September 8th, 2013 - 4:44pmSome interesting info here, if anybody is interested. http://www.kasterborous.com/2013/09/doctor-who-figurine-collections-ben-robinson/
76 Totters Lane
September 8th, 2013 - 5:32pmSo 40 companions feature in the figurines. That’s pretty much all of them.
So far confirmed we have:
11 Doctors
40 companions
+ 14 others (3 of which are Daleks)
That leaves 15 left, which’ll probably be more monsters/villains. I bet there’ll have the Master, a number of ordinary Cybermen and other iconic ones.
Anonymous
September 8th, 2013 - 5:37pmActually that interview says NO companions feature because that would be 40 slots taken up out of the 75 they planned.
Of course the numbers up to 80 now, so Twelfth Doctor and four companions then?
The New Doctor
September 8th, 2013 - 5:39pmIf you read it again, you can see that they actually mean they left out 40 companions in favour of more monsters.
76 Totters Lane
September 8th, 2013 - 7:23pmSorry, I was skim-reading it. Lots and lots of monsters then which to be honest, make better figures as the human-looking ones are a bit hit and miss.
cjayp33
September 8th, 2013 - 7:26pmwhat they mean is that can’t include all 40 companions and they are having to be selective about which ones to include as the Facebook page has confirmed there will be companions.
Anonymous
September 8th, 2013 - 7:31pmNo, what he means is they looked at companions then decided against them as they would clog up the schedule.
However, given that they also say they had planned 75 figures that would suggest to me that this interview was done quite a while ago and as a result things have since changed (there’s another Doctor they are thinking about fitting in somewhere as well after all).
Anonymous
September 8th, 2013 - 7:35pmOh and I just had a check through their Facebook page and can’t see anything confirming companions. Whenever someone asks about them they seem to get exactly the same response about the schedule not being released yet.
booboo
September 8th, 2013 - 8:49pmThere was a post I’m sure unless its gone
The living Shadow
September 3rd, 2013 - 7:18pmI tried to resist myself. But i saw this in WHsmiths today and i just had to get it!! … And I am not disappointed, the magazine is filled with awesome facts, like did you know that Matt’s bowtie is real- not a clip on, and the figure itself is excellently detailed and has been hand painted brilliantly. I’ve gone from not being to bothered about these, to wanting to sign to the premium subscription. Geronimooo!!!

The Monitor
September 3rd, 2013 - 9:34pmStill no issue one, so guessing Booboo is right and that issues 1 to 3 will be combined.
The way I feel about this, is that I only want the subscription to start from when the shops stop selling them.

September 1st, 2013 - 8:11pmfor those wondering they have confirmed on there facebook page that there will be companions included.
Jamie
September 1st, 2013 - 8:20pmWhere did you see that? Because in one of there comments on Facebook they actually say “There are no companions”
booboo
September 1st, 2013 - 8:27pmcan you link to it? cant see it anywhere
Jamie
September 1st, 2013 - 8:44pmhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Doctor-Who-Figurine-Collection-Magazine/125947807583337
Scroll down to where they say “What figurines are you hoping will be designed by Eaglemoss?” And then click on “show more comments” In the fourth comment they say “there are no companions”
I assume that is the official Facebook page for the magazine?
booboo
September 1st, 2013 - 8:56pmthat’s not the official page and most of the images on that site are from here (nothing to do with us)
this is the official one https://www.facebook.com/DoctorWhoFigurineCollection

September 1st, 2013 - 8:59pmOh I see! I apologise! My mistake! 😳

September 1st, 2013 - 9:01pmno worries at all, sometimes its a job to tell what’s official and what isn’t

September 1st, 2013 - 3:05pmOn the site they say Postage Free (UK Only) The only other country they ship to is Ireland so does that mean postage isn’t free to Ireland. There is no indication ANYWHERE how much it costs for shipping to Ireland so I am not willing to subscribe when the price of one issue is already ridiculously overpriced for Irish collectors. £6.99 does not convert to near €10.99 regardless of the fluctuation manner of exchange rates and VAT is only 3% higher here so that doesn’t explain it.
Delivery fees on top of €10.99 for a 20 page magazine + fig??
KORSAIR
September 1st, 2013 - 7:45pmI agree with you Shane the price difference is ridiculous I mean I’m in Ireland although in the north and I’m getting it at the mainland uk price.

September 1st, 2013 - 11:15amBooBoo one of the people who announces things on the Doctor Who Figurine Collection’s FaceBook page said ” Have any Subscribers received the Dalek Emperor?” Not sure if they have been shipped out earlier then they said or are just teasing?
booboo
September 1st, 2013 - 12:14pmno idea, i havnet even had issue 1 and i dont want to be receiving the emperor weeks after everyone else
Jamie
September 1st, 2013 - 7:54pmIn my confirmation email it said:
Wherever possible, your FREE subscription gift(s) will be packaged and sent along with your copies, as follows:
· Binder – In your second shipment
· Display Stand – In your third shipment
· Giant Dalek Figurine – In your fifth shipment
· Digital Edition – Extra Gift available to current subscribers
Please note the order may be slightly different than advertised
Its says at the bottom that the order may change so maybe the Emperor is coming earlier for some reason?
Whovian
August 31st, 2013 - 7:18pmI picked up my copy today but I am not too impressed at the figure in the pack. There was unfinished bits of paintwork on the Braces and microphome. Apart from that, i’m gonna subscribe to the magazine
booboo
August 31st, 2013 - 7:26pmthe quality seems very variable only thing i can say is that they must of produced a massive quantity of the 1st issue, i have the next 4 here form the test set and i really cant quibble so i hope the quality will be the same on the national releases , soon find out
Trenzalore
August 31st, 2013 - 7:43pmI think that the quality of the figures for subscribers is better than that in shops. This may jut be a coincidence or on purpose
Matthew
September 1st, 2013 - 12:07amHello. I subscribed to the online magazine. But how much Will it charge me from my credit card? I am from ireland so I understand it will be different to England.
KORSAIR
September 1st, 2013 - 1:44am@ Matthew 4.99 euro for issue 1 and 10.99 euro for all issues after that plus if you are going for the extra Daleks etc it will be an extra 1.50 euro from issue 2 on.
Matthew
September 1st, 2013 - 6:27pm@KORSAIR so they will charge 10.99 euro from my credit card?
KORSAIR
September 1st, 2013 - 7:22pmIf you go to the faq section of the figurine site all the info you need is there.
Matthew
September 1st, 2013 - 7:33pmBut all it says is what you told me, I does not say how much they will charge my credit card.

cjayp33
September 1st, 2013 - 7:11pmBooboo I would message them on Facebook about this, to check what is going on, as when I queried why mine starts with issue 2 (as per the welcome letter) they then said mine starts from issue 6, with 1-5 on order as apparently I have these on order from my test account (only asked for issue 1 and a replacement issues 2/3 so no idea why 4/ were on order, although, when I knew this was going national asked if I would receive 1-5 and I would, hence me asking why the welcome letter states start from issue 2). I am waiting for a reply as like you I
booboo
September 1st, 2013 - 7:54pmmy email states issue 1 but i had the 1st 3
i assumed that unless requested everyone would start at 1 again especially as they have changed the doctor
i havnet had a letter yet though just an email
cjayp33
September 1st, 2013 - 7:16pmdon’t want to be behind in terms of issues or free gifts. No money has yet to be taken out of account. I have yet to get a reply so have emailed them instead, in the hope of an answer as to why things are as they are. All I wanted/hoped was my subscription to be reset and restart from issue 1, which they don’t seem to understand. It seems customer services can only deal with simple requests and short emails/messages that go straight to the point.

August 30th, 2013 - 10:06pmGot this today but u am goinh to subscribe
Trenzalore
August 30th, 2013 - 12:46pmWhat does it mean by ‘back copy’s’ and how do I know I am getting them?
Anonymous
August 30th, 2013 - 1:23pmA back copy is where you order an older issue that you missed. You will have to especially order these so you should definitely know if you are getting them (unless you are starting a subscription from an older issue number but that’s not quite the same thing).
Trenzalore
August 30th, 2013 - 1:35pmOh okay, I thought it was like an extra with an issue, I am not planning on missing any issues so it won’t really matter. Thanks 🙂

August 29th, 2013 - 6:15pmA fortnight from today (so that will be the 12th of September). Then every second Thursday after that.

August 29th, 2013 - 6:30pmI thought part 1 is out for 3 weeks to give people a chance to buy it

August 30th, 2013 - 1:34pmNo, it’s out for 15 days, so slightly more than two weeks but not three whole weeks.

August 29th, 2013 - 5:57pmI saw this in easons yesterday, but I decided not to buy it……but then I thought to myself,why not 😆

August 29th, 2013 - 11:55amOkay, didn’t know if it was just for subscribers
76 Totters Lane
August 29th, 2013 - 1:31pmGot it through the post today too. It came in a cardboard box so the figure wasn’t damaged. Didn’t come with the cardboard outer bit that holds it together in shops though, but that doesn’t really matter. Nicely detailed figure.
yourmum
August 29th, 2013 - 2:02pmHave you had any payments taken from your account? I’ve subscribed but so far no payment has been taken.
Radburn
August 28th, 2013 - 11:21pmHilarious – After months of aggro trying to contact the Database Factory to arrange a subscription & then cancelling because they were useless, they now send me a Confirmation email telling me I’m subscribed. Despite telling them I wanted no further communication from they & saying I would never buy a product from them ever again they still have absolutely no clue as to what they are doing…
KNs47
August 29th, 2013 - 3:27pmEaglemoss are a strange company! They produce great products, but have extremely poor administration. They’ve mucked up the set processes of both the Marvel Fact Files and the DEFC for me. I’ve got my fingers crossed for whats going to happen with the Star Trek Starships.
KNs47
August 29th, 2013 - 3:28pmThat’s DWFC
Anonymous
August 29th, 2013 - 4:36pmThe thing is Eaglemoss make the magazines but they get another company to deal with the subscriptions and that is where the problems come in.
Radburn
August 30th, 2013 - 1:24amYes, that is true – Eaglemoss have great products it’s just unfortunate they have a shoddy Distribution Company with the Database Factory. I have had 4 subscriptions through them & they fouled up every time. This was the final straw. I have arranged a sub with WHSmith – But sadly will not be able to get the Daleks & Accessories. Such a pity…

August 28th, 2013 - 8:22pmbooboo I received a Confirmation earlier today and it said somewhere “Please allow up to 21 days for delivery of your first issue.” Does that mean I have to wait 21 days for both Issue 1 and 2 to come?
booboo
August 28th, 2013 - 8:34pmstandard statement , in reality it will probably be a lot sooner

August 28th, 2013 - 7:00pmStill haven’t recieved any confirmation regarding subscription and to too it of I hav. Just recieved an email from eaglemoss saying issue 1 out now for £1.99 they can’t even get the price right.
Anyone else had this email?
The Silent Silent
August 28th, 2013 - 6:39pmjust went to my “Local stockist” who had one drwho figurine collection issue 1 left avalible & my sainburys had zero. These are either selling really well or not enough stock it geting to the stickists. any thoughts??? 🙂
Anonymous
August 28th, 2013 - 6:41pmWith many of these collections it seems to be a bit of both. Most end up with a bigger demand than they expect, you’d think after it has happened to them several times they’d have done something.
booboo
August 28th, 2013 - 7:02pmI’m sure the uptake on issue one will be huge but they would only expect a small proportion to end up subscribing
cjayp33
August 28th, 2013 - 6:23pmJust out of interest for anybody who subscribed to the test series, what issue does your subscription start? as I have the below problem and wanted to know whether it was just me or not.
“Got my email today but I am well annoyed as its says my subscription starts with issue 2. I started the test series on issue 2 and can only assume thats why its says issue 2 on my welcome letter. Did email customer services a while back asking to add issue one where I was assured I would get issues 1-5. Hopefully I will pick one up in the shops tomorrow.”
booboo
August 28th, 2013 - 6:46pmMine is from issue one but I got up to 3 on the test issue
cjayp33
August 28th, 2013 - 6:55pmThanks booboo, it confirms my suspicion that for test people they are doing the same subcription as before. yes I only got issue 2/3 as well. Despite being told our numbers would stay the same, my subscriber number has changed.
The letter makes no mention of the stands/binders though, so hope I get them as I did not opt out of them, when I signed up for the test series.
KNs47
August 29th, 2013 - 3:11pmI had problems with the move from the test to the standard run too. They were going to start me from Issue 6 even though I only received three issue on the test run. I suggest anyone who was on the test run gives them a call to check that all their details are correct, as Eaglemoss take ages to sort things out if there’s an error. I got a new sub number too, which was a bit worrying, so I phoned to check I wouldn’t be charged twice!
bow tie wearing stranger
September 6th, 2013 - 1:10pmSame here, Welcome Letter (email) advises my subscription starts at issue 2, the payment schedule quotes 2nd September as the starting point (for issues 6 & 7). With the next payment date (for 8 & 9) in November.
Also, given a new subscriber reference as well, instead of keeping the one from the test set.
Can’t fault Eaglemoss for their products, but had hoped the admin ‘glitches’ from the test series had been ironed out.
NB no mention of a delivery schedule either.
Polarity Creative
August 28th, 2013 - 6:12pmJust got this: the figure is very good. Very tempted to set up a subscription for this. There was a leaflet thing inside about the series and it had a 2XA3 spread of each Doctor’s era with pictures of monsters behind. I think these might be upcoming figures…
booboo
August 28th, 2013 - 6:48pmHope so there are some cracking figures there

P.s If at any time I want to cancel my subscription, is it possible?
Thank you – Gemma

August 28th, 2013 - 6:10pmThat’s right and yes you can
