Which 6 Figures Would make up Your Next Wave?

Now that we have seen all of the episodes from series 8 which 6 “key” figures would make up your ideal wave?



Interesting fact…

Parts of the Dalek space ship seen in “Into the Dalek” were made up from the Character 18″ dalek remote control unit…

remote1

The model is currently on display at the Doctor Who Experience…

remote3

You can see 3 remote control units in a row…

remote2

And in the episode…

remote4

And the item itself…

18-remote

    My ideas

    1): Paternoster gang set from Deep Breath
    2): UNIT pack with Kate and Osgood (RIP) with Cyberman brigadier and brigadier painting.
    3): The Twelfth Doctor from the caretaker
    4): Monster pack with the Teller,Foretold (Mummy) and rusty
    5): Villain pack with Missy,Madame Karabraxos and Sheriff of Nottingham
    6): Character pack with Clara (Into the Dalek),Danny and Courtney

    Play Sets:
    1): New Tardis.
    2): Inside Rusty with 7 Dalek Antibodies and cardboard cutout of Rusty
    3): W3 base,tombs or graveyard.

    We can all wish for new characters to be released in the new wave. Knowing character, they will just release variants of previous figures, so here’s my predictions:
    1. Tenth Doctor (Blue suit)
    2. Eleventh Doctor (Without jacket, showing the braces)
    3. Twelfth Doctor (with glove and spoon from ROS)
    4. Another Dalek
    5. Another Dalek
    6. Amy Pond Variant
    7. Skovox Blitzer (fingers crossed with that one!)

    Please! bring back the 5″ inch line or just release a 5″ Capaldi from either -Into the Dalek or -Dark Water & Death in heaven.

    Capaldi is a fan favorite of mine. Would love to see a 5″ inch variation on my shelf, with all other 12 incarnations of the man himself. I wouldn’t like to result to making a custom but if I had to I would consider it.

      I would want one too! It has been long time since when Matt Smith left. I was expecting to hear that there was two 5 inch classic figures, Second Doctor in a wool coat and a Yeti were in processing on prototypes. We must sustain our patience and see whatever happens.

    • tim slader

      November 10th, 2014 - 5:55pm

      Why if so many people much preferred the 5″ characters do the makers not revert? I stopped collecting because the smaller ones were so poorly realised. Has there been any sort of campaign? I a=must admit I am a bit late to this party.

    • TheOncomingStorm

      November 10th, 2014 - 6:03pm

      Five inch figures just weren’t selling well for them. You can still go into shops and see 5 inch figures from 2011 on the shelves. 3.75 inch figures are easier to produce, cheaper to produce and are compatible with many other figure ranges including Star Wars. At the end of the day it comes down to making money, which is fair enough to be honest.

    • Imlookingforthedoctor

      November 10th, 2014 - 8:17pm

      TheOncomingStorm, I was actually considering of collecting the 6″ inch black series figures at one point because they we’re highly detailed. I did collect the 3″ inch figures when I was younger, was an army builder for the 501st legion but I was also collecting Doctor who who figures at the time. I am not interested in the 3.75″ inch Doctor who figures, I was considering it at one point but I much rather prefer the 5″ inch range because of the detail. Don’t get me wrong the detail for the size is astonishing but there just not for me.

  • Dalek The Supreme

    What I want in the future of the 3.75 inch range:

    Heritage figures:
    *Fourth Doctor w/K-9
    *Seventh Doctor
    *Brigadier
    *Cyberman (Earthshock)
    *Cyberman (Moonbase)
    *Auton
    *Ice Warrior
    *Silver Dalek

    Dalek Sets:
    *Asylum of the Daleks set (Dalek Drone and Dalek Strategist in metallic color)
    *Planet of the Daleks set (Supreme Dalek and grey Dalek
    *Remembrance of the Daleks set (Imperial Dalek and Special Weapons Dalek

    Problem is with ‘Top 4’ votes, is that the people that liked a story like Kill the Moon actually rate it 5th or 6th. This means the mediocre stories get misinterpreted at the bottom, when there actually okay, but not top 4 consistently for most (as a result they get a lot less votes). Whilst Deep Breath has split opinions, meaning it would get more votes from the half that liked it, despite some people believing Kill the Moon is better, because it has a consistent opinion, it’s inaccurate. That’s why Kill the Moon is so low!

      I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it… I just think some things shouldn’t have been. Osgood’s death should’ve/could’ve been prevented. The guards would’ve surely overheard what they were talking about, and the Bridgadier shouldn’t have come back as Cyberman form to save Kate, perhaps as a ghostly figure?

      Honestly, that’s my opinion. It was brilliant for a finale episode. But the use of (almost) indestructible cybermen seems a bit, if you will, overrated. Cybermen at a Worldwide scale reminds me too much of the S2 finales.

    I haven’t started collecting the 3.75 inch figures yet, but I have got 11th doctor (keep on calling him 12th by mistake!) and I love it!

    So, I would want Strax because that would look amazing in hand, but out of all, I would want Missy.

    I’m hoping, that sometime I will be lucky, and we’ll get a 2 set with 11th doctor and Missy as 5 inch figures, because that would be the greatest thing ever!

      its never actually gone away

      3.75″ is the Current Character “mass market” line

      i think underground toys may continue to market “key” new series characters in 5″ and we may get some classics still via a voting and pre ordering system

    • Destroyer of Worlds

      November 9th, 2014 - 2:53pm

      Also character are posibly copying Hasbro’s black series where you vote for a classic figure to be made in 5inch.

      Which won’t have any varients but comes with good accessories and will cost £20 because it will be highly detailed and will be only classic.

    • Sniffy

      November 9th, 2014 - 11:01pm

      As long as they make a 11th Doctor, I’m happy. Even if it’s going to be £300.

      (Don’t worry, it wont cost that, I’m just saying that no matter how much it will cost, I’ll be buying it).

      I can just see it, a twin pack with identical packaging to the impossible set, but instead, a clock themed style like the new intro! Missy on one side with a brief description and the Doctor on the other.

      Off course I don’t like to get carried away with accessories when thinking about possible sets, but Missy needs either her umbrella or he weapon.

  • PedroPete

    November 9th, 2014 - 1:20pm

    I think they should also do a ‘classic monsters’ wave with:

    1963 Dalek
    ‘Tomb of the Cyberman’ Cyberman
    Brigadier
    Davros
    The Master (Delgado OR Ainley)
    The Rani
    Special Weapons Dalek

    or maybe a ’13 Doctors’ Set.

    We still need a TARDIS Playset though!
