March 11th, 2020 - 1:02pmBooboo, are you aware that neither this Jodoon figure, nor the reconnaissance Dalek are appearing in the 5.5″ figures section on this website, but the Graham, 13th Doc and Tardis figures are in the list?

March 11th, 2020 - 2:06pmSame. All available to purchase from their site again, too- which means they should be available again on Amazon, too. And, presumably, good to go from Forbidden Planet any minute now.

February 23rd, 2020 - 4:13pmhey, I was wondering with pre ordering with forbidden planet, will the figures come on the day or shipped on the day?

Anyone?

February 24th, 2020 - 8:27pmIt depends when they are in stock. I’m currently waiting for a 1st doctor console but it’s currently awaiting stock. It’s likely after the date for the product

March 2nd, 2020 - 8:21amNot always the case, but more often than not: Forbidden Planet ship on the day of release, rather than aiming for items to arrive with you that day (I receive pre-ordered items from them at least fortnightly, if not weekly, so I see their procedure quite often). Forbidden Planet tend to ship 2nd Class, too- so allow a good few days for delivery rather than next day. (Though if an order goes above about £30-ish, they tend to use DPD rather than Royal Mail, which means items usually arrive, then, within 2 days of dispatch rather than 3 or 4 or even more, with notification of an estimated delivery time from DPD.)

February 3rd, 2020 - 2:06amI have now pre-ordered all 5 items, though I may cancel or modify if they show up cheaper, and if it turns out Graham is in the set remove him from my order since I don’t like Bradley Walsh anyway so won’t be getting 2 of him. May cancel TARDIS if I can somehow get one of the B&M ones.

February 2nd, 2020 - 6:41pmBooboo, could you please do a comparison photo of the old my room captain compared to this new figure. Some people are saying the chest and weapons are different. It would be great to see a comparison photo. Thank you!

It means in english
That figure is amazing
Demdike@CultLabs
February 2nd, 2020 - 1:02pmThese figures should be in stores now, maximizing sales with the show on tv, not waiting until weeks after it’s finished and forgotten about by the general public.

February 1st, 2020 - 3:12pmThese all look great! Pre ordered all of them apart from the Tardis as that’s a bit pricey for what it is and what with the B&M Tardis sets I already have can’t justify another one at that price! Hoping perhaps we get an interior playset!
The Werewolf
February 2nd, 2020 - 2:43amIf I was able to get hold of any of the B&M TARDISes I would do the same. (sadly the only one I saw was the one I really didn’t want to get). I considered passing on the Thirteenth Doctor but I think this one looks better than the first, so it looks like I’ll be getting a full wave of Character figures for the first time.

February 1st, 2020 - 1:45amI’m thinking we’ll probably get a trooper in the B&M pack with yaz and Ryan
When The Doctor Was Me
February 1st, 2020 - 10:20pmI have a few ideas of what the 3rd figure
1. Judoon Trooper
2. Graham with gloves and brown jacket
3. 13 without coat
Anonymous
February 2nd, 2020 - 9:35amI doubt there’ll be another Graham figure so soon (this’ll be our second 13th Dr figure in two years). I think it’ll be someone from Series 11 like Grace or Tim Shaw(?)….
Anonymous
February 2nd, 2020 - 11:12amNah, it’ll be a Judoon or a Thirteen variant.
When The Doctor Was Me
February 2nd, 2020 - 11:14amIt’s not impossible for another Graham though. We had Bill in a B&M set then a single figure about a month later. Plus the teaser photo did show him in gloves. That was my thought process anyway.
I can’t see a brand new tooling of Tim Shaw in a budget set to be honest. But it would be a welcomed surprise!

February 1st, 2020 - 12:40amShe’s cool
Judooning
February 1st, 2020 - 12:38amLove it. A good reuse of the original figure. I did wonder if the Captain was blind, looking at promo pics.

January 31st, 2020 - 10:44pmIs the horn removable?
James
January 31st, 2020 - 11:18pmThat wouldn’t be very nice. It’s a dishonour to the judoon lol.

February 1st, 2020 - 2:52pmYes…. if you have scissors
bob hellier
January 31st, 2020 - 10:25pmnice to see a judoon figure i wonder if they are a relation of the Kraals from the android invasion
James17
February 1st, 2020 - 2:56pmAlways thought the Kraals were like the love child of the Judoon and the Sontarans

February 2nd, 2020 - 3:10pmYESSS! GENIUS!
Stanley Gleed
January 31st, 2020 - 9:56pmCouldn’t they release a Judoon trooper as well. It would make sense and it has been a while since that original realise. Can’t have a Captain without some troopers

Anonymous
January 31st, 2020 - 9:22pmRandom Thought!
Take away the armour. What does a Judoon’s body look like? Like, that’s a massive head for the body. Must be very hunched over. Always thought the same for the Sontarans!
The Living Shadow
February 4th, 2020 - 5:23amHaha that’s a strange thought… I can’t imagine how the big rhino head would on top of humanoid shoulders!

January 31st, 2020 - 4:17pmHonestly pretty disappointed with this. The skin tone should be much lighter (almost grey) and the horns also look way too dark so they stand out far too much and look really unnatural. The hair seems really spiky (kinda like it’s got gel in it) and is also way too dark. The lack of new pistol or the larger blaster is also pretty disappointing. I feel that at the very least they could’ve painted the pistol holster red to match the new metallic ones.
DoctorPond393
January 31st, 2020 - 7:08pmThe Judoon in ‘Fugitive..’ were a lot darker in tone though, as were the horns and hair. The new pistol is an unfortunate lacking feature but the new design isn’t that different anyway tbh, and the Judoon Captain never uses the blaster so including that would be inaccurate. You’re just picking for the sake of it.
Anonymous
January 31st, 2020 - 7:23pmAbsolutely not. The Judoon in the episode has a much lighter skin tone than previous Judoon Captains, whereas the one which has been used bears much more similarity to the one from Smith and Jones. If you look at promo pics from the episode, you can see the hair is much lighter and shorter than it is on the figure. No, the Captain does not use the new blaster, but as an accessory it is much more interesting than the blatant reuse of the inaccurate pistol. The horns should be much lighter, in the episode they’re only a couple shades darker than the skin tone, rather than the harsh brown tone which has been used on the figure. I’m not just ‘picking for the sake of it’, I’m simply noting that there’s a number of questionable paint applications and slightly bizarre sculpting of the ‘mohawk’. Forgetting the inaccuracies though, I’m sure it’ll make for a fantastic figure.
booboo
January 31st, 2020 - 7:27pmthe problem is as it takes months to develop these figures, even tweaks, it depends on how much info Character were given i suppose, the secrecy surrounding the programme now filters down to all levels.
TARDISBoy
February 1st, 2020 - 1:10amBooboo but this was revealed like a year ago, the promo photos they released confirming the Judoon were returning showed the new gun
booboo
February 1st, 2020 - 7:59ambest go ask Character why its not as you think it should be then they are the only ones who can tell you why.
DoctorPond393
February 1st, 2020 - 9:34amI personally think the skin tone is spot on. They are far more brown in Fugitive than we have seen before. They’re practically grey in Smith and Jones, Stolen Earth and The End of Time, so I just don’t see any problems. Maybe the hair is a bit longer but I don’t see that as an issue.

February 1st, 2020 - 3:24pmJust being way too picky! Be grateful we are getting any 5” figures at all and not through b&m this time!

January 31st, 2020 - 3:46pmHow is the gun new? It looks the same to me, but maybe I’m missing something.
JacksonLake
January 31st, 2020 - 3:55pmYeah it’s the old one! Hope this is just a place holder for a new gun or something.
SamWho
January 31st, 2020 - 4:42pmI think that’s the one we will get They probably didn’t know or could not afford to make a new one that’s only slightly different

January 31st, 2020 - 3:31pmI was wondering the same!?
booboo
January 31st, 2020 - 3:38pmit was blind in its right eye and that’s shown on the figure.
When The Doctor Was Me
January 31st, 2020 - 3:56pmOh I see! Makes sense I suppose.
JacksonLake
January 31st, 2020 - 3:56pmBut…the promos for the episode showed the blind eye, and it was never a plot point in the episode. She had the blind eye since the first scene she took off her helmet on the ship. Hmm…
booboo
January 31st, 2020 - 4:00pmyes, but its still always “until broadcast” but, i really dont know why its been such a delay
