Figures based on 'The Invasion' Cybermen and 'The Tomb of the Cybermen' er, Cybermen (with cybermats) It's like someone is making toys just for me. -Ralph Wait, there is a range with multiple incarnations of proper Cybermen? I fear that I can definitely see myself picking up some of these. I can see myself ending up with a Patdoc being menaced by multiple generations of Cy-ber-meeen. They were after all one of his iconic monsters. Karl

There is such a range. I almost fell over when I saw them. I am so buying them when they're more widely available!
Available now in ASDA: The 'future' sonic screwdriver, as featured in 'Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead'.

I might even be tempted to attempt to acquire all of the Build-a-Figure (the first time I will ever have bothered with something like that) if it is a Cyber-Controller to lead them. Karl

hold off buying the cyber figures. The early ones in Argos have $#!+3 quality control, especially on the ears. Wait till someone else has them

I bought the Time Squad 2 packs of Slitheen and Weeping Angel as well as Sontaran VS The Doctor. These are brilliant thus far! Just opened Slitheen and Weeping Angel and find that these pose really nicely (more like the TMNT: Mutants and not stuck in one posture like with TF: Robot Heroes). The Doctor looks like he can optionally hold the Sonic Screwdriver, whereas the Sontaran is firmly attached to his gun (makes sense Weeping Angel is my favourite of the two, and he's got a decent gimmick also. Two Different faces Lots of potential here with this sub-line. Really pleased.

Ralph is torn. There are 2 new Cuddly Colin figures in FP. One is Colin in a blue coat from 'Real Time'. I may be able to resist that. But the other is Cuddly Colin 'regeneration figure' ie in knackered Davidson coat. I. Want. It.
The B &W 1st and 2nd Doc figures also look awesome.

I passed on the above. Too pricey for what they are.
Spotted the End of Time figures in local Sainsburys today.

I have The Narrator/Rassilon/Daltonator action figure. He may yet end time itself.

Okay, that does look neat. I especially like that McCoy's figure doesn't have the stupid grin that the other releases do

Great price-point for 11 figures and McGann looks tops. And 11 Doctors in a box hits my fan gene hard. Yeah, I need that set!

2011 series figures have turned up in my local ASDA. Big gap where I presume the Daleks were.

I've only just seen that 11 Doctors set. Number 6 seems to be thinking, "why don't I get anything to hold?"

Big gap where I presume the Daleks were. -Ralph Whereas in my Tesco the only figure that survived the first forty-eoght hours on sale was a solitary Dalek Drone. They had sold everything else they had put out between Thursday night and Saturday morning. (New Daleks look even tubbier as toys than they did on-screen) Karl

Finally seen more of the New New Who figures in shops in Falkirk. Tesco has things that are not Daleks - Amy Pond and some blokes who I don't really recall from early episodes - whilst Toymaster has a red Fat Dalek and Dalek Ironsides lurking on its shelves. (Along with a giant remote control Fat Dalek).

I have yet to see this red fat Dalek anywhere. I refuse to believe it exists.
It boggles my mind that the Dalek must be short-packed and yet every store has dozens of Peter the fucking Winder!

It sits on my shelf. They weren't packed in with earlier cases but disapear quicker than other figures.
I've seen a similar scale of infa red controlled figures.

If I had possessed money on me I would have picked it up, but unfortunately I had spent the contents of the wallet on food by then. I may donder back at the weekend and see if it is still there. It could team up with my Black Dalek bubble-bath container to help it with its dreams of ruling my desk.

There's a Supreme Dalek Bubble bath from last year. I'm sure they'll be a Fatlek one this year

I must have handed out two dozen Red Daleks in my final weeks at Toys'r'us. There was one in a box, along with one Tommy Dalek, two Weeping Angels (malformed and fully formed), three Winders, one Doctor, one Pond, and three other dudes. A later assortment mercifully took out a winder and put in a second red dalek.
If you don't see any out, always ask a member of staff if they have an unopened box in the back! It's your best shot.

CO have made some very dodgy case assortment decisions in their time. They make some of Hasbro's positively sensible.
The problem with this assoretment is the Fatlek & Tommylek are larger than the other figures .... but are the most popular. Multiples of both of these plus multpiles of Matt & Amy and singles of the others would have been best from the consumers POV.

Tommy Dalek..... My brain for some reason immediately read that as a Dalek who is called Tommy - and probably lives just down the road from his cousins George and Mildred Dalek.......
