August 12th, 2022 - 2:33pmDetails of the administrators are now showing on Companies House
The next step will be to see if a new licensee takes up the range, in whole or in part. There can be no guarantees on this.
We would expect this to take some time in ironing out all the legal issues and licencing if a buyer is indeed found.
We can only hope to feature a figurine collection, or its replacement on the site again when and if everything is signed and sealed.
Particular thanks to Neil Corry for being so helpful, Chris Thompson, and to The Specialist Works for working with us over the years to help us support the range.

August 9th, 2022 - 11:20pmI don’t know if the same is happening somewhere else, but here, in France, Altaya just began releasing Marvel figurines that happen to be the same as Eaglemoss’ own MCU figurines (same poses and bases), so I would guess they bought the moulds from them. I wonder if the same thing could happen to the Doctor Who collection (even though I wouldn’t be to happy to have to wait ten more years to finally get the latest issues).
Doctor
August 9th, 2022 - 6:02pmSo if the doctor who figurine collection is brought back I wonder if it would continue where it left off part 216 was next and the specials went adrift.
And good news all the other collections could be saved.
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 6:06pmseems like something’s are further forwards than indicated if the news is to be believed with one company having already bought all the rights to the unfinished part builds.
Another (liquidation) company having bought i assume all the figurine stock (all brands).
Gareth Pugh
August 9th, 2022 - 11:28pmHard to say – there are a number of business models that a new owner of the DWFC licence could go after. One thing I think anyone taking it over will want to negotiate for is the database of subscribers contact details – I think getting the message to them that ‘it’s coming back’ will be very important to build a base revenue stream. The question then is if they want to mainly cater to that or ‘go large’ and go after drumming up a load of new potential collectors. I do have the feeling that a new owner would want to be able to enjoy the fruits of commercialising as much of the franchise and all its characters and assets as it can – so they might want to be able to release figurines of all the Doctors again – although not necessarily versions we’ve already had. There are still enough costume variants of pretty much every TV Doctor that haven’t been done in the regular 1:21 scale yet – say, a Web Planet white-coat First, a blue shirted Second, a green jacket Third, a short red jacket (Season 12) or long beige coat (Season 16-17… like the recent Mega) or Talons Fourth, a Season 21 Fifth, red tie Sixth, duffel coat Seventh, green jumper Ninth, Blue Suit Tenth, purple coat Eleventh, red coat Twelfth, Dark coat ‘Flux’ Thirteenth. It can definitely be done in a way to not totally duplicate things EM already did but allow a new owner to attract new collectors … but I think that could be something collectors might have to accept. There have been some complaints about ‘repeat Doctors wasting slots’ in the original partwork – I think whilst Ben is at that all
Important ‘drumming up
Interest’ stage with potential new partners, those opinions whilst not invalid might be best kept on the downlow on social media for now. A new buyer will want to see wide potential for broad and long term sales of taking the range over is to be an attractive business proposition for us. Then, we stand a better chance of getting that Kronos/Ben and Polly/Ogri too.
The ergon
August 10th, 2022 - 6:58amWhoever would take it on i should imagine they would want a clean slate rather than just a continuation. Chapter1 verse1 so to speak. Although they may want all or existing moulds for figurines which may or may not have made it into production.
Subscription is an option to entice new custom and it doesnt just have to limit subscriber only rares to daleks, it could be doctors in a different outfit or guise or any number of variations of monsters or adversaries. The new owners might also wish to delve into other areas of Doctor who including comic strips or seeking access to copyrights for the two films, tv spinoffs and more classic/new tv storysets as a sideline whyllst continually improving on quality and likeness of character to keep fans or casual buyers coming back for years to come. Now we wait with bated breath to see what comes to fruition.
Doug Who
August 8th, 2022 - 10:47pmThat is really hopeful news from Ben! I hope at least a few ranges can continue where they left off not least of course the Figurine Collection. Wish them all the best of luck!
Paul Morries
August 9th, 2022 - 12:40pmSo eaglemoss as an embargo in place with news been dripped fed when it is ready, so it appears that there is a glimmer of hope following from what Ben as as twitted.
the Ergon
August 8th, 2022 - 10:17pmI,d settle for a US buyer or distributor even if it means going all the way back to Issue 1. Lets just start afresh under capable hands.
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 8:58amas long as they have a UK distribution centre otherwise postage will price them out of the UK mass market and that’s where the demand for these lies, it has with many USA based companies in the past.
Things like the giki tikis and hallmark decorations, and that’s about all that left in the USA now have a market here but post and import costs make the prices ridiculous compared to the USA. I would be buying them all at sensible prices.
Doug Who
August 9th, 2022 - 10:09amCompletely agree with you Booboo UK. Shipping and import charges have made these out of reach of loads of folk…myself included. Would have loved to get the tikis too but shipping is preclusive!
I found a Ninth/Tenth console on a US site but shipping was 70 dollars and didn’t include import costs.
Ben posted a teasing image of the Karvanista figurine by the way, looks fantastic and I really hope there’s a way forward…not least so some may get their livelihoods back. Good news that there is the will to move forward with the ‘Who’ collection and others.
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 10:20amcompanies quite often survive through management buyouts so hopefully he and others can do something.
Its great to hear that he obviously feels Doctor Who is a viable range to continue with as well
If they can get hold of unreleased moulds and even already produced stock as a big kick start then all well and good.
Doug Who
August 9th, 2022 - 10:33amAbsolutely! Considering the ‘Who’ collection had been extended to 250 plus the story set range, it would seem the figurine collection was doing well. I wonder also how Eaglemoss history of folding and starting up again might affect things.
Personally I think it would be fantastic if, as you say some kind of buyout means people like Ben are in charge. With the 60th coming up, a re-launch would be timely.
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 10:41amDo they have a history?
I thought it was just a name change and merger from GE fabri to Eaglemoss
Neil Corry
August 9th, 2022 - 11:50amGE Fabbri was bought by Eaglemoss. There was no folding 🙂
While I loved working for Eaglemoss and had the best job in the world, you have no idea how amazing being at GE Fabbri was. I’ve worked for lots of different companies but GE… You’d look forward going to work. I can’t believe how lucky I’ve been sometimes.
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 11:58amThanks, maybe you could have the best job in the world again!
Doug Who
August 9th, 2022 - 12:31pmThanks for clarification Neil! Teach me to be more critical of reading online reports. Apart from when those rare occasions being a paid artist, I can’t really imagine looking forward to going to work! I imagine it’s an even rarer occurrence these days. Hopefully you’ll be lucky again.
Neil Corry
August 9th, 2022 - 12:50pmI stopped working on the collection with issue 219, as last year was a tough one personally, but handing the reins to the brilliant Mark Wright made me know the collection was in good hands.
And then all this.
Reading a few of the threads on here has again reminded me that Dr Who fans are the best fans, but also made me so sad that the collection ended like it did.
There was some cracking stuff coming up too. Ben Robinson’s tweet yesterday was encouraging, and as the best fans anywhere, I really hope something good is gonna happen.
Doug Who
August 9th, 2022 - 12:58pmSaid it before but the collection was (and hopefully may be again) the best ‘Who’ related range ever I think. Thanks once again for all your work on it Neil and for staying in touch with us too. It’s so frustrating knowing there were exciting things ahead. The Movellan was so close and yet so far!
Certainly it inspired me to have a go at model making and if you’re interested I have a few more almost ready to reveal!
Hope things are going better for you now too.
Prototype dalek
August 9th, 2022 - 3:40pmI just hope something positive comes out of all this. Was an amazing 9 year run.

August 8th, 2022 - 8:05pmBest News we’ve heard in Weeks, if they can pull it off. (So to Speak).
booboo
August 8th, 2022 - 7:20pmSo looks like Ben Robinson is only just free to talk, but very much wants things to continue including the figurine collection
we wish him well and anything we can do to help.
Prototype Dalek
August 9th, 2022 - 10:17amHopefully something positive will happen
Doug Who
August 4th, 2022 - 4:40pmI just received notification from Paypal that I’ll received a full refund on the two consoles and Cleaner Robot after I registered non-receipt and then escalated to a case just after hearing the news Eaglemoss went into administration.
Wasn’t sure whether they would issue a refund but very pleased they have. Well worth opening a case if you paid through them.
The ergon
August 4th, 2022 - 5:03pmWas this under the 180 days doug as i couldnt open a case with being over? Still awaiting a reply from my bank after i sent a paypal transcript but i had to screenshot. That was last week but it seems to take
ages on customer service call to get through.
Doug Who
August 4th, 2022 - 5:43pmI’d need to check my Paypal account Ergon, I’m afraid I can’t remember the exact date the consoles and robot were pre-ordered but it was pretty close to when they were announced I think.
I was pleasantly surprised when they confirmed the refund. I had to contact the seller (Eaglemoss) about non-receipt and wait for a reply (which of course they didn’t) and then I could escalate to a case before a certain date and wait for the outcome.
the Ergon
August 4th, 2022 - 6:22pmThanks Doug. Ill keep on at the bank and it will be passed onto the ombudsmen if i have no joy.
Neil Corry
August 9th, 2022 - 12:04pmThat the Cleaner figurine didn’t reach customers especially breaks my heart. We worked so hard on it, and we weren’t sure how popular it would be, but it was as near perfect as I dare say. And that’s from someone who could and would always find things to improve on!
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 12:10pmI did get to Australia, So it exists, and there is some suggestion it may still get to the USA.
one can only hope there is a container full somewhere that might get to the UK somehow if there are buyers for it.
There must be shed loads of stock somewhere for the administrators to sell
Neil Corry
August 9th, 2022 - 12:14pm*books flight to Oz*
Whomerchcollector07
August 9th, 2022 - 12:31pmAny available to buy right now in Australia? I can’t seem to find any of anyone has a link please?
booboo
August 9th, 2022 - 12:51pmWas in stock on the Eaglemoss shop which course is now dead.
Assuming there maybe some stock in a warehouse which will be stuck there until the Administrators (whoever they are the lack of statements is puzzleing
Nick
July 31st, 2022 - 2:01amThe Mega Mondasian Cyberman exists. I have one. It does not seem to have made it to the UK.
the Ergon
July 31st, 2022 - 10:20amIf you ordered from the US, then of course. The same with the 2 consoles i preordered and recieved before they sold out.
Anonymous
July 24th, 2022 - 11:23amWhy are the Eaglemoss Issues # 206 to # 215 going for such crazy prices on ebay? Sellers are listing these from £50 to £80?
booboo
July 24th, 2022 - 12:34pmprobably because there is no where else to buy them from
daz
July 24th, 2022 - 1:58pmBecause unless you were a subscriber or got them from Forbidden Planet they are rare. And as Eaglemoss is no more it is a Sellers market for those. A lot of collectors who missed out as most didn’t appear on the Eaglemoss Store will want to complete their collections too.
TheFirstDoctor
July 22nd, 2022 - 8:26pmIs there anywhere that has a complete checklist of all the Who figurines and specials/box-sets Eaglemoss made? What was the last figure? Thanks
booboo
July 23rd, 2022 - 9:33amthis has every release planned
Figurines exists up to issue 215
Specials exist up to issue 30 the cleaner but this has not made it to the UK so far
All consoles exist but the Junk Yard and 9th/10th Consoles have not made it to the UK so far
The mega 10 is that last one to exist but has not made it to the UK yet
The Image of the Fendah set has never appeared.

THE BLACK GUARDIAN
July 18th, 2022 - 7:33pmSo the Black Guardian(220) was never produced at all?
And was Santa (212?) released already?
Maybe Doctor Who Magazine could take on The Who line with 5 or 6 special editions a year to fill some gaps with classics and new Who figs.
Would be a great way to end things and get maybe get Ncuti Doc next year.
Anon
July 18th, 2022 - 8:41pmIf a company specifically geared up to producing figurines can’t survive then how would panini? It boils down to simple economics. Costs versus profits. The demand for these figures obviously isn’t enough to keep eaglemoss afloat so why would panini risk it?
Doug Who
July 18th, 2022 - 9:01pmThe Santa figure was released and sent to subscribers a few months ago with the Servo Robot. It was the second last delivery with Skaak and Styggron being the final subscribers delivery.
The Black Guardian figurine reached prototype stage at least but how far it got into mass production is anyone’s guess. It would be nice to think that these figurines will eventually be available but the ‘Image of the Fendahl’ set went to ‘waiting list’ pretty quickly so perhaps was never produced in any great numbers.
It may not have been the ‘Who’ line that wasn’t profitable. After all, they extended it to 250 only relatively recently but clearly had historical financial problems compounded by the pandemic and UK delivery issues.
Gareth Pugh
July 18th, 2022 - 10:52pmAnon, none of us are sure quite what has happened here but the tell-tale signs to me appear to be one of a company hitting a cashflow crisis – not an ‘insufficient sales’ problem (which certainly happens with some companies going into administration). They voluntarily stopped taking monthly direct debit payments from subscribers for this DW line in December because they were getting so far ahead in terms of payments taken versus goods received from their Chinese suppliers and thus able to send out to us. Doing that will have cut off a very important regular monthly income for them. It was about £24 per subscriber per month times by thousands of subscribers. But a stock flow problem meant they felt they ‘had’ to do that. That money would have paid things like staff wages, overheads of running a business [rent etc.] Add to that lots of pre-orders where they just couldn’t get the finished goods into the country themselves (where they could into the US and Europe in some cases) and in the end I guess they were economically hamstrung. Also we don’t know what the performance of other lines /franchises may have done to the health of the overall company. But this has the possible clues of a line that wasn’t actually flopping or no longer popular enough.
Doctor Stu
July 19th, 2022 - 9:50amI never even got the cyber controller. I’m one of the subscribers that was left in the lurch and now probably not going to see any of the stuff I’ve paid for
Moodbeam
July 19th, 2022 - 4:57pmMy last payment to EM was in April and I think my last delivery was around the end of May/early June.
TheWHOlegacy
July 20th, 2022 - 12:43pmTheir DC Graphic Novels they stopped taking payments in February and they was the last shipment. Was only told a month ago that they’d be back to normal by this September. It’s the supply chain that has caused the major issue for them as they’ve been waiting ages for things to arrive to the UK.
davidhhh
July 20th, 2022 - 6:25pmI take it that Karvanista and Swarm never went out to anyone, right? Too bad, those were some cool designs and characters I would have liked figures of. There’s probably no hope for Vinder and Azure either.
I’d consider trying to find a Styggron, but I imagine that unless they release more stock, they’re pretty rare and will go for big money.
booboo
July 20th, 2022 - 6:32pmno but its unclear if they have actually been produced, it can take 2-3 month to bulk ship from China so no end of stuff could have been manufactured and stuck in the factory or on certainer ships right now.
Loads of the Junk and 9th/10th consoles as well as the cleaner robot and mega Mondas Cyberman that would have been destined for the UK must be somewhere.
The UK has by far the biggest market so what ended up in the EU/Aus and USA so far must be a fraction of what was actually made.
Pabs
July 18th, 2022 - 12:26pmA week on and there is still no official announcement what is happening we only had that Twitter message from someone in the know but nothing to say what the actual truth is.
booboo
July 18th, 2022 - 12:52pmAdministrator will be finding out the exact financial position of the company before making any kind of statement.
this is a multimillion pound UK company but with assets (stock) all over the world and its going to take sometime.
Anonymous
July 18th, 2022 - 2:30pmI’ve been checking The Gazette daily & Eaglemoss has not appeared yet on their Listings. Checking Companies House it appears that Charges Registered against Eaglemoss date back to 2018, owed to Santander UK PLC & are the 3 currently not discharged (ie) Still outstanding.
booboo
July 18th, 2022 - 2:47pmSantander seem to have a fixed and floating charge on all assets, meaning technically they, as a bank, own everything up to the disposal value of what they are owed.
They may insist on their own administrators under those circumstances if its a significant amount.
davidhhh
July 20th, 2022 - 6:18pmAs booboo said, there are offices and warehouses around the world, which certainly complicated things. I know that my US orders shipped from the US.
My last order arrived this weekend. They shipped everything I ordered, other than a couple of Star Trek busts that I preordered mainly to get my order up to the free shipping threshhold. So no big deal if I don’t get those, though they’re nice. At least now I won’t have to scour ebay for the Rani/Inquisitor set!
Moodbeam
July 15th, 2022 - 7:19pmOne small thing we can consider is that if they do have any stock laying around, especially the newer items which haven’t been sent out but have almost certainly been produced, it is likely to be sold off in bulk to another distributor… think along the lines of B&M. So if the company does sadly not survive the administration there is so hope that we may still be able to complete our collections in so far as everything that was actually produced.
Martino
July 16th, 2022 - 6:35pmTrue. Most of Product Enterprise’s stock was bought up by TK Maxx and sold at bargain prices (I also remember Beatties were selling Shado Mobiles, but can’t recall if that was before or after PE’s troubles)
davidhhh
July 18th, 2022 - 11:54amIn the past, Eaglemoss has used Zavvi (who ship internationally) to clearance out old ranges that they’ve discontinued. They’ve done that with at least their DC, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, horror, and WWE figures. Sometimes, they were sold as individual figures, sometimes as a random blind box of 1-3, and sometimes they were big lots of 10-20 figures (either with set figures or random choices) at a huge discount
. I got most of the Game of Thrones range when they sold 2 sets of 20 for $60 each. They were shipped from the UK, even though I bought them from their US site. If they did something like that with Who, I’d happily scoop them up, even if I already had 1/3 of the figures.
Given that Eaglemoss already has a relationship with Zavvi, they might be a good choice for them. Then again, the administrators may be starting from scratch or may have their own companies that they’ve worked with at other companies.
booboo
July 18th, 2022 - 12:01pmOne to watch for Doctor Who wise may be Scificollector, they have purchased tonnes of surplus Doctor Who figures in the past from Eaglemoss and have a wholesale site where they even sell on to 3rd party sellers.
I think however there will be 10’s of thousands of figures involved here.
Anonymous
July 18th, 2022 - 2:16pmI want my £153 back first, which I’ve put in a Claim for; before ordering from anywhere else! I’ll order from Scificollector gladly if they take on stock. It’s my understanding that the two Tardis consoles & Cleaner Robot made it into production. Not so certain about Skakk or Fendahl though?
booboo
July 18th, 2022 - 2:42pmthat seems to be it, although prototypes exist of the others, if not big quantities.
for all we know 1000’s of figure past that could have been made in china already and be on container boats
Moodbeam
July 18th, 2022 - 5:29pmSkakk was announced so long back that I’m certain that they would have been well in production and probably ready to ship in some cases, let’s not forget that they were due this month. If Neil pops on here at all and sees this maybe he could advise? I would just like to get those final 5 that I’m missing. That being the two consoles, the cleaner robot, Skakk, and the Fendahl set.
daz
July 18th, 2022 - 6:09pmNeil left Eaglemoss a good 6 months ago.
But yeah, there’s probably a container somewhere with issues 216 and 217 and more…
We’ll not hear anything official until the Administrators have looked at everything and made a decision.
Anonymous
July 25th, 2022 - 12:38pmJust got word back from my Bank saying the £153 is VOID because of time limits so Eaglemoss screwed me there – I’m wondering how many other people lost money due to ordering something & waiting 7+ months for them to suddenly go down the pan?
daz
July 25th, 2022 - 1:16pmAnonymous.
Did you pay through PayPal? If not I read that the 120 days starts from day you hear of company going into administration?
Might be worth looking into.
Rex Farrel
July 25th, 2022 - 2:12pmAnon: If some of the money was for preorders, I think the 120 day time limit starts from release/due date. So you might be able to get some back that way (although you’d probably need evidence to back it up).
Pabs
July 15th, 2022 - 5:25pmAdministration the administrators will look at all aspects of the business it could mean that administrators say figurines pricing needs to be looked at and it could be instead of 11.99 we could be paying 16.99
The time to worry is when it is liquidation as it is in the end.
Remember HMV did survive administration on numerous occasions by closing stores and laying off staff.
It could be eaglemoss sells its overseas arm of the business to recoup money back and focus on the UK market
davidhhh
July 18th, 2022 - 11:13amThat would really suck for those of us overseas! Eaglemoss is one of the few companies that won’t sell to anyone outside the web site’s market country. They have multiple websites based around the world. None of them will let anyone order whose shipping address isn’t in the country/region that the site is based in.
In fact, if you try it with an email address, that country’s site will then spam you with ads. Before the shutdown, I was getting 4-5 copies of each spam email. It was always interesting seeing how different the sales were in each region or country.
Dave
July 15th, 2022 - 3:34pmI paid ‘£160 for the gold xl Enterprise e. Do I assume that money is lost?
booboo
July 15th, 2022 - 3:38pmwe just dont know yet.
if you paid by credit card you can claim from them, chargebacks for debit cards usually have a limit of 120 days but you could try.
Some people are getting money back this way already
Paul Armstrong
July 15th, 2022 - 1:12pmAwful news, particularly as Booboo has pointed out for its staff base who will face many uncertainties over the coming weeks and months ahead.

booboo
July 15th, 2022 - 9:31amhave to wait and see what the administrators say.
Jim Allen Johnston
July 15th, 2022 - 8:56amoh man, thats awful news.
If its the printing and publications that’s the big problem, I’d say drop the magazines and just be a figurine company. Who knows, maybe that’d help?
AxC
July 15th, 2022 - 10:35amPartworks enjoy a tax incentive by being a magazine with a gift rather than a gift with a magazine. It’s why newsagents sell these figures when very few other places do.
However their losses are pretty sudden and seem to tie-in in with Covid and Brexit. Given that things like the Cleaner Robot have been available outside of the UK for over a month now when the UK still doesn’t have stock, does rather suggest this is a Brexit issue. Their production and distribution is mainly in Spain isn’t it?
Gareth Pugh
July 15th, 2022 - 2:23pmAxC – the figures are produced in China, but I’ve heard the stocks used to come from China to Spain, and then be distributed to individual European countries from there.

booboo
July 15th, 2022 - 8:46amMore than likely sadly.
Ginger Doctor
July 15th, 2022 - 8:58amWe should petition Hachette Partworks along with the BBC to say that there is a demand from us whovians for this collection
Bookcollector
July 15th, 2022 - 9:43amThe fact they are in administration means the sales they are making isn’t enough to keep the company going, fans can not demand they stay in operation if fans aren’t buying enough to keep the company afloat across it’s product lines. Unless of course you are willing to pay considerably more for each figure? Oh and the BBC has no responsibility to eaglemoss, eaglemoss buy the rights for doctor who from the BBC. The BBC don’t have any involvement with the other lines eaglemoss do so why single out the BBC?
Be grateful for what we have had, be sorry for the employees and remember that this is the unfortunate reality of the impact of covid and the cost of living crisis.
Doctor Mysterio
July 15th, 2022 - 2:19pmI don’t know of course, but if they cannot import the stock to sell then it may be down to a cash flow issue that has caused the problems. Hopefully it can carry on in some regard and I really feel for those employed at the moment. I’ve been subscribing since the start and have loved the collection.
PABS
July 15th, 2022 - 8:01amSome of the items eaglemoss produced may have led to the downfall along with prehaps poor marketing,

July 14th, 2022 - 10:38pmWould like to point out that the Eaglemoss website is still up and running, though would appear you cannot place an order. I also feel that EM or the administrator should have placed something on the website to show some acknowledgement of the issues, but according to their website it’s business as usual. Has there been any direct statement from EM about all this?

There will be no statement from EM, only from the administrators when they are ready, these things take time

July 15th, 2022 - 8:40amthat’s an old website the administrators will probably get around to removing all of these eventually, they might not.

July 14th, 2022 - 6:07pmFP cancelled my orders 216-223 plus 9th/10th console and Mega 11.
THE BLACK GUARDIAN
July 14th, 2022 - 4:51pmWow we don’t even get to finish with 220 The Black Guardian,which would have to a good way to end things. What a HUGE shame this is. We were sooooo close to getting some much wanted faves with this maybe continuing to 250.
Glad I bought all those Harry Potter ones on clearance earlier this year for perhaps some customs if need be.
Hope this line gets a regeneration next year somehow. A nice limited 60 figure set of popular characters and some classics we never saw.
Plus I’d still love a Galifrey Domed Capital deluxe
The ergon
July 14th, 2022 - 5:15pmI would have prefered to have gone out with a proper farewell figurine in the shape of The watcher. Which deep down should in hindsight have been Issue 200.

July 14th, 2022 - 3:06pmNo surprise – but just been advised by Forbidden Planet that my orders for DW figurines 220, 221, 222 & 223 have been cancelled because “they have been cancelled by the publisher and will not now be released”. As I say, no surprise given recent events. Really hope that, in some way, the remaining figures up to and including 220 can be released to subscribers to round off the collection – if it cannot continue – together with the “Cleaner Robot” (the stocks must be somewhere – I hope they will issue them for sale and not just “junk” them). Guess all we can do is cross our fingers and wait for an announcement from the administrators in due course.

July 14th, 2022 - 3:19pmI ordered these as well from Forbidden Planet on the slight off chance that their order might be fulfilled by the Administrators at some point in the future to raise some cash but just had the same emails.
Has anyone had similar emails from Forbidden Planet re:issues #216 to #219 saying the same? If not may be an indication that #216 to #219 are somewhere in storage and could eventually be made available for sale.

July 14th, 2022 - 4:07pmYep, but did the administrators tell FP that it was no longer be run or was it someone from eaglemoss.
If Eaglemoss is in administration surely they can’t be making decisions regarding the company that will have to be the appointed administrators when they have a full grasp of the mess eaglemoss is in.

July 14th, 2022 - 4:33pmThat’s quite right, i would imagine FP have seen whats going on and pulled all pre-orders until they know whats going on.

July 14th, 2022 - 6:03pmI think they would get more money for them if they put them on a website. So that’s people that have the figurine collection will be able to buy them that way they would generate more money than just putting them out to a shop etc

July 15th, 2022 - 3:08pmYes FP informed me about the Mega Mondasian Cyberman figurine and told me it won’t be available. Really sad news!

July 15th, 2022 - 3:17pmthere must be a ton of stock somewhere, not sure what happens to stock that’s in a different country but belongs to a UK company.
It will be a valuable asset they need to sell somehow.

July 14th, 2022 - 2:34pmI hope the #bbc #bbcworldwide and #badwolfstudios can capitalise on the 60th anniversary of doctor who with a relaunch of the collection with a brand new supplier at the start of 2023 such as issue 1 the doctor David Tennant in tarten type suit.

July 14th, 2022 - 12:20pmThis is sad news, Eaglemoss have brought a lot of joy into my life with their various collections (for me, more Star Trek than Doctor Who, though I have many of the Classic releases). Hopefully the company will do a Product Enterprise, and bounce back in an unexpected way. I was devastated when PE disappeared, but years later they have given me another model I’ve always wanted, the Space 1999 Probe Ultra command module, so who knows what’s around the corner for Eaglemoss?
Doug Who
July 14th, 2022 - 1:21pmAbsolutely agree Martino. The Doctor Who Figurine Collection was my interest and it was a real joy seeing which new character would feature next and then receiving the boxes regularly. I often looked at the Star Trek ships out of interest which looked really nice too!
We can only hope it’s not quite the end of the line, not least for all those that have lost their jobs.

July 14th, 2022 - 10:51amOh dear, my brother will be disappointed as he is a subscriber of their Batman books. For months now he has had no new delivery and was told this was due to the cascading covid problems in printing/shipping. I hope administration can help find a solution that isnt bad news for all concerned.
