The Doctor Who Figurine Collection Magazine Special 2
Doctor Who Figurine Collection Special
On sale Thursday 27th March 2014 £15.99
From the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV show comes the second special in the Doctor Who Figurine Collection: the Slitheen.
Disguised as members of the British establishment, these aliens from Raxacoricofallapatorius engineer a global panic in order to obtain the codes for Britain’s nuclear arsenal.
With the weapons they plan to turn Earth into radioactive scrap and sell it! This member of the Slitheen family is a detailed replica from the 2005 story Aliens in London/World War Three. Standing 85mm tall, it was recreated using both the costume and computer-generated versions of the Slitheen seen in the adventure!
Please check www.dw-figurines.com for more information or visit their facebook page.

April 2nd, 2014 - 10:32pmAny ideas what th next special will be?
Anonymous
April 2nd, 2014 - 10:56pmGiven what has been said, evidence from other collections and so on and so forth, it seems almost a certainty the next two specials will be:
The Face of Boe
K-1
Don’t know which way round they’ll release them, but those two are almost certainly next. Beyond that it is anyone’s guess.
Doctor Rules
April 1st, 2014 - 4:08pmcan’t wait for the next special. Sometime in July I think it will be out. Both special figurines so far are absolutely superb.

March 29th, 2014 - 7:52pmDo we know when pictures of issues 19-22/23 will be available?

March 29th, 2014 - 7:55pmTheatre is an image in the home page of them it keeps popping up

April 2nd, 2014 - 10:57pmThere are already pictures of the covers of issues 19-22 out there, if you got to their official Facebook page and look at the posts by others section you’ll find photos.

March 10th, 2014 - 8:00pmEaglemoss took payment today,so should get it in 5-7 days,although it might be sent with the next two figs on the 20th.
Anonymous
March 10th, 2014 - 8:24pmIt will almost certainly be with the next two issues, saves them money on the postage.

March 6th, 2014 - 7:31pmI got a email today to say that this should arrive on the 10th of March which is in 4 days!! Why so early I just got my previous delivery I think someone is desperate for my money!!
Trenzalore
March 6th, 2014 - 7:49pmIt says that payment will be taken out at around that time, so the figure should probably come around the 15th of March possibly 🙂

Doctor Rules
February 28th, 2014 - 8:09pmkroll would be epic for a special figurine
VespiformsSting
February 28th, 2014 - 10:09pmHow much do you reckon a kroll figure would cost I’d say about sick squid 😀
VespiformsSting
February 28th, 2014 - 6:09pmDoes anyone know what that stupid bit on nonsense on the forearm is supposed to be ??
Anonymous
February 28th, 2014 - 6:44pmIt has never been explicitly stated anywhere on screen. There could be any number of explanations for what it is a bone, a vein, part of the pump the actors inside the suit used to operate the fingers…
VespiformsSting
February 28th, 2014 - 10:08pmLol the last explanation being the most sensible 😀 ….
VespiformsSting
February 28th, 2014 - 6:08pmSuch a good replica of such a ridiculous creature…..the only good thing about the slitheen is that annette badland got to put in a good performance playing one….
Run you clever boy
February 28th, 2014 - 5:18pmRight I subscribed today from issue 8 and the premium edition is the postage good because a lot of people have said about them breaking which worries me someone help !!!!!!!!! And will someone give me some details on gifts and daleks
booboo
February 28th, 2014 - 5:23pmgenerally its OK
you will hear about breakages but people tend to post when things go wrong more than when things go right!
presumably you wall have to pay an additional £7 to get the premium Daleks in full
the free gifts are per delivery (not issues) so expect the emperor with your 4th delivery that’s 3-4 months, in the mean time you will get a stand and binder.
Run you clever boy
February 28th, 2014 - 5:34pmThanks booboo mind is settled also I’ve ordered the premium subscription so when will the first one arrive and I ordered from issues 8 because I got all the other issues and then stopped so need to catch up, with issues 8,9,10,11,12,13.14 will I get them in one go??? Thanks
booboo
February 28th, 2014 - 5:56pmnot normally, you would get 2 per delivery every 4 weeks
KNs47
March 1st, 2014 - 3:55pmIf you’ve ordered them as back issues you could get them all in one go, but if they’ve added them on as part of your sub, then they send them out quicker with more than one delivery a month till you catch up.
We’ve already had one of the Premium sub Daleks send out, if you’ve jumped onto the premium sub late have you specifically asked how you get the Dalek you’ve now missed? As Booboo said you might need to pay the missing £1s.
Anonymous
March 2nd, 2014 - 11:34pmIf you miss the jumping on point it looks like they won’t send you out the one you missed, but they won’t back charge you for it either.
They say you will need to pay the amount of money to make up for the Daleks you will receive, although I’m not sure if they’ll actually do that.
Doctor Rules
February 27th, 2014 - 6:33pmwhen is this out

February 27th, 2014 - 7:07pm27th march……its says on the article

KORSAIR
February 25th, 2014 - 11:13pmI’m talking about the Emperor that is.
booboo
February 25th, 2014 - 11:17pmnot yet
Cpl Hicks
February 26th, 2014 - 10:32amMy Emperor came today with Cyberman and Omega, which were completely forgotten about as I opened the large box. Have to say the Emperor is well worth the wait and everyone expecting one will be very very pleased
Doctor Stu
February 25th, 2014 - 11:09pmI wished they’d release the slitheen design from Sarah Jane adventures and the end of time
Anonymous
February 25th, 2014 - 11:21pmIt would be pretty much the same thing, except maybe in a different pose.
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
February 25th, 2014 - 10:14pmUnbelievably excited for this.
I hope they do:
The Mara
The Werewolf
The Statue of Liberty Angel
The Vespiform
The Gelth
The Zarbi
The Yeti
Azal
Robot K1
The Destroyer
etc.
Does the Dalek Emperor come with a mini magazine or not?
Anonymous
February 25th, 2014 - 10:27pmI haven’t seen anyone mentioning a magazine so I’d presume there isn’t one.
Matt
February 26th, 2014 - 7:38amIt’s dosnt come with a mini mag sorry
Paloma Nunez Alcalde
February 26th, 2014 - 10:00amI want the Robot K1 too, Robot was my first Classic serial and I absolutely love it.
Mumble5557 Online
February 25th, 2014 - 4:55pmI wonder if they’d do The Mara?
Anonymous
February 25th, 2014 - 5:48pmThere’s nothing stopping them, if the collections runs for long enough I’m sure it would appear.
VespiformsSting
February 28th, 2014 - 6:06pmCome on there are far more impressive thinks than that …how about the Macra ? Or a full scale Drashing or a war machine ? Or Arcturus ??
The Mara would be very near the bottom of my list of desired classics Im afraid…I cant stand those snakes stories and Kinda saw a lot of class actors landed in a ludicrous nonsensical script….

February 25th, 2014 - 4:54pm£15 pound aint worth it,Ill stick the normal ones.

Oodkind25
February 25th, 2014 - 6:45pmDarren, what was your broken bit because my emperor came with only one ear things attached!! and the eyestalks a little wonky
hayden7257

Paloma Nunez Alcalde

Darren
February 26th, 2014 - 11:37amoodkind25, like yours one of the ear bits had broken off, lets hope the replacement is ok eh
ahunter8056
February 25th, 2014 - 4:26pmAw, I thought the Slitheen was going to be a regular issue and not a special. Ah well, it’s only £15, I’ll pay it anyway.
Haydenp
February 25th, 2014 - 3:49pmhow big is it in inches?
Booboo Jr
February 25th, 2014 - 3:52pm85 millimetres = 3.34645669 inches
Thank you Google…
Haydenp
February 26th, 2014 - 10:16amthanks booboo jr
Trenzalore
February 25th, 2014 - 3:35pmNot as good as the TARDIS one but not too bad…
Infofreak
February 25th, 2014 - 2:05pmDo they need to be larger figures in order to be considered a special issue? Slitheen looks great!
SomeFunnyDrWhoReference
February 25th, 2014 - 2:14pmI think they do. The standard issues are all ratioed the same (1:24 I think) Although the prototype of the slitheen made it look bigger than it’s TV counterpart (although I coulb be wrong)
Anonymous
February 25th, 2014 - 2:26pmIf their previous figurine collection (based on Marvel Comics) is anything to go by, the specials can be placed into three cateogries:
Specials (larger figures)
Mega Specials (scaled down figures of huge characters, still larger than regular specials though, look at the Emperor Dalek for an example)
Twin Pack (two regular sized figures released together)
I would presume this is the same here.
nimons jelly babies
February 28th, 2014 - 9:59pmI doubt that is true as this states it is only 85mm tall, some of the normal figurines are 100mm or larger so i’m not sure where they got the scale from for this particular figurine. Looks alright anyway and i’ll get it because i want to complete the collection, not overly excited about it though. Seems like a bit of a waste for a special.
Anonymous
March 2nd, 2014 - 4:26pmBut if you look at the pictures you can see it is considerably larger in its width and breadth (its base is far larger than any other figurine in the collection). It may have the same height as the others, but its other dimensions mean it is considerably larger than the rest.
SomeFunnyDrWhoReference
February 25th, 2014 - 1:22pmThe Character Option Vespiform and Reaper were both excellent. I want the Myrka or The Face of Boe but ideally something we havent already seen as a figure…
Shane McEntee
February 25th, 2014 - 4:12pmI’d love to see a TARDIS console. The Steampunk Cyberking would be amazing too. I despersately want a Captain Jack with coat though.
SomeFunnyDrWhoReference
February 25th, 2014 - 1:19pmGot My Emperor Dalek Today – It is superb – I sent you a picture (with cyberman & omega) on your FB page Booboo (Instagrammed for added effect) Paul

February 26th, 2014 - 10:04amI have pictures too in my facebook
DJHarrington
February 25th, 2014 - 1:15pmAlthough I love the figurine itself I am struggling to work out how they are going to fill a 50+ page magazine all about the slitheen
SomeFunnyDrWhoReference
February 25th, 2014 - 2:11pmIt’s had a few appearances in the SJA too. Perhaps it won’t have the book sized magazine this time either. i don’t know why they did tiny magazines for the premium daleks. Theres nowhere to file them!!!
Moodbeam
February 25th, 2014 - 12:31pmI’d love for them to do the monster from ‘The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit’ but I’m guessing it won’t happen because it wouldn’t be in scale.
76 Totters Lane
February 25th, 2014 - 1:14pmThey can do a scaled down version of the Beast. I’d like to see a Reaper from ‘Father’s Day’ or the Vespiform from ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’.
