February 4th, 2015 - 5:44pmIs The Heamovre a 5 scale figure? I’d love to have it, so I could finally have one.
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 6:07pm3.75″ if its happening at all now
The Final Adventure
February 4th, 2015 - 6:12pm🙁 Sad. Wish that it was 5 scale because I can’t see a body swapping 3.75 figure working.
The Final Adventure
February 4th, 2015 - 6:14pmAnd also, out of interest, how do you know that it’s 3.75, Boobo? Not to be rude.
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 6:17pmbecause he said a while ago and 5″ are UT products which he would not “announce”
76 Totters Lane
February 4th, 2015 - 6:33pmIt doesn’t make sense to release a new sculpt of a Classic series figure as 3.75″ when all the other Classic figures are 5″ (or been 5″ first in the case of the 3.75″ Classic Daleks), especially with it having so many swappable parts. If it was a Dalek then okay, they’ve already got the sculpt and its easy to do, but not with a new design.
The Final Adventure
February 4th, 2015 - 6:41pmPrecisely. Maybe it’s changed, Booboo…
Anonymous
February 5th, 2015 - 2:35amIt won’t have changed, he’s not moved company so it still isn’t his position to announce things.
Cyberman Bill
February 5th, 2015 - 10:06pmNo matter how hard you keep wishing for the line to go back to 5″…… It’s not going too… It’s just getting old with people complaining about this. Be happy that there is even a line to get! I know I am. I don’t care the size.
booboo
February 5th, 2015 - 10:09pmCharacter have not marketed a 5″ line themselves for years now, and several years for the classics, there is no mass market retailer demand
people don’t seem to get that
Anonymous
February 4th, 2015 - 5:42pmIs The Heamovre 3.75? If so, why haven’t they released a classic Cyberman yet? I’d love it if they did Heamovre 5 because the description makes it sound like that somewhat.
the astronaut of death
February 4th, 2015 - 4:53pmYou know who said that they are having second thoughts about the haemovour
the astronaut of death
February 4th, 2015 - 4:28pmWill Missy come in to pack ?
the astronaut of death
February 4th, 2015 - 4:28pmTwo pack?
DannyTheDoctorWhoFan
February 6th, 2015 - 9:19amWho knows eh? WHO KNOW?! Probably not lol
the astronaut of death
February 4th, 2015 - 4:27pmHaemorvores ….. Bit of a random one
Anonymous
February 4th, 2015 - 4:15pmlike the sound of Haemovores… oh and before anyone gets the chance to make this joke
She Ace… Me Doctor… How!
XD
luke kelly
February 4th, 2015 - 4:02pmno pics yet?
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 4:03pmno, i would think some weeks off yet
jamie brennan
February 4th, 2015 - 3:56pmHow much are they?
Anonymous
February 4th, 2015 - 10:36amI think these are 5 inch releases…I think the 3.75 would be too small and fiddly to have choice of bodies and clothing accessories etc… where as this has now become an established practice with the 5 inch range since it was reduced to exclusive releases.
I hope its 5 inch…I like the 3.75, but the 2 or 3 5 inch figures we get a year is really something to look forward to.
jamie
February 4th, 2015 - 3:10pmThey are 3.75.
Sam Richard Bentley
February 4th, 2015 - 9:24amJust reading Al’s Twitter and apparently he us considering releasing the Cherubs And Hide monster in figure packs, for those who weren’t able to buy the Time Zone sets. Maybe it is nothing, but I thought collectors might like to know.
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 9:31amaimed at the USA i would think who i don’t think ever got the play sets
The Werewolf
February 4th, 2015 - 11:50amPersonally I’m not interested in the play sets so I would be tempted by single figure release.
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 11:51amon the flip side i think many people would have purchased the playsets just to get the figures
Ian
February 4th, 2015 - 12:53pmSome Tescos have the playsets reduced to £2.00. Cold War, Dalek and Hide.
JellyBaby100
February 4th, 2015 - 4:57pmUnless they add articulation that would be a bit silly. (Maybe they could package the Cherubs as an accesory?)
David9684
February 5th, 2015 - 7:17am^^ They’d be like the cybermat packs we got in the S6 collection – so you’d get a few in there to make it seem worth the price
DannyTheDoctorWhoFan
February 4th, 2015 - 8:58amYAY MISSY!
Ian
February 4th, 2015 - 7:56amBut are they 3.75″?
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 8:02ambut are they both?
Ian
February 4th, 2015 - 8:15amGood Point. He has said we would have a Missy figure so I assumed it would be 3.75″ for her.
Sam Richard Bentley
February 4th, 2015 - 9:10amHe’s said in past about Haemovore 5″ figures. One can only assume that those are 5″ as he’s made no reference to 3.75″ Haemovores. Also seems an odd place to start the classic 3.75″s, excluding Daleks.
As for Missy – two completely different sculpts would indicate a 5″ and a 3.75″ figures.
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 9:29amhe already said a while back these are all 3.75″
we assume any 5″ stuff would be for UT toys to announce anyway
I don’t think you would see mention of it here
Character haven’t marketed any new 5″ figures themselves for several years now
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
February 4th, 2015 - 7:39amI find it strange how they are randomly deciding to bring out the Haemovores first in the Classics range. Hopefully it looks okay..
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 8:02ammaybe they had been sculpted for 5″ and so can be shrunk for tooling
there are probably numerous sculpted and abandoned figures over the years we know nothing about
we have seen several as well, Lazarus, yeti, The flood, Hurndal Doctor, 2nd Doctor in fur coat
TARDISGuy
February 4th, 2015 - 12:19pmI didn’t know about the Hurndall figure. To think there’s a parallel universe out there where all of those were released.
Haemavores do seem an odd place to start but, hey, Character love using sculpts and Curse of Fenric is a fantastic story
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
February 4th, 2015 - 4:00pmSome of them I didn’t know either, I always find it interesting when you discover figures that were never made.
Was the Lazarus figure going to be in his humanoid form or alien form?
booboo
February 4th, 2015 - 4:01pmhumanoid, Mark Gatiss tweeted it a while ago, then there was also the Owen Torchwood figure which looked fantastic
TARDISGuy
February 4th, 2015 - 8:49pmThat one upset me. Having several Jacks, Gwen, Tosh and Ianto but no Owen is criminal. I would point out, too that on the commentary on The Lazarus Experiment, Mark Gatiss said that Character were planning a Lazarus monster figure like the Racnoss one but it never went ahead
