    Many figures that should’ve been, plus release on DVD of every episode that survives, plus release of Shada, and a full animation of a completely lost serial.

    I’d really like a Key to Time cube which can be disassembled and reassembled with a tracer which buzzes when it’s near to it! Would anyone else like that?

    The emphasis should be biased towards the original programme, after all it did something for 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th and 40th.

    The key thing is unreleased DVDs. If more money is needed for restoration, animation etc then increase revenue via box sets with gifts, alternative covers or numbered editions.

    Doctor Who DVDs are the backbone to fandom, as VHS’s were before them. I have all six versions
    of all series 5 & 6 releases, so x2 each of some 50th anniversary classic releases is not an issue if it generates revenue for higher quality DVDs.

      I doubt if we will get box sets next year. As i dont think the last unreleased story will be out till quite late on in the year so i doubt they will have time to release box sets in 2013. Their priority is to release the unreleased stories not box sets.Seeing as all remaining stories are well into production money isnt an isnt an issue.

      OH MY GOD, MY SON’S A NAZI! They had Hitler Figures back in Nazi Germany to attract children to the party. Also I don’t think there can ever be Historical figures, but they can make a Queen Liz 10 figure with guns. If they did make historical figures, then they have to have a Van Gogh Figure.

Ambassadors of death (if its not out this year) and mind of evil (in restored colour) terror of the zygons (hopfully with alternative effects(cgi has already been ruled out)) tenth planet (with animation for ep 4 and galaxy 4 ep 3)ice warriors (with animation and underwater menace ep2) Plus the following special edition releases
    Ark in space
    claws of axos
    2 doctors
    aztecs
    inferno (picture quality could look a lot better imo). And that would fill up the 2013 schedul

    since every dalek is coming back, they should have “mega dalek collection sets”. the 1st set includes supreme dalek (2010) supreme dalek (2008) supreme daleks from 1980’s episodes.
    i call it the “SUPREME EDITION”.
    Then another collection i call dalek origin sets:
    a set with 4 drone daleks
    a set with 4 2005 daleks
    a set with 4 imperial daleks (including special weapons dalek).
    a set with 4 renegade daleks
    a set with 4 gunmetal daleks (including chief dalek).

    A book that covers all 50 years of doctor who (as there is none) covering every epsidoe with episode guide, guide to the allies, monsters, enemies and technology/gadgets that appeared in each episode along with behind the scenes info.

    If that is not possible then have a book for each type above or doctor which covers all the above.

    So basically a big encyclopaedia.

    A new doctor who partwork (has to happen as the show will be 50 years and is very popular.)

      We still get the message, but why is most posts concentrated on action figures, when there is an entire plethora of media for Doctor Who to be based on: CDs, DVDs, Big Finish, Books, Monopoly.
      Think on a broader scale guys, Character options can’t be the weight-bearer of who’s 50th, can it?

    i have already said i wanted a box set of 11 episodes and 1 figure sets, but i have changed my mind on the sets. I think the could do a 50th annivercary wave, with 7 figures. A yeti, joe, and some others. Then 3 sets of episodes (one for robot with tom baker, elizabeth sladen, brigadier and the robot or something like that, probably not robot but that is just an example). who thinks that would be good? I am designing my ideas for packaging now!
