Found three sets of this in B&M. A very reasonable £15 but they all had blemishes/marks on the figures so I passed. Also saw the Zygon/Invasion Cyberman/Ice Warrior set. All the Cybermen had mould scarring on the face. -Ralph

I got one of these sets a couple of weeks ago, but I'm on the hunt for another as both of the Jo head moulds have been used. I didn't realise at the time I got the first one.

There have been two Jo Grant figures released previously, both of which had different heads. This new B&M figure is an amalgamation of parts from both, but some have been found with one version of the head and some with the other.
I'd prefer mine to have the other head because it's more accurate, so I'm looking to replace mine. The quest is the quest!

I must resist making jokes about Jo having different kinds of head.

Her variant is really very satisfying.

13 Doctors set appears to be coming to TRU for £100, but in a limited run (still suggested to be 600 units) so possibly unlikely to reach a sale price. Meanwhile, Underground have shown this 9th series 12th Doc:

I will have to get one of those Capaldi's as the head sculpt is new. They've used the worst head for the Tennant figure, but it's the most recent so the moulds will still be in reasonable nick. Wonder why they're reissuing the Tennant console set? Seems an odd choice.
So little coming in the 5.5" line now... A couple of variant figures and a reissue set.

Featuring two waxy, olive green arms exposed plant brain ready to gas with its sunken cheeks that project forward and an O-shaped rubbery mouth.' -Ralph

I have waited all my life to own a Vervoid in physical form. It is sure to form an interesting talking point within the home.

Three more B&M three packs this summer it seems, but nothing exciting variant-wise for anyone who already has the original releases. Nice themes for the second two, but the first has a new series Sontaran with two classics. I think the Tomb Controller has only ever been available as a build a figure before. I reckon the Attack Cyberman is a variant because the last one had a removable face plate.
Shame they aren't as cleverly thought out as the third doctor set last year.
Monster Set – Due into stores end of July / early August Sontaran (Skorr?) Attack Cyberman (Rogue) – Fixed Mask Non Weathered Cyber Controller – Tomb of the Cybermen
4th Doctor Set – Due into stores end of July / early August 4th Doctor in long dark brown coat (No Panel) K9 (Greyer Version) Leela
9th Doctor Set – Due into stores end of July / early August 9th doctor in leather jacket Rose (No Spiders) Auton
