Cheers
I've been seriously trying to avoid collecting Daleks on a large scale as I just know I'd bankrupt myself trying to keep up with Characters release schedule
The Character Building Daleks have to be my favorites

Hmm, is it just me or does the new 3.75 Twelfth Doctor action figure look like Jeremy Clarkson?

haha....
I would love a Top Gear series figure line! Creepy Top Gear figures. Too expensive and not really figures, but if ReAction out them out, I'd be all over them.
Some say he plays with his toy action figures on a daily basis. All we know is,he's called the Stig!

Finally got my 'War Doctor' figure yesterday!!!
Great figure! The likeness on this figure is one of CO's best, right up there with the Roger Delgado figure. Really pleased we have him. I hope that the amazing success of this figure will encourage CO/UT to put more 5" figures out there; at my local Forbidden Planet store they only had one left despite getting a load of stock the other day - fortunately Dad had phoned in advance and asked them to put a couple aside for me and him, otherwise one of us would have went home unhappy!

DW full trailer... this new Who seems to have a bit of a dark, industrial feel to it I think

Thanks for sharing Paul, that's the first time I've seen it. I'm looking forward to seeing what Peter brings to the character.

Hey guys,
I am trying to figure out if there is a TARDIS that is on par with the 3 3/4 scale figures. I have the Flight Control Tardis, but that is more for 6" (???) figures. It is too big and I want to downsize it.
So, is there anything out there that would fit in better with the 3 3/4 inch figs? It doesn't have to make sounds or open (but that would be cool) .... just looking for something I can slip in my SW collection as a bit of funny.
Anyway............
thanks!

Jay, you need the 3.75 inch Character Options Spin and Fly Tardis (2013): http://doctorwhotoys.net/spinandflytardis.htm
perfect for SW scale figs

Alternatively, if you want something cheaper and less functional, try searching online for 'Tardis' ... there were all sorts of misc objects made like shampoo sets, keyrings, wind-up toys, tins, money boxes etc etc.

Just got a deluxe 12' scarf in the mail a few days ago. Only a few more things to go until my 4th Doctor costume is complete

Don't forget a bag of jelly babies to put inside one of your pockets
Josh, that is so cool. Can't wait to see pics when it's all finshed and ready to go Is the K-9 a custom build by you? Looks way cool already. Will it be RC?

Thanks The K-9 is a custom build by me, but I'm going to start over on it soon. This one is made from foam board so it's not very durable The next one will be lightweight plywood and hopefully I'll be able to make it RC.

Almost complete just waiting on a fabric sample to make a more accurate vest and a few modifications to the jacket and it will be complete.

Time for an update. Here are a few things I've had come in over the past few months.
12th Doctor. I think this is a good likeness of Peter Capaldi and the detailing on his costume is very good.
War Doctor / with 8th Doctor head change. This is just so cool and an excellent likeness of John Hurt and decent one of Paul McGann. The detailing on the costume is one of the best I've seen.
8th Doctor head change.
War Doctor and 12th Doctor.
Classic episode DVDs and the excellent 2013 drama An Adventure in Space and Time - showing the origins of the show and the first Doctor

Very cool Paul. I am still wanting to start watching some Dr Who, but haven't had a ton of spare time and haven't bought any of the dvds yet.

As someone who knows nothing of Dr Who, if he is thirteenth why does the box say twelfth?

Bryan, this is going to make your head hurt a bit
He's known as 'twelfth' but there was the 'War Doctor' (see my other figure earlier) who appeared between Doctors 'Eighth' and 'Ninth' but who was initially shunned by subsequent Doctors for his war crimes. He's never numbered but technically the 'War Doctor' is 'Ninth', 'Ninth' as we know him is 'Tenth', 'Tenth' is 'Eleventh', 'Eleventh' is 'Twelfth', making the 'Twelfth' (as we know him - Peter Capaldi) actually 'Thirteenth' in terms of actual characters in the role.
A Doctor has 12 regenerations in a cycle. As far back as 1976 this was stated clearly. In recent years the BBC production team had to come up with a way of addressing that soon the Doctor would run out of regenerations and would have to die. So they luckily had the Timelords grant the Doctor a thirteenth regeneration and brand new cycle
This actually occurred in 'Eleventh's' tenure (= 10 regenerations) but mathematically it doesn't add until you factor in the 'War Doctor' regeneration and an aborted regeneration by the 'tenth' Doctor that still counted as a regeneration. Add these two 'extras' and this maxes out 'Eleventh' and puts the 'Twelfth' Doctor on a brand new cycle of regenerations - giving him another 12 lives!

:scratch:
Gotta study up on some Dr Who. So counting the "aborted regeneration by the 'tenth' Doctor that still counted as a regeneration" the twelth doctor is the actually the thirteenth or the fourteenth?
